The Labour Government’s Equality Bill, announced yesterday in the Queen’s speech, will actively discriminate against all British people in business and put large companies under a legal obligation to employ Asians or Africans rather than British.
The Catholic Church has also warned that other clauses could lead to public displays of Christmas being banned as offensive to other religions. The Equality Bill was one of a set of 13 bills and two draft bills mapped out in the brief opening of Parliament yesterday.
In terms of the Equality Act, companies will be “encouraged” to favour black and Asian candidates over white people when recruiting. In addition, where companies have a choice between equally qualified men and women, they are obliged to employ the woman.
To enforce compliance with that provision, the Equality Act will also order companies with more than 250 employees to have “gender pay audits.”
In effect this means that any company which does not actively discriminate against white males will be in contravention of the “gender pay audit” section of the act. In effect it means that any large company must discriminate against whites in order to comply with the law.
Meanwhile, Roman Catholic bishops have warned that Christmas celebrations could be banned under the Equality Act as well.
General secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Andrew Summersgill, was quoted in the media saying that the bill will “fuel Britain’s risk-averse culture.”
He said the law will have the “chilling effect” of making local authorities halt Christmas celebrations out a fear of “offending other cultures.”
Mr Summersgill said there had already been a number of cases where councils had banned Christmas decorations. Oxford City Council had renamed its famous Christmas festival as the “Winter Light Festival” to make it more inclusive.
“Under existing legislation, we have seen the development of a risk-averse culture with outcomes as ridiculous as reports of a local authority instructing tenants to take down Christmas lights in case they might offend Muslim neighbours, or of authorities removing the word Christmas out of cultural sensitivity to everyone except Christians,” Mr Summersgill wrote in a letter to MPs.
“If this Bill is serious about equality, everything possible must be done to avoid it having a chilling effect on religious expression and practice.”
Senior Catholics have also complained that religious groups will be forced to accept homosexual youth workers, secretaries and other staff even if their faith holds same-sex relationships to be sinful.
The letter continued: “The Catholic Church has significant concerns about the practical implications of some parts of the Bill.”
* Another bill announced in the Queen’s speech is one which would supposedly crack down upon the financial services sector to prevent a debacle of the sort seen over the last few years.
Apart from the fact that this is very much a case of trying to close the stable door after the horse has bolted, this move is clearly an attempt to divert attention away from the fact that the Labour government has bailed out the banking sector to the tune of an estimated £150 billion or more over the last year and a half.
* It is unlikely that Parliament will be able to complete this proposed legislative schedule before the end of the lifespan of the current assembly. It can therefore be presumed that the Equality Act will receive priority.
* Strike back at the Politically Correct thought police who would seek to destroy this nation.
