Proceedings against the PM

[dummkopf]

The lawyer of the shrouded teacher has said that unless Tony Blair withdraws his comments on the incident, (he has supported the way in which the incident was handled) the teacher will bring injunction proceedings against the Prime Minister ! Only in Britain eh ?

tell him to bring it on.the education council have refused to take her back on despite any ruling.surely tony blair is too busy keeping up with islamic extremists to even comment.anyway, the good thing is things are changing thank god , now that even the pm is speaking out on behalf of the people of this country.

I only know the basics of this case, but a neighbour told me theat this young lady did not wear a veil for her interview, if this is right, then surely, she should be disciplined for the religous stance she's taken.

Oh I love that bit, "even the pm is speaking out on behalf of the people of this country" - unfortunately, here's another, but more well worn phrase - "You couldn't make it up !"

1:i heard her in her own words on the radio,admit she had no veil on at the interview by a male,
2: her "english" was semi intelligible, why she is allowed to teach is beyond me

Why do Muslims have such a problem with opinions that oppose their own?
I guess, like with the BNP, it's just a vocal minority. Not all whites are racists morons and likewise not all Muslims want to crush free thought.

The lawyer is just trying it on. This is an industrial tribunal not a court case. Blair is quite right (for once) in saying he will not be intimidated by this jumped-up little attention-seeking lawyer. I'm sure lawyers attempting to bully politicians happens all over the world not only in Britain as you suggest.
It seems like a clear-cut case to me. An employee refused to follow a reasonable instruction from their employer. They have, therefore, broken the terms of their contract and should be dismissed. Religion has nothing to do with it.
