Firefighters - Absurd Diversity Orders

[JimH]

I quote the first two paragraphs of a story in the Scottish Daily Mail this Morning:-
"Firefighters must now ensure gays do not suffer discrimination while being rescued.
This could lead to them asking whether a homosexual has any particular needs because of their orientation as they are plucked to safety from their blazing home".
This is the start of a story that is clear positive discrimination against the majority.
What do you think - are the politically Correct pillocks of this land DESTRUCTIVE

[Torvaig]

I thought this was March the 1st, not April Fools' Day!

[cuddlepop]

And when exactly would they have time to ask such a question?:confused

[squidge]

Thats just silly and likely to be typical silly tabloid hype.

[Angela]

Just plain silly! :roll:

You can't believe everything you read, can you?;)

[JimH]

It may well be tabloid Hype, but it is attached to a serious story, based on the principle.
It is Political Correction GONE MAD! and positive discrimination.
It has also destroyed the moral fabric of this country.

[scorrie]

And what needs are they likely to have in the middle of a blaze?

It's a total Non-story that will only interest Homophobes.

[JimH]

I've got to agree with you, although I don't know what Homophobes is, but they have followed it up with a story this morning saying that the Police want to recruit more Transsexuals. I not sure what that is either, but it all sounds a bit strange.
The world has gone mad.

Thats OK, If I ever need rescuing from a fire, I want my Firefighter to be Blonde and Female .

Discrimination works both ways I hope ??:roll:

[JimH]

Thats fine, I'm sure the fire and the blonde can be arranged for a small fee!!

[Angela]

Thats OK, If I ever need rescuing from a fire, I want my Firefighter to be Blonde and Female .



oh dear, bothyman, I fear you're discriminating against us brunettes :roll:

[bothyman]

oh dear, bothyman, I fear you're discriminating against us brunettes :roll:

Sorry Angela

I don't suppose it will matter if she is Blonde or Brunette as she will have her helmet on, so I won't know the difference will I :roll: ??

OK. Just make that a Female Firefighter then.

What's a Tabloid please?

[JimH]

The Collins School Dictionary Says :-
Tabloid: (noun) A tabloid is a newspaper with small pages, short news stories, and lots of photographs.

[JAWS]

That must include 'The Times' in that case.
