There are at least two things wrong with this country.
The first is that somebody can go to court and get money for hurt feelings. Fuck, I should be a millionaire by now.
The second is that there is no political party actually prepared to stand up against it, in case they lose some Muslim votes. Or upset the Race lobby, who are paid from public money to get hurt if nobody else does.
So we are stuffed. Do we have to vote for the BNP who I think probably are racists and fascists? Are they the only ones who common-sense people can vote for?
Probably yes. No one else gives a shit.

I work as a pianoentertainer, if a guest comes up to me and says they don’t like what I play, do I a) tell them they’re neither the only, nor the most important, of all the poeple in the bar regardless of how they might see themselves or b) sue my employer for allowing such insensitive people into the bar?

What I hate most about this is it gives a bad image to Muslims who, without fail, I get along with very nicely.

This is so unfair to the salon. At this point I think a bunch of people should just go by there and drop off a tenner to pay this ridiculous fine (which is what I’m doing today after work!). Nobody, and I mean NOBODY should be given an unfair advantage or special treatment because they can provide some religious pretext for feeling hard done by!

I agree wth the article. This stupid woman deliberately set out to look for someone to sue, because her inflexible attitude makes her choice of profession totally unsuitable.

Hairdressers do hair, and you wouldnt employ a hairdresser if they didnt have smart hair themselves. Theres an old ENGLISH proverb ‘Its a poor cook that cant lick his own fingers’. Showing off your skill with your own hair, and modeling hair for your employer clearly is a major part of being a successful hairdresser. If you cant do it, then you far less use to a hairdressing salon than someone who can.

this silly bitch knew what she was doing, just like the other one that refused to take her viel off when teaching children. they refuse to integrate and then scream racist and milk the system.

Quite frankly, this woman, along with all the other poor little hurt moslems that wont integrate, do more damage to the image of there own culture than any suicide bomber. They are less than 2 percent of the population, never mind the crap about multiculturalism, this is not a multicultural country, 98% of us are white English, Welsh or Scots, and the state religion is Christianity. We should not have to bow to this tiny minority every time they kick and scream and throw there toys out the pram and try and suppress free speech and rational debate with there fake cries of ‘racist’.

[...] GHASTLY news – the owner of a London hair salon has been ordered to pay £4,000 compensation to a Muslim stylist who was turned down for a job because she wears a headscarf. (See earlier Freethinker report here). [...]

Either someone who believes it is wrong to display her own hair is genuinely keen to devote her entire professional life to helping other women to do just that, which is inconsistent at best … or she realised that it was a better way to get a payout than risking the odds on the National Lottery. Stand by for more of these cases…

First of all the title of this article is very well designed to piss of Muslims, I guess congratulations are in order if that’s what the author intended.

Second of all, it seems a little odd to me that a woman that takes her religion so seriously as to wear a hajib, that she would want to be a hair dresser. The whole point, I thought, of wearing a hajib was a display of modesty – why would such a religion woman devote a lifetime career to doing the opposite for other women?

If Miss Noah was such a good hairdresser why had she been turned down
twenty five times previously? Furthermore why had the people who trained her let her go after eighteen months?
