London met uni considering banning alcohol for its muslim students.

Alchresearch is correct! I remember this scheme.

Another one i remember around 2007 ish was in the dole place (Sheff town centre)

A leaflet showing a black man all nice and smart,standing in front of a bus. It was some kind of scheme offering free bus-driving lessons,(nowt wrong with that so far) Until i read further,and realised it was only open to ethnic minorities.

 

Such an advert would be against the law, I'd be interested to see a source for this?

What is wrong with that? Encouraging under-represented groups into employment sectors is a good thing, surely? It was a scheme designed to recruit rather than excluding whites from applying via the normal channels. I bet you would be the first to complain about ethnic groups being on the dole.

[alchresearch]

Which scheme was this? Sounds like a load of old trousers to me, I trust you have a verifiable source, or are you just posting made up nonsense to titilate the resident racists?

 

It was featured on Countryfile. I shall see if I can find more details.

If it was advertising a training scheme positive discrimination would be legal, I think, but you cannot advertise jobs for black people only, because it's against the law.

 

The relevant section of the Act:

 

37 Discriminatory training by certain bodies

 

(1)Nothing in Parts II to IV shall render unlawful any act done in relation to particular work by [F1any person] in or in connection with—

 

(a)affording only persons of a particular racial group access to facilities for training which would help to fit them for that work; or

 

(b)encouraging only persons of a particular racial group to take advantage of opportunities for doing that work,

 

where [F1it reasonably appears to that person] that at any time within the twelve months immediately preceding the doing of the act—

 

(i)there were no persons of that group among those doing that work in Great Britain; or

 

(ii)the proportion of persons of that group among those doing that work in Great Britain was small in comparison with the proportion of persons of that group among the population of Great Britain.

 

(2)Where in relation to particular work [F2it reasonably appears to any person] that although the condition for the operation of subsection (1) is not met for the whole of Great Britain it is met for an area within Great Britain, nothing in Parts II to IV shall render unlawful any act done by [F2that person] in or in connection with—

 

(a)affording persons who are of the racial group in question, and who appear likely to take up that work in that area, access to facilities for training which would help to fit them for that work; or

 

(b)encouraging persons of that group to take advantage of opportunities in the area for doing that work.

 

F3(3)The preceding provisions of this section shall not apply to any discrimination which is rendered unlawful by section 4(1) or (2).]

That's not the same thing as having some social events without alcohol, is it? That's cancelling an activity and replacing it with something that is entirely new, different and seperate.

 

The analogy would work better if some people liked karate and single malt whisky at the same time, and some people just wanted the karate - so two classes then exist.

 

I'll acknowledge I made an unreasonable comparison, but it's also true that for many people the allure of a social function is the booze.

But Muslims and others still manage to socialise without booze, the typical British mentality of drink till you spew and then be hospitalised is one of the reasons why the Muslim culture is superior to ours.

That and other things like treating their women like property and stoning kids to death, far superior cultural traits.

Errr, when was the last time a child was stoned to death by muslims in the UK?

 

Way to go taking the extremes of human behaviour and using them to slag off two million people!

I didn't say in the UK (if I had, I might have raised the 'superior' Muslim culture of grooming young girls that's been in the press of late), I wasn't 'slagging off' anybody, and I wasn't responding to you

Would a cure not be a good thing? I'm not saying anything negative about homosexuals, but surely they would benefit from the chance to be heterosexual?

 

Spoken like a true Islamist.
