The multiculturalists on our islands may be interested in an article that appeared in the comments section of the London Sunday Times of August 4.

A Muslim couple from Cambridge demanded and obtained the sacking of a school dinner lady with an 11-year record of unblemished service. Apparently, their daughter had asked for gammon and she was given what she had asked for. The dinner lady had no idea that the child was a Muslim; the child did not even eat the meat as the head teacher noticed the incident and removed the dish.

Still, so heinous was her crime that when the parents complained to the school authorities, the dinner lady was sacked.
