Primary school dinner lady sacked for 'negligence, carelessness or idleness' after she accidentally served gammon to a Muslim pupil

A primary school dinner lady has been sacked for accidentally serving pork to a Muslim pupil.

Alison Waldock, 51, 'forgot' the seven-year-old dietary needs when she asked if the schoolgirl wanted gammon and the youngster said yes.

The school's headteacher spotted the mistake as the youngster was about to tuck into the meat and swept the plate away from her.

The girl's parents were then told how close their daughter had come to eating the meat, which is banned in their religion.

They complained to the school's catering firm and Ms Waldock, a dinner lady for 11 years, was suspended pending an investigation.

In the mean time, serving Michelle 0bama food to unwilling gagging students is perfectly legal.

And yet, the word Christ is verboten!

Christianity, not allowed..., Islam, not only allowed, but championed.

where the heck did the word “gammon” come from?

Was it too hard to say “ham”?

Thank Allah it was “swept away” and the fiendish elderly lady discipinled!! Too bad the guy who does the caning was out sick...

Muzzies are little treasures now. They’re rock stars. Next, they’ll be demanding only green M&M’s, personal assistants and their own personal goat for sex instead of sharing with the other muzzies.

I’m surprised they actually allow it to be served. That’ll now be changing, I’m sure.

On the plus side of this...at least she didn’t have her head chopped off with a dull knife.

British Muslim groups said Ms Waldock's sacking was 'heavy-handed' and an 'overreaction'.

Probably the same Muslim groups responsible for the British being paranoid about Muslims... but they are still right.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage said: 'I feel desperately sorry for her. If she'd served gammon to a vegetarian would she have been fired? I think not.'

I don't think she would have. But Muslims are protected species.
