What's remarkable is that we have a publicly funded body whose remit is to advise on and enforce the law on equality, namely the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which another publicly funded body (BBC), bound by Royal Charter to be impartial, declines to use for this purpose, preferring instead a political lobby group which isn't an authority on equality law or an authorised adviser to publicly funded bodies.
And even more bizarre is that the same official monitoring advisory and enforcement body (EHRC) was until recently paying money to the same political lobby group for 'advice'. And so was the government unit responsible for equality policy, the Government Equalities Office. You couldn't make it up. Someone did though and while some have drawn back from the absurdity, not the 'we know better than you' BBC, with its army of highly paid HR and associated directors, managers and experts. Why are we, the public, paying for them all and allowing the BBC to spend our money on a political lobby group?
