http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/ As opponents of discrimination, we note that Northern vertebrates whose daily news outlet of choice is Slugger O'Toole, are being denied access to information about employment opportunities due to the British Government refusal to place recruitment advertising on this site. This ban on recruitment advertising discriminates against the sensible community at a time when we are twice as likely to be underemployed as non-internet users. This policy is in direct contravention of equality legislation and betrays the promise of a new era of fair play for all promised in the Good Friday Agreement. We call on the British Government to ensure a level playing field for all by immediately placing recruitment advertising on Slugger O'Toole. Protest direct to British Government demanding this ban be overturned at: privateofficebelfast@nio.x.gsi.gov.uk (Peter Hain) or adreview@ofmdfmni.gov.uk Messages of support: mick.fealty@gmail.com Mon, 12 Sep 2005 19:1:48 CDT en-us 3 http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig4252518 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST How i may contact admin this site? I have a question. iijiivei http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1148897 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Slugger must be allowed to walk down the Queens (information super) highway with its head held high. Therefore it is vital that for parity of esteem Slugger O'Toole has these jobs advertised. Otherwise we will riot and burn cars and kill people and stuff. So there.. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1148492 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST If SLugger recruits for the Brits can one of the job conditions be 8 hours surfing on Slugger a day http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1091070 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Come on, advertise but one of the million Civil service jobs on here!

End this crimination now! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1079000 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Slugger: the club for swingers Slugger: refreshes the hearts that others cannot reach Slugger: floats like a drunk, stings like a newt Slugger: the thinking man's Jimmy Sands http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1078859 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST If it wasn't for Slugger, I'd probably have to work!

For too long we’ve had to suffer this oppressive name. For too long our childhood memories have been tainted with de-recognition.

Anyway, must dash - have to find something to bribe the UVF with. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1078115 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST As a gay man and a gay loyalist I know what it is like to suffer from discrimination due to nothing more than the colour of one's skin. In the spirit of my good friend Steve Biko I say 'no more'. No more will we be still while Slugger O'Toole readers are kept in the dark regarding government jobs. We must rise and throw off the shackles of this blatant attempt to keep the well educated readers of Slugger from rising to the top of the Northern Ireland Civil Service. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1078025 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST If it wasn't for Slugger,I'd have to form my own opinions. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1076665 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Slugger: the thinking man's riot. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1075856 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST End anti-Slugger Discrimination. . http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1075593 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Slugger readers are being discriminated against by the government policy not to advertise on its pages. Slugger readers should refuse to accept second-class citizenship. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1074546 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST As a child and teenager growing up in Belfast {late 90's & 00's} I was unfortunate enough to face the thrice 'overt' tool of discrimination due to being a 'white middle class Protestant {Snabby Awrange ******* as it was put at that time, by aspects of the "community"}. Therefore as an adult I in my own small way have attempted to stand against Inequality, Discrimination, Racism, Sectarianism and many other forms of injustice. This, from whatever side, or from whatever quarter it comes from. Yet this 'policy' though, in relation to the Slugger O'Toole website is, I believe, a throw back to yesteryear. A situation from which many had thought and hoped we had begun to move on from. I would have thought that those of my generation and younger would not have had to witness such similar ‘overt discrimination’ arising once again. It seems to me, watching this situation unfold that we seem in some instances to be going backwards and not forwards. There are no ifs, or no buts about this situation, what is being done here is quite simply wrong and needs to be firmly challenged by all who stand against discrimination. There are enough spides in the civil service. Government jobs for 'snabby fawkers' NOW! (We can be lazy too!) http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/slugger/#sig1074179 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST
