English girl refused job because she is the wrong type of white!
I am much in agreement with Dizzy on this story in the Mail on Sunday, it’s just absolute lunacy, pettiness beyond belief. Quite illustrative of some of the departmental policies being pursued by bureaucratic boffins who are wildly out of touch with the real world.
If she had been white Welsh, white Irish, or white Scottish her application would have been considered. Is it any wonder that the lunatic fringes on the far right make a song and dance when highly paid civil servants provide them with ready made excuses?

Well I’d be well and truly stuffed as I’ve always refused to answer any ‘monitoring’ questions about my ethnic origin.
I suppose the idiots that dreamt up these types of ‘schemes’ to ensure fair play (know doubt in their radical phase) didn’t actually consider it would have the opposite effect. But unlike you and I these ‘brainstormers’ seem to live in some kind of idealistic fantasy world.
What is especially worrying is that many of these same people (now over their radical phase and even cut their hair) now run many of our institutions, including local and national government. I mean just look at some of our councillors and MPs!
