That's a piss take, isn't it?

Liberals are well-meaning but so misguided.

Syrian doctors should be helping the people of Syria, and especially Syria's children, rather than doing lucrative knee replacements for old gals on the NHS, or fitting gastric bands.

Incidentally, Syrian President Bashar al Assad = fantastic eye surgeon.

You should mix with a more diverse circle of people including those in the medical profession,  and then you will understand why they go to work in different countries. 

In fact if you became a volunteer  you would probably end up being less of a right-wing nut job.

And we'll be able to give the job he's going to steal back to the doctor that we're going to have to repatriate from Australia. Imagine being forced from Australia to Salford, I imagine the doctor you want to repatriate is really going to thank you for that. Where are all the other ex-pats going to work? You will demand that they leave the countries that they've settled in, won't you? You will demand enforced repatriation for Brits as you'd be a ridiculously thick hypocrit if you think we can settle in other countries while denying entry to foreigners like the Syrians and Germans (albeit white ones). Do you think foriegners only come from countries other than engerland?

Thick fucker. I won't moderate my language for a despicable piece of shit either while they continue to put racism. That puts the ball in the site owners' court.

Children,  if you're reading this, remember that racists are usually found at the lower ends of the food chain. They are easily identified by their poorly thought out arguments and grazed knuckles.

BC could have lost some £40 million of funding , hence the EGM in July and where members of the National Council voted in support of adopting a raft of equality and diversity dictats, aka. Code for Sports Governance, that the Commissars at Central Government has said sporting bodies must adopt in order to keep their funding.

... a bit like in the old Soviet Union.

I see. Is there something wrong with equality and diversity?

And the Soviet Union, it imposed equality and diversity on its institutions, did it? I must have failed to notice it all those years.

I actually bother to read what you write because a) the Concorde CX was a nice frame and b) you can string a few sentences together without using the f-word, c-word, etc. ... quite unlike the gaggle of stunted-brained cretins that lurk on this forum.

Equality and diversity is bad in so far as good people get sacked from jobs because they are the wrong sex or the wrong race. I watched a clueless lass on BBC's Final Score football programme the other day talk about Premiership football when she has never played anything remotely like Premiership-level football. Like you might also get a Police Officer who is useless and who has been promoted beyond their level of suitability because some or other Police Service wants to get more women/ethnics into senior positions.

In the early days of the Soviet Union Marxists created Soldiers' Councils to run its military and where everyone was equal, women included.

Ever seen a female refuse collector? Thought not.

So I have I.

I've actually seen two - at different times.

"unlike the gaggle of stunted-brained cretins that lurk on this forum." Wouldn't want to descend to personal abuse, would we? Although despite your high opinion of me, I'm certainly not above it from time to time.

Can you provide any evidence that anyone has been sacked because they were a white man, as a result of policies of the type you mention?

"you might also get a Police Officer who is useless and who has been promoted beyond their level of suitability because some or other Police Service wants to get more women/ethnics into senior positions."

gee, got any evidence other than Dirty Harry?

I've got this one Valerie,

Women account for 51% of the population and 28.2% of the police workforce. But to prove your point they have increased by 0.2% in the last year. In the next 120 years they may indeed gain equality in terms of numbers working for the police.

As for the ethnic minorities, they account for around 13% of the UK population and 5.5% of the police workforce, of those in the police workforce they are twice as likely to hold less prominent positions (support officer etc.).

In short, do you think you're more likely to work for the police as an ethnic minority lady than as a white male or even too white and too male?

If football commentary is a valid analogy, and if the BBC are so-inclined, I've got a valid counter.

Not sure what it might prove, other than to point out the silliness of your confirmation bias.

But step forward Alan 'white, male, one of the best at his previous job, one of the worst at his current' Shearer.

Hired presumably for being in a unique position to offer insight and tactical nous of the top-level game, it quickly became obvious that he offered nothing but obvious platitudes in monotone, which is anything but unique. 10+ years later, he's still doing it.

I hate it when Geordie ex-strikers get the top jobs, just because they're Geordies. And ex-strikers.

Actually in the early days of the Soviet Union they were very big on 'affirmative action' for people of proletarian origins, but on gender, not so much.  Hence they actually threw out most of the women from universities and other institutions because all the women there were bourgeois, and the only working-class people in a position to replace them were almost all male.  One of the perils of thoughtless 'positive discrimination'.

By the way, what the hell is an 'ethnic'?  Do you imagine that only non-white people have an ethnicity?  Do you call women 'genders' and gay people 'sexuals'?

Since July, BC have announced on their news feed four new hires, all being white and male.

Down with you and your fact based response.   Prejudice, ignorance and buffoonery are so much more 2018.

You are misguided in so many ways. 

Another surprise for me is that you think that this Conservative government is in any way interested in increasing opportunity in society.
