I'm sure the litmus test would be if Tom the Eagle would be willing to knock her into next week?

Three headlines across the top of the BBC website at the moment

1) Speaker Bercow announces emotional farewell

2) MPs call for pavement parking ban across England

3) YouTuber Nikita Dragun faces backlash over hairstyle

One and two are fine but three - really?

In all fairness, YouTubers probably have a bigger audience than some of the BBC drivel.
Pavement parking - getting priorities right there.

YouTube is corporate now and restricts speech....It isn't perfect but I use Bitchute more and more now.

In certain streets yes.
What about the fire police and ambulances getting through.
If this happens it will cause deaths.
If I didnt pavement park the gap between my car and opposite would be about 5 foot.
Not good for the above and bin day would be fun!

Yet another BBC article promoting far left progressive politics in regards to race.....giving prominence to the arguments for employing less white people and not hiring on pure merit but on 'diversity'.

I was being sarcastic. The basic problem is lack of and expense of parking plus poor Public Transport in some places. But instead let's fine people who park on the pavement - more indirect taxes basically. Of course there will be a guy in a wheelchair who works for the BBC who had to kick a car on the pavement once - etc.

I looked into CIA and FBI recruitment and you have to be American - even naturalisation is suspicious. That does say to me that they will have a problem in some cases. Not sure how Lance from Connecticut can infiltrate the Taliban. But skin colour should have no relevance on ability, according to advocates to diversity, yet in the same breath, an organisation can be too white. Ridiculous double standards but just par for the course now.

Cool but there are places where pavement parking is not necessary.
Just protecting their corsa.

Agreed, we know what the real motivation is.

If you are going to work for a national intelligence agency then allegiance is by far the most important quality.....what's the point of merit if it can't be relied upon. Once both are beyond question then skin colour is irrelevant.

Progressive politics and national security don't mix.

Do they have quotas these days? I remember them being brought in but not sure if Trump got rid of them.
What I always see are unofficial quotas at work anyway. Went for a job I really thought I would get a couple of times. Interviews were brilliant. Then when I saw who got the jobs I couldn't help thinking that I was too white male, or in one case able-bodied. I can't compete with that without a sex change and serious accident or illness and a sun lamp is just not going to do anything except make me look like a sex pest.
And those people are useless at their jobs despite how right-on and warm inside the HR people can now feel. Whilst, I used to be a top, top worker, I am now understandably demotivated to the extent that I would have no loyalty at all to my organisation. In fact, I sometimes actively undermine them from the inside without even thinking about it too much.
I won my employment case over these and other issues but the ten years it took has aged me and left me cynical. I haven't received my payout yet - two years after the judgement. That is how vindictive they are. Rest assured, I will get it. I suspect that most just shut up and put up these days and I wouldn't blame them.

Yep I had a job interview where I suspected a similar thing happened.....but I didn't go through what you went through.....You have my best wishes for this mate.

We know what 'diversity' means....less white males....and sometimes just less whites.
