He's just gotta do more with less. 👍
Indeed. To most of us mere plebs the intitals JSA represents the pittance paid by Job Seekers allowance.

To Boorish, the public purse is regarded as the Johnson Support Agency!

IF that person has only been given the job because of their colour is that right ? There have been instances of people of colour being given jobs over white people because that employer hasn't enough people of colour within their organisation.
Moaner. How do you know a person was given a job because of the colour of their skin? Why do you assume that? According to your logic no person of a different ethnicity can ever be given a job
without the accusation flying around that they got that job purely because of their ethnicity.

Why can't you just accept that it's perfectly possible and normal that a person with a different shade of skin or different religion can be quite capable of doing a very good job?

How you fight the perceived racism is important. Stop with the inner chimp and gooz fra baa a little.
It wasn't perceived. It was perfectly clear what it was. "Being nice" is not always appropriatte. : depends what the topic is.

Tav, since chiding Stuffers with 'me old bucket of whale poo', any aspiration for civilised beaconhood I once had, is now shot.

indo lives in Indo for good reason - insulting and inflammatory language can often be highly subjective. Perhaps we should be mindful of that too.

Might well be a barsteward, but I ain't no Trot, now that's insulting to me ! Mods !! You miserable old git. :)
I'm not sure what you mean in your 2nd paragraph. By the way, It was England - Germany 2 years - Spain 15 years - and then Indonesia. I came on a 2 year contract but stayed - can't beat seeing the sun every single morning and the spectacular scenery..

So let me get this right - you think that poverty and homelessness should be the responsibility of a few rich footballers, rather than of the government whose policies and ineptitude has led directly to the huge increase in poverty and homelessness over the 10 years they've been in power?
It says something when Johnson is ready to p*ss up billions by giving out non-tendered contracts to his sponsors/ supporter company who of course had no test and trace experience - which clearly has been proven by their awful performance - and yet is loathe to provide free meals for the kids from disadvantaged
families.

Could well be wrong, but was under the impression you'd had your blood pump stolen by an Indonesian, and stayed on ?

And while you’re at it, have a think about the number of times a person of colour hasn’t got a job, or even an interview, because they were a person of colour.

Try applying for a job with your name as Singh and then try it with your name, see what the hit rates are like.

So what are you Elgy me Ol' Mucker ?

An unreconstructed Bennite, Revolutionary Socialist, a disciple of the Reverend Blair, a half crazed outrider for the Broon or summat else ? Just interested like
Centre left, Al. Used to identify somewhat with the one nation Tories, but they've all been booted out of the party by now.
