    The Lefty Lexicon

    Nicked off someones blog, but it's brilliant nonetheless.

    http://conservativehome.blogs.com/pl...wilson_a_.html

    As a footnote, some Muslims complained about the definition of "Islamaphobic" (anyone who objects to having their transport blown up on the way to work) and his employer, Orange, promptly suspended him. It's only fair...
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

    He should be able to sue them successfully and I hope he does do it.

      Went down well with my "Saffer" colleagues (who now wish they'd moved to Australia rather than Britain )
      Not that you'd see it reported that way in the media.

        I could even vote for a guy like that!
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Top find Mordac! Particularly like:

          Diversity - creating a workforce based on how people look rather than on their skills or aptitude

          Multi-cultural - All culture is valid - unless Western in some way. Usually to be 'celebrated' and always found to be 'vibrant'. See 'diversity'.

          Workers - notional ‘class’ of people that Lefties once claimed to represent. Now replaced by college lecturers, human rights lawyers, pressure group employees, civil servants with 'liaise' in their job title - and other people you would probably not want over for supper.

            they will succeed

            unfortunately for him his employers name was at the top of the article, so his views are associated with their name.

            Quite insightful some of the entries.

            made me laugh out loud!

              A website set up as a platform for Conservative Party supporters to debate Tory issues has found itself at the centre of a freedom of speech controversy.

              A contributor has been suspended from his job as community affairs manager with the mobile phone company Orange after comments he made on the ConservativeHome website.

              Inigo Wilson posted a "Lefty Lexicon" in which he defined "Islamophobic" as: "Anyone who objects to having their transport blown up on the way to work."

                "Religion - Christianity: irrational, dangerous belief that material things may not be the principal motive behind human behaviour. Judaism: most Israelis are Jewish, so probably "intolerant". Islam: always needs to be "understood".

                Quiet clearly they were not picking up on Islam only, if Orange fires the guy then he will certainly sue and win - it is absolutely illegal to fire someone on the basis of their comment outside of work time on unrelated site and unrelated theme so long as words said are legal: its none of the Orange's business.

                Having said that they just suspended him (on full pay I presume), will see how it turns out.

                  Here's where the action started:

                  Muslim Public Affairs Committee

                  http://forum.mpacuk.org/showthread.p...7&page=1&pp=20

                  Notice the Christian Public Affairs Committe didn't complain about the Christian references.

                  It's a shame when someone cannot write an article that was clearly tongue-in-cheek and a bunch of oversensitive, blinkered, nothing better to do apart from vent their twisted, bitter views on every aspect of a culture they despise gets the guy the sack, which will happen because he'll never recover from this.

                  It's a sad, sad time for our country. It's ruined. Fucking ruined....

                    Relax hyper, nothing is ruined - such cases are very good and will help ensure that religion is kept where it should belong.
