TUV leader Jim Allister has today written to management in Bombardier Short after an employee was instructed to remove Union Flag dice from his private car.

Commenting Mr Allister said:

“I am stunned to read reports that an employee in Bombardier Shorts was instructed to remove Union Flag dice from his car.

“To suggest that two small dice inside a private car somehow impacted on a neutral working environment is frankly preposterous.

“There are people in Northern Ireland who go out of their way to be offended but this is taking things to a whole new level.

“I have today written to Bombardier asking that they reconsider this daft decision.”
