Job interviewer"" do you have a disability? Are you an ethnic minority or LBGTQ?.."""... none of the above....FeK rite off then...loser.

Every programme now seems to go out of its way to make some pc statement of some sort...Countryfile has a bloke in a wheelchair plonked in the middle of a field,,watchdog,one show has the woman in a wheelchair interviewing the disabled,weather is read by the one arm person,move to the country is a gay couple,ffs....has to be a limit to all this positive discrimation sht...By all means if they are the best candidate for the job,,fine,, but stop the constant lecture and rammimg it down out throats.

Perhaps they are the best person for the job, or equally as good as anyone else?
So why not?

Would a 20 stone white straight male be the best person for the job, if they were the only candidate?

You do go from the extreme to the ridiculous.

vindictive, long-term attacks of no benefit

It isn't for me. I object strongly to the allowing of racist comments and terminology, and the allowing of those making such comments to continue without hindrance, but some things needed to be put right.
I assume you're not pleased I'm back. I wonder why.

Starting to become a regular occurrence on here. Just sayin'.

So why not?

bbc is the worst for it , which is why i dont watch bbc.
‘the big question’ and ‘question time’ to name a couple , i’m all for diversity but when you can’t distinguish the country the programme is being filmed in from it’s participants ?
and you have ‘impartial presenters’ deliberately steering the mood and unable to keep their opinions neutral, that’s me out.

 

[crystal ball]

You must have many examples to show us

Fair comment, BUT

...i dont watch bbc...

So one can only assume his opinion is formed elsewhere, like copied someone else's opinion, perhaps?

 

[crystal ball]

I did wonder about that
