Christian Crucifix Case Not Worth Enormous Legal Fees, Lawyer Warns

http://www.personneltoday.com/articles/2010/01/19/53745/ba-christian-crucifix-case-not-worth-enormous-legal-fees-lawyer-warns.html

Darren Sherborne, head of employment and partner at Rickerbys law firm, told Personnel Today the case - whereby devout Christian Nadia Eweida is claiming BA discriminated against her when she refused to remove her cross necklace at work - highlights employers' ability to "lose track of what's important." Absolutely right, BA were completely idiotic to try and stop her wearing it in the first place. But Ms Ewida is now being equally stubborn, pursuing her Employment Tribunal for religious discrimination in the Court of Appeal today. It's about time she stopped this legal gravy train and let it go; after all, she's had huge public and political support, was reinstated at work, saw BA change their policy, and has been wearing her Christian badge for three years now.

But I can't let this one go - please, headline writers, it's a CROSS, not a CRUCIFIX!! There is a difference...!
