Racism and a very stupid white woman

Jobs were moved from the town of Corby, Northamptonshire (which is 93.7% white British)....
.... to the city of Leicester, Leicestershire (59.6% white British)
Just as well the Government doesn't run the Daily Mail, or I'd be out on my ear. Too white, too British.
This column would be relocated to Oldham and handed over to a Somali woman.
In Labour's multiculti la-la land, being white and British is now officially a sacking offence.
That's the fate which has befallen 80 staff working for the prison service in Corby, Northants.
They have been told their office is being closed and operations transferred to Leicester, home to a far greater number of people from the ethnic minorities.
Ann Beasley, director of finance for prisons at the Home Office, wrote explaining the decision.
Under the heading "key influencing factors", her letter cites: "Our ability to attract a more diverse workforce - 93.7 per cent of the population of Corby are white British, compared to 59.6 per cent in Leicester."
So, despite Corby being one of the most depressed towns in Britain, another 80 people are being thrown on the dole, simply for being the wrong colour.
Miss Beasley also expects to recruit a better class of employee, pointing out that there are almost twice as many graduates in Leicester as there are in Corby (Leicester is Britain's 10th largest city, whereas Corby is a very small town).
In other words, Corby is full of thick chavs, who are too stupid to hold down a clerical job with the prison service.
Can you imagine this kind of outrageous racism in reverse? Think of the outcry if the Government decided to close an office in, say, Brixton, and relocate it to Guildford on the grounds that Afro-Caribbeans were over-represented and the staff didn't have a decent degree between them.
Ann Beasley
They'd be filling milk bottles with four-star on the Nelson Mandela estate and the clown responsible for the decision would be lucky to escape with his life, let alone his job.
Yet it is perfectly respectable to discriminate against whites in the name of "diversity". Does Miss Beasley have any idea how offensive her remarks are to the people of Corby, a town battered by the closure of its steelworks and "rationalisation" at the Golden Wonder crisp factory?
Of course not, she's one of those typical, smug, metropolitan Guardianistas, who despise the white working class.
I don't suppose for a minute it has occurred to her that most of the population of Corby is descended from an earlier wave of immigrants - mainly Scots and Irish, who moved there during the Great Depression to find work in the steel industry.
Or that this kind of crass, insensitive stupidity drives people in despair into the pernicious embrace of the Far Right.
I'm on record as supporting efforts to make the workforce reflect the population from which it is drawn. For instance, I've argued in this column for more black and Asian recruits in the police force in London and our major cities.
When I worked at London Weekend Television, I can remember walking through the building with Trevor Phillips, then my executive producer, now head of the equality commission.
Apart from Trevor, I was aware that pretty much the only other black faces I saw were pushing brooms, serving chips or clearing tables in the canteen.
In a metropolis with a mixed, multicultural population, something was obviously wrong.
Greg Dyke, who ran LWT back then, went on to denounce the BBC as "hideously white" when he became director general of the corporation.
It was an unfortunate choice of words, although he did have a point. And things have got better.
But while I believe in level playing-fields, I don't buy quotas or positive discrimination.
And I certainly abhor the idea of sacking whites from desperately needed jobs in the name of being more inclusive.
As if to illustrate the insanity of the official obsession with the politics of "diversity", one of Trevor Phillips's first tasks in his new job may be to investigate a complaint of racial discrimination against Ann Beasley and the prison service.
You don't stamp out inequality against minorities by deliberately discriminating against the 90 per cent majority, especially in a deprived town such as Corby.
The BNP couldn't hope for a better recruiting sergeant than a stupid, white woman like Ann Beasley.

. It couldn't be that we just have different experiences which have shaped our opinions. My parents haven't lived in a diverse community in over 25 years. They speak of Vancouver and Toronto as though they know everything about them and their opinion is the only one that could be right. The fact that I actually lived in both those cities doesn't lend any credence to my opinions:laughing7: . The immigrants I know have generally brought a lot to Canada with their skills and their money. Even if they haven't integrated well, their children have. I have no doubt that our country will change. All countries do. I just don't think it will be the way my parents think it will.
