A Victory For Common Sense

Oh well, it is New Year's Day morning, and I thought I'd have a quick glance at the newspapers on line. I was hoping things might be a little different, a good start hopefully to this brand new year. And then I came across this article, here are some snippets:

A park ranger sacked for asking a black colleague if he 'put polish' on his legs has won £40,000 compensation after a judge ruled that skin colour is a 'fact of life'.

Michael Farmer said he was branded racist and even falsely accused of being a member of the British National Party after making the comment.

Lambeth Council sacked him under its 'zero tolerance' policy on racism after two disciplinary hearings.

But employment judge Lindsay Hall-Smith has ruled that he was unfairly dismissed, saying: 'An individual's race or colour is a fact of life. It does not follow that alluding to such matters to or in the presence of the individual concerned necessarily involves racism or less favourable treatment of the individual.'

The judge, sitting at the Croydon Employment Tribunal, described how an incident on May 7, 2008, had led to the dismissal of 52-year-old Mr Farmer.

He said there was 'a significant amount of banter exchanged between the staff about a black member of staff, Dwight Parker, who had arrived at work wearing shorts for the first time in the year'.

The judge said the switch to shorts 'usually provoked humorous comments', and one woman, Diane Nash, even wolf-whistled at Mr Parker when he arrived.

Mr Parker claimed he heard Mr Farmer say: 'Dwight, what are you doing putting polish on your legs?'

When he realised that Mr Parker was 'not the least amused by his comment', Mr Farmer followed it up by saying: 'Well, I have to use sun tan lotion if I want a tan.'

About time we had some common sense from these tribunals. It might put an end to all that tip-toeing of white people around ethnic minorities, the dreading of saying the wrong thing, or to be more precise, the dreading of those words being misinterpreted either through the wish for financial gain, or just plain ignorance of the dominant culture. As it will cost you your job and your reputation, and quite possibly a criminal record.

If ethnic minorities want to know why white people often seem a little distant, a little stand offish and hard to get to know, just think about what I've just said, maybe it isn't racism after all. Maybe you just better stop running to your boss or tribunals at the drop of a hat, and grow some thicker skin, no matter what colour it is?

Mr Farmer, a married father of two from Catford, South-East London, carried on working for four months but was finally fired after a second disciplinary hearing chaired by council official Kyron Peters-Bean, whose title is Head of Resilience, in September 2008.

Its report concluded that 'the most concerning aspect of the investigation' was claims by two other rangers that 'this was not the first time Michael Farmer had made statements of this nature'.

But the employment tribunal found no evidence that Mr Farmer had made racist comments before.

The judge said: 'The tribunal found it disturbing that the prejudicial conclusions of the investigatory process appeared to be founded upon allegations which had never surfaced during the interviews.'

The tribunal found that Mr Peters-Bean was not a 'convincing' witness and was 'evasive' when cross-examined about how much he had taken into account Mr Farmer's alleged membership of the BNP.

The judge said: 'We were driven to the conclusion that the disciplinary hearing failed to maintain an objective approach to the serious allegation against the claimant.

'The disciplinary panel had made up its mind that the claimant was going to be dismissed. . . and failed to give any consideration to any other sanction.'

Mr Farmer, who has previously set up a black youth community football team, said the idea he was racist 'was the antithesis of what I stand for'.

''What chance do I have as a middle-aged man getting another job in a recession?'

I think it is quite clear that an example was to be made of Mr. Farmer, he was to be sacrificed on the alter of multiculturalism regardless of the consequences for him, or his family.

This was nothing short of a witch hunt, a few centuries ago he would have undoubtedly been burned at the stake for heresy on the same kind of trumped up charges. In fact the way things are going it may go that way once again.

We may not have a Witch Finder General any more, but I can assure you that there are many many Head's of Resilience like Mr. Kyron Peters-Bean and other weirdly titled persons; it is exactly the same practice, but under a different title and for a different cause.

This totally inept jobsworth, and some would say vindictive Head of Resilience has just cost the tax payer £40,000 and a good man and his family months of anguish, I hope that Lambeth Council will now do the right thing and dismiss him, as if they don't it might be construed that they were complicit in this deceit and persecution, which does not bode well for public confidence, or for those much vaunted Community Relations.

Words associated with Christianity and British history taken out of children's dictionary.

Oxford University Press has removed words like "aisle", "bishop", "chapel", "empire" and "monarch" from its Junior Dictionary and replaced them with words like "blog", "broadband" and "celebrity". Dozens of words related to the countryside have also been culled.

The publisher claims the changes have been made to reflect the fact that Britain is a modern, multicultural, multifaith society.

But academics and head teachers said that the changes to the 10,000 word Junior Dictionary could mean that children lose touch with Britain's heritage.

"We have a certain Christian narrative which has given meaning to us over the last 2,000 years. To say it is all relative and replaceable is questionable," said Professor Alan Smithers, the director of the centre for education and employment at Buckingham University. "The word selections are a very interesting reflection of the way childhood is going, moving away from our spiritual background and the natural world and towards the world that information technology creates for us."

An analysis of the word choices made by the dictionary lexicographers has revealed that entries from "abbey" to "willow" have been axed. Instead, words such as "MP3 player", "voicemail" and "attachment" have taken their place.

Lisa Saunders, a worried mother who has painstakingly compared entries from the junior dictionaries, aimed at children aged seven or over, dating from 1978, 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007, said she was "horrified" by the vast number of words that have been removed, most since 2003.

"The Christian faith still has a strong following," she said. "To eradicate so many words associated with the Christianity will have a big effect on the numerous primary schools who use it."

Ms Saunders realised words were being removed when she was helping her son with his homework and discovered that "moss" and "fern", which were in editions up until 2003, were no longer listed.

"I decide to take a closer look and compare the new version to the other editions," said the mother of four from Co Down, Northern Ireland. "I was completely horrified by the vast number of words which have been removed. We know that language moves on and we can't be fuddy-duddy about it but you don't cull hundreds of important words in order to get in a different set of ICT words."

Anthony Seldon, the master of Wellington College, a leading private school in Berkshire, said: "I am stunned that words like "saint", "buttercup", "heather" and "sycamore" have all gone and I grieve it.

"I think as well as being descriptive, the Oxford Junior Dictionary, has to be prescriptive too, suggesting not just words that are used but words that should be used. It has a duty to keep these words within usage, not merely pander to an audience. We are looking at the loss of words of great beauty. I would rather have "marzipan" and "mistletoe" then "MP3 player."

How sad such beautiful and meaningful words are deemed unecessary. Social engineering is alive and well it would appear. Little by little.....inch by inch.....

I noticed this in the comments, and considered it thought provoking;

As George Orwell pointed out, the aim of NewSpeak was to continually destroy words so that heretical thought, so far as it was based on language, became impossible.

David Crystal states in Chapter 4 of his book entitled 'The Fight For English'

A linguistically or dialectally diverse nation needs a standard language to permit mutual intelligibility.

However one must recall the last lines in Orwell's 1984 to sum it up:

"He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark mustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."

The multicultural dream, or experiment if you are of that disposition, failed, so why pander to something that failed.

But academics and head teachers said that the changes to the 10,000 word Junior Dictionary could mean that children lose touch with Britain's heritage.

Isn't that the desired result, and what this is all about?
