"James Cleverly, deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, said: “This is yet another example of discrimination by Labour.

“Their lazy assumption that straight white men can’t fight for equality is shocking. It is essential that political parties represent each and every person irrespective of race, sexuality or age. "

Re: More Labour Discrimination

I don't have a problem with it, if a disabled person wants to meet and talk about problems and answers with other disabled people they have a right to do so, same with people of colour etc. If white men feel so ostracised have your own meeting to discuss your problems with the awful discrimination you face daily, oh no you can't can you because you aren't facing it like the others.

You can fight for equality without attending these meetings.

What a big deal!

Re: More Labour Discrimination

LMAO !!

So . . .

If young white males want to have a Labour Young Labour conference and the flyer specifically states:

"Disabled people may not attend"

Then that would be fine to you would it?!!!

There would be uproar !

This is a typical case of Labour discrimination, and a blatant attempt to keep people out of a conference so that there are no contrarian voices in any discussion/debate.

Not too dissimilar to Labour refusing to allow discussion of BrExit at their major conference last year.

How can there ever be equality if there is going to be sectioning of the populous to such conferences ? It's basically saying those who are not Black or Asian or Minority Ethnic or LGBT or female may not have a voice on such issues.

Pretty shocking.

Re: More Labour Discrimination

Does seem a contradiction of terms if it's an "equality" conference...

Re: More Labour Discrimination

No I'd say the oppressors can have their platform although I'd rather they didn't use it to oppress others obviously.

I supported the local schools stance on positive discrimination towards working class white boys a year or two ago, they needed support they were falling behind.

I support anyone that is a minority who are finding discrimination against them, that could be anyone but less likely to be white men.

Re: More Labour Discrimination

It depends if you feel discriminated against groups may need to talk about their feelings in a safe space I guess. One of the best most uplifting meetings I ever attended where real strategies were able to be put in place to help the minority was a meeting for mixed race foster and adopters, it was there we could actually face things we didn't feel we wanted to say in front of others. We I believe all got a lot out of that meeting and left recharged and able to help our kids with our new attitudes.

Re: More Labour Discrimination

Double standards as always

Re: More Labour Discrimination

Only if you can't see some people don't have any chance of equality unless they are helped. I know you seem to think equality is already here but for many it's as far away as it ever was.

Re: More Labour Discrimination

I wonder if the scumbag 'nasty party' hold such events??? Oh no, they're anti gay and anti lesbian, so they couldn't host such meetings.
