Can I refuse to be served by a left handed Muslim Spectre? on the grounds of being unhygienic. Just a thought that's all.
Carry on M8. Been on PM with @Spectre, we almost have the Strangeways extraction device working - just warming the dilithium crystals now. Should be fine by the time you get caught

^^^Full Story ^^^
Marks & Spencer has told Muslim staff they can refuse to serve shoppers buying alcohol or pork, it has been revealed.
The chain has granted checkout workers in more than 700 stores permission to politely decline to serve customers for religious reasons.
Instead, shoppers are being asked to wait to pay for certain items at a different till.

Marks & Sparks apologises after Muslim till girl refuses to sell alcohol to customer
RED-FACED Marks & Spencer has moved quickly to say sorry after a member of staff wrongly refused to sell alcohol because it was against her Muslim beliefs.
It seemed that the company had set a new policy allowing staff to decline to sell pork products or alcohol if it was against their religion.
It came to light at an M&S London store where customers were asked to wait to be served by a non-Muslim member of staff.
But Marks & Spencer has apologised and made clear that where employees have religious beliefs that restrict what foods or drinks they can handle – it tries to move them into a "suitable role".
A spokeswoman said: "We regret that in the case highlighted we were not following our own internal policy."
One outraged customer told the Daily Telegraph: "I had one bottle of champagne and the lady, who was wearing a headscarf, was very apologetic but said she could not serve me.
"She told me to wait until another member of staff was available.

"I was taken aback. I was a bit surprised. I've never come across that before."
Drinking alcohol is forbidden in Islam. Some Muslims refuse to handle it, but not all.
M&S said its policy applied to staff of other religions, not just Islam.
The spokeswoman added: "Where we have an employee whose religious beliefs restrict food or drink they can handle, we work closely with our members of staff to place them in suitable role, such as in our clothing department or bakery in foods.
"As a secular business we have an inclusive policy that welcomes all religious beliefs whether across our customer or employee base.
"This policy has been in place for many years, and when followed correctly, we do not believe that it should compromise our ability to offer the highest level of customer service.
"We apologise that this policy was not followed in the case reported."
Daily Star Online readers condemned the actions of the London store employee.
Kate Ashby said: The fact that Marks And Spencer sells those products is grounds enough for them (the employee) not to even work there based on their beliefs. Or so you would think."
And Darren1 said: I thought this was a joke when I first read it."
The Telegraph also reported that Sainsbury's view is staff who don't drink alcohol or eat pork on religious grounds can still handle them and Tesco said it made "no sense" for staff who refuse to touch items for religious reasons to work on a till.
Muslims working at Asda would not have to work on tills if they objected to handling alcohol and Morrisons would "respect and work around anyone's wishes not to handle specific products for religious or cultural reasons".

What will be next is sorry can't serve you, you are a christian! Just shows, these intentions of the people who make these policys, I'm sorry but if Muslims become a majority, this country will be exactly how tommy robinson has said in the past.
