Reform Policies

[ellal]

not true, see:

Equal Pay Act 1970,
Sex Discrimination Act 1975,
Race Relations Act 1976,
Disability Discrimination Act 1995,
Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003,
Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003
Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006.

The Equality Act 2010 consolidated over 116 pieces of legislation - including the Equal Pay Act 1970, Sex Discrimination Act 1975, Race Relations Act 1976, and Disability Discrimination Act 1995

But garbage and deform want to get rid of the Equality Act

Edit: And also included...

the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003
the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003
the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006
the Equality Act 2006, Part 2
the Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2007

what is your point?

 

[motorbiking]

As far as I know, they no longer exist, as they are all consolidated into the Equality Act.

But I haven't actually checked yet!

I think its reasonable to expect a replacement of rights.

If the Equality Act goes, so do all of those

That doesn't get headlines, though. The only policy Reform have announced is getting rid of the whole lot.

Looking just at race discrimination. Which bits would you keep and which would you get rid of.

'reasonable to expect'?

If that's how you think, then you truly have problem!

Pretty much all of them. Do you think an independent judiciary (sorry, enemies of the people) would allow a Council to refuse planning permission on the grounds the applicant was Musslim? Or allow planning permission because the applicant had made a major donation to re form uk?

I haven't given it much thought.

But I would like to see so called "positive action" addressed. It should not be lawful to promote, filter or otherwise prioritise applications from minority groups in order to increase diversity.

It's as "racist" as your sign. It creates resentment and allegations of "he's the token XXX". Everything should be merit based.

No, it's not. That is some strange false equivalency.

The thing is though, whilst 'positive action' I can agree gives the perception of positive discrimination, the later is illegal when hiring or promoting.

The lines have become blurred, but if the Equality Act was removed we return to the bad old days when it was perfectly legal for example not to hire a person simply because they were black.
