Islington to appeal Ladele

…well, it was hardly a surprise, was it?

It is reported here that Stonewall want to intervene. Meanwhile, I’ve picked up on this blog (mainly because it was kind enough to link to me), which has rounded up some of the reaction to the judgment. Most amusing yet predictable is the Daily Mail’s stance that:

• … it applauds Ladele’s tribunal win, yet believes Muslim checkout staff who refuse to serve alcohol should be sacked on the spot;
• … her win is “a victory over Labour’s equality agenda” – her win was actually under the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations enacted as part of Labour’s, erm, equality agenda. Shurely shome mistake?
