A couple sued Waitrose for race discrimination after they came back from an illicit holiday with a tan.
They aren't black, so one wonders how deep this tan was that they thought they could get away with such nonsesnse. Luckily, the tribunal wasn't having any of it.
Peter Hedger and Katerina Dimitrova were sacked from the supermarket for going on an unauthorised trip abroad, an employment tribunal heard. They sued the upmarket retail giant, claiming that they were discriminated against because of their 'tanned skin'.
The tribunal was told the retailer's position was that the couple 'had been dismissed for gross misconduct namely, unauthorised absence'.
As would have been quite clear in their contract - let's hope no taxpayer money was used in this futile attempt, eh?
Mr Hedger told the tribunal that the situation had come about because neither he nor Miss Dimitrova had anywhere to live. He added that 'neither he nor Ms Dimitrova had worked since their dismissal as it was difficult for them to get work on the same shift, their financial means were not good and they had no income'.Then off you fuck back to Bulgaria, both of you!

Clearly they were wrong kind of gimmegrants.
When a couple can come to England from abroad, sue their employers because of a tan after they get fired for skiving off, then refuse to work becuase they can't get a job doing the same shift, we're seriously broken as a country
Surely it's the legal system that is broken.
Indeed!
Oh, we were broken long before this case!
That is too!
