A partner at Clarke Willmott has tweeted that it might be time for "dedicated Islamic airports and airlines so the rest of us can carry as much water as we like".

Jamie Foster's remarks, made from his personal account, were in response to the disappearance of the Malaysian airliner. When they attracted the inevitable criticism, an unrepentant Foster replied "remember noticing Islamists are responsible for bombing airlines is 'casual Islamophobia' but believing all slave owners were white is fine". Remarks of such insight they might have been made by Wittgenstein.

Foster has announced that he is now leaving the firm, although apparently his resignation pre-dates his tweets. So the firm - which is already in enough trouble with poor figures, staff who hate working there and a decimated grad rec programme - has been spared the further problem of working out what to do with him.

    Doctor Foster went to Gloucester and found Islamists a pain.

He behaved like a fool, had to resign and never was heard of again.*


A spokesman said that Foster’s comments "in no way reflect the views of Clarke Willmott LLP. We are a diverse business and we do not support such views. Clarke Willmott LLP confirms that prior to his tweet Mr Foster had already provided his notice which has been accepted and he will be leaving the firm in due course."

A lot of people would agree with him. But, of course, they're not entitled to that point of view and it must mean that they're horrid, Hitler loving monsters, mustn't it?

Can we also have a separate airline for chubsters, so that I don't have to share an aisle with Foster and his ilk?

What a storm in a tea cup. I would certainly abolish the liquid rule. I would rather risk more Islamic or any other bombing.
