Racism in football (John Terry spin-off)

They did.

Turns out there is, but it's on Classic FM so you've never heard about it.

Link?

And if this is the case - for equality sake, it should also be televised.

[Ouroboros]

I think the reason that doesn't happen is because nobody would watch it, rather than any equality-related problem.

You've got the Proms, I suppose. Christmas carols from King's. Do they not work for you?

FWIW, Floyd, I don't like the idea of targets, I don't like the idea of positive discrimination, I don't like the idea that someone has to foot the bill for investigating this and working out what to do about it, and I don't have the first fucking clue what's the best way to go about addressing the problem.

Only difference is that seeing the difficulties doesn't lead me to pretend there isn't a problem.

Will somebody launch an investigation as to why there are no MOWO awards?

Is it cos I is White?

@ using the BBC and Guardian as sources during your undercover investigation into discrimination. If ever two news sources had a barely concealed liberal agenda.

The Guardian piece was about an investigation by the National Centre for Social Research, commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions.

Oh.

Fucking.

Dear.

Remtard: "I demand evidence!!!"
(handed evidence)
Remtard: "No, no no, not this evidence!"

[floyd__streete]

^ interesting passive-aggressive comments above.

Little clue for you.

The Guardian has much a political agenda as the reviled Daily Mail has.

HTFH.

[floyd__streete]

Its ironic actually....while something approaching a civilised debate is breaking out on this thread, EP comes out name-calling because he disagrees with me. His use of the charming phrase Remtard towards me is ironic given his own inability to contribute without name-calling.

[Extended-Phenotype]

Don't cry, it was a light-hearted, general reference not particularly aimed at you.

This is though:

when did this epiphany come about, Floyd, you weren't always like this?

at least EP has stayed funny.

I was thinking that, Lux. Me and the old Floyd disagreed on loads of things but he wasn't always this inimical.

HTFH.

Yeah, I know. We all know.

What's the agenda of the Department for Work and Pensions here, then?

Does everybody who presents evidence that you don't like have an agenda?

Do you have an agenda?

Are facts real?

How come Gareth Bale is the only one not talking in his native language in the say no to racism ad?

[P!ssed Off]

How come Gareth Bale is the only one not talking in his native language in the say no to racism ad?

English is his native language. He does not speak Welsh.

[From Despair To Where?]

How come Gareth Bale is the only one not talking in his native language in the say no to racism ad?

For the simple reason that Welsh is an ancient language that pre-dates many of the words relevant to an anti racism debate. HE would just use derivatives of the English equivalent. In other words, If he said it in Welsh, he'd sound like Mike Read singing the UKIP Calypso.

20% target of BME managers by 2020.

Surely it's best man for the job, not colour.

The two things needn't be mutually exclusive. At the moment we have neither because colour is preventing the best person from getting the job in many cases.
