Not really that much different than Gov’t hiring and awards of ‘Scholarships’ here. The wave of the future and it only goes further with time.
Equality of outcome v. Equality of Opportunity is the goal that, once met, will be exceeded.

People who fought for equal rights are turning in their graves. Discrimination and racism are now back again - soon with the support of both law and conscience.

*******If two candidates were equally qualified for a position, employers would be able to reject the white person or the man in favour of a black person or a woman.******
What are the Brits complaining about? Here in America, a minority person whether he is equally qualified or not gets the position before the white person.

If there was such blatant discrimination against natives, the rage over that and the lack of protection against criminals is going to bubble up into a new regime. “Rights for English first. Safety for all.”
This is going to blow up very badly.

Is Barak “Barry” Hussein Osama Obama also running for office in the UK?
It sounds like a plan thought up in that church of his.

You could cut the irony with a knife. I wonder if the government recognizes that?

This kind of thing is no joke--as a white woman whose husband was unable to work for a year-2 kids in HS, one at Univ. I was called to interview for a state job where I was fully qualified and high on the register--93 pts. After being interviewed and chosen by managers twice, I could not be hired until every minority above the grade of 70pts. was hired or turned the job down.
I was so incensed, I called the dept. head at state capitol and told him I could not afford to travel to more job interviews just to be chosen and then rejected by the state authorities.
After I complained, in a short time I was called for a 4 month temporary job at the rank for which I was registered. While in that capacity, I finally got on permanently.That is where I learned to hate the beaurocracy from the inside.
It is darned frustrating to be rolled for a job by a less qualified applicant just because of the color of our skins.

Only to a liberal does discrimination against one group constitute equality.

White men could be legally blocked from getting jobs under new anti-discrimination laws being considered by Labour. Two wrongs do not make a right, except when you're turning left.
