David Attenborough . . . As already mentioned, to compare him to Sad DIck Khunt is obscene, you have no concept of reality. Go away you bore.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I thought it was Sean Bean (in which case the same description applies, plus "northern" )

That is possibly the most stupid comment ever written on the Hol.

David Attenborough is a passionate, intelligent, well-informed, interesting and kind man who cares about the future of our planet. Not for himself, me or you, but for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I have never heard him express a political opinion, right or left. Climate change is real. It's a proven fact and dealing with it is urgent. It's reality is accepted world-wide. Those that seek to deny it, to ensure their own comfort, are denying their heirs a future. He is far from a bore. He is among the most interesting people on TV.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I was simply pointing out that social or global politics have had a place on occasions in the past on Dr Who, occasions going back to the early 70’s

Justification? No not really I don’t think the politicisation of Dr Who is a overt as being painted on here.

Bang in the middle of the US race riots..?

I heard this too YT and thought much the same, but also that I was just getting old.

Awards to be given out on subject matter alone? But only on the "right" subject matter.

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

Silvertop, are you able to provide any more specific details (which section of which Act, any accompanying guidance etc?).

I have become increasingly concerned about this. My place of work is proudly compelling me to discriminate, very much against my will. Specifically:

1. When I interview candidates, I must form a panel which is diverse in terms of race and gender. I am so dull as to only occupy one of each, so I had to ask a female colleague of Asian heritage to join me on the panel regardless of her personal suitability for the task, and also explain that if she can't make it, I need to find another non-white female because in the eyes of this insane woke legislation, you lot are all the same.

2. They are introducing targets (quotas) regarding the racial composition of the workplace, which they want me to factor in when deciding who to employ. I researched this, and found that generally speaking positive discrimination is illegal under (then EU, perhaps now just UK?) law, because any form of discrimination is illegal. However, there is a clause allowing a place of employment to introduce race as a criterion for employment if that organisation feels that a particular racial group is disadvantaged at that time.

I looked into this further. From what I could gather, firstly, race could only be used as a kind of tie-breaker (i.e two candidates had to be equally appointable before race could be used to separate them). Secondly, the employing company doesn't need to demonstrate to anyone that a particular race is, as a matter of fact, disadvantaged in order to introduce positive discrimination - they just have to believe it is so. Thirdly, even if an employer feels a racial group is disadvantaged there is no compulsion to use positive discrimination, it is a choice an employer can make.

It seems to me that far from positive discrimination being forced upon my employer by the regulations, it is my employer who has actively chosen this path.
