It always makes me laugh when I read stories about public sector job applicants, where people have said you have to be a disabled, transgender, lesbian Muslim to stand a change of getting in. It’s one of those stories that’s so absurd, it’s probably true.
They call it positive discrimination but it’s a bit of a contradiction in terms, isn’t it? On the one hand you’re discriminating in favour of a group of people and on the other hand you’re discriminating against everyone else.
In the Queen’s Speech, Gordon Brown announced measures that on one hand force companies with more than 250 employees to conduct gender pay audits to flag any sex discrimination, yet on the other hand permit companies to favour women, black people and Asian people over white males.
It’s ridiculous. You can discriminate when employing but you can’t discriminate on salary? You can really say to someone that you’re sorry but they didn’t get the job because the other candidate was Asian? Imagine the uproar if that was the other way round!
These positive discrimination policies create social divides. They define differences and enforce them. You see, whilst the Government pushes this positive discrimination to fill the public sector with minorities, it creates resent from Average White Man outside the workplace.
Policies like this play into the BNP’s hands. Indeed some BNP rhetoric is available on their web site and I agree with every word.
Fortunately, the Equality Bill is just a bill and not implemented into law yet. The trouble is, it was almost unanimously voted for by MPs so the Conservatives or whomever else gets in will implement it.
Its another reason why I will be voting BNP, indefinitely.
10 years ago I would have scorned the BNP as fascists, rascists etc, but after all these years of PC and Zanulabour, I praise the BNP and will vote for them.
Now whose fault is that?
Funny how times change,
It’s got through the House of Commons already though. Not even Peter Tatchell’s happy because apparently it doesn’t protect people due to their sexuality. Just who is this bill pleasing? Presumably non-white women incapable of getting a job on merit?
Its obscene but the so called conservatives are backing it, any true conservative must surely be horrified at Clot Camron and his plastic conservatives, so be it, more votes for the BNP.
Tony Blair lied over the reasons for the Iraq War, Labour Party Defence Minister Bob Ainsworth told a public meeting at Aldermoor Farm Primary School in Coventry last night.
Mr Ainsworth made the startling confession after being confronted at the meeting by BNP official and Coventry North East parliamentary candidate, Tom Gower.
Mr Gower used the public meeting to ask Mr Ainsworth, who became Secretary of State for Defence in June this year, “Now that it has been proven that there were never any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, do you accept that you and the whole of your wretched party are nothing but war criminals and have the blood of hundreds of British soldiers on your hands?”
Mr Ainsworth, clearly taken aback at the question, then told the public gathering that the reason why his party sent so many British soldiers to their deaths was because they were “fed lies by Tony Blair.”
Mr Ainsworth’s remarks will come as a huge embarrassment for the Labour Party, which has so far stuck by Mr Blair and even tried to get him elected as president of the European Union.
The public accusation by a cabinet minister that Mr Blair lied to the country and the world over the reasons for the Iraq war will no doubt cause more than a ripple through the labour Party and could even impact upon Mr Ainsworth’s future career.
The visibly shocked audience were then further amazed when Mr Ainsworth pleaded innocence by claiming that he did not know the truth because he “is an ordinary man from a council estate in Coventry. I don’t sit in ivory towers,” Mr Ainsworth said, adding that he was “sorry” about the deaths of the British soldiers in that illegal war.
Mr Gower said even he, as a firm opponent of the Labour Party and their illegal war, was taken aback at Mr Ainsworth’s remarks. “Why on earth do we have this man as our Defence Secretary?” Mr Gower asked.
“This is a man who uses his council estate roots as an excuse to send hundreds of soldiers to their deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. To make matters worse, when I pressed him about defence cuts, Mr Ainsworth completely ignored the issue and just went on with the next question.”
* Mr Gower also asked Mr Ainsworth if he thought it was “fair that we’re being dictated to by unelected bureaucrats” in Brussels. Mr Ainsworth replied that he fully supported the EU and claimed that Britain could not survive without it.
Mr Gower also grilled Mr Ainsworth on the issue of uncontrolled immigration. “How do you feel about the projections that the population of Britain is set to reach 70 million by the year 2030? Do you think this is ludicrous considering Britain is the third most overpopulated country in the world and the most overcrowded country in Europe?” he asked.
At this point Mr Gower got cheers of support from the audience. Embarrassed and clearly shaken by these projections, Mr Ainsworth stated he was happy that the population is growing, provided living conditions remain the same and that he has met many immigrants who are from war-torn countries who would rather set fire to themselves then go back to their homelands.
Mr Gower then asked, “Surely all the different countries they’ve come through to get to Britain are safe enough. Will you admit these people are only coming here to take advantage of soft touch Britain, with our free NHS and liberal benefits systems?”
Mr Ainsworth replied that he was so proud that these people are coming to Britain and refused to discuss the matter any further.

‘Positive’ discrimination should be made illegal as should use of that term, all discrimination is discrimination, there is no such thing as ‘positive’ discrimination. I am a white british heterosexual male and I think it is racist to award a job to someone of a different ethnicity just because they are more politically correct than me. If they were the superior candidate for the job then fair enough, that’s fine. But jobs should not be awarded on the basis of skin colour, sexuality and gender. Its like in the Fire Service they keep saying ‘We don’t have enough of x group’ maybe because they don’t want to be firefighters, why can’t they accept that. This is nothing but racism by Labour and should not be accepted.
Well said TB, BNP 2010!
