Freedom of speach

What is going on both in this country and in our business, today we commemorate those who fell by the million to protect our freedoms, freedom of thought, freedom of movement and freedom of expression, a group of people have a conversation about their job, in their private time and their company sacks them for holding an opinion and expressing it, what an absolute disgrace and an insult to those who perished protecting us from those who would deny us these freedoms, shame on those people who did this, it had nothing to do with them, if a company cannot tolerate this then it is they who need to get a thicker skin, company image is not everything, what about company ethics and morality, will they be sending people to concentration camps next for looking the wrong way, or daring to speak out against injustices, shame on them. I agree that the people concerned were possibly nieve in writing these things on Facebook were anyone can read it, but surely that is the whole point, they should not have to worry about who reads their opinions, agree or disagree they have a human right to express themselves nieve or not, what sort of company goes around snooping on their own staff, if they have internal channels available no wonder they were not used, as clearly desent is not tolerated. These people should be reinstated with an apology. That is exactly what our grandparents fought and died for, to save us from little Hitlers.

A fantastic quotation.
' It doesnt matter the colour of the car but what goes on beneath the bonnet'
clearly to these people the image is far more important than the sustance,'

I for one will never fly Virgin again on principal.
