I was made aware of the following article in The People where the leader of the opposition has had to give up "Conference Room H" so that Muslim members or those that work in the Houses of Parliament can pray during the month of Ramadhan.
Of course I am sure that it is not as worse a picture as the People paint it as such, and obviously no issue has been made out of it or there would be a Daily Mail campaign by now.
However, what is disappointing to hear is the reaction of the "angered secretaries in the next-door office" proclaiming:
"We work on a lot of confidential material and we don't know who will be going in there."
Surely no matter who works within the confines of the Houses of Parliament, be they Muslim or not, they have all been correctly vetted and passed in terms of security. Therefore no matter if there is a group of Tories holding clandestine secret meetings or a group of Muslims praying they should pose no more of a secutiry risk than one another! If it was good enough for a few Tories then it must be good enough for a few Muslims!
