You can't get unfair dismissal until you've been at a place for one year, but you can take your employer to an employment tribunal if you feel that your dismissal was due to unlawful discrimination, or you were subject to harassment.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I agree "face does not fit" is generally good enough (unless there is a specific procedure) however this does not preclude a complain that any procedure was not followed or prevent the dismissal being unfair on statutory grounds (e.g. race).Comment
