Driving school boss who made sexist, racist and homophobic remarks loses £2million court battle with instructors
Some 20 instructors quit in 2020 and sued to be released ROAD RAGE Driving school boss who made sexist, racist and homophobic remarks loses £2million court battle with instructors Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DRIVING school boss who made sexist, racist and homophobic remarks has lost a £2million court battle with 20 instructors. John Benson was ruled to have bullied Benson School of Motoring staff. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The High Court heard he called one instructor a 'wrinkled old bag' and a Chinese instructor a 'p**sy chow mein'. Instructors were tied to long contracts with the firm in Braintree, Essex. Some 20 quit in 2020 and sued to be released. Benson, 64, counter-sued, claiming damages of almost £2million. But judge Mr Justice Freedman ruled the instructors must be released from their contracts without any liability. Ex-instructor Janine Rusted, 57, of Great Chesterford, Essex, said afterwards: 'It was John's way or the highway.' A hearing to determine costs will take place later. Joanthan Hodge, consultant solicitor at Aquabridge Law which represented the claimants, commended the instructors for their 'bravery' in taking on Benson. He told The Sun: 'My clients spent five years litigating against the Benson School of Motoring in the High Court, and sought no compensation. 'All they wanted was to be released from an environment in which John Benson controlled them through fear and intimidation. I'm a driving instructor and here is how to avoid failing your test 'When presented with their claims, Mr Benson engaged a large team of lawyers who brought counterclaims against my clients for millions of pounds – all of which were dismissed. 'My clients could only sustain this hard-fought case by sticking together. "The judgment identifies their bravery in standing up to Mr Benson, confirming their fears were well placed.'

Dad of missing teen issues cryptic threat after she disappeared just before her 18th birthday
The father of a missing teenage girl shared a cryptic threat amid fears that she may have left with someone she met on social media just days before her 18th birthday. Hannah Osborn was last seen at around 7.40pm on August 9 leaving her parents' house in Bradford, Arkansas. Her parents, Wesley and Crystal, think she may have met someone on Snapchat and fear she may be in danger - as they claim it is unlike the teen to disappear. 'She's had problems with being on Snapchat and meeting people out of town and things, but Hannah has always come home,' Wesley told KATV, adding that there were 'some vehicles spotted on my road about the time that she left.' It remains unclear whether Hannah may have entered one of those mysterious vehicles, but on Facebook, her worried father suggested he may have information about his daughter's disappearance as he issued a mysterious threat. 'It's been a whole week since I've seen your beautiful face!' Wesley wrote on Saturday, sharing a selfie Hannah once took of the two of them. 'I'm coming and I'm bringing Hell with me,' he vowed, declaring: 'I know, they know and everyone will know soon enough!' He then pleaded with whomever may have taken his daughter to 'bring my baby girl home or give her a phone so she can call me!' He suggested he had information about his daughter's disappearance The message came just days after Wesley shared another post, assuring Hannah that she is not in any trouble. 'It's been the hardest five days of our lives, not knowing where you are or what may have happened to you,' he wrote in the post, tagging his daughter. 'We have turned this country upside down searching for you, following every single lead without hesitation, hoping we would see your beautiful face at the end of each one.' Wesley then told Hannah he would 'beat down the doors of Hell to find you and make sure you are safe, and I hope you realize that and know that you are loved and greatly missed. 'I want you to know that no matter what I will always love you,' he continued. 'Good, bad, right or wrong, I will always be here for you. You are my flesh and blood, my baby girl. 'If you are out there and upset with us or whatever the case may be, just know that you're not in trouble,' Wesley added. 'We're not trying to force you to do anything against your will. '[We] just need to hear your voice, look you in the eye (even if it's through FaceTime or whatever) and know that you are OK and happy wherever you are.' Wesley then reiterated the message in a post on Sunday. 'Hannah I love you and we all just need to know that you are OK. Call someone and let us know you're alive. 'Come home and give us a hug and tell us where you want to go or where you want to be. I'll help you gather your things and take you wherever you want to go.' He then went on to say that 'the unknown has our whole family in turmoil and we are all scared to death something has happened to you. 'We will not stop looking for you until we know you are safe,' Wesley wrote, noting: 'This is so unlike you and completely out of your character. 'I can't help but think that you feel the same way, scared and confused,' he mused. 'We love you more than we could ever express in words and I pray you find the courage and are given the opportunity to pick up the phone and call us.' Wesley has told KARK he was outside feeding his cows on the night of August 9 when his wife told him Hannah was gone. 'I called a neighbor and they brought a dog up here and it's like she just vanished,' he recounted. Wesley and Crystal say the disappearance was unusual, noting they were looking forward to celebrating Hannah's birthday with family. 'This is way out of character,' Crystal said. 'This is not Hannah.' The teenager is described as five-foot-nine-inches and weighing about 120 pounds. She has curly, blonde hair, though Wesley has said she frequently straightens it. She was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, and she was carrying an orange and black backpack.

Serbian leader vows tough response to protesters following riots
Shouting 'Arrest Vucic', the protesters demanded that all those detained in the past days be released. No incidents were reported. Serbian officers patrol in a truck in Belgrade (Darko Vojinovic/AP) In one of his frequent TV addresses to the public, Mr Vucic accused the anti-government demonstrators of 'pure terrorism' and re-iterated his claims that months of persistent protests against his rule have been orchestrated in the West and aimed at destroying Serbia. 'Our country is in grave danger, they have jeopardised all our values, normal life, each individual,' Mr Vucic said, alleging an elaborate scheme that would eventually install 'anarcho-leftist' authorities in the future. He did not offer any concrete evidence for his claims. 'Unless we undertake tougher steps it is a question of days when they (protesters) will kill someone,' Mr Vucic said. Serbian officers guard a street during an anti-government protest near the Serbian Progressive Party office in the capital (Darko Vojinovic/AP) 'I am saying this for history.' The stern warnings came after five consecutive nights of clashes between the protesters on one side and police and Mr Vucic's loyalists on the other. Angry protesters on Saturday evening torched Mr Vucic's governing Serbian Progressive Party offices in a town in western Serbia, and of other ruling coalition allies. The demonstrators on Saturday evening also clashed with police in Belgrade, the capital, and in the northern city of Novi Sad. Supporters of Aleksandar Vucic hurl flares at anti-government protesters (Darko Vojinovic/AP) Riot officers used tear gas against demonstrators who hurled stun grenades, flares and bottles at them. Mr Vucic did not specify what will be the state response that he said would come within a week. But he stressed that a state of emergency is not imminent. Scores of people already have been detained and injured in the past days while police have faced accusations of excessive force and arbitrary detentions of protesters. 'You will witness the determination of the state of Serbia,' Mr Vucic said. 'We will use everything at our disposal to restore peace and order in the country.' The clashes this week marked a major escalation following more than nine months of largely peaceful demonstrations that started after a concrete canopy collapsed at a train station in Serbia's north, killing 16 people. A Serbian riot police officer directs a man filming after clearing people blocking a street in Belgrade (Darko Vojinovic/AP) Many in Serbia blamed the tragedy on alleged widespread corruption in state-run infrastructure projects that they say fuelled poor renovation work. The Serbian president has faced accusations of stifling democratic freedoms while allowing organised crime and corruption to flourish. He has denied this. Serbia is formally seeking EU membership, but Mr Vucic has maintained strong ties with Russia and China. On Sunday, he praised Russia's backing for his government against what he called a 'coloured revolution' against his government.
