Bias in Scarborough Media

People in Scarborough know about the recent two by-elections in the town, in the Ramshill and Stepney wards, but do all the people of Scarborough know about the unfair media treatment of some of the candidates?

How the local press featured one candidate but as soon as the full election line up was announced quietly chose to forget to feature other candidates (apart from listing their names)?

Do the people of Scarborough know that this was purely because a candidate from the BNP was standing in the Stepney ward?

The election was won by the Green Party, but the BNP polled 154 votes, which is very good for the first time the party has contested a Scarborough election (this was roughly 12% of the vote). People in Scarborough are getting sick and tired of the traditional parties with their same, tired old agendas and politically-correct attitudes. The BNP is a new party in the town, but there is alot of public interest.

It is time the local press allowed the public to make up its own mind rather than pushing the agenda of one candidate to the detriment of all the others.

Race Equality?

"Applicants for all vacancies within the Council will be monitored by race at each stage of the recruitment procedure".

How does this ensure "equality"? The council has a tick list with all application forms asking for the applicant to state their race and skin colour. I believe this is tantamount to race discrimination, success with an application should not depend on what box you tick to say what colour you are, it should depend on your ability to do the job in question.

In some cases, being white will disqualify you from a job straight away. More and more places employ a policy of "positive discrimination", meaning that white people will be prevented from progressing with an application, no matter how well suited to the job they are, in favour of "minority ethnic" applicants.

This is disgraceful and blatantly racist. If it was the other way round it would be illegal.

British Priorities

"We're ready to give help - that's what Britain does." So says International Development Secretary Hilary Benn on the recent earthquake in Java.

But what about giving help to the many hospitals which are cutting staff, cancelling operations, closing wards and departments and denying important drugs to cancer sufferers because of lack of funds? If money is instantly available to send to far corners of the world at the drop of a hat, then why isn't it available for our health service here in Britain?

If housing is instantly available for asylum seekers, then why can't this same housing be provided for the many British people who have no roof over their head?
