And by the way you already had your chance to debate with me on that topic. Instead you come snivelling round the back door making unfounded assertions.

You don’t expect people to just ignore your sweeping generalisations do you? Is it ok to post what you do as a bastion of employment?

So are you saying that racial mix shouldn't play a part in who is employed but only someone's meritocratic ability to do the job?

This is THE site for people with a vague connection to Palace, a huge throbbing vein in their forehead and pent up bitterness, fear and hatred. Natural followers of conspiracy theories and natural haters of anything ‘other’. Posts that rock their world view will be met with a ferociousness only matched by a blinding propensity to inaction.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

No. I never said that. Carry on inventing nonsense

Perhaps I am being a little unfair, what you actually said is that where things are equal (which they never are), you would employ a minority over a white person. Therefore you automatically take a bias into the interview room.

From what I've seen with this coming up several times it was actually Dan that said this. It's possible you might be misattributing..

If people wish to debate the point they should return to the original post I made.

Otherwise they are simply yapping dogs.

What have I invented? I asked a question dimmy.

So you disagree with DanH on employment at least.

Fair enough.

No, you made an assertion. Dimmy.

A question mark at the end of a sentence is...well a question. I enabled you to agree or disagree with the assertion.

I did not assume your answer.

Dimmy.

No, an assertion with a question mark is simply poor writing. Dimmy

It’s also not what I said. Another thing that’s been twisted out of all sense of reality like so many things on here.

Oh the irony of a leftist complaining that their words have been twisted.

The regularly contributing left on Hol....with a few honourable exceptions are now either trolls sniping with child like comments (which I kind of have no problem with) or bare faced liars....dancing around on pins as if no one can notice. (which I do have an issue with)

It gets a bit pointless once you realise you are dealing with people who aren't willing to be honest and straight forward and unfortunately that's what we have now.

Well said!

Nobody positively discriminates, it's illegal in the UK.

In order to get the best people, Companies set criteria for assessing candidates. Based upon the organisation's objectives and the role requirements.

That is what I have described.

If you really want to pick a fight, try asking any major organisation which candidate they would favour ceteris paribus. As a tie break, they will normally go for the less 'standard' candidate - whatever that may be in their world - to increase the breadth of thinking.

This is the post.

No candidates tie.

This not directly taking a knee but is part of the general nonsense related to current race issues: Rod Liddle in the Spectator gives us what he calls “an almost perfect postscript to 2020, the Year of Derangement”. Cornell University in the USA will ban students from their libraries and other campus buildings if they refuse to have a flu vaccine. However, ‘Students of Color’ can decline the vaccine if they have concerns based on historical injustices and current events. Here is Cornell’s website guide on this:
“We recognize that, due to longstanding systemic racism and health inequities in this country, individuals from some marginalized communities may have concerns about needing to agree to such requirements. For example, historically, the bodies the of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) have been mistreated, and used by people in power, sometimes for profit or medical gain. It is understandable that the current Compact requirements may feel suspect or even exploitative to some BIPOC members of the Cornell community. Additionally, recent acts of violence against Black people by law enforcement may contribute to feelings of distrust or powerlessness. We know this history and validate the potential concerns it may raise. At the same time, we know that long-standing social inequalities and health disparities have resulted in COVID-19 disproportionately affecting BIPOC individuals. Higher percentages of individuals from these communities become infected with COVID, and the health outcomes related to infection are often more serious. Away from campus community, BIPOC individuals are not as likely to have access to preventive services or quality health care. The systems, services, and policies being implemented at Cornell seek to address these inequalities as well as the differential impacts.”
Apart from the clear racial discrimination involved, the policy must lead to a high risk of flu infections among those exempted. No doubt the Klu Klux Klan highly approve of the policy.

There’s a ‘Search the Holmesdale online’ bar under your login box and friend updates and above the adverts. I just typed in ‘tie break candidate’ or something.
