A female lawyer who blurted out: 'I cannot stand Jewish people' during an office rant has been left with a huge legal bill after a discrimination case was brought against her by a former colleague.
Danielle Morris, 34, was subject of a three-and-a-half year investigation in front of two legal tribunals and almost lost her career after she made the remark during an office conversation.
The mother-of-two complained a Jewish man had jumped the queue at a medical centre while she was waiting to take one of her children to see a doctor.
Later she relayed the incident in the presence of a Jewish cashier at her law practice in Rossendale, Lancashire.

Last night I attended a lecture in which the rabbi spoke about the Ten Commandments. He explained that the third commandment about taking G-d's name in vain included making a chilul Hashem, a desecration of His name.
When someone double parks, cuts in line or jaywalks, people are upset but take it in stride. When a Jewish person commits the same act, people generalize about all Jews. So, before one commits a questionable or controversial action, one should bear in mind the chilul Hashem it can cause.
Speaking about controversial actions, the Dail Mail reports the following:
A German opera has been cancelled amid a storm of criticism after it featured performers dressed in Nazi uniform, a Jewish family being massacred and a brutal rape scene.
Members of the audience began walking out of Burkhard C. Kosminski's interpretation of Wagner's classic 'Tannhaeuser' after only 30 minutes and some required medical attention for 'psychological trauma'.
