DOesnt the laour party have a postive discrimination policy when it come to selecting parliamentary candidates?
Yes they positively discriminate in favour of their private secretaries and research assistants oh and old school chums....a bit like the tories and liberals really
The party will take action in all selections
to encourage a greater level of
representation and participation of
groups of people in our society who are
underrepresented in our democratic
institutions. In particular, the party will
take positive action to ensure that
considerably more women and ethnic
minority candidates are selected.
In their rule book bloody lefties.

No positive action to help working class men and women into Parliament then? I believe they are now a minority in the House of Commons.

There still remains the unwritten rule that any of the minorities being promoted should be anointed by a sitting member preferably a member of the N.E.C.....oh and have the usual oxbridge degree in ppe
it sounds as if you can show your preference, but you can't show discrimination. although either can produce the equivalent result.
leaving it up to the legal profession to assist those who feel offended.
which i think in the end would simply involve a toss of the coin as to who could be bothered to follow it to a conclusion, and if it was cost effective enough to warrant doing.

I believe the difference between a hotel & a B&B is a B&B only serves breakfast whereas a hotel will serve breakfast along with dinner. For this case if it was a hotel or B&B is completely irrelevant.
Second positive discrimination is primarily seen in employment. Most common case would be in the area of job application / job promotion. As I understand it, positive discrimination happens if you have two applicants that are equal and the only difference is one of them falls into a protected class (e.g. race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or age). In that case you can choose the person who falls into the protected category over the applicant and use that reason as your basis for selecting them. However when you look at this story positive discrimination is not applicable.
At least for me, I agree with the judge and feel it is the correct decision. If a judge ruled against the gay couple it would set a dangerous precedent whereby other hoteliers could discriminate against customers on other basis and in the extreme situation it could create chaos when it comes to booking a hotel room since your reservation could be rejected solely on the basis the person did not like you. Also, I believe religion is not defence for all actions and you must be willing to try to get along with all people. In this case, if the owners did not want to have gays staying at their business then they should have found another business that was more in-line with their beliefs.

the thing is though, when you book into a hotel or even a b/b, you don't normally get asked questions.
so i can't help but think the two gay guys must have gone in there with an attitude, and made it more than obvious.
whereupon the creepy christians went into retaliation mode.
A double room was booked and two men arrived to occupy it. I doubt anything needed to be said for the owners to decide they didn't want to offer any hospitality to their guests.
