From the first post: "Southwark's independent equality and diversity panel brings together representatives of different faiths, sexual orientation, cultures and ages to try to ensure that no one is excluded or misunderstood. While this helps to reduce discrimination, there is still room to improve."

I am surprised that no one has seen the inherent humour is the above. Just how many people are in the committee? It reads like some bad comedy..."..do we have someone in a wheelchair--check, old person?-check--should be include the toddlers just because they can't form complete sentences?--I mean we wouldn't want them 'misunderstood' "

It's funny. This thread needs a laugh.
