Just listening to Iain Dale's radio programme on LBC which is covering this issue. Apparently it's now illegal to ask if your prospective employee is in good health or to advertise a vacancy using terms like 'ambitious', 'dynamic' etc.

What's wrong with wanting to employ someone who's ambitious and in good health and what's the point of making employers who do so jump through these silly hoops? If an employer is seeking attributes he/she can't ask questions about surely they'll simply not offer jobs to those they feel don't meet the criteria without the interviewee ever getting a chance to persuade them. How does that benefit anyone?
