Discrimination

[Peter]

But its OK, its only white males that will suffer, so no problem there.

"Under plans to make workplaces more diverse, Ms Harman wants to allow employers to appoint people specifically because of their race or gender.
The proposals would only apply when choosing between candidates equally qualified for the job.
But it means, for example, women or people from minorities could be hired ahead of others in order to create a more balanced workforce."



So laws designed to outlaw discrimination also bring it in! Welcome to Labours Britain.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of Harriet HarmMan and her NuLabour cohorts, discrimination is only an evil that must be stamped out at all costs if it's practised against "ethnic minorities", "wimmin" or homosexuals.

If it's perpetrated against white heterosexual men on the other hand, it's a noble virtue to be promoted with zest and vigour - and now even enshrined in law.

Make no mistake: HarmMan is a man-hating feminist of the worst kind, and her so-called "equality" agenda isn't about equality at all.

It's not even about creating a level playing field on the employment market.

It's about securing advantages for women over men - and this nonsensical piece of legislation proves it.

Funny that she is "Equality minister "

And then she brings in laws that are UNEQUAL.

I also get annoyed when my library has "Black History Month" and all the books by black authors are displayed on a separate shelf.

I mentioned to the lady in the library that it was racist and she could not understand what I was getting at.

I bet if they tried to have a "White history month" there would be a huge row about that.

Yep, its a great step forward for equality when you make it legal to put on your job advert, "NO WHITE MALES"

I wish Harman would fuck off and stop interfering in peoples lives,if its not this its trying to criminalise blokes who pay for prostitiutes. This woman hates men,and i speak as a labour supporter. I cannot stand the old bag.

Proof please.

[quote]can you imagine if you had a straight carnival what the response from the gay community would be?[/quote]

Yes. Fancy dress and people making a mint on sales of poppers.

[quote]The politicians afraid of upsetting any 'minority' due to the tiptoe around everybody and do do not offend them society we now live in thanks to the pc brigade & just pander to their every whim.[/quote]

Despite half of this sentence not making any sense, I do get the general idea.....I think. I'm a bit confused on a democratic party being scared of a minority though. How's that work when you want a majority to vote for you?

[quote]I am all for women being paid the same as men,[/quote]

You fuckin radical, alice! Whatever next?

[quote]What about the cancer situation as an example of women geting better treatment?[/quote]

I'm sorry....what? Are you saying that if a couple both get bowel cancer, the hospital will purposely give the wife 'better' (whatever that means) treatment than the husband?

[quote]yet until the last couple of years male cancer has all but been ignored and only now is it getting more publicity due to pressure groups[/quote]

Male cancer? WTF is male cancer...or female cancer?

[quote]otherwise it would still be ignored by the government,[/quote]

Pure speculation and guesses on your part. You cannot know.

[quote]why do we still have women only cancer charity runs with huge media coverage, full government and celebrity backing etc,[/quote]

Because women are generally more aware, and interested in all medical ailments compared to blokes. Women are more social, organised and vocal compared to blokes.....in general. It was the women themselves that fought for more awareness and media coverage. It's not governments and media groups ignoring men ffs!

Get a group of mates together and start a 'testicular cancer awareness group', or join an existing one. Help print and distribute flyers if you're that bothered. Spend time accumulating money and spend it on media campaigns.....get involved, alice.

How many times does a white guy lose out on a job before he becomes the victim of pro-discrimination????
and can then take legal action????

British Airways don't need any more pooftas for their cabin staff - they're already (b)rimming over in that department.
