Opinions please, I am interested.
I have heard today on the BBC (UK) that due to a complaint from a Muslim traffic warden, the crown from the top of the Metropolitan Police Service (London, England) badge will be removed for those who object to wearing a cross (the crown has a tiny, tiny cross on the top of it)
This badge, with the exception of the centre cypher (E II R for the current Queen, G VI R for the last King etc) has been pretty much unchanged in 200 years.
Is this political correctness gone too far or is this a fair request.
On a personal note, I can't say that I would get really worked up and resign from my job if something I wore had a crescent etc on it.
Are we selling 200 years of heritage down the river or keeping up with the times?
