Was reading a report last night regarding Tower Hamlets Council in London, it seems that all employees and councillors have been sent an Email asking them to observe the feast of Ramadan, by fasting so as not to upset the muslim employees who work for the council. No doubt this will actually have nothing to do with the muslims that work there just PC prats who are employed by the council. Where is all this PC crap going to end:(:(:(:(

I will celebrate Ramadan by having a bacon, sausage and egg barm cake for breakfast.

Are they going to make those that don't give/receive blood......give/receive blood?

As not to upset everyone else of course :rolleyes:

I think if I worked for someone that expected such a thing from me I would book a few days on the sick stating dizziness from lack of food making it dangerous for me to fulfil my duties.:confused:

Have you not had your letter from the council jaysay? The one stating that you must observe ramadan in order not to upset the majority of Accrington! No? I havnt either, was just wondering how long it will be! :rolleyes:

Re: You will join in
 

I'll observe Ramadan if they'll observe Lent Derek:rolleyes:

These clowns have imposed other silly directives in the past according to this article in the Telegraph -Councillors told not to eat during Ramadan meetings

Christmas meal to be renamed “festive lunch” and Bonfire night celebrations replaced with a show about some Bengali folk tale. Absolute madness.

People with health problems dont have to fast pregnant women and women on their monthlys dont either..... unless they are insisting that everyone fasts, unlike the muslims?

Re: You will join in
 

I'm 99% sure this report is completely fabricated.

Barm cake?! What kind of foreigner are you! :eek:

Re: You will join in
 

Why the hell should they have to?
Its not their religion,what a load of bull.
I would like to see them try and bring something like that in where i work!
When its ramadam the muslims that work with us fast and we let them get on with it,simple!
We have been told recently at work that we are not allowed to cook bacon in the microwave any more because it is against their religion and somebody has complained about it!
Madness,sheer madness!

Re: You will join in
 

are you gunna stop selling it as well?

Re: You will join in
 

What do you like your bacon, sausage and egg served on, barm cake, muffin, oven-bottom, tea-cake or how about a stottie? As my long departed grandmother used to say " If there's any difference, they're all alike."

Re: You will join in
 

It's a tea-cake! Nothing else!

Re: You will join in
 

Exactly!
They have no qualms selling bacon or alcohol etc.. which i guess we should be semi grateful for!
But seriously we have been open nearly 2 years now and this is the first time it has ever been an issue!
We can't understand it and have said that maybe there should be 2 microwaves then to stop any trouble.
