Good!

Well done for that ruling, casual racism or any racism for that matter is not acceptable.

Ps just as Liz Truss Tufton Street isn’t economics

So posting racist offensive posts on line isn’t a philosophical belief - that makes sense to me.
Given the sensitivity of her job I shld think not

Guess she didn't take pride in her racism and xenophobia.

Reap what you sow!

Good grief. I was joking when I suggested Brexit believers should apply for protected status…

Assume this implies that being pro EU membership & ECHR is also unprotected?

Logically yes

Now I’m a bit old and out of touch but I understand the term here is “snowflake “. Is that right? Or is it just “whinger”? Just thought I’d ask.

Being sacked for something you do outside work that doesn’t affect your work and isn’t illegal feels wrong to me, especially a social media post.

Racism will get you fired.
