    Would this happen in any other country ?

    WTF

    RAF sergeant in uniform moved by hospital to avoid offending other patients - Telegraph
    A hospital that made an RAF sergeant move out of sight of other patients in case his uniform caused offence has been forced to apologise.
    Aircraft engineer Mark Prendeville was relocated twice by hospital staff who allegedly told his family “they didn’t want to upset people” and “have lots of different cultures coming in".

    Careful, someone with a freshly polished halo and an over abundance of self righteous fake adoration of certain racial and religious groups will be along to label you a racist.
    Not vocally despising part of British native culture means you're a bigot these days, it's an entire industry the whole taking offence at anything that could be labelled British.

      Nope. I really can't see such stupidity happening in any other country.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          Have you no idea of RAF etiquette? Good grief man there are standards to uphold (even by the Crabs).

          Black Labradors with that name are limited to Wing Commanders and above, a Sergeant is likely to have a Jack Russell at most, now if he was a Warrant he'd qualify for a Bull Terrier called Bullseye!

            Well I'm offended by people in turbans and burkas but no one tells them to fook off.
            What happens in General, stays in General.
            You know what they say about assumptions!

              Well you can, but you're not then allowed to take offense if one of the wearers of said apparel then stabs/shoots/beats you over the head with a baseball bat or gets a few hundred thousand of his close family to forcibly invade your country.

              Bloody racist!!!

                180 current members of the British armed forces wear turbans. Millions have in the past.

                Your attitude is no different from the people who would take offence at a uniform wearing soldier in a hospital.

                  To answer OP: No, it shouldn't be happening here and haven't ever heard of it happening in any self-respecting country.

                    It's fooked up.

                    Anybody who does not like men in uniform in this country should take their place risking life for very small salary.
