Racial discrimination is not supposed to happen in a modern, progressive, liberal society, is it?
So what happens when it is discovered that Scotland Yard deliberately promoted a black bodyguard to a prestigious job because of his race? Are the white bodyguards who missed out given compensation? Well, no. In fact, the black bodyguard has been awarded $70,000 in compensation for being discriminated against because he was “over-promoted”!
Strange times we live in, don’t we? Strange enough for a refugee council in Norway to propose buying camels so that nomadic refugees might feel more at home.

With Blacks, that is not new, 4 odd years ago an Afro American was promoted to manager at Coca-Cola plant in USA, but, he put in a discrimination report because he got the job only for his skin color and not his ability.and wun. Like Scotland Yard, you can pray it is a miss-print, bad news for us is reality has already been lost, so adding a few camels to the bureaucracy as far as Intelligence go, will raise the I Q a few points- We could hope. We can not read a story like that , laugh as a joke,Not any more, it is becoming so sick and a part of our life -and are serious.
Troublesome times ahead.
