A leisure centre in Grays, Essex, has been forced to withdraw a blatantly anti-white promotion after it was revealed that whites were being charged 60 percent more to go on its lifeguarding course than non-whites.

Mike Baden, chief executive of Impulse Leisure — which runs the leisure centre — admitted his firm was offering 60 percent off the course fee to people from ethnic minorities backgrounds because it is “committed to equal opportunities.”

A Thurrock mum, who asked to remain anonymous, spotted the advert for the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification course, on a noticeboard at Blackshots Leisure Centre, in Blackshots Lane, Grays.

She had planned to send her daughter, who is white, on the course, but changed her mind because she could not understand why she should pay more than someone from another ethnic group.

The leisure centre has now taken down the notice, as the course, which started in July, has finished.

Baden said: “Impulse Leisure is committed to equal opportunities. However, people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds continue to be underrepresented in our organisation. We have identified we have a lack of employment applications from black and minority ethnic groups, possibly because we have basic entry level requirements for job roles, such as the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification. As a way of potentially boosting applications from black and minority ethnic groups, we have a policy of providing discounted rates to encourage the attainment of this qualification within these groups.”

Why don’t you call or email Impulse Leisure and tell them what you think of their anti-White policies?
