The poisoned heritage of that bloody Labour bitch: Harriet Harpy

The poisoned heritage of that bloody Labour bitch: Harriet Harpy

There will be no more telling jokes on the job in Britain. Humour is a luxury reserved for free countries, not places like Airstrip One under the totalitarian Equality Act:

The legislation, championed by Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman, introduces a bewildering range of rights which allow staff to sue for almost any perceived offence they receive in the workplace.

It creates the controversial legal concept of 'third party harassment', under which workers will be able to sue over jokes and banter they find offensive — even if the comments are aimed at someone else and they weren't there at the time the comments were made.

They can sue if they feel the comments 'violate their dignity' or create an 'intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment'.

A one-off incident is enough to sue — there is no need for the 'victim' to have warned the perpetrator that their comments are unwelcome.

They could even have a case against their employer if a customer or contractor says something they find offensive.

For the rest follow the link.
I'll never employ any bloody "progressive" in my company. I need troublemakers and lawsuits like a hole in the head.
