Fear and Lothian [Andrew Stuttaford]
"Hospital staff in the Lothians have been told not to eat at their desks to avoid offending Muslim colleagues during Ramadan. NHS Lothian has advised doctors and other health workers not to have working lunches during the 30-day fast, which begins next month. The health service's Equality and Diversity Officer sent an e-mail to all senior managers, giving guidance on religious tolerance."
There's really nothing more to say about this story at this point, so I'll just let it stand there as a symbol, both absurd and ominous, of the mess in which Britain now finds itself.
