This is quite shocking Ellee, employers and their umbrella organisations are going too far here.

I cannot even see the point of maintaining this blacklist even if everyone on it had been found guilty of a crime, the likelihood is, they would never be erased from the list.

At least the law allows for spent convictions.

This is an outrageous attack on civil liberties. One malicious or false allegation and your career could be in tatters.

I agree that ‘innocent until proven guilty’ doesn’t seem to mean much anymore.

So whatever happened to ‘innocent until proved guilty’? Each time i think our society cannot get any more controlling and petty, I’m proved wrong.

I agree with Jean-Luc Picard in that it smacks of McCarthyism – can this actually be LEGAL???

I agree this is awful and very much the same vein as my recent post on public demonstrations!

I don’t like this at all. I can imagine it wil be easy to get on the blacklist and impossible to get off.

It does seem heavy handed, and smacks of McCarthyism.
