Old news. He won the case in February.

An old colleague of mine was a single constable in the Garde and lived in the Garde Barracks in Waterford.He had passed his Sergeant's exam but promotion then was filling dead men's shoes. One day the local priest called at the Barracks and enquired of the Captain why young E....n did not attend Mass every Sunday. The officer was summoned and the priest asked why he was not attending on Sunday.. My friend said he was no longer bothered in Catholicism. The priest then demanded he contribute to the collection every Sunday even though he was no longer attending.
The officer told the priest where the exit to the baracks was and not to bother him at 'his home' again.
Camillus never got his promotion in the Garde. The priest saw to that.
So Camillus joined the Met and that's where I met him. At least the Met acknowledged he had passed the Sergeant's exam and later gave him his stripes although the Met promotion exam was different to other forces

This is a clear example of a fundamentally good idea - the avoidance of discrimination, being allowed to swing far too far the other way, and actually implement the very levels of discrimination it is supposed to alleviate.
Principles still need people to implement and interpret them, and that can lead to errors in judgement - which happily on this occasion, have been rectified.

maggiebee - // He said he would never be promoted as he was a practicing Christian. Found it strange, and a bit sad. //
From what I have seen over the past few years, practising Christians have only been penalised professionally because they have insisted on ensuring that everyone around them is aware of their faith - often to the detriment of their professional responsibilities.
I am an atheist - it never proved a problem at work because it never came up - I doubt any of my managers knew, much less cared.

Maybe you are right AH, but in all the time I worked with him he never mentioned he was a Christian and certainly didn't "preach". He treated everyone with respect and was a great listener. Much respected in the area - parents often approached him for advice about their "troublesome" offspring and he helped many a young person back on to the straight and narrow.

I wonder if Muslim police officers are let off duty, so that they can pray 5 times a day?
