Then it was bank accounts and mortgages

Anybody got a source on this one? I'm out of the loop.

Anyways it'll be interesting to see the right's reaction to this. This seems like the logical extension of the mentality the right applied to the whole "bake the cake" controversy some time ago. If you say that one group of people can and should discriminate because of their values then it'd be hypocritical to disavow such actions when applied by other people.

Obviously this is a shitty thing for the NHS to do, and I do hope it gets revoked or the rulings are undone swiftly, but nonetheless the reaction will be interesting.

Those two things aren't remotely relateable. The people they deem racist or sexist, most likely arent. Those are just buzzwords. Somebody who owns a private business not baking a cake for religious reasons is not the same, as it is protected by the constitution. You can literally call anyone a racist and liberals will buy into it regardless of whether they remotely are.

They seemed pretty related.

Moving the goalpost, and irrelevant. Would you have the same issue with what the NHS is doing if they accurately labeled people as racist? Most likely. So there's no point adding the qualifier that its bad because it's inaccurate (according to yourself)

Those are just buzzwords

Racism and Sexism are just buzzwords? Can I get a citation on that one?

as it is protected by the constitution

Lots of fucked up stuff is protected by the constitution. Just check my other replies ITT about catholic hospitals
