Totally wrong they shouldnt be employed in the first place. You wouldnt employ a life guard that couldnt swim. Will never visit their stores again
And that is exactly why folk have had enough little by little our way of life is being eroded I wonder where it will all end?
I'm not getting involved in this debate this side of Christmas, as much as i would love to so there. On second thoughts how about trying to open a PIG farm in one of their countries ( certain succes for failure ) Or place anyone of Muslim faith in the bakery dept. and ask for a dozen sausage rolls...... sorry couldn't help myself. Bring it on. Come on Smella show yourself.
If they are not prepared to fit into how UK is they should not be employed, Hope M and S fire them.
For Christmas Mr Cameron give each and every one of em a one way ticket home.
Ho ho.
Not fit for purpose. If you are not willing to do the job and you were aware of the expectation on applying then you should be dimissed. If on the other hand the employer had agreed that, due to their religeous beliefs, they did not have to do certain duties then fine. Only problem is that someone has to do it!
As Brooklyn Bridge, rightly says, it wouldn't work for a christian in a muslim country. I think the ramifications would also be rather more severe.
Just seen the following post on the BBC Facebook page...
>>>>>
An incident occurred in a supermarket recently, when the following was witnessed:
A Muslim woman dressed in a Burkha (A black gown & face mask) was standing with her shopping in a queue at the checkout. When it was her turn to be served, and as she reached the cashier, she made a loud remark about the English Flag lapel pin, which the female cashier was wearing on her blouse.
The cashier reached up and touched the pin and said, 'Yes, I always wear it proudly. My son serves abroad with the forces and I wear it for him'..
The Muslim woman then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing and killing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
At that point, a Gentleman standing in the queue stepped forward, and interrupted with a calm and gentle voice, and said to the Iraqi woman: 'Excuse me, but hundreds of thousands of men and women, just like this lady's son have fought and sacrificed their lives so that people just like YOU can stand here, in England, which is MY country and allow you to blatantly accuse an innocent check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen'. 'It is my belief that if you were allowed to be as outspoken as that in Iraq, which you claim to be YOUR country, then we wouldn't need to be fighting there today'. 'However - now that you have learned how to speak out and criticize the English people who have afforded You the protection of MY country, I will gladly pay the cost of a ticket to help you pay your way back to Iraq'.. 'When you get there, and if you manage to survive for being as outspoken as you are here in England, then you should be able to help straighten out the mess which YOUR Iraqi countrymen have got you into in the first place, which appears to be the reason that you have come to MY country to avoid....'
