The Equality Act, effective from April 2011 will push anti-white “positive action” guidelines and is to punish employers who do not discriminate in favour of choosing ethnic minorities, transgender and homosexuals for employment.
The Equalities Minister, Lynne Featherstone announced last week the implementation of the anti-white legislation and it was revealed that employers who do not discriminate sufficiently against whites in favour of minorities and homosexuals would be ‘named and shamed’.
Positive action, which is in effect positive discrimination means that an employer who, when faced with two applicants for a job who are equally qualified, would be expected to award that job to the ethnic over the white applicant.
The positive action guideline is part of the Lib-Con coalition Equality Strategy designed to increase numbers of ethnic minorities and homosexuals at work, schools, the public service and the health service.
The strategy includes:
• Guidelines to help companies make workplaces "gay friendly". These will be based on forthcoming research showing why companies find it difficult to create a culture where homosexuals are made to feel welcome and valued.
• Broader efforts to promote equal rights for homosexuals, including plans to allow same-sex couples to register their civil partnerships in churches. Ministers will also champion the rights of same-sex couples abroad, and work to tackle antagonism towards homosexuals in sport and in school playgrounds. Efforts will be made to recruit more homosexuals to stand for Parliament.
Speaking about the Equalities Act, Lynne Featherstone said ‘It is about giving employers the choice to make their workforce more diverse.’
The notion of giving employers ‘choice’ was shown to be a sham when Featherstone, speaking at London Docklands, revealed that if the ‘named and shamed’ policy doesn’t force employers to enforce the anti-white guidelines in favouring minority groups, ministers would consider tougher action “including a mandatory approach”.
Under the Equalities Act employers’ decisions on choosing applicants could subject them to increasing legal action for unfair discrimination by rejected minority and homosexual candidates.
The British National Party would repeal all politically correct laws that serve to discriminate against whites. The Equality Act and Race Relations Act are two pieces of anti-white legislation that the BNP would repeal immediately. The BNP believes that employers should have the absolute free choice when choosing job applicants without the interfering of politically correct politicians and government.
