Your right it just pi&£$s me off when all I see is get into IT everywhere I 
mean if everyone is in IT where the hell am I gonna buy a Burger?

Heres another one that made my blood boil;

A friend of ours has just been laid off by a saddle making company in Walsall 
so like the hard worker he is off he went and got and interview with Centro 
Travel (Nothing to do with us by the way) when he gets to the interview the 
girl looks at his CV and says "Oh you didn't work for Rover then?" "No why is 
that a problem?" "Well we are under instruction to give preferential 
treatment to ex Rover staff"

So heres a guy who wants to work but is penalised because he not a member of a 
group of workers that the government need to get off the books fast.

I don't believe in 'any' positive discrimination my view is if you can do the 
job you can have it.
