She's in the news today, having won a court case against a Muslim pupil who argued that her school was discriminatory in not allowing Muslim pupils time and space to pray (described as "prayer rituals" by the usual suspects). She won, and is crowing about it in her typical manner. Her fellow wasnkers, sorry, travellers are arguing that legal aid for judicial review cases should be scrapped and isn't this a marvellous victory for common sense. Esther McFuckingVeigh said "Hallelulijah! Praise the Lord!".
A few observations:
1. She's a cunt.
2. How long before "no special treatment for any religion" impacts on Christianity? You know, like Quentin Letts saying there should be mandatory prayers each day? And what will the overlap between those mentioned above and those screaming blue murder about Christian culture being erased look like. Like a fucking circle with a thick diameter, I predict.
3. This crap:
'To the Jehovah Witnesses: We teach Macbeth as a GCSE text, even though it has witches in it. To the Muslims: We don't have a prayer room. To the Christians: We will offer revision classes on Sundays. To the Hindus: The plates will have been touched by eggs.
Macbeth is a work of fiction, something most JWs would appreciate (And besides, what's the moral? Don't trust witches.). A Sunday revision class is an opt-in that doesn't impact on mandatory school time. Denying people any space or opportunity to fulfil a central requirement of their faith is a little more serious.
I'm not religious, but I'm also not a wanker. This smacks very heavily of treating all faiths equally, but some more equally than others.
Also, if the school is secular, why are they singing the national anthem, which is explicitly religious?
