I think you misunderstood me; I was saying that this would not have been considered such an important/noteworthy case if this had been about political beliefs because they aren’t pandered to in the way that religion is.

Dunno about that. If I saw a political badge on a Dinner Lady, I would just as annoyed as if a woman with a Zorro mask on.
Such deformation of uniform should not be tolerated. It shows a lack of respect for all and only garbage airlines (With therefore no proper maintenance plan) would allow it. So I wouldn’t fly on them.

I’m an atheist and even I, godless heathen that I am, know that the quote is either “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them” (Matthew 7:12) or “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise” (Luke 6:31), usually rendered as “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” in modern English.

These seem to have the opposite meaning to the quote mentioned in your posting.

Do you have a reference for it?

Matt and Luke. Weren’t they the Bross twins?

My opinion of this whole saga is that all the information being withheld should be released in its entirety and not watered down in any way. British forces tortured many humans in Northern Ireland so i wouldn’t be surprised if they did it in Guantanamo. We all make a massive noise about Guantanamo but no one mentions Castlereagh Interrogation Centre in Northern Ireland run by British forces, physical and emotional torture were routine there.

And your problem is?

What gets me about this story is that even though the rule was there to be applied to everyone, the lady in question still claims that she was being discriminated against because she wasn’t allowed to wear the cross.

Surely it’s the opposite? She is being treated like everyone else is, so what she is really asking for is special treatment for her religious beliefs.

Somehow I don’t think the case would have gone as far as this if, for example, she had worn a political party pin badge stating her political beliefs….

Yes it would. The uniform rules and the safety rules are quite clear from BA. The judge is 100% correct.
And the other Religious regalia has to be neat and tidy. Thankfully BA seems to mainly employ men as the dinner ladies. I really would object to being served by a Muslim woman with her face covered.
Singapore AL pride themselves on employing lookers. Is that sexist? I think not! It’s one of the things that keep them at the top of the favourite AL to fly with. Even a women appreciates another beautiful woman. So long as they know how to throw me down a shute, then go for lookers and dispell all this additions to a uniform, religious or political or fashion.

The Blue Note, by any chance?

Aye. That lad from Corrie was in there all the time too. Blonde. He went working for Pete Stringfella in his new London club.

The less faith people have in justice, the more they talk about revenge.

Scolding hot water on the bloke, is not justice, its violent revenge (and whoever did it, given their location may not be a piller of the community either)

If you openly condone such attacks you have to ask yourself surely if you would be willing to do it yourself.

The justice of the law gave him life. The justice of the people and all sane humanitarians gave him prison Napalm.
Yes, I would do it myself. Yes, I protected my property when I caught a burglar, I hit him with a garden rake, pointy end. It ripped a chip from his cheek. This was 1982 and the Police gave me a caution, and a private thanks for catching the scum. He’d done approx 150 houses (IGG recovered lead to that fact).
This was before I had kids, if somebody hurt my kids then the red mist would glow and I would kill them with my bear hands, with glee. Revenge? No, perfect juctice carried out by the lifelong injured.

Would that be the…. ahem…. venue immortalised in Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys Are Back In Town“, perchance?

Dunno. It was on Gore St, and Harold Melvin had some.

I once remember being Introduced to some dodgy gangster types , the shaking of hands went into some routine which would have put a Mason to shame , it didn’t quite end in a high fives , all the same I felt a bit of a burke , and I’m not ashamed of saying It a bit out of my normal comfort zone .

It wasn’t the Quality street gang was it?
I was on the door of their regular place in Mancland.
