      Why not? If public sector employers are committed to improving diversity in their workforce (particularly the Prison Service which has a long-standing reputation for institutionalised racism), why deny them a pragmatic step towards achieving that?

      Or would you prefer affirmative action in employment selection?
      What happened to treating people as individuals? Discriminating on the basis of race = racist.

          I'm a bit confused here. Are they moving an actual facility or just firing folks and hiring others? If it's the first why would property values matter if they've already built the facility? If it's the latter why would property values, transport links and general educational level of the population matter? It's up to the employee to pay for his housing and find a way to get to work. Regardiing the general educational level are they confessing to having hired unqualified people? If they already have qualified people who cares what the average educational attainment in the community is? Furthermore, why can't English people commute to work? Here in the US people sometimes commute up to 100 miles to get a decent job.

            Why does the exact percentage of people in a town with a degree matter? Didn't they have qualified people to do the job in Corby? They don't cite incompetence and inability to perform the available tasks in either article.

                  But then they'd have to be in Hull.

                    The Brits already tried that once but the Indians got a bit mad.

                      Corby is well-known as being the largest town in the UK without a railway station.

                        I'd prefer the entire system to be race-blind, personally. It removes any institutional racism without a need for positive discrimination.

                        Don't make the mistake of confusing suitable commercial property values with residential ones. Leicester is amply-provided with business parks, while Corby isn't.
                        True, although business parks aren't the only way to have commercial property. I admit I don't know the details of the commercial property markets there, but I'd be surprised if prices are hugely different. Leicester has a lot more demand for commercial property too, being much bigger.

                              It's not like any of this matters anyway; everyone knows Europe will eventually be an Islamic state run by Imams. A big thumbs up to Britain and their relentless pursuit of self destruction in the name of diversity and tolerance.
