Labour suddenly interested in white working class shocker


????

Recommended Posts

Only read the beginning, but it reminded me of when I was a student on placement before I qualified. A job came up where I was doing my placement, and a nice lass in the office said to me "make sure you mention the minority groups in your interview, they like that". I asked what they were, and she said;


Women

Ethnic minorities

Homosexuals

Elderly

Disabled


So basically, EVERYONE who wasn't a straight white bloke without a disability. I think the word "minorities" may have been somewhat misunderstood there.

It may sound like common sense to you Sean, but with due respect, I suspect that your circle of friends/colleagues/relatives etc. are in all probability mostly white?...and, if that is the case, I can see how you might genuinely believe the situation in that article as being correct. However, I think it is naive to suggest that (although we have moved on enormously) ethnic minority groups (especially those of Afro Carribean heritage) do not suffer disproportionately when it comes to discrimination in the employment sector.

LadyMuck - not disagreeing with you as such but he isn't saying everything is tickety boo now - he is saying let's not keep fighting the same battles with the same outdated equipment


I don't want to get into the whole white-man-says-he-has-black friends thing either, but given that's the assumption, I do have to correct it and say I am aware

    • Ahh, Mr N, you're going too far there. I (boringly) agree with you whenever you say Rye Lane is neglected and an eyesore. However, the cafes and restaurants can be quite nice inside, and I don't think any of them offers al fresco dining on Rye Lane itself. So it's not a crazy idea at all.
    • Where is a nearby Aldi?? I find the Sainsbury's in Forest Hill even more depressing than the Dog Kennel Hill one, if such a thing was possible.
