Because a black man said it was racist of a white employee to jokingly ask if he put polish on his legs, Lambeth Council had to pay the white employee they sacked £40K for wrongfully dismissing him for "gross misconduct".
£40K of taxpayers' money, folks. More if you include the legal fees Lambeth must have paid to defend the case.
It would be a rather good story if it were to be discovered later that the white and black employee were in cahoots with each other in a conspiracy to divvy up the £40K between themselves ....
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
