English girl barred from Government job...because she is wrong kind of white

.... The ad says "We are aiming to address the under representation of ethnic groups in these positions within the organisation. Applications are encouraged from people of the following descents. Asian, Indian, White other (e.g. Irish, Welsh, Scottish, European), African, Caribbean, or of Mixed Race origins."

She can't read all that well. I wouldn't have hired her either.

A teenage science student has been banned from applying for a training programme with the Environment Agency because she is white and English.

The recruitment agency handling the scheme told Abigail Howarth, 18, that there was no point in her submitting an application because of her ethnic background.

But bizarrely she could have applied if she had been white and Welsh, Scottish or Irish.

Abigail, who wanted to join the Agency's flood management programme, saw an advert in a local newspaper offering positions in the Anglia region where she lives, complete with a ?13,000-a-year tax-free grant.

Since the family of ducks that raised you may not have been completely in tune with the British media, I'll just let you know that the Daily Mail (or Daily Outrage, as I like to think of it) is not known for it's balanced, unbiased reporting. It's a staunchly right wing, nationalist newspaper. Wouldn't surprise me if they funded the BNP, in all honesty.

I have never in my life come across an unbiased and balanced news source.
