“Socialism in a single clause”: Public sector equality duty seminar
10 February 2011
1 Crown Office Row barristers’ chambers is presenting a seminar on the public sector equality duty on 3 March 2011 at 5:30pm. The new and wide-ranging duty comes into force on 6 April 2011.
There are a limited number of free tickets available to readers of this blog who are also lawyers or work in the public sector. All details are below.
Update – we have had a fantastic response since this morning and as a result the places available to readers of the blog have now been filled. We will, however, be producing a podcast of the seminar. You can download our previous seminar podcasts from iTunes by clicking here.
I have long held the view that Eric Blair succinctly summed up socialism in a single sentence: “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.”
His comment on the USSR: “…. ceaseless arrests [for the purpose of harvesting SPDs i.a. for sale by ACPO, anyone?], censored newspapers [maybe not quite yet], prowling hordes of armed police [Heathrow, anyone?]” is. sadly, becoming alarmingly apposite here and now.
