Council wants its contractors to pay their employees a living wage. Ergo council can't appoint contractors who rely on slave labour. Ergo ethnic minorities, who are generally the lowest paid and most likely to take sub-living wage jobs, may be disadvantaged. Ergo Douglas council are a bunch of racists because they refuse to employ black slaves. I can see why the council are astounded by this. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy is simply an outlandish antipodean buffoon, what is frightening is that a significant amount of Douglas voters bought his rhetoric and put an X next to his name. ETA, this is solely my opinion of him! Edited December 2, 2021 by Will Halsall 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone ever work out who exactly is paying him, and how much, for trotting out re-hashed pieces of common knowledge with the word "BLOWOUT" sandwiched in, on his truly awful MTPA website? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
