Actually I have got a feeling that what they did may have been illegal....there is a thing about every ticket having an equal chance to win and prizes have to be distributed in line with the terms of the raffle. So you can't say that certain adults can't win certain prizes for ANY reason.

It's easy to see who dislike Muslims or other foreigners. All the answers here are predictable.

Do you think he had to pay the court costs for the scores of frivolent " claims" of discrimination?

[Atheist]

See what I mean? All the usual suspects say the same things.

[fender62]

Atheist, your wrong, it's the.. i have rights, i demand lot, not taring all folks, just the..above, who can and do ruin businesses.

[Jackdaw33]

Anyway, it's managed to bring the Right-on Brigade and friends of the Religion of Peace out of the woodwork.

[Togo]

There was me thinking that atheists despised muslems as much as christians and all sorts of other religions. How wrong can one be?

[Atheist]

Yogo; I'm not keen on bigots, that's all.

[Atheist]

Togo; are you an atheist?

I am very impressed with how many people would happily accept an inferior prize compared to the one they had won based on a decision made by someone else.

I rather doubt that I would.

[Barmaid]

Unlikely, because there are no costs generally awarded at Employment Tribunals.

He won a prize in a raffle. Someone decided to substitute that prize for a lesser value prize because of his religion. He had no say in that. He was treated less favourably because of his religion. THAT is discrimination. It does not matter what the intention or the motive was, it is still discrimination.

As for the rest of his claims - I do not think the employers acted well, but no discrimination was found. I do not think he acted well either.

Jackdaw33, load of rollocks in it, us them, this that...blub, here's one
i only hire women in short skirts...errrr outrage, joking.

[Jackdaw33]

Instead of a bottle of brandy he ended up with £2k. Nice work.

[Deskdiary]

It was a sad day when the cost to bring an ET was scrapped, because is has led to so many more spurious and vexatious claims by people who feel they have been wronged. Some people do it just to be malicious.

Trust me on this, even the most spurious of claims takes an awful lot of management time, time that is better spent running a business for the benefit of people who don’t have an axe to grind.

[fender62]

laughing all way to the bank, but...who would hire him now, id sack him, excuse is company is in a downturn, ya have go....gone
4 grand wont last long nada.

[fender62]

sorry wrong amount duh...still wont last, join his bretheren on the dole.

[Barmaid]

If a blind man won a car in a raffle and because of his disability it was substitued for a box set of talking books, would that be fair?

[fender62]

Barmaid, depends...if said person thought they could get a freebie out of something litigation, regardless of sex race or religion.
