You're fired

Have you seen the story of the Muslim girl who was turned down for a job in a hairdressing salon, in part at least because she wore a headscarf which she was not prepared to take off.

The owner of the salon pointed out that it was an integral part of the job of anyone who worked for her to show off their hair as an advert to customers. So she didn't get the job, and took the case to an employment tribunal, alleging religious discrimination.

In a rather rambling judgment the tribunal awarded the girl GBP 4,000 for "hurt feelings".

So presumably a football club would be guilty of discrimination if it failed to take on a one-legged player, or an orchestra if it denied employment to someone who couldn't play an instrument? How daft can this get?
