Now there is a "Right" to refuse to sell alcohol Submitted by Elijah Lineberry on Mon, 2007-10-01 01:44.
In the Daily Mail today it says that Muslim checkout operators have the 'right' to refuse to sell alcohol. This silly activity is taking place in Sainbury's (no surprises there) where Muslims can call for another staff member or supervisor to prevent them from engaging in the sale of alcohol. Apart from the appalling inconvenience for the customer, this shows the concept of 'rights' is getting out of hand, and hopefully leads to a boycott of this Supermarket chain by intelligent shoppers. Giving credit where it is due, however, the assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain did express a level of embarrassment at this activity, (which is hardly evidence of 'inclusiveness' in the British way of life), by pointing out Muslims employees have a duty to employers, saying [selling alcohol] "...is hardly going to count against you on the day of judgement". I wonder what would happen if someone claimed they had a 'right' not to serve Muslims at all? ...or a 'right' not to employ people who engage in what I term 'primitive witchcraft'? Where will this madness end?!?!

Muslims have an old wise
Muslims have an old wise habit: no alcohol, they are most restrictive when it comes to alcohol and we should learn something from them. I suppose you won't get to see too many Muslims having drug treatment.
Actually, employees do have
Actually, employees do have a right to refuse to sell alcohol - just as their employers have the right to fire their asses for exercising that right.

I
had intended to report on the 12 year old charged with GBH yesterday...but was worried SOLO-ists would think it was a hoax, that I was playing some sort of joke on everybody.
Some ideas for comedy skits.
Scene: Check out counter – decked out like customs in the arrivals hall of an airport. Big sign “Goods to declare”. Custom officer with clipboard giving out declaration forms to shoppers, whilst reading aloud the instructions listed.
“Shoppers you must declare all alcohol and pork products before you can approach the checkouts. You must declare items such as….
Beers, ales, wines, spirits, whiskey, single malt, blended, bourbon, Jack Daniel’s , scotch, brandy, port, rum, vodka, gin, martini, liqueur’s, methylated spirits, kerosene, alcohol related medicines, cough lozenges and rubbing oils. Middle bacon, shoulder bacon streaky, bacon flavoured scallops, bacon flavoured crisps, bacon bits, pork scratchings, pork chops, pork roasts, pork fillets, pork sausages, spare ribs, gammon, gammon steaks, ham on the bone, shaved ham, smoked ham, prosciutto, cheese, bacon or ham quiche & pizza. You must declare all of these things before you can approach the checkout. Anyone not declaring any of these items will be sent to the back of the queue.”
Did you see another story in the Daily Mail about the 12 year old, dragged through the courts charged with grievous bodily harm for flicking a piece of paper at a school mate with a rubber band?
That could be another skit with a couple of gangs of lads stretching rubber bands between their fingers at each other in a threatening manner and then being dragged into a paddy wagon by the cops.
