it’s a crime to discriminate, even indirectly, and will cost you money.the road to dwnhill

For those who won’t know, M & S is Marks & Spencer. A very large and also a high end chain.  Often referred to as Marks and Sparks.  Don’t ask cos I don’t know.
For example, why is Hampshire abbreviated as, Hants. ?

Anyway … this is just another example added to others that make the blood boil and that feeling of being doomed.  When a major store has to bend the knee to a custom so far removed from the natural tradition and customs of what was once a most Christian country, you simply have to recognize that more will follow and the end times as a ‘sovereign nation’ are not far away.

Not that I want to be fair to the store but, I am also fairly sure that M&S do not want to run afoul of the human. civil and religious rights bodies that abound over here.
And lets not forget the laws of the ECOHR …. European Court Of Human Rights. I am certain they’d stick their unwanted nose into things Brit on the slightest provocation.  And then of course to nobody’s surprise, there is always the issue of law suits.  Yes.  It’s that damn bad.

In October this year, two Muslim workers won a discrimination case against Tesco after their bosses kept their prayer room locked.

Following an employment tribunal, Tesco was guilty of indirect discrimination with the men awarded an undisclosed sum for-

‘injury to their feelings’.

So as you see .... even being “indirect” about things like race is now a crime of some kind.  And certainly injury to feelings is a no-no punishable by dipping into your pocket or purse.

Then add to all the above … M&S has not met their sales targets, and have recently blown millions on one of the dumbest ad campaigns seen in many years.  It produced nothing in increased sales and in fact alienated quite a few.

And now finally …. this is not my place to say this but I will, especially since my wife said it out loud first.

The C of E (Church of England) has no backbone.  Over time they could have stood up more for the conservative church while not denying anyone of rights or religious belief.  But they have mostly … not done that.  The church has become somehow, the church of the meek.  The one man with conservative attitudes who always spoke out against the more liberal left, was the black Arch Bishop of York.
The church’s voice, had he been made Arch Bishop of Canterbury, would have been a lot louder in Christian beliefs, instead of a murmur in the background. 

M&S tells Muslim staff they CAN refuse to serve customers buying alcohol or pork

· Marks & Spencer’s policy applies to Muslim staff in more than 700 stores
· Shoppers are being asked to wait to pay for certain items at different till
· Highlights divide among mainstream food retailers over religious workers

By Sophie Jane Evans

The chain has granted checkout workers in more than 700 stores permission to politely decline to serve customers for religious reasons.
Instead, shoppers are being asked to wait to pay for certain items at a different till.

The policy highlights a divide among the mainstream food retailers over whether religious staff should be excused from certain tasks.
In contrast to M&S, Sainsbury’s has told Muslim staff that there is no reason why they cannot handle goods such as alcohol and pork - even if they are not allowed to eat or drink the products.

A spokesman said the retailer’s official guidelines - which see everyone treated ‘fairly’ - were written following consultations with religious groups, according to The Sunday Telegraph.
However, Morrisons - which is based in Bradford, where there is a large Muslim population - said it had a long-standing commitment to ‘respecting and working around’ workers’ wishes not to handle certain products for religious or cultural reasons.

Meanwhile, Asda bosses have chosen not to allow Muslims who object to handling alcohol to serve customers on checkouts.
And Tesco agreed it ‘would make no sense’ to employ staff on a till who refused to touch specific items - but said it treats each case individually, with no specific policy in place.

Does anyone else think that refusing to even handle a bottle is carrying this thing a bit far?  After all, it isn’t as if they are being asked to sample the stuff.  What is happening I would guess, is that certain agendas are being pushed to see just how far and how meek and how accommodating the
Infidels can be made to be.  Ya think?

Tom, Brighton, United Kingdom,

If it is offensive, then why would you get a job where handling those products may be a problem. It’s called the tail wagging the dog and more evidence of how stupid this country has become

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
