The government and anti-equality ideology Save Section 3

This Nasty unpleasant bunch of career criminals called the government are pushing through legislation to regress equality laws the part of the equality act this affects is

the repeal of part 1 s3 General Duty of the Equality Act 2006 and is worded as below

3 General duty

The Commission shall exercise its functions under this Part with a view to encouraging and supporting the development of a society in which—

(a) People’s ability to achieve their potential is not limited by prejudice or discrimination,
(b) There is respect for and protection of each individual’s human rights,
(c) There is respect for the dignity and worth of each individual,
(d) Each individual has an equal opportunity to participate in society, and
(e) There is mutual respect between groups based on understanding and valuing of diversity and on shared respect for equality and human rights.

If this goes through in layman’s terms it will mean:

(1) People’s ability to achieve their potential is limited by prejudice or discrimination.
(2) There is no respect for and protection of each individual’s human rights.
(3) There is no respect for the dignity and worth of each individual.
(4) Each individual does not have an equal opportunity to participate in society.
(5) There is no mutual respect between groups based on understanding and valuing of diversity and on shared respect for equality and human rights.

This would mean that the guy who won an out of court settlement for discrimination would not have had this been repealed and it would no doubt put the brakes on any further claims.

Write to your MP, you can do this very easily and will only take a few minutes via the PCS Union Website below.
