As you've probably discerned, I'm not a great fan of diversity despite being constantly assured of its endless benefits. Mind you for some strange reason those benefits are never actually spelled out in any detail. Which is leading an increasing number of people to wonder whether anyone actually does benefit. In fact I can assure the doubters that many indeed do. Specifically those engaged in the law, prison and immigration industries.
This from the Irish Independent:
"A man who took part in imprisoning, stripping and beating Innocent Wilson because he wanted to teach him a moral lesson for entering his girlfriend's bedroom has been jailed for six months. In Dublin Circuit Criminal Court Judge Sarah Berkeley sentenced Lucky Shaka (24) to two years' imprisonment, but suspended the final 18 months."

I can just imagine the scene in court
State Prosecutor: 'Mr. Shaka, you are facing serious charges. Are you innocent or not?'
Shaka 'No, I not Innocent, I Lucky'. Pointing at Wilson 'He Innocent'
State Prosecutor: 'So you are not innocent?'
Shaka: 'No, I not Innocent'
State Prosecutor:'Judge, I rest my case'
And then there's the case of the Nigerian employed by an Irish hotel as a Food and Beverage Manager - 'in effect the second most senior management position in the hotel'. The owners must have seen him as quite a catch, possessing as he did a degree in Catering from Lagos University (his Shank Of Missionary being a mouth-watering speciality). Unfortunately - and totally unexpectedly - some problems arose shortly after recruitment. Like spending months at a time out on 'sick leave', having a difficult time with biased and racist colleagues, threatening to strangle the hotel manager. And showering fellow employees, diners and their food with a virulent strain of the TB bacterium.
His lengthy appeal was of course funded in full by the Irish taxpayer.
So yes, the law and immigration industry do benefit from diversity. And who does not benefit? Well just about everyone else really.
