Reform UK Deputy Leader wants to scrap the Equality Act

Kall

(1) Richard Tice MP Flag gb on X: "We must fire all these EDI woke jobs and scrap the 2010 Equality Act which is so damaging to growth and productivity" / X

I honestly think this lot will come into power in 5 years time, and they want to scrap the equality act, which protects Autistic and other disabled people from discrimination. This means, people will be allowed to treat the disabled anyway they like and employers won't have to accomdate adjustments.

This is dangerous, and I am quite worried if they get in 5 years time, disabled people will suffer.

  • We live in volatile political times. In 2019 Boris Johnson was elected with a majority of 80 seats, which was,at the time, considered to be unassailable at the 2024 election. Five years later and Labour has a majority of 157 seats. In 1964 Harold Wilson is quoted as saying "A week is a long time in politics.". It turns out he way correct.

    It is true that five years is a long time but one should not ignore these so-called fringe parties. They are dangerous ideologues.

    In 2011 had one suggested Donald Trump would be the next POTUS one would have been denounced as crazy or an idiot; or both. in 1956 H. L. Mencken foresaw the likes of Trump when he wrote:

    “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

    Such prescience.

    It is report that Albert Einstein once said or wrote "Two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe," or words to that effect.

    In a couple of weeks the America people may well just vote in a dictator. That Einstein knew a thing or two, didn't he?

    We should all be concerned, not just the disabled.

    Be afraid, be very afraid. (Mel Brooks)

    Trump is definitively a traitor to the American people because he was always a globalist puppet - when he got into power in 2016 after a very bitterly fought election campaign, despite his clearly identifying the “bad actors” he never took any action against those whom he identified as such, while also fooling everyone, as soon as he was in power in the (back then) the most powerful office on earth - now under Biden/Harris the current US regime is the laughing stock of the entire world and a “paper tiger” hiding behind the UN, WEF, etc and is no match for the CCP China and other nations like North Korea and Iran, Israel, etc - Putin of Russia is equally untrustworthy, having done much the same things as Trump
