A senior HR adviser sacked by City firm CMS last year for posting anti-Islamic and anti-transgender comments on X is suing it for discrimination on the grounds of belief. Mr Cooper made no reference on X to his work for the law firm, nor on LinkedIn to his political views. Writing on his new crowdfunding page, he said: “CMS sacked me because in their view ‘the posts are highly offensive and discriminatory’ but I believe I was sacked simply for expressing my gender critical and Islam critical beliefs.” “As I say, my Islam critical beliefs are towards the ideology of Islam, not an attack on muslims as individuals. “The views expressed on their personal social media accounts are their own and do not represent those of the firm.
