'Advert for 'reliable workers' banned as discriminatory'

[Alcoblog]

I have placed quotation marks around this news item, because it appears the 'banning' was done by some lower Pond life within a job centre, who appears to have misinterpreted the rules, rather than as a result of a correct interpretation of government policy. However, it does raise questions as to how anyone with a brain cell, even those thoroughly indoctrinated with the edicts of political correctness, could assume that a request for 'reliable workers' could fall foul of anti-discrimination legislation.

Forget about 'pond life' .. think 'primordial soup' and 'lowest link'... of the evolutionary ladder. Who wants to employ a numpty when you're trying to improve your business? Good old Job Centre... you can't blame them- they hire these people to work for them then it becomes incremental!

Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life forms down here.

I doubt political correctness has much to do with it, just plain old idiocy. In a previous job I used to place ads with Jobcentre Plus on behalf of people, and the people who answered the phones didn't have two braincells between them.

 

You'd read the ad out, then they'd read back what they'd written down which rarely bore any resemblance to the original. People only use them because they're free (except they're not really because we pay for them through taxation).

That's exactly how ‘Political Correctness’ works. Every jumped-up piece of ‘Pondlife’, incapable of rational thought, is out to show to the world just how politically correct they can be.

 

Indoctrinating the masses worked for Hitler and the communist regimes, now it's the liberals who are seeking to impose their doctrine on the masses.
