That's racial and religious discrimination and he should sue the council on both counts and for psychological and emotional damage. Strange sort of reverse apartheid being practised in England, and so soon after South Africa overturned theirs. The explanation sounds like a bit of back covering as well.

Do they have Christian only swimming sessions in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia?

Actually they do have Christian only sessions at swimming pools in Saudi Arabia. I am Jewish and me and another Muslim man were turned away from a pool in Jeddah because it had been hired out by a local Christian group. Males and females are always segregated as well.

Well that's Anne told!
