Anti-Christian bias is rife in Employment Tribunals
by Tim Dieppe, Artillery Row:
If you’re Christian, you can no longer count on a fair hearing in workplace disputes.
This week a member of the employment tribunal panel was formally rebuked for making anti-Christian comments resulting in a whole panel being recused from hearing the case of a Christian teacher. Mr Jed Purkis is a non-legal member of the Employment Tribunal in Nottingham. He describes himself as a lifelong socialist and trade unionist.
Mr Purkis’s Posts
Mr Purkis has now made his posts private, but earlier this year, while he was participating in controversial Employment Tribunal cases, they were public.
Mr Purkis replied to a post on X last year which said:
“Only atheists should be allowed to run for office.”
Purkis replied:
“Damm right, you won’t catch us killing in the name of our non-god.”
Here Purkis appears to support banning members of any religion from running for office. He certainly displays bias against people who believe in God.
Another time, Pukis got involved in a discussion about whether wokeness is worse than atheism or Christianity. An atheist posted:
“As an atheist, I find Christians worse than woke. Why? The woke believes in truth and caring. The Christian, like most religionists, have abandoned the concept of caring, often preach hate and also believe in made-up invisible super-beings.”
To this, Purkis replied:
“It they’re than fucking super how come there’s so much shit going on in the world.”
He then replied to a Christian who had argued that wokeness is worse than atheism, saying:
“Can you be corrected Bill? I need no ‘higher power’ to tell me the right way to treat people and behave. And I don’t need the threat of eternal damnation to make me behave [..] fashion.”
This is obviously anti-Christian bias.
