Thanks to Steve and Ben for these from “Are plans to tackle inequality a step in the right direction?“.
I am sick of this government - absolutely sick of it! They are killing off what little democracy there is left in this country. Why do they insist on consistantly feeding the minorities with these sugary sweets while turning their back on the majority. Surely a company should have a democratic choice to employ someone, which to be perfectly honest 9.9999% of the time is going to be the best person for the job - whether it is experience or qualifications they are looking for!!

I’m convinced. I’ll make sure I employ one “indigenous white” (or whatever the fuck you petulant, self-absorbed cretins call yourselves) for every nine “ethnics”.
SUGARY SWEETS FOR THE ENGLISH!
I was declined for a role because I am the wrong gender/ethnic group - DEFRA. I have been declined for several roles for having to much experience or being over-qualified (ageism) - various. I have been declined for roles because “not quite what we are looking for”. I am a white male in my 40s, unemployed. I weep at night because I do not seem to have a place in society anymore, because I am unacceptable. I am just an example of the outcome of the equalities backlash. Fairness is all I ask.

If you black-up and stick a bone through your nose, I expect they’ll make you head of IT.
