Opening excerpNew equality laws masterminded by Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman have come into force today, threatening to create a political correctness minefield for recession-hit businesses.
Under the Act, vegans, teetotallers and atheists are to be given the same protection against discrimination as religious groups while gipsies and travellers will get special favours because of the ‘many socio-economic disadvantages’ they face.”

Readers comments from the web site:

Just what has this country come to? High tax levels, draconian new investigations into your affairs, cost of living sky high and now you can’t make a simple comment for fear of recrimination. Whatever happened to ‘sticks and stones...’?

There is no incentive for anybody to set up business in this country, if the government want to push people away they are going the right way about it.

this type of stand needs to be made very day in our hearts

we are in the most serious serious serious spiritual battle of our generation, larger than 9/11

Muslims in the white house, a willing electorate and ignorant voters...we are asking to be judged.

As I thought, the Tories are virtually as bad as Labour. Except for a few interim years under the great Maggie Thatcher, they have been the Me Too party for the best part of a century.

Not even Churchill did much to resist the trend, since he was obliged to ally with Stalin and Roosevelt.

Signs of Life. Maybe some of the good folks on the other side of the pond will organize themselves a Tea Party, hopeful look. Here is a link to a piece on a Tea Party in Sweden -

Smokers!? Heavens no! And cannibals!! Well you must know - they eat MEAT!! The horror!

Funny you should mention that, I came across this courtesy of my whole foods forum, with the ensuing discussion on when the authorities would be coming for the meat eaters.... they are coming for the raw milk farmers, and their customers already...

I have to laugh, when I read over my reply, it occurred to me that the whole cannibal deal just might be their undoing : o They would of course want to respect the values of an ancient culture....but in doing so, would allow the consumption of meat...oh my... what to do, what to do?

Umm...complex issue. In local councils around about 1870 or so. National elections it was just after the first world war (1922 election I think), but there was an age limit that did not apply to men. I think that was rescinded by the late 1920’s (the so-called “flapper” election).
