  2. I think you'll find that Irish, Welsh and Scots people would be horrified at the suggestion that they become English or ever wanted to be.

  3. Thank you for your analysis. Yes, that 'absolute equality', which is absolutely impossible, is what woke call 'equity' and it's what they're striving for.

  4.  @jeffh2166  You know what? Businesses may be finding it easier to part black people from their cash...they're milking the market. I strongly object to the patronisation and exploitation of black people.

  5. Thank you for your cogent insight. I've long held that equality isn't possible (nor entirely desirable) but was too lazy or distracted to undergird my conviction. Having said that, I'm struck by the way these two words have long been been used to enthrall us to a particular unrealistic, impossible to achieve perspective. Which is why we're where we are now: almost overcome by nonsense.

  6. Calling him on what he imagines to be hiring practices in the UK. All responsible employers have long separated personal, identifying details from the experience/qualifications section which is the only part that the shortlisters/ interviewers get. Only skank employers would keep an application together.

  7.  @MrJREllman  Poverty is relative.And a third of the UK's children are currently living in poverty. "Dickensian" That quote and statistic come directly from the UN Special Rapporteur on Poverty who investigated poverty in the UK a few years back. Don't take my word for it, go read his UN report.

  8.  @Fedorevsky  Indeed, I've heard several black academics talking on the same theme.

  9.  @garylake1676  LOL! man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, most ignorant of what he's most assured, his glassy essence, like an angry ape, plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven as make the angels weep... Your patronising ad hominems are wasted on me LOL!

  11. The big secret is that there's never been any such thing as equality. (And equity is equality on crack).
