    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You obviously can't listen. The participating countries will be signing agreements in Morocco. Speaker even quotes criticism of Merkel's immigrants will be outlawed. Or perhaps you know which Countries will be signing up and which won't..

    Perhaps they should achieve there own targets for women, ethnic minorities and under privileged before they start passing such laws... By any test the EU itself is not a equal opportunities employer.. Can't see us leaving now tho...

    Yes, mlud... But don't put the little black cap on yet... Just because I agreed with Tilson's criticism of mentioned situation does not mean I agree with the racial aspects of Tilson's post. Also, as normal on here, folk assume a poster is racist or whatever, because the post contains a racist...

    Totally agree. I said even in our discussion re sexism we were singing from same hymn book. Over years I, ve been unfortunate enough to need 2 complicated and life threatening operations. I, ve been fortunate enough to get them done successfully. The choice of surgeon for me was purely on...

    I, d agree with you but suspect her appointment was directly because of the qualities you dismiss. Would anyone employ Diane Abbot if she were a white male.. Doubtful. Positive discrimination makes matters worse and almost justifies exactly what it sets out to cure.

    And BTW the lady(for want of a better word) in question also employed her son as her assistant after the mentioned drug arrest (his salary of £50k pa paid by us). I wonder what system to ensure meritocracy was used in his appointment. The best person for the job just happens to be her son, but...

    But she is Labour and a socialist Tilston... A)That makes it acceptable. B)She will get support on here. C) She should be posting on here, certain posters would approve.

    Go pro can't be beaten. You can get Hero 1s and 2s cheap now. Quality, robustness and ease of use are all great.

    That's a good one from you but I don't blame you for it being your last comment. You are defending a lost cause and showing your true colours.

    https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/maternity-pay-and-leave#what-is-statutory-maternity-leave Flecc. Maternity leave and pay is in our law. Arguing against it is ridiculous. It's a hard earned right not a benefit at all. Some poorly organised business unable to meet the requirents...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A very odd view for a person who makes out he is both a federalist and socialist. Totally disagree with you flecc. Any firm can cope with granting maternity leave. If they can't they shouldn't be in business, big or small. A person's career spans 35/40 years, having one out for having a child...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So a small firm must discriminate and can't be meritocracy and appoints the wrong person because the structure to cope isn't available to allow a female to have a year out and by the way also not allow the male counterpart to take his paternity leave if so required. You are simply justifying a...

    Not sure about manual lifting work having to be male flecc. That's what fire service told females 25 years ago. If they can do it let them. Fire service now has equal test requirements (hand grip, lifting, fitness, Co ordination.) If females pass... So be it. I know for a fact my daughters are...

    Agree with much of this. But Advertisers unfortunately do not follow, they influence. That's the whole point. But that is another fault of our capitalist society. Advertising for various reasons should be controlled far more. Example quoted is just one of many reasons. And I, m not sure in this...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And how many give up.? Why should females doing same work get on average 28% less pay. It stinks. What you are saying is females actually have to have not only the necessary skills but also extra ones of being able to ignore attitudes such as yours. If you tell a person or a group of people they...

    That's wrong flecc. I know from both my own experiences, those of wife and daughters. Women do face discrimination. Fact. Eldest daughter has faced numerous examples of discrimination in her male doninated career. (fire service) From.. "What's a woman doing in your job" To "A woman can't drive...
