Hush, hush, time to be sleeping

Hush, hush dreams come a-creeping.

Regulars may remember that I FOIA'd the Council into admitting that one fat cat, Michael Hainge, who left last year with more than a quarter of a million pounds was actually paid £124,000 of that to buy his silence over how Herefordshire Council is run.

So I followed up by asking which other recent executives, on leaving, were paid £100,000+ in 'Hush Money' agreements. Seems I guessed one wrong, as for the rest, bullseye:

On top of the Hainge hush money, we are talking about at least another half a million pounds here.

I know some of you won't believe it, but I really am speechless at what has gone on here.
