COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Niqab Nonsense. Her Feelings Were Hurt, English Bureaucracy Folds.

First, the scam: Her deeply felt religious beliefs were put aside to get the job. It emerged she had not worn the veil during her job interview. You see this little Islamic princess cannot have a man, other than her husband look at her. Who knows what some randy Englishman may do. She does believe that she should teach little English children dressed as a stove pipe with a visor.

Second, the victimhood: Someone in the school still had a functioning brain that had not been pickled in multicultracide. they told her to get real and take it off. Mrs. Azmi could not conform to what was done in England, even though she was in England. "Sadly the intervention of ministers in my case makes me fearful of the consequences for Muslim women in this country who want to work."

Third, the claim: The school subjected her to a course of conduct that had the effect of creating intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for her and should reasonably be considered to have had that effect. It is heart breaking to read, culturally painful.


Fourth, the outcome: In the spirit of Dunkirk, The Employment Tribunal retreated from the fray and found one of three claims to be of merit and awarded Mrs. Azmi one thousand pounds compensation.

Fifth, the "unexpected" epilogue: In a statement Mrs Azmi said she was considering an appeal against the decision to dismiss three of her claims. "It is clear that discrimination against me has taken place and I am disappointed that the Employment Tribunal has not been able to uphold that part of my claim," she said.
"I am taking the advice of my legal team at Kirklees Law Centre and will be looking to appeal against that decision. However, I am pleased that the tribunal have recognised the victimising way in which the school and the local education authority have handled this matter and the distress that has caused me."

  11. At BC, Annoy Mouse is a man with a considered argument and a brilliant plan:

    "To this date, Israel is denied much of sensitive US technology and both the DOD and the State Department recognized that Israel cannot be trusted or controlled. That said, maybe the US should convince the Israeli’s to dismantle their nuclear weapons capability in return for the kind of mutual assistance pacts that we have with Japan and Taiwan."

  20. habu & buddy,

    Since loosing its resident obsessive Jew (me) C4 and others at BC feel free to express themselves with impunity. So be it.

    You know, I have no problem accepting that the BC, in the entirety, honestly reflects the views of its proprietor.

    Lamont just gets my old entrepreneurial juices flowing. Sometimes I have the nearly irresistible urge to sell lottery tickets to pick the lucky duck that gets the privilege of throwing the man under the bus. It is hard to kill a dream...sigh.

    re: 400 Israeli nukes

    Paraphrasing Twain, "I would be as confident as a Baptist with five aces."

    As to trust, how did that Viet Nam thing finally play out?

    Dr. Rice promised the Japanese American protection yesterday. You can bet on the Japanese being fully weaponized within a year.
