Candidates for elections. It seems that we are now expected to vote for people selected by their parties from female only/black only etc lists. How far do they go with this. LGBTG lists? Left handed lists? I think this cheats the population of the opportunity to select the best candidate.The two main parties here have not fielded a male candidate for 25 years, and all apart from one have been absolute drips
I am sure some of the practices carried out by the company I work for must be illegal in some way or another. For example, if we recommend someone for a job, we get paid a recruitment bounty when they start working for us. The company saves a fortune in agency fess through doing this and no problem so far. The problem a couple of months ago was they were offering to pay double the bounty if the person taken on was female. I am sure this could be construed as discrimination in some way.
I suppose it depends on the industry you work in, as in certain professions they are trying to encourage more females to take it up i.e building trades, or engineering!

Same with them moaning about companies needing an equal amount of females as males.... why?? If it take 12 people to run a company then I don't want the best 6 men and the best 6 women.... I want the best 12 people for the job, be they black, white, gay, straight, piss standing up or sitting down. 'Equality' will be the downfall of the human race if they carry on
The "equal" in equality should mean equal opportunities, not equal numbers.As has already been said, you want the best person for the job regardless of gender, colour, faith, height, weight, etc
AAAAAARGH! When you've got ten minutes to go on ebay and your jackets made £102 plus fifteen quid postage and you realise the buyer is in spain

Sometimes unfortunately the face has to fit.
