The EU deal

[peteblue]

I mean that's mostly because he said stuff like 'if I become prime minister, I'll let businesses advertise for white only or black only positions'.

Which as far as I know, he still stands by.

I don't know tbh but this came up only the other day in the telegraph......


"The BBC has been criticised for advertising a 12-month trainee scheme for non-white applicants only.

The broadcaster published an advert for two junior script writing roles for the placement, which includes working in London on the popular medical drama Holby City.

However, a number of applicants have voiced their complaints publicly after the Human Resources department rejected their application for the role because it was only open to candidates from “ethnic minority backgrounds”.

Discrimination on any level is despicable......

He also said people should be scared about having Romanians living next door to them

Romanians statistically commit a lot more crime.

If you were a woman would you cross the road on a dark night to avoid a man. You probably would. Is that sexist. Yes. Is it common sense. Yes.

So do plenty of progressives want the ability to include race as a factor in the recruitment process.

Libertarians want you to be able to do what you want free from government control which means you in theory could do that if you wish.

Again would you call either of these groups racists.

Personally I am against the discrimination laws changing. Frankly I wouldn't trust what in today's world they would change to. It certainly wouldn't favor whites.

Wowsers. Why on earth should it? Beyond parody.

Wowsers. Why on earth should it?

It shouldn't. The point I was making was that it doesn't favor anyone because it's anti-discrimination however there's the whole idea of privilege going through academic thinking that is starting to creep out into the real world which basically advocates for positive discrimination against whites.

If the law were to change away from a neutral position then it would reflect this thinking and only move to favor those in minorities and allow discrimination against whites.

Are people actually holding up UKIP and Farage as the way forward here?

 

[peteblue]

And the thread has been hi-jacked again.......

No, someone just asked a question about how history would see him.......

Ill see him and his party for what they are,hate mongers

Not really. These same academics are the ones in control of the EU. The ones who are drafting the employment regulations. The ones we have no control over.

In fact when I think about it. It should be a huge part of the discussion but even Farage probably doesn't want to go there.

I think the Remain camp's mantra of if you vote Leave you must be a UKIP racist is wearing thin and has, to a degree, back fired on them.

There are many valid Marxist/socialist reasons for voting out with plenty of examples given in this thread.

Leaving the EU will make hiring suitable candidates for job vacancies from Non-EU nations easier. The opposite if racism in fact.

Bookies still have remain as odds on favourite......

How do you think age/demographs are going to play a part in it then Pete?

 

[Clint Planet]

People should vote on the issues not the personalities. I think Corbyn is a melt.....

Sigh. Surely, Corbyn is all about the issues. He's an honest politician in a dishonest business. I can't understand how anyone can't see that.

Boris portrays the image of a bumbling buffoon but did some really good things for London.

He's a proven liar, mate. And the only reason he's pro-Brexit is because it's his best opportunity to become, God forbid, Prime Minister. I didn't see him do much good for London, either. Wasted a lot of money on those modern Routemasters and then started moonlighting as an MP towards the end of his tenure, neglecting his duties. No thanks.

Older generation out. Southeast out. London massively in.

Difficult to tell though, a couple of my mates are married to 'immigrants' and their wives are voting out. Mixed bag.
