Muslim chef sues Met for being told to cook fry up

fry up.jpgIt will be interesting to see what happens with this situation? A muslim chef is suing the Met police force for religious discrimination after being told he had to handle pork when cooking coppers' 999 fry up breakfasts.

Although the chef was offered gloves so that he wasn't directly touching the pork sausages and bacon, he was still unhappy with the siutation as his religion forbids him from touching the meat.

No one wants to stamp on people's beliefs and we should all respect each other and treat each other as we would like to be treated, but but we can't help worrying this could have massive knock-on effects in our industry if his case is upheld. It would surely be unworkable? What do you think?  

The tribunal will be held next May
