Election Year or Fear!

Swale "Well the Lincolnshire mayor is gormless, talentless, opportunistic self serving idiot"

I'm sure he speaks highly of you too

As Ra has said, he is a she and I suggest you look at her acceptance speech, comments she has made in the past, her behaviour in the past and then question my description of her.

Still its entirely possible you think Truss was a genius and Johnson isn't a bumbling, lying adulterous ****.

Yusuf says hiring should be 'colour blind' and best person for the job.

I 100% agree, and I'm no fan of quotas. There does need to be policies in place though and employers held to account if people are overlooked because of their nationality, colour of their skin, religion, disabilities etc etc

Much as many would like to believe discrimination won't happen, it 100% does and removing protection potentially will only make this worse.

Strip away those protections and employers may see it as consent to pass on the best candidate who just happens to have a medical condition through fear they might require adjustments in the work place.

Interestingly I entirely agree that recruitment should be colour blind (and gender bling, ***ualty blind etc) but I will never hire anyone with a visible tattoo. Is this discriminatory?

Not illegal to discriminate against (or for) people with tattoos unless they are linked to culture, religion or ethnicity. Likewise my pet hate, multicoloured hair.

No if the company or you have a specific policy which states as such and there are valid reasons for it. SO if your hiring someone in a public facing position for instance you may well be within your rights, a fork lift driver not so much.

Though frankly if you are only going to have an issue if you make it clear the reason your not hiring them is down to their tattoos and I'm assuming you would be more subtle than that.

Only if you demonstrably show preference to hire people with invisible tattoos.

‘I didn’t raise it, I mentioned it.’ World of difference. LOL

"raise" is not typically considered an antonym for "mention." While they can be used in similar contexts, "raise" is more about bringing something to light or addressing it, whereas "mention" is about a passing reference or acknowledgment

You were clearly a metalwork teacher or similar

Both tiresome and completely incorrect. Well done. Also a little disrespectful to ‘metalwork teachers or similar’.
Still, at least I seem to have mastered full stops and capital letters.

You also don't condone the "right sort of bullying" either!

Very Serious Election Fraud Attempt Tonight In Rochdale!
Chaos tonight in the Kirkholt & Balderstone by-election count as Billy Howarth (Independent) caught the election staff putting several of his bundles of votes in the wrong pile- ‘the Labour Party tally box’
One hundred of Independent William Howarth's votes (4x 25 bundles) were fiddled into the Labour Party pile in desperation by Rochdale Council's election counting staff (pictured) as Reform looked set to win, also fifty Conservative votes (2x 25 bundles) were also placed into the labour party box, That's no mistake!!! The two individuals on the left looked to be responsible for filling up the tally boxes.
This was witnessed by many of the candidates, current councillors, election agents and observers- myself being one. Chaos erupted- the police moved in, votes were sheepishly put into the right places and Reform were declared the winners.
how many more elections have been rigged this way in Rochdale and beyond? Labour would have won fraudulently if this was not spotted last night. Ever wondered why an election count sometimes seems to take an unexpected turn towards the end? this is how they do it.
Complaints have been made to the Police and Electoral Commission.

The woman doing the counting was a well known Labour activist.
Tip of the iceberg with this lot. Postal vote cheating is bad enough
