Exactly

Richard Littlejohn comments on the latest expression of our societal lunacy: Hiring Jalal Ahmed to work as a baggage handler.

His employers say he has passed all criminal record and security checks and works only parttime and during peak periods, when the airport is busiest. So that's all right, then. Best to avoid Luton at Bank Holidays and half-term, though, just to be on the safe side.

Airport officials insist: 'He would be in a supervised environment at all times.'

Somehow, I doubt that's the kind of 'supervised environment' most of us would like to see him in. That would involve orange jumpsuits, armed guards, razor-wire and large dogs.
