04/17/2009: "Man working with homeless charity run by Anglicans and Baptists loses job for saying he agrees with church teachings on homosexuality"

"On 26 March 09, whilst on shift with Fiona Vardy, you seriously breached ECHG's (English churches House group) Code of conduct by promoting your religious views which contained discriminatory comments regarding a person's sexual orientation."

Isn't it strange that the people who always bang on about "diversity" can't stand the most important diversity of all â€" diversity of opinion.

What disturbs me most is not just how intolerant they are of people's freedom of belief and opinion (obviously there have to be limits, but Mr Booker's were well within a reasonable spectrum) but how we are being turned into a nation of informers. People should be ashamed of themselves for reporting private conversations â€" if you object to a colleague's religious or political views, tell them or keep quiet, don't go running off to your bosses.

[ These days you just can't open your mouth without causing offense to someone. ]
