asda sackings ?
i have heard [second hand admittedly] that asda [uk] have given questionaires to its employees to fill in, asking do they agree with the uk dropping bombs in Syria. if you said yes and they thought this was the way to go after the recent bombs [so nothing racist I am assured] they have been sacked for racism . it sounds a bit heavy handed and illegal that is why I am unsure if I have heard the full story. anyone heard anything.

That would be illegal. Staff sacked for political reasons could sue ASDA for huge amounts of money.
An employer can sack someone for racist behaviour towards customers or fellow employees. However, if the employer was to send out a questionnaire saying "Do you like black people", they wouldn't be able to sack anyone for answering yes or no.
