A disabled grandfather has been sacked by Asda for sharing a Billy Connolly sketch about religion on his Facebook page.
Brian Leach was let go by the supermarket after a colleague complained that the comments in the skit were anti-Islamic.
Following the complaint, he deleted the post from May and wrote an apology to his bosses and colleagues.
But Mr Leach, from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, was fired on Wednesday after five years in the job for breaching the company's social media policy.
Brian Leach shared this photo on Facebook today with the caption: 'Returning my locker key and company discount cards. Thought I would get a photo for the memories. All you had to do was give me a written warning!'
