X Factor flop Faye Bray loses job fight
Saturday 12th November 2011, 9:57AM GMT.
A former X Factor contestant has lost her claims for unfair dismissal and sexual discrimination against the Midland prison where she taught inmates.
A tribunal ruled mother-of-three Faye Bray rightly lost her job after wearing ‘mesmerising’ clothes to work and posting provocative pictures online.
The 30-year-old, of Cannock, had alleged she was unfairly sacked by The Manchester College, which provided services to Brinsford Young Offenders Institution in Featherstone, near Wolverhampton. She had previously faced disciplinary action for performing in an ‘inappropriate outfit’ when she auditioned for the ITV talent show in 2009.
One of the online pictures showed Mrs Bray, who taught life skills, politics and literacy, wearing a basque and stockings and brandishing a whip. She claimed she had not intended the image to be “sexual”. She told the tribunal there was nothing wrong with aspiring to be like Barbie, Katie Price or Pamela Anderson.
Mrs Bray said a statement would be issued through her management firm later.

The fact that she was allowed to teach life skills to “vulnerable” young offenders speaks volumes about the people who gave her the job, surely some very searching questions should be asked about the suitability of job applicants for these positions. As for her teaching life skills it sounds very much as though she should be receiving the lessons. Someone should break it to her gently that Barbie is not a real person and as for the other two on her list, well, if there’s nothing good to say, say nothing. I’ll just keep quite.

She deserves all she got. Her job is a position of trust and professionalism. She works an Ford Escort girl also know what I mean. Mosy of Willenhall and Wolverhampton have highered her know what I mean. Her husband Richard is her gimp know what I mean

She did nothing wrong, she was being a performer, she wasnt in work in her basque she was on stage doing what she loved doing. Some people especially management prey on opportunities to jump on others to justify their positions of power. Fay enjoyed the moment of fame & the ego boost from such gave her an image that did extend into work, once mud gets thrown it starts to stick. A bit like if everyone from the same village tells the same story to each other, they will start to believe it themselves. This can happen in Board Rooms too. Hence

Whatever you do make sure these young offenders are shielded from women wearing Lingerie (even though they will have seen far more explicit material on-line, and you are kidding yourself if you think otherwise .
But hey, Oh my god, just think how our entire civilisation will collapse if these young hot blooded oiks ever get to think/see/imagine what perfectly ordinary women wear everyday, in and out of the bedroom.
This country is mental. And any one who agrees with this Tribunals decision is a fantasist. But keep up the pretense…you’re the only one you’re convincing!
