Liddle’s Law of Corporate Bigotry
The more politically correct an organisation, the more likely it is to be staffed at the top exclusively by self-flagellating white liberals.
Sunday Times columnist Rod Liddle promulgates this law in an article entitled ‘Sir Ian of the Yard gets mugged by his PC brigade’. Noting the legal action being brought against Sir Ian Blair, Metropolitan Police Commissioner, by his assistant Tarique Ghaffur for racial discrimination, Liddle points out that under current legislation a racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person. “It’s no use Blair saying that he didn’t discriminate against Ghaffur . . . Tarique thinks it was racist; ergo, it was racist” says Liddle.
Liddle notes that Blair has been “rigorous in enforcing bovine and dangerous political correctness on his force” but obviously didn’t think the rules applied to the top brass. In making that fatal assumption, Blair was similar to the boss of another large organisation, the BBC, whose one time Director-General, Greg Dyke, memorably described his employees as “hideously white”, failing to note that he and nearly all of his senior management fitted exactly that description.
