Should Harridan - sorry, Harriet Harman be investigated/punished for blatant racism and sexism?

Question

For her attempts to push a bill through parliament that enforces 'positive discrimination'? This is effectively a politically correct way of saying racist against whites and sexist against men.

Furthermore should any institution such as the police, (amongst many others) who use it be punished for the same offences?

Would anyone get away with saying we only want to hire white men, you havent got the job because your black/asian/a woman? I dont think so.

Answer 1

She is pushing through as law something which neither whites or ethnic groups want. Very democratic. She is a middle class chatterer of the worst type.

I once worked with a very pleasant Asian woman who was completely out of her depth doing her job. The company bent over backwards to find a post suitable for her few talents. She was moved from job to job but she could still not get to grips with the work. Eventually she took the company to court saying they were treating her like this because she was Asian! She won.

If this law becomes fact we can look forward to every shiftless, selfish, talentless ethnic trying it on. I wonder what a racist would think???

Answer 2

Harridan is an appropriate name for Harman who is indeed a harridan. Strangely enough Hazel Blears another useless article rides a motor cycle model called a Virago !. What could be more accurate?.

Answer 3

Definately! The woman is a menace, plain and simple!

But other than that this whole idea of positive discrimination is a joke and is a politically correct idea by the liberal left wing idiots that has gone way too far. Talk about institutional racism, what the h**l do you people think positive discrimination is?  

Answer 4

The most discriminated group of people in this country are white, single young men, and always have been.  1 example is, housing, when can a young single male get a council house??  

Answer 5

When a General Election looms just under the horizon!These Labour Cabinet ministers fool no one!Why?It is just a gimmick to get the ethnic minorities and the female vote ready!

Really! What we are witnessing are the opening shots of Harriet Harman bid to unseat Gordon Brown!

Yes!We will see the smiles and protestations of loyal support for Gordon Brown!But!Behind the female smile!There could be lurking a tarantula in disguise!

Answer 6

i agree mike but not just her the whole  goverment are bonkers.

Answer 7

I do not see how adding a positive in front of discrimination makes it all right.

Any discrimination is a negative thing, so I agree with you it is racist.

Answer 8

The danger is that her nonsense provides propaganda for the extreme right

Answer 9

Anything that damages her is probably good for the nation. She doesn't seem to realise that positive discrimination for one section of society is negative for other sections. However did she get through primary school?

Answer 10

I think when selecting the cabinet of this government they trawled around the local asylum . They all seem to be thrashing around in total confusion , i have seen more positive control at a creche

Answer 11

Yes, I'm anti-Harman and I often tell her what I think at her Blog site too.

She's a radical feminist and an idiot. She wants to change the law so that women can kill men in cold blood as long as they have an excuse of domestic violence...(who's going to prove that there was any domestic violence - no doubt in Harriet Harman's mind the woman  must be believed without question).

Foolish people on the left increase racism and sexism when they push for equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity.

It's not equality when some people are discriminated against in employment to favour others. I believe that it's illegal under European human rights law and I really hope that a white man will challenge any illegal legislation in court.

Answer 12

New Labour in general must be trying to incite National rioting.  Let's hope she isn't wearing a stab vest if that's the case. I don't like the Tories, but New Labour should be turned into tinned meat to feed the third world.  And as for the police....totally betrayed by their own leaders...as we have been betrayed by Blair and Brown.  

Answer 13

Having no time at all for Harriet Harman, I do have to point out that, in local and national government job selection processes, "positive discrimination" has been going on for years.

I worked in a local government position and, in 1991, I had the temerity to ask why an Asian person had been awarded a particular post, for which he was not qualified and in which he had no experience, over a person with a basic qualification with only a few months experience, to be told "if we don't give him the job, he will accuse us of discrimination".

I am not racist, but I do believe that ALL jobs should be awarded purely on merit. Race, s*x, sexual preference or age have nothing to do with it. If you are the best person for the job, irrespective of any other consideration, you should get the job.

Answer 14

To say that you must give equal opportunity (and level the playing field) is hardly racist or sexist.

Grow up.

Answer 15

The woman has forgotten that she is also a representative of men in her constituency. She is typical  over educated third class brain child of  wealthier peoplee of this country.

I can not understand if any man or thinking woman ever voted for her in the first place and it would be unforgivable to vote for her  in the next election  Then I forgot at one time she did display a degree of charm. Don't lettthat fool youthese peole at bbest are Communist or Facist their is actuallyy nothing different between the two
