Rod Liddle has yet another brilliant piece in the Sunday Times, on this occasion dealing with the Court of Appeal decision that Denbigh High School was at fault in not permitting a young Muslim girl to wear the jilbab.
It's another example of how the Human Rights Act now means that no one can be sure what the law requires of us. We have travelled a long way from John Locke's 'a standing rule to live by'.

Liddle obviously never read the judgement itself, or the Luton Council account of the case.
The real story here is an interpretation of Human Rights which demands lip-service rather than common sense.
