I gave a 6 paragraph reply of less than 200 words, of which 1 paragraph and 12 words were a repeat of yours.
Firstly, the definition of a diatribe is: "A bitter, abusive denunciation".
Was my initial response fitting with this definition?
Secondly, your useless guarantee of finding no reference to positive discrimination was used only a few days ago by none other than the London Metropolitan Police, here:
Met police in talks over law change to allow positive discrimination | UK news | The Guardian
Or, if you prefer, this guy seems to know a thing or two about the matter:
HR ?should not be afraid to use positive discrimination? - People Management Magazine Online
You may also find many other legal references to positive discrimination on a reputable search engine.
Finally, when I have to bend over and accept your permission to post on a subject - rightly or wrongly - will be the day the democracy dies, EU or non EU.
Now be fair: You don't own this forum and you certainly don't own my right to reply.
Mind you, in the Middle East you're not allowed to think out loud are you?
