Mascot Watch (9) - The 4 Play Edition

Our esteemed mascot came out to play with Channel 4 execs yesterday. Amongst other queries, he wanted to know why they claim to be an 'equal opportunities employer' whilst offering bursaries only to certain ethnic minorities.

Watching the clip below, the body language of the Channel 4 delegation suggests that they've never experienced anything quite like it. Davies, on the other hand, appears to rather enjoy embarrassing them with information they willingly provided in their own report.


The Freedom Association add more.

Speaking later on the issue, Philip Davies stated: "I am totally against positive discrimination and think that every job should be appointed on merit, not based on the colour of someone's skin, religious beliefs or sexuality. As an employer I want the best person who can do the job and couldn't care less what their personal attributes are, as long as they are qualified, efficient and responsible."
And, as an employer myself, I would tend to agree.
