Plenty of studies that say it has a real positive effect on a company's profits. Easily searchable. There are a few studies that say otherwise, of course. But even if you could conclusively prove it had no impact at all, it wouldn't be an argument for ignoring it altogether.

No it wouldn’t. I don’t think every good thing needs a science factoid to support it is all. Because if the science isn’t solid it makes support for the good thing less solid.
Also if it were true there’s a few women only or majority black businesses we’d have to tell to hire a few white men and not sure that would go down well.
Was basing off this meta analysis that showed no impact on market performance for gender balanced boards. Not seen as much for race TBF

As a whole organisation it would make sense that having a diverse workforce would give a greater range of experiences etc to draw from when making decisions and coming up with ideas.
Operationally it may be a bit more difficult due to language/cultural barriers etc.

Could you imagine telling a company to hire more white people? There would be fucking carnage and rioting, but not racist towards us oh no no no no

No I can’t really imagine any scenario when I’d say something like that tbh

Go on, imagine it and get angry. And if you're not angry enough we'll make up some more half baked improbable scenarios!!

Probably realised real life was more worthwhile than arguing with nutters on the internet...

Given he was the biggest nutter on here I doubt it

Jokes aside, I was genuinely worried about him.
To go from posting 23 hours of the day down to radio silence must incur some serious withdrawal symptoms.
Feels weird he just dropped off the face of the earth. Probably came back as one of the new argumentative posters with the shitty and unoriginal usernames though!

He last posted on twitter in January some cryptic quote about crossroads - perhaps he auditioned for the remake as Benny and did not get the gig

Have to admit, Paddy McGuinness isn't my idea of a minority...

Always thought that was likely. She's been on a few times and is quite good, but also very personable. In fact I expected her to be in line for the host.

Been watching this since it first aired decades ago. Won't be watching again. Can't stand that McGuinness bloke and his bloody annoying Northern accent!

He's signed a contract, so they want to get their money's worth out of him.
He's as mainstream as they come, too!

So all the bed wetting about sacking sue barker and replacing her with Alex Scott was unfounded. They’ve replaced a women with a middle aged white bloke
Who's shit with a regional annoying accent.
Bleeding clown of a presenter.

Time they canned the shite. Fckn detest it.
Apropos of not much, they first piloted it in the sixties as a sort of 'non-celeb' sports quiz (and much better for it imo). My bro-in-law was actually on it. He was (mainly) a rugby player at the time, and had played for Wales at second-team level, while also playing cricket for Glamorgan, again well below first XI, so was pretty knowledgeable about sports.
Sadly the poor bugger, 81 now, can't remember it as he has vascular dementia.
