Wrong at least twice. �The workforce in China is not slave. �In many respects,

True, in many cases, those wages are far less than the US or UK. �But, in many

And slavery certainly existed in Adam Smith's day, both in the US and the UK.

I thought that in the U.S. and U.K., anyone can take any job they can get hired
for, at any wage and benefits that they can negotiate.
Does the U.K. have Affirmative Action? �In the USA, you can be hired
by the color of your skin (ancestry / lineage) , even if you get
scored 73 on your essay test.
Using a #2 pencil on the official application can get you into the

We have what's called "positive discrimination".
Of late this has been noticeable in the selection of political
canditates. The central party "parachutes in" some woman/black
person /faggot/cripple/retard.
Shortlists are sometimes produced that are all women.
The locals want a local person often, in some cases there has been a
rebellion & they have refused to accept them. Case in point here for
example:-

A complete waste of time because the public know all the women in
government are selected for what's between their legs rather than
what's between their ears. We regard them with contempt. In B-liars
government there were B-liar's babes, useless scheming bitches to a
woman.

Same with blacks, faggots and the rest.
This Positive Discrimination extends to large organisations too,
especially public funded ones.
Complete load of ********. Part of the PC syndrome.
