A COLANDER-WEARING musician has accused the DVLA of discrimination after a driving licence photo of him wearing religious headgear was rejected.

Ian Harris has mounted a third appeal against the government body after it refused to accept the picture of him wearing the bowl-shaped utensil when he renewed his licence.

The 51-year-old from Hove belongs to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster – also known as Pastafarianism – which sees colanders as sacred headgear.
