On the one hand I can't believe how foolish BA have been, on the other I want to hug them. Firstly I must point out that I am an atheist who strongly believes the gospel according to Richard Dawkins. Organised ignorance is at the heart of so much of what is bad with this world. As I am a liberal, but don't believe in a god, it therefore doesn't matter to me whether other people want to wear items that express their beliefs. However, when people sign up for work they do so with an understanding of the expected dress codes. The woman who lost her case today knew what she was signing up for. On the other hand, how ridiculous is it that other faiths are allowed to wear their clothing and bangles? This is simply wrong, and smacks of inequality. If I had written the rules, I would have outlawed ALL religious dress. Sadly I didn't write them, and in this instance my liberal values are appalled that Christians are being discriminated against. Surely this is a rule that should be clear: all or nothing. Shame on you BA
