Are you looking for a job?

Are you a lazy s.o.b. who can't be bothered to put in even a half-day's work for a full day's pay? Do you habitually show up late, knock off early, and take three hours for lunch?

Have I got a place for you. Go and "work" in Britain.

Apparently, "hard-working" and "reliable" are unacceptably discriminatory across the pond. "Must speak English" is also a no-no (in England!) unless you include "for health and safety reasons".

Reading further, this appears to be a case of one woman's political correctness ran amok. The Equality and Human Rights Commission says "this is in no way in breach of any discrimination law." Big but here: so many people seem to think it is that there have been multiple lawsuits. Which tells me the culture's nearing a tipping point. Even if the judges haven't quite caught up with this galloping idiocy, chances are good that a few are gaining on it.

Hope this doesn't migrate over here...
