Westminster council offers staff chance to take ‘privilege’ quiz
A flagship Labour council offered staff the option to take a “privilege test” in a move to combat unconscious bias against ethnic minorities.
Westminster Council workers are asked to take an online quiz which gives a privilege score based on answers to statements like “I am a white male” or “I have an illness or disability”, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The council said the questions appeared on a Powerpoint presentation from 2021 and do not form “any part of formal policy, training or recruitment process.”
The clues are in the questions so we may as well extend them into the realms of deranged absurdity where they belong -
I frequently travel by private jet +100
I am given free tickets to expensive shows +50
I travel in an armoured limousine +100
I feel oppressed by privilege tests -10
I can't afford to run the central heating in winter -20
I have dandruff -10
I work for Westminster Council -1000

Do you have an unfair advantage in Education/Examinations due to being very intelligent?
Are you white?
I am apparently exempt from immigration laws
The state protects my religion with a special law
I can use toilets designated for both sees
I don't have to turn up for work.
Tammly - two 'yes' answers and it's involuntary redundancy.
Sam - that adds up to about -100 on the privilege scale so it's CEO for you.
Hurumph! Discrimination I call it.
