A devout Christian social worker is suing an NHS-backed care firm which rescinded his £25,000-a-year job offer because of his views on homosexuality.

Felix Ngole, 46, was thrown off a social worker training course at Sheffield University following his Facebook post which quoted passages from the Bible about same-sex marriage.

But in a major victory for free speech, he was allowed to return to his training when the Court of Appeal ruled in 2019 that Mr Ngole would 'never discriminate against anyone' because of his personal views.

The father-of-three will launch legal action against Touchstone Support this week after claiming he was denied his dream job because of his strong Christian beliefs, The Telegraph reports.

Mr Ngole had initially been offered the role as a mental health support worker in 2022 after performing well at the interview, but the offer was rescinded weeks later when the firm discovered he had been involved in a previous landmark free speech case. DM.
