The British part of the World has gone mad. More specifically, the legal side.
A doctor has just been awarded £4.5 million because of discrimination against her.
She was adjudged to have been hounded out of her job by colleagues and the Trust at the hospital where she worked and to be the victim of sex and racial discrimination.
Now go back to the second line and make sure you read it again - £4.5 million!
Consider:
She is 53. She left her position in 2008 but the trouble started back in 2003. So approx when she was 45. Meaning she then had 15 years of normal work before retirement. Is someone saying that her income is £300K per year!
Consider this as well:
She is said to be suffering from 'Post Traumatic Stress Disorder'. This is usually associated with those that go through horrific episodes such as bombings and shootings. Sorry, but I can't help think that this association between her suffering and those of the July 7 victims or that of our military in Iraq and Afghanistan somewhat diminshes that of the latter. And that is shameful.
I haven't seen the evidence in this case and frankly I don't need to. I have seen the evidence, on TV of the bombings and shootings and our wounded and fallen returning home and to conflate her suffering with that of these true victims is shameful.
