If you don't fit the criteria, will one find it difficult to get a job?

Well this just about says it all, I don't know why the Tories didn't join up with Labour, the are much the same party.

I refer of course to the green light given to Harriet Harman's equality law.

Now it appears firms will be free to choose women, ethnic minorities, gay and transgender people.or disabled people ahead of equally qualified white male, able-bodied applicants without the risk of being sued.

I think this reader's letter isn't too far wrong,

/// I take it the legislation will apply to Indian restaurants, Chinese take aways, and even the ECHR? How about the Olympic project which employs 85% foreign workers? No I'm being silly - it is only designed to crush white English males.///

I wonder if I applied for a job in my local Indian restaurant I would get a job !

Heaven forbid if a WOMAN applied !

Has anyone ever seen a woman working in an Indian restraurant?

Lets sort out this problem of male chauvinism amongst the ethnic majorities while we are at it. They still seem to think it is the middle ages.

"Has anyone ever seen a woman working in an Indian restraurant?"
What an odd question.
As it happens, two women work full time in my favourite Indian restaurant and have done for as long as I can remember.
Incidentally, is that Coniston Water in your avatar ?

Marvellous.

We should keep it like this for a couple of hundred years and see how *you* like it...

I notice that Harriat Harman did not apply for the Labour leadership where her views would more likely to recieve ridicult. Instead her sniping behind the leader shows she has neither the courage or ability to tackle Britain's real problems.

If you can't beat 'em AOG, join 'em. I think you would suit a pair of 34Bs.

Excellent news.

Perhaps with a few more gays, ethic minority, lesbians, women and disabled people rising up the corporate ladder we can get the country sorted out from the mess that white straight males have left it in...


...illegal wars, economic melt down, political corruption...and look who's responsible - white straight males

Time to retire the old guard. Get some women and gays into the top jobs (but not Harriet - she's a moron).

Yes actually there are usually women employed in indian restaurants, certianly most of the ones I've ever been to - and really do you think this will crush white middle class males? Come on get real.

Well here we have it from the once closeted racist, who now appears to have "come out" with these racist, and "anti-heterosexual" views. ( I was looking for the opposite to "Homophobic")

I will archive these remarks until such time that I find some anti black gay remarks to make, and then bring them out in my defence, when I get the usual blastings.
