You're asking the wrong person. I just provided a link to the fuller story. (8+) Mark

It was a rhetorical question aimed at the readers of the thread.

But that is not the Armies fault that her relative was not allowed into the country?

Not every white woman has family nearby. So why is she special (she's black female and can therefore get away with it). What about someone with no family, or someone who is posted far from their family within the UK? Is she merely money-grabbing whilst f*cking with UK immigration laws?

I hope this gets thrown out. I agree she should be allowed to care for her child as everyone is entitiled to (emergency dependants leave) but she absolutely has no case to say she is discriminated as her sister cannot enter the county to look after her child. If she lives in the UK then like the rest of us without family closeby she needs to pay for a nanny or a nursery.

But surely, since it's a requirement that she be available at any time, she was not suitable for the job, and so it wouldn't be discrimination. It'd just be somewhere who was unsuitable. It seems the army offerred her another job, and she had all the welfare benefits offerred to everyone else, but it was her insistance that either her or her half-sister look after her child that caused her to choose not to attend work. In my eyes it seems the MoD/Army did everything responsibly, given what's been reported in the linked articles.

when you join the forces you sign up to serve God, Queen and Country nothing else counts
you either live with it or leave the forces, end of transmission …

I havent read every report but as I read it, she cannot meet the expectations presented to her by her employer, is offered another job that suits her position, leaves the army. Ok she tried to get a family member through immigration to care for her child, but it was a half sister and they deemed the sister not suitable for a visa.
If you make a commitment to work then work as requested, if not then bugger off.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
