The Dewsbury Dalek

Specifically, a reference to Aishah Azmi the muslim school teacher suspended for refusing to remove her veil in front of the children she was teaching. (She later lost her claims of discrimination and harassment).

Female muslims wearing black, burkha style, religious garb, replete with face veil, have a tendency to remind older generations of British people of "Daleks", an arch enemy of Dr. Who, a popular children's science fiction TV programme.

Daleks were short, cylindrical, metal "aliens", who adopted their "costumes" to hide their terrible deformities and allow them to function. Their flesh was not visible, one could only hear their voice emanating from within.
a: I heard the Dewsbury Dalek lost her case of discrimination.

b. Damn right mate, finally the politicians are following the publics lead, even Ken Livingstone spoke out about the muslim women's face veils and their Dalek image.

do the Dalek

To attempt to prevent the contents of your cuppa from leaking by putting two lids on it in a V-formation, resembling the head of a Dalek.
Why do they always have those little pinholes in the coffee cup lids? I always do the Dalek on my cup so it doesn't spill when I take it to work!

dalegiven

A third rate actor who does summer stock past the age of 60. Less notable for his talent than his willingness to work for just under minimum wage. A boozer and a loser, he's been known to piss his pants while getting his ass kicked.
Did you see how old that actor was who was trying to play Tony in "West Side Story"? They must have hired him from the old age home. He had no talent and must have worked cheap.

Yeah, he's a real dalegiven.
