Kemi Badenoch wishes all pubic sector organisations to completely ignore E&D and the E&D laws to be scrapped.
She explains very eloquently why and thinks it’ll be a step back to common sense.
I do not wish E&D to be scrapped, anywhere, for any group.
These laws protect everyone and cover a myriad of different things, not just ethnicity, but those who are disabled, women, gays people, for example are all covered.
What is really like to see is “a common sense” approach to the application of these laws and properly rolled out training once a year and laws reviewed to ensure that do safeguard all involved.
Whilst I can see why KB feels this way and expresses her opinions on this well and fairly, I feel it would be a retrograde step back and would possibly cause more problems than it resolves. I think it’s a knee jerk and understandable reaction to the awful events of the last few weeks, including the most recent stabbing in Belfast and people are rightly concerned and anxious.
What do you think?
