    Are we really at the stage where the white British man/woman is now excluded from getting a job?

    Aye
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      And under these circumstances, probably:

      PATH - Positive Action Training

      + WORKING TOWARDS A MORE REPRESENTATIVE WORKFORCE IN YORKSHIRE

      PATH Yorkshire supports employers across the region to turn diversity policy into practice through Positive Action Training programmes.

      PATH is a Positive Action Training organisation set up under Section 37 & 38 of the Race Relations Act to provide training opportunities to Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) people from across Yorkshire.
      Positive Action is defined as ‘Measures that can be taken to meet special needs, to train or encourage people from a certain racial group that is under-represented in particular work’ Section 37 & 38 of the Race Relations Act
      But at least positive discrimination (hah!) has now mostly stopped in the public sector.

      Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

            I wasn't put forward for a role because I don't speak Welsh.
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    In the early Eighties somebody produced a ROM for the BBC Micro which contained BBC BASIC with all the keywords translated into Welsh, for use in Welsh schools
