https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/labour-bans-straight-white-men-at-conference-qqklhfr3w
Labour said that there was no point in straight white men attending because the conferences aim was to elect equalities representatives. The issue comes weeks after the commission said that Labour was guilty of unlawful discrimination for offering Bame members discounted tickets to its East Midlands regional conference. Their dedication to losing elections over and over again is truly admirable. --- Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. -George Orwell ... Copied to Clipboard!

it seems like this is just to fill four 'equalities officer' positions, which are specifically designed for minorities.
so you're literally complaining that a representative specifically designated for a minority position can't be white. i bet you're equally infuriated by minority only scholarships and the like. --- Playing: Dark Souls III (PC), Hollow Knight (PC) (~);} - Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreamin' - {;(~) ...
