I was taking a group of building service engineers through the 18th. We were discussing the use of Appendix 5. One chap was very exercised about the BA3 category which is described as utilization-capability-handicapped. He claims the latter word was exorcised from common parlance years ago and would be offensive to many. I am not that politically correct but maybe he has a valid argument,.
What the hell does that mean in any case? Someone at the IET is suffering from an acute case of verbal diarrhea.
Never, ever subscribe to the idea of PC and identity politics. Call it as you see it. A spade is indeed a spade, and a dog born in a stable will never be a horse. Equality? Of what? Opportunity or outcome?
I wanted to be a fast jet pilot in my early twenties but my eyesight precluded the opportunity. Am I suing the RAF for my own biological shortcomings? No! I wouldn't have been able to carry out the required duties to the standard required. Indeed, I may have risked someone els's life as a consequence.
Always take the view that offence can never be given, and can only taken by those third party apologists and offence-takers who make a nice living out of their burgeoning professional grievance industry.
Stay true to oneself, and never doubt.
The likes of those who jump at the merest hint of 'offence' are only in it for the money, and when subjected to hard scrutiny, are generally found to otherwise unemployable.
