I don't know how wide spread it is (I suspect no one has an accurate figure), but punky was making the point it goes on. He did not mention widespread positive discrimination.

I agree with punky it goes on, I have actually seen it happening. One of my friends, while perfectly capable of doing his previous job, wasn't offered his job until the agency mentioned that he was technically disabled. This was a programming job at the head office of a certain national building society. It has also happened where I work.
