When it comes to hiring staff, there are plenty of legal pitfalls employers need to watch out for these days. So recruitment agency boss Nicole Mamo was especially careful to ensure her advert for hospital workers did not offend on grounds of race, age o

    WTF is going on in England???? Every week something happens that just seems incredible. Are they going to force employers to hire unreliable people or else face discrimination lawsuits? May I suggest the people who make those laws be the ones to hire only unrelibale people to work for them, go to unreliable mechanics. Better yet they should go only to lousy dentists and doctors too so they don't discriminate against people who just plain suck at their job.

    I guess these people are looking out for their own because if they are advancing policies like this then its clear they completely suck at their job!

    Can't. Then they'd sue you for being discriminatory. Employers need to work within the law and simply be "unreliable" with their paychecks!

    nothing more basic than the need for an employee to show up to work when required. granted, I appreciate a little understanding to account for unexpected traffic problems.

    too many years of a Labor government that has gone

    absolutely PC crazy.


    too many years of letting minority groups yell and scream

    and putting their agenda at the top of the list,

    while the rest of the country withers.


    unrestricted immigration.


    the complete rush to the bottom where schools don't matter,

    grades don't matter, and to make sure no one gets offended,

    speaking English doesn't matter either.


    radicalized people running free in the country, and a government

    unwilling to do anything about it.

    generations of young girls getting pregnant at 15,

    and everyone rushing around giving them money and telling them its ok...


    The palpable fear of people who might stand up to this nonsense,

    but who don't in fear of being jumped on and called

    racist, discriminatory, or worse yet, Conservatives.

    When she ran the ad past a job centre, she was told she couldn't ask for 'reliable' and 'hard-working' applicants because it could be offensive to unreliable people.


    Right out of a Monty Python skit - except back then the Brits thought it was satire.

    It's life imitating farce. 8O

    The Equality and Human Rights Commission added: 'This is in no way in breach of any discrimination law.

    'Mrs Mamo should consider very unreliable any advice that she may have received implying that this aspect of her advert was discriminatory.'


    So this isn't a UK policy, it's some individual nutbar at the labor center that decided this. In Canada, now, the Human Rights Commission would probably come down the other way, with some of the Alice in Wonderland rulings they've come out with. They would order the employer to pay damages to all those unreliable workers out there who's feeling were hurt.

    As I have said, the UK at this point would be better off under Shariah Law.

    The worm is turning Bart. I speak to my kin and mates in the UK often. Enoch Powell's vision isn't far off. It has got very unpleasant in the UK and the racists are using any excuse to gain ground over there.
    It's not a good situation and political correctness has just enraged the population.

    It's the Weimar Republic revisited. We all know what happened there.
