Thoughts?

A brilliant move.

And men are men and women are women too says The Donald.

Take note kneeler, Trump does know what a woamn is even if you dont.

[ToraToraTora]

great, they wste publis money,  encourage "positive" descrimination and lead to lowering of standards. Just hire the best person for any job, simples. Lets hope Tool and the gang take note.

[youngmafbog]

Kneeler wont TTT.  He knows best you know.

[ToraToraTora]

not sure why he's put them on leave though, just give them notice.

[youngmafbog]

Too many P45's to write TTT, needs a bit of time to process them.

Intereting he has also asked for various lists one of which is any movement since November to catch those trying to circumnavigate the sacking and continue with their bile.

Also said anyone continuing it under a differnt guise will find themselves with the old tin tac.

On balance, I think this is a good thing.

We'll simply have to wait and see how it all pans out.

More progressive and great news for the USA. Well done yet again Mr Trump, the diversity industry is/was getting well out of control.

[Clone]

All for it.

They should get a real job, along with the hundreds of thousands of others doing pretend jobs. 

[david small]

Hooray, excellent news. Now do the same thing here.

[perseverer]

Has the president actually thought this through? Is his thinking dominated by the males in female sports issue? Does he not think that there is still a need to overcome discrimination on the basis of race, gender, disabilities and so on?

[ToraToraTora]

No he's saying hire the best person for the job not hire anyone to fill some sort of irrelevant quota. This is not about the men in womens sports issue this is about the endemic diversity quotas in government jobs

[chelle7272]

It's not just about the gender / sports issue. It's also about race.

[Hymie]

I wonder how many of those on paid leave, now realise they have voted themselves out of a job?

[Spungle]

Thoughts?  If only we had someone with a grain of common sense running this country.

[youngmafbog]

I doubt liberals like these would have voted for Trump.

// It's also about race//

No it isnt.  He wants a return to MLK's vision of “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” 

[Hazi-Hammenuhoth]

"He wants a return to MLK's vision of “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,”   Exactly.  A colour-neutral gender-netural society where people are treated according to their merits, rather than race or gender.  That is what most Americans (and I would suggest most British people too) actually want, rather than divisive nonsense.

[Old_Geezer]

Paid leave ? Does he think the US taxpayer is made of money ? Surely those roles have ceased to exist.

[youngmafbog]

I believe its only to the end of the month OG.

Needs to process 100's of P45's.  There are rediculous numbers of them sucking the life out the US taxpayer.

[chelle7272]

// It's also about race//

No it isnt.  

'they will not be judged by the color of their skin'

Er yes, race.
