I'd be surprised if Ron didn't want to wash his hands after he'd shaken hands with anybody. Many people are that way, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the race of the other person.

As for the terrible faux pas of offering a drink to someone from the "Middle East", IINM there are millions of such people who drink alcohol, as they are not Muslim.

I don't know the details of this young man's situation, but oftentimes a person is sacked because he's not doing his job well enough.

What a ridiculously weak story, and claim, from the guy!

"Demanding grand prix boss is expecting 100% from me". Urmmm, yeah?

It's a shame it's got column inches.

Another jealous tt trying to get money for nothing. If I were in McLaren's management, I would hire a firing sqaud for the tribunal. I hate it when people try to take away what others have worked so hard to achieve. And if Ron called him fat, so what? He's only telling it like it is, which I always have respect for. I would rather someone tell it like it is than dress it up in bullst.

And on the washing hands thing, that's just general hygeine. Perhaps he needed to use the khazi?

Most of the accusations are too extreme and unrealistic considering his business partnerships. Although, it's not difficult to believe that Ron said something indelicate, rude, or impish, was unrelentingly cold, or engaged in the overbearing gestures of a bully.

He obviously thinks he can get some quick money by making noise.

'The engineering graduate claimed that he had been expected to be on call at all hours, all year round and to cater to passengers' every whim'.

He's done well in his chosen career path!!!!!

'He claims that after two male colleagues made an unwanted pass at him, news of the proposition reached Mr Dennis, and that led to his dismissal from his £32,000-a-year post at McLaren company Absolute Taste'.

£32k a year for being a waitress/engineer doesn't seem bad money!!!!!

The gay accusation and the sacking are obviously connected as the two incidents were, according to the reports, just 741 days apart.

Unfortunately, due to the overly PC orientated society that Zanu Labia has created, this sort of thing seems to be a daily occurrence.

The floodgates have opened!

I'm off to get a tan, therefore I should be able to make ridiculous claims and tag the old race card in!

I agree. I know someone who was quite OCD, who had to wash his hands before having a wk if he'd been shaking hands with anyone
