I see that the woman in question is Coptic.

Dear Peter,

That is interesting. I would guess that BA might find themselves on the business end of a racial and religious discrimination suit?

The BBC newsreader, Fiona Bruce has also been ordered not to wear a cross whilst reading the news.

Are these folk so afraid of the power of the cross that they have to ban it? Alas, probably not, I suspect it is down to some jobsworth who thinks that someone might be offended - which, given a lot of the pernicious rubbish churned out by the BBC, is a trifle ironic.

I fear we must take it for granted that the one minority it is safe to target and to insult is the Christian one. It was, I think, the BBC that sponsored (then failed to run) 'Popetown'; you don't see them offering 'Muhammedtown' -, or 'Jerry Spring meets the Prophet' - I wonder why??

In Christ

John
