Philosophical belief under discrimination?
|
I think the tribunal needs to be taken outdoors, beaten with a stick for several hours, and then told to examine the issue again.
The full facts are not given.He is claiming discrimination on age as well as his beliefs. The tribunal has found that his beliefs are genuinely held, that is all.
He hasn't won the case yet, so let's wait and see what happens. Many of these tribunal cases are settled before the actual final hearing.  A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
Again, this is obviously British law so would someone enlighten me on what someone's "beliefs" have to do with anything?
In the US someone's beliefs ( and we have some fucking winners running around unsupervised ) are irrelevant. For example, you can believe in sacrificing virgins to the Moon goddess but as long as you don't go out and do it, so what? Speech ( or belief) is one thing and conduct is another. |
