Lunch is off the menu

Health workers in Scotland have been banned from eating at their desks in case it offends Muslims. Health bosses think that the sight of food being eaten might upset Muslims as they fast during Ramadan, and lunch trolleys have also been banned for Ramadan, which begins next month.

Glasgow and Lothian health staff will be given time off to pray and celebrate Eid, the end of Ramadan. However, the same health boards have said that food vending machines should be removed from areas where Muslims work and staff should not take working lunches. The measures were drawn up by Meem, which advises on Muslim issues and its clients include the Scottish Parliament. Na'eem Raza, from Neem, said he was "thrilled" that the moves had been adopted.

Health chiefs defended the measures, saying they needed to promote a "positive and tolerant culture" at work and that they had introduced a "diversity" strategy. It said many of the staff, visitors and patients will be participating in Ramadan. Will they show the same consideration to Christians who wish to celebrate Christmas? Will they be given Christmas Day off work?

Cunts is what they are, cunts I tell you, cunts.
