“It’s outrageous. I’m a proud Englishwoman and I don’t want these restrictions placed on myself.”

I am reading this and can't help but think that a little bit of the old British empire lives within this woman. Queen Victoria would be proud.

Yeah, but bureaucrats in Britain are craven wusses anyway.

What is wrong with the people who claim to run these companies? Profit is more important than individual rights.

I hope this lady sues them for millions.

These Kowtowing cowards at British Air, have no right, forcing british citizens to succumb to the culture or “Laws” of these Barbarian Herdsmen.

Lisa Ashton, a £15,000-a-year stewardess with BMI

Isn't that under $25,000 a year?

She was right to refuse and BMI, no matter what that employment tribunal in Manchester ruled, was wrong for sacking her.

She's better off without them, but I hope she wins whatever appeal she files and lives happily ever after with a big chunk of BMI's money.

Good for her. At least she’s kept her self-respect, unlike the owners of that stupid airline.

The only pleasure one can take in the Left’s destruction of western culture is that its most enthusiastic supporters—feminists, gays, minority race-baiters—are not going to fare well under what comes after. Not well at all.

Female employees of our American corporation and wives of employees were required to follow similar rules in Kuwait (in public places) when they were working there some ten to twelve years ago.

Perhaps, as has been the case in the past — the Brits are overrun with homosexuals.... Too many of their real men were lost in the wars....

This would explain much of their demeaning of woman, and their cowardly support of Islamist “traditions”......
It is no secret that homosexuality is even MORE widespread in Arab “culture”..... Much to the relief of the sheep.

I think she was a bit bloody cheeky and they wanted to get rid of her. Can’t have a proud Englishwoman working around other women, you know. Might cause some Saudi Woman to demand women’s rights.

So GB is now a colony of Saudi Arabia, or is it Pakistan?
