You're really not, you're just saying what you think happened, because you'll always, always take the side of a white man against an Asian woman. Because that's who you are.

I don't think giving the specifics in the media is going to get to the bottom of it. What's needed is an independent investigation. It's totally unjustifiable that Labour were investigated by the EHRC for anti-Semitism, but the EHRC are not investigating the Tories for Islamophobia and racism.

We do not know if the allegations are considered serious enough or if there is proof for an investigation that you describe. This is the problem when the media jump on a subject and use sensational headlines without reporting the facts behind them or what action is being taken out of the public's domain.

It's not just this allegation though, there are loads of allegations of Islamophobia from Tory party members (Baroness Warsi has also made allegations), and numerous examples of Tory councillors etc. making Islamophobic social media posts and so forth. Exactly the same kind of issues that the Labour party was faced with. EHRC investigated Labour, but isn't investigating the Tories. Why?

The EHRC need to be asked ‘Why’, I’m sure that Nadine Dorries is more than capable of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The truth is no British political party has given more important top jobs in government then the Tory party have to both Asia women and men since they replaced the Labour party in 2010. Yes, the political partys ballance their cabinet and the BBC do the same in some instances. I assume that one Muslim was given more responsibility, so this MP was given the boot?

The truth is the Muslim lady Tory MP has done considerable damage to the career prospects for all Muslims in our country. Any employer would now be foolish to employ a Muslim to do any job if a white woman or white man is available to do the job and risk being accused of being anti Muslim should they want to sack the Muslim because there are not competent enough to do the said job. It really is a no brainer any sensible employer should now file all job applications from people with Muslim sounding names in the waste paper bin rather than risk hassle should the Muslim not being any good at the job. Are white employees responsible for the behaviour of other white employees? And if so can they be discriminated against when getting job?

Mister M 1,575 #4032 Posted January 24, 2022 3 minutes ago, West 77 said: A white employee with a non Muslim name can't claim they have been discriminated against for being a Muslim if they are sacked for whatever reason. For that reason alone it makes sense for any employer to give preference to normal white people with non Muslims names who apply for any jobs. That would be direct discrimination and against the law.
