Wonder how much the insiders are making out of all this stop / start? Like Luttnick's Cantor.

They're an absolute set of c*nts.
I genuinely think you're giving them too much credit. Just morons
They are. To an extent. The people that work for them can be pretty bright though. :-)
Indeed, but they aren't the ones making decisions 😞

They don't need to be. They just need a decent tip off as to what/when. That's how it works...

NHS trusts have been prioritising black and ethnic minority applicants on interview shortlists - in line with NHS England guidance.
Official documents recommend recruiters use the Rooney Rule, a policy from American football saying those of ethnic minorities must be shortlisted for interviews if they apply.
Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust, for example, has said it has used 'positive discrimination' in this way when narrowing down candidates for interview, The Telegraph reports.
The day of reckoning for the anti-white, know all, nimbe, racist liberals can not come soon enough.

How stupid do you have to be to fail to understand positive discrimination is still discrimination? Employment should only be merit based.

I see we're up bright and early, this sunny Monday morning. Full of hope, waiting for the new week to unfold.

How stupid do you have to be, to fail to understand positive discrimination and positive action aren't the same thing at all?

I reckon about as stupid as someone hoping for a guy with a chain saw and nazi salutes to bring on a day of reckoning, whilst we bask in the sunlit uplands of Brexit.

Happy Monday, mate. :-)

Don’t disagree tbh.

But I think with this we need to move away from the hyperbolic reporting to look at what actually has happened.

I think broadly requiring candidates who meet the person spec to make shortlisting is quite different to giving them the job ahead of a ‘white English person’.

The idea comes from the sense that those people are disadvantaged anyway so ensuring they get on a shortlist counteracts that balance. But I don’t think it’s necessary and do think that these sorts of approaches generally don’t help or level playing fields.

I’d prefer completely blind shortlisting.

Agree mate - But I do think we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that discrimination is still illegal any way up.

When the 'lists' are skewed prominently favouring the 'person spec' as is broadly hinted at, then it is nothing short of positive discrimination to ensure quota filling.
I have nothing against companies interviewing suitably qualified job candidates no matter what colour, race or sex, I do object to anything that 'favours' any particular group, that is clear discrimination.

Red 'dead' Ed must have shat himself at his beloved 2tier, Trotsky government buying coking coal to keep those hated steel furnaces going. Damm, his mates in China must have slipped up, still, never mind his other pal Vladimir is still manging to track UK defence force submarines by the trackers placed on those handy pylons out at sea. Keep it up Ed.

This is nonsense! Right wing media drivel.

Steel industries across Europe are working on cutting their emissions. And we are completely exposed to global gas prices which is why our energy prices are so high - nothing to do with net zero.

^^ Yup. I can pretty much guarantee that at the same time as my FB gets reposts of something like the "shortlist drama," we're not far off a Hobes post on the topic.

As to the tracking from "handy pylons," 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's great win for offshore wind. Provides energy and can be used for covert surveillance device tracking! Get building more of them.

They ARE Tracking to track movements of UK submarines via devices on the sea windmills, it's no secret.

As for BWFCi, nothing to do with net Zero :hang: Where the hell does he think that additions to our bills comes from? And global gas bills has feck all to do with coal, 80 million tons of which we are sat on and net zero stopped the coke mine in Cumbria from opening, the one that could have supported Scunthorpe steel furness

As I’ve explained our bills are much higher due to an over reliance on imported gas coupled with marginal pricing (look it up). Net zero levies barely make an impact.

You also realise that the coal that would have been mined in Cumbria couldn’t have been used in the blast furnace in Scunthorpe as it was the wrong grade of coal with too high a sulfur content so not suitable. That coal would have been mined and exported.

Given the use of capital in "ARE," you should be able to link your source of facts? What is it? Very specifically, the official source that devices have been found on turbines. I know they don't count for much these days and I wouldn't be shocked if it was cited with supported data, just I can't find it.

Where are all the Oil n Gas subsidies and corporation tax reductions listed on your petrol bill? That'd be nowhere...

I see the cheerleaders on here hero 2tier, five days later, still cannot get his head around and admit what a woman is despite judgement passed by his buddies.
Or, could that be due to the uproar it seems to be causing with a certain bunch of predictables within his party? Those who hid their true views from the electorate like the false manifesto merchants.
