    Words fail me - again!!! v3.0

    Is this really Britain in 2005????

    From The Times

    Christian doctor 'was forced out'

    By Frances Gibb


    An eye specialist has accepted undisclosed damages after claiming that he was forced out of his job by Muslim colleagues.

    Joseph Erian took the United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust to an employment tribunal, stating that he was made to resign from the ophthalmology department of Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, after staff there discovered that he was a Christian.
    The tribunal, which started earlier this month, ended when the trust offered an out-of-court settlement and admitted that the problems surrounding Dr Erian’s case “were not his fault”.

    Dr Erian pursued his claim privately after the British Medical Association refused to back the case, Jane Jelly, his lawyer, said. He brought his case under the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003, which make it illegal to discriminate against someone on the grounds of their religion or beliefs.

    There must be more to it than that.

          Why did the BMA (who are very conservative)) refuse to help him? I smell something more fishy going on. Sounds like he's after loads of Kerchiiing.

              Wouldnt be surprised if this chap just wasnt up to the job and he has used a smokescreen of religous discrimination to cover his shortfallings and try to steal money from his former employers.

              Pathetic really.

              Seems that the BMA saw this opportunist for what he is ... a chancer.

              And would you like to hire somebody who resorts to dirty tricks ?

              I think not.

                Good point Alf

                Sadly, I believe this applies also to a number of racial/sexual discrimination charges brought by other people, some of them not-white (gasp, am I allowed to say that, oh I just did!)
                Why not?

                  I can't help wondering why they would pay out a '6 figure sum' if there was really nothing to it.
