Here's where the action started:

Notice the Christian Public Affairs Committe didn't complain about the Christian references.

It's a shame when someone cannot write an article that was clearly tongue-in-cheek and a bunch of oversensitive, blinkered, nothing better to do apart from vent their twisted, bitter views on every aspect of a culture they despise gets the guy the sack, which will happen because he'll never recover from this.
It's a sad, sad time for our country. It's ruined. Fucking ruined....

That is one scary forum - there was only one moderate viewpoint - the rest OMFG!!! If they're all like that it's no wonder that...............oops better stop there before I have a visit from the NL thought police

It's a symptom of our entire culture being changed from within by malicious, narrow-minded, bitter people who have forgotten about the very spirit that makes us all human.

Well said, that man.

These people serve a very useful purpose as to show things that people take for granted.

(Deep breath)

Thanks...

I don't know, I just get very irate when oversensitive groups get given power to effect peoples lives when the bigger picture is just humour, and yet they pull out fragments of words, call it "Islamophobia" and companies get freaked out by it.

He obviously knows about S3 too...

Progressive - describes ideas generally thought up around 40 years ago – that still don't work.

Relax hyper, nothing is ruined - such cases are very good and will help ensure that religion is kept where it should belong.

"Religion - Christianity: irrational, dangerous belief that material things may not be the principal motive behind human behaviour. Judaism: most Israelis are Jewish, so probably "intolerant". Islam: always needs to be "understood".

Quiet clearly they were not picking up on Islam only, if Orange fires the guy then he will certainly sue and win - it is absolutely illegal to fire someone on the basis of their comment outside of work time on unrelated site and unrelated theme so long as words said are legal: its none of the Orange's business.

Having said that they just suspended him (on full pay I presume), will see how it turns out.

No fecking way - outrageous!!!

unfortunately for him his employers name was at the top of the article, so his views are associated with their name.

Quite insightful some of the entries.

made me laugh out loud!

A website set up as a platform for Conservative Party supporters to debate Tory issues has found itself at the centre of a freedom of speech controversy.

A contributor has been suspended from his job as community affairs manager with the mobile phone company Orange after comments he made on the ConservativeHome website.

Inigo Wilson posted a "Lefty Lexicon" in which he defined "Islamophobic" as: "Anyone who objects to having their transport blown up on the way to work."

Nicked off someones blog, but it's brilliant nonetheless.

As a footnote, some Muslims complained about the definition of "Islamaphobic" (anyone who objects to having their transport blown up on the way to work) and his employer, Orange, promptly suspended him. It's only fair...

Top find Mordac! Particularly like:

Diversity - creating a workforce based on how people look rather than on their skills or aptitude

Multi-cultural - All culture is valid - unless Western in some way. Usually to be 'celebrated' and always found to be 'vibrant'. See 'diversity'.

Workers - notional ‘class’ of people that Lefties once claimed to represent. Now replaced by college lecturers, human rights lawyers, pressure group employees, civil servants with 'liaise' in their job title - and other people you would probably not want over for supper.

[gingerjedi]

I could even vote for a guy like that!

[GreenerGrass]

South Africa - a national showcase for Lefty policies with a one-party state, some of the worst crime levels in the world, tragic AIDS mortality and declining economy.

Went down well with my "Saffer" colleagues (who now wish they'd moved to Australia rather than Britain )
Not that you'd see it reported that way in the media.

[AtW]

He should be able to sue them successfully and I hope he does do it.
