Is that a fact or just your view.

ChuckFickens

it's a fact.

there are only discrimination laws in place that cover race, sex, age and disability, there is no overall discrimination law, if an employer decided they didn't want to employ people called Colin then it is clearly discrimination against Colins but there is nothing that could be done about it as no law has been broken.

in the same way, in the eyes of the law there is no such thing as discrimination based on CCJ's
