Mate, don't let your principles stand in the way of getting a free DVD! I've bought the Daily Mail several times for that very reason. I've even bought the Daily Mail for weekly runs to get the Free DVD offers (the entirety of the World At War, Brief Encounter and lots of David Attenborough stuff). The Daily Mail is truly brilliant for offers, notwithstanding the fact that it's a newspaper stuffed with hatred towards immigrants, blacks, browns, Muslims, Jews and the working classes. Remember Yes, Minister:
"The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country, The Times is read by the people who actually run the country, The Financial Times is read by the people that own the country, the Guardian is read by people who think foreigners should run the country and the Telegraph is read by people who think it actually is..."
With regard to the nurse, she should have been sacked. I'm a solicitor and if i started preaching Christianity or any other theism or atheism to people during the course of my work i'd be sacked -- my clients don't want to know my opinion on religion when we're negotiating a share purchase. "I realise that the cross option agreement isn't going the way you planned, but i'll prey that it all goes right". I don't see why, merely because it's a local health authority, she is being treated differently. Perhaps they're paranoid about a religion or belief claim -- local authorities are notoriously easy to sue.
