actually i think the point he was making was that the OP demonstrated his own prejudices against the groups the Equalities Act aims to protect - therefore showing that the jobs are actually needed.Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0 -
The problem here is that it is the legislation that is unnecessary. I have no issue with the workings of the role per se, but why should the government spend money on implementing this less than essential legislation when much more important jobs are being eliminated? It proves that the current government is no less barmy than Labour.0

If the roles are justifiable because they represent minority groups that people have a problem with, should we also have roles to ensure fair and equal treatment to bankers also?0 -
