I’ve had a (another) great idea for “Dragon’s Den”

It needs a bit of explaining though....

Like many other companies who want to appear to have embraced multiculturalism without actually bothering, the company I work for have provided Muslim colleagues who wish to observe their right to prayer with somewhat substandard accommodation.

So far they have been given (at various points) a leaky shed, an old shower room, a disused goods lift and a second hand tent in the car park to use for religious purposes.

As you can probably appreciate, most of them have said “Fuck this” and they head for the nearest mosque at lunchtimes, thus sacrificing their lunch breaks.

There must be any number of companies with the same problems-how to appear to be taking into account other cultures and systems of belief whilst simultaneously not really giving a flying fuck.

The solution is “inflatable mosques” (much like bouncy castles, but more Arabic looking) that can be deflated and stored when not needed. Plus, you can charge people a pound to jump around on them as well. Even that cunt Peter Jones would jump at the chance to invest in that….
