The equality industry will make clients of us all and damage everyone

Just listening to the news this morning three news items jumped out:

1. Calls for being Fat to be added to those protected by the equality act, due to the problem of body image with kids.
2. Lord Browne calls for "more to be done" for Gays in industry. I think I heard quotas and targets mentioned.
3. Alan Milburn wades into the social mobility debate by calling on professions to encourage people from "poor" backgrounds, especially in Medicine.

Every one of these issues is what my branch of engineering would call a tail pipe solution. All are unable to consider the underlying issue, some of the for fear of the political implications.

Each one demands an extension to the equality policies that make judgements arbitrary and directly remove equal rights from some ( like the right to work in case 2 ) to replace them to their clients.

This sort of discrimination has been tried, and is still undertaken in the United States, where quotas mean if you come from a racial group the state discourages then you won't get to University. If your in the wrong racial group you can't bid for some government contracts. The result is low standards and poor work, but the result has also been a client base for the left of centre Democrat party of people who know in a fair competition they wouldn't have their jobs or businesses, and thus are obliged to keep the protection racked going by supporting the democrats.

It represses freedom, creates deep injustice and provides a guaranteed supporters base to those who set the system up.

You can see why the left (inc the BBC)  are so keen on it.

But remember any dysfunctions in society continues ( for example poor education results from the state system ) and it is only punishing those who have done well by removing their human rights hand them to others. That's a nasty sort of state, and not one any right thinking person should wish on us here in England. But it is where the progressive left are marching us.

Equality and repression

The Pope has entered the debate on Labour's plans for a secular legally enforced religion with prosecution and imprisonment for those who commit heresy against the wisdom of Labour/ the BBC/ the Guardian. ( This is spun, just as blatantly, by the militant secularists who will tolerate no dissent on Equality legislation. )

I'm afraid from a UK point of you he's a bit late - before the vote in the house of Lords would have been better- but better late than never.

But will the Catholic Church recommend anyone-but-Labour for the general election ? Given Labour's enthusiasm for murdering unborn children who are viable human beings you would have thought that this line would already have been crossed.

Sadly as an Anglican, the Church of England's Bishops are almost invisible on this issue of the freedom of religion.

Anyway, a few corrections from what I've heard on the radio this morning.

The Church isn't worried about employing gays or anyone else. It is worried about appointing people who openly proclaim its teachings are wrong to positions of pastoral or doctrinal authority or whom represent the church. The Church better than many other knows that all have sinned and carry on doing so - its those who say this state doesn't matter or exist that worries it.

Now there are those who argue that the current Equality legislation doesn't force this. I heard a member of the hard line British Humanist association talking about just janitors etc. However, since he has no basis for being honest and fears no judgement I go with the advice of of Christian lawyers who warn it does.

What's happening here is the establishment of an arbitrary humanist morality backed by the terror of the state. Its the opposite of what those who have an open mind or a faith should want to see.

Arguments will be made in terms of rights of services etc but some of those people making those arguments have other agendas.

The bottom line is that any Christian or Muslim should think very long and hard before voting Labour.

Labour has become a rabidly anti-Christian organisation whose actions lead to the repression of Christians and needs to be recognised as such.

Labour's Equality agenda is about anything but ...

I don't know about you but I first started hearing the term the ***** (insert term) agenda from Sinn Fein, probably in the 80's. It was a Marxist way of putting some sort of objective in vague form that justified all sorts of unreasonable ideas to achieve it.

Well now we have Harriet Harman's Equality Agenda.

But she doesn't mean what you think she means. by equality Labour don't mean equality of each of her Majesty's subjects before the law, they mean the excuse to subvert that very thing.

Examples are starting to pile up and they include:

• Making motorists pay fines for crimes they haven't committed ( the new victims leavy on crimes without victims - ie a stealth tax ).
• Providing grants to some students but expecting the parents of other to pay for their own offspring and those of other - even though the whole point of tertiary education is supposed to be about the future benefits to the individual concerned.
• Putting Equality issues on a par with Education in schools ( making it quite clear that Labour doesn't see schools as being there for education but for indoctrination ).
• Turning the police from a force to fight crime, into a service that will knock at your door to accuse you of hate crimes, take your DNA and attack you for not being diverse enough.

There will be more, much more. Labour believe the state should be a thug bullying its cowered citizens into saying the right things and being afraid of denying its mantras.

Labour are the sworn enemy of aspiration, freedom and justice.

And they intend to pursue their plans to destroy these things under the banner of Equality.
