200 was right!

Equality laws don't work! Taken from this little story; where a tourist attraction wants to hire someone to play a witch.

Note how I said someone, as opposed to a woman.

Due to sexual discrimination law, the job cannot demand that the post is filled by a woman.

Under sexual discrimination law, unless Wookey Hole can provide "documentary proof that the original witch was female it can't issue a gender-specific job description".


Brilliant!

  3. Off topic but a story in the Times about Government negotiating with Libya over the Yvonne Fletcher murder absolutely incensed me. I know serving bobbies cann't make polictical comments, but I wanted as many onliners to see it as possible. Have a look and feel free to comment anonymously on our site if you want or in reply to this thread. I was in the job, on duty on the day, and it sent shockwaves around the country at the time.
