True, but a Supreme Court decision seems to have entirely bypassed officials in government and in most other areas of decision making.
Enforcement of Equality Law might be thought to be the prime task of a quango called EHRC, but they are perhaps all too busy? They can't bring themselves to mention the protected characteristic of Ageism. And Disability rarely gets their attention, let alone rouses their legal enforcement team.
Once, their spokesperson explained, to a disability campaigning organisation, that the reason they would never interfere in institutionalised Equality offences, (not even to the extent of quietly pointing out to Government Departments that they are in the wrong,) is because "you don't snitch on colleagues".
The pro-bono lawyer representing that campaigning organisation was astonished, because in her country, there are equality lawyers embedded in all central and local government decision-making bodies. That way, indirect sexism or disablism or ageism etc. would be picked up, and averted, in early stages: The side effect of knowing this, was that plans or proposals would normally not even get beyond the back-of-an-envelope first stage, because one of the proposers of the idea would point out the flaw and re-design or drop it.
Apparently, the U.K. equivalent in central and local government is embedded terror of only two things: Unions, and the word 'Racism' (exclusively interpreted as being something only a white skinned person can be guilty of, and only a dark skinned person can be a victim of)
The word 'Racist', with or without the added word 'bigot' is also interpreted as being something of which to be accused is to be guilty. Like the olden days of McCarthyism in USA, with the word 'communist'. Like all times, all over the world, with the word 'witch'. And, like the recent days, all over the 'developed' world, the idea that to be called 'transphobic' is to be guilty and deserving a death penalty, to be carried out, just as 'honour killings' and Fatwas are, by any citizen.
'The Blob' in U.K. is a group- belief, thought-deleted, cause-and -effect- denying, fact- free- decision making, uni-creature, therefore one perfectly designed to be entirely Stonewall-captive.
