An NHS trust has been sued after it dismissed a hospital electrician for expressing his Christian beliefs.

Brian Walker, 66, was subjected to various complaints at Southmead Hospital after he spoke out about his Biblical views on same-sex marriage. He said he has been treated by NHS bosses like a ‘terrorist’.

Walker said the complaints followed his removal as a Scout youth leader, and subsequent settlement with the Scout Association, after he compared a Muslim leader in a niqab to Star Wars villain, Darth Vader.
