Discrimination is still discrimination.
A rotting fish by any other name would smell as sour…

I googled her on YouTube. Watch this; it’s actually amusing but I cannot imagine anyone paying to suffer three sets of it:
Jelena Ostapenko v Simona Halep
It’s bizarre but I learned long ago that there nothing so risible or absurd that a woman will not stoop to do it.

I could not agree more with Mr Philip Davies. ‘Positive discrimination’ is disgraceful.
Discarding meritocracy makes a mockery of the recruitment process. If it is not the best applicant for the job, then it ought not be called recruitment. ‘Appointment of the favoured demographic’ would be more truthful.

Women only shortlists paved the way for this. Once you depart from appointing people on merit there is no end to the ways you can try to justify discrimination.

Women only shortlists are only possible due to a specific Act of Parliament because they were shown to be illegal (the Equality Act) by a legal challenge by a male Labour candidate. Positive discrimination is illegal under the Equality Act , but of course it will require a potential intern to mount a private case to bring the Act into force.

Thanks. The Equality Act permits ‘positive action’, which in practice is positive discrimination. Women are taught how to exploit it in taxpayer-funded seminars, I haven’t ever heard of men using it.
