Electrician faces the sack for displaying cross in Van

[rocker]

Every spark in that area should go get a 8 " cross and show solidarity with this spark and let the local paper see the crosses in there vans..

This would NOT be happening if the bloke were muslim/hindi or some other religion that Screams from the roof tops when some stupid clipboard person says''can't have that old boy'

The local sparks, unions and local churchs and ex services groups should be ALL backing this man to the hilt.

I think this is a really good idea, and I'll be getting one of these palm crosses for the motor.

As has already been said NOBODY of other faiths or religions (apart from the nuts and bombers) gets offended by symbols and icons of other faiths. It is just the powers that be who seem hell-bent on destroying any identity this country had..... and for what? So they can't be sued, presumably. This is what needs to change in the western world, the horrible blame culture that has crept into every day life, it should be made much more difficult to take somebody to court for reasons such as this. Maybe then people will start taking responsibility for themselves and stop trying to make a quick buck out of anything that may happen to them or anything that could be loosely construed as 'offensive'.

I apologise for the rambling nature of this post, I think I may still be drunk from last night......

Why did the forum remove the word Cross from the title???

Title I posted (it's still in firefox's form memory)

Don't know why it was removed. It's back now.

Thanks sintra....... I confess it might have been me, after re checking firefox form data

All I can say on the subject of the op is that it's a disgrace that the country has come to this.

Your local church should be able to help you out.
I went to a C of E primary school; just before Palm Sunday every year the Rector used to bring over a big bag of dried palm branches and had us manufacturing them like some kind of Victorian workhouse.

I am Greek and I have one of these Palms on the inside of my van and also another cross hanging down, which was given to me by my grandparents.

None of my customers have ever said anything to me or complained.
Should i cover my van in a black cloak and only expose the windscreen.....Ithink not !!!

He should start wearing a habib then he cant offend anyone NOT!!!!!
this is not only a waste of tax payers money in both bringing the action but in the probable legal action to follow should he be sacked

I see ugly people working for my local council they Offend me by their ugliness can I demand they cover up (is this why so many "ladies" wear the Habbiby??)
