I wonder if they'd refuse Ahmed The Islamic a Job Interview?

This afternoon I see that the ranks of the Carmarthenshire unemployed remain unnecessarily inflated through the employment policies of a barking mad car hire company.
Over here you can read how Enterprise Rent A Car refused 61 year old former Chief Inspector Keith Harber a job interview on the grounds that he sported a beard.
It seems the former Royal Protection Officer - who got no complaints from Her Majesty or the rest of "The Firm" during the portion of the 30 years that he has sported a hairy chin and spent working for her - applied for the "job" of "car washer and occasional driver".
In a telephone conversation he was asked if he had any tattoos, piercings or similar, and then was also asked if he had any facial hair.
Replying that he had, he was asked if he would shave it off, and when he said he would not, he was told he would not be called to interview as the company had a policy of not employing bearded men.
I bet that will go down a bundle with Ahmed The Islamist.
