    Wouldn't usally make a serious comment to a dailymail article. But that is PC gone bloody mad.

    7/10.

    would pork her

    The UK has gone to the dogs. They have lost the plot. Political Correctness rules over there much like Islam rules in Pakistan. Saying the wrong thing can get you in big trouble. I hope people wake up from this madness soon.

    This is just madness, i mean how was he really supposed to know that what he said was racist.

    I would'nt get offended if this person asked me to go for a plate spuds.

    Mr Hunt looks devastated. He was simply trying to hunt some fanny by luring her in with a bacon sandwich, now he'll be luring through rubbish in the hopes of mouldy toast for breakfast. Either that or he'll find another job.

    I'd have thought it would have been more racist of him to assume she was Muslim just by judging her on her the colour of her skin, if I had gotten that stupid call I would have said that.
    TBH it makes that girl and the NHS look very bad for making any kind of a deal out of a real non issue. It really makes the girl look like a complete tool for even bringing it up.

    It IS possible that the one side to the story presented above may not be the whole truth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    Seems ridiculous alright. It is the Daily Mail though.

    Should the recruiter not be fired for interpreting an innocent comment in a racist way.... ? I mean did he know she was a practising Muslim, did he care... ?

    I know it he knows it but his manager doesn't

    A senior manager phoned Mr Hunt afterwards to ask about his racist remark


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭SeanW


    She doesn't even look like a Muslim. How could he have known his comment would be taken so badly?

    It's the daily Mail. It's completely one sided nonsense, all we have is this fellas word for it that he was sacked for this reason.

    They do this muck all of the time. Ignore them.

    ...yes, she lacks the distinctive beard that marks their race.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Jeez, that woman must have little else to do with her time than look to take offence at an on the surface of it, innocent off the cuff reply. She brought up breakfast he said he'd get the bacon sandwiches. She chose to take offence and make a complaint to her boss. If anything her boss should have pointed out to her that she was being ridiculous. Then again if the boss had done that we'd probably be reading that she was suing him for something ridiculous:rolleyes:

    She's probably just screwed up her own career advancement prospects, I mean would you hire that kind of bullsh*t attitude?

    ...or, more than likely, yer woman sez 'that fella said something odd about bacon sandwiches - not sure if he was getting a dig in or not - would ye ring him?' following from which the manager rings and queries him, gets an earful, and decides to have nothing to do with him.

    I don't like reading these type of things, because it just makes me want to kill myself.

    If he really didn't get the job because of that comment he should have grounds for a lawsuit imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,677 ✭✭✭frozenfrozen


    His religion says hes allowed to have bacon sandwiches, fire her for not wanting a bacon sandwich.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Hardly any quotes in that article and a few are switched around.

    The title has "dream" job but the guy never mentions it was a dream job.

    Sandwich, sarnie, just what did he say as the quote keeps changing.

    Maybe the story is true but the editor was messing around here

    And why is it under science? :pac:

    You want to kill yourself because of one stranger may or may not have made a racist remark to another stranger?

    Im afraid you really need help

    If you go around expecting racism, you'll find it everywhere.
