Talking A right burkah

This is too funny. See if you can spot the flaw in her argument.

That had me laughing out loud!! I would have thought that the fact that she is so dense would be more of a problem as a teacher than the veil!!!

OK. She appears on BBC TV News playing the racist card, saying she'd been discriminated against because she was turned down for a job in a C.of.E. school because she chose to wear that thing on her head. She says she wears it because according to her religion, men (other than her husband) cannot view her face. During the course of the interview, it comes to light that she attended the interview (conducted by a man) without wearing the thing on her head. She suddenly realises what a complete arse she's made herself look. Much hilarity ensues.

I had tears running down my face

She wanted the right to wear a burkah at school in her job as in her view it was not right to be seen by a male, yet it was a male & female who interviewed her for the job in the first place, minus her wearing the burkha

Couple of points here that I noticed when I lived in UK

1. These people are giving British society a bad name, trying to label people racists when all they are doing is wasting time and screwing society for everything they can get in terms of money [sueing people]

2. This deviousness is something I saw more and more of - thank goodness UK is waking up to it. Until these shits are ousted they will give everyone on all sides a bad name and create bad feeling on all sides.

3. It's a poor state of affairs when schools [or any business] now have to make sure males & females interview to make sure this sort of thing doesn;t occur again. It's almost like everyone has to be one step ahead, time consuming, wasteful and assumes everyone is out to get one over everyone.

I don't miss this shit at all

This footage is the best I've seen

She didn't get the job because she can't string a sentence together and is a bit lightweight intellectually.

The burkah also gives her problems with hearing.

If she wants to teach kids dressed as Ned Kelly then so be it but makes me wonder what she teaches, couldnt be dress making or debating surely.
