White men needn't apply!

Our illustrious Prime Minister wants a woman or an ethnic minority person to replace Sir Gus O'Donnell, the Head of the Civil Service and Cabinet Secretary, when O'Donnell retires in the not too distant future.

No consideration of the best person for the job then. Isn't this a clear example of positive discrimination? Isn't it also racist and also blatant gender-specific sexual discrimination? Aren't all these politically correct and social engineering manoeuvres against the law?

They most certainly 'are' against the law and the PM should know better. Whatever happened to his vision of a happy, open and caring society?
