Equality minister Harriet Harman has set out plans to allow firms to discriminate in favour of female and ethnic minority job candidates. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7474801.stm
So the question has to be is this fair? There is no question that at the moment that women and ethnic minorities are treated unfairly and discriminated against in some workplaces, but surely the answer is to audit employers and tackle those offenders. If a white male is the best person for the job surely he should be given the job on his merit.
Weather: Today mainly rainy, overcast and windy. Yesterday 50/50 overcast & sunny.
