Looking at the NTL managers name made me think if their family originally came from India. Could there be something here that needs looking into by Parliament.
This is only my personal thoughts on this subject so IMPO I think this should be checked by the powers that be to see if there is anything going on that needs stamping out now...

I know I said I would not contribute to this site following the 'revelations' made by the 'team'. I know this posts is 'breaking' that pledged but this post by kitty has got me really very very angry. I will soon be gone for good,so bear with me.
First off Kitty there are already laws that prohibit company execs giving jobs / contracts to friends relatives or companies they are assoiated with, when such decisions are not based on a commercial basis. All company directors of a listed company have a legal obligation to look after shareholders interests. Giving a job or contract to a friend, merely because they are your friend and not because it is in the best interests of the company and their shareholders is illegal. NTL has had corporate governance issues in the past and has called in independent investigators to check them out, but at no time did anyone make it an issue of race. To do so is simply disgusting imo. You are basically saying that people with certain ethinc names are more likely to break the law than those with 'British' names. Disgusting.
To suggest that this is what has happened here, based on someones name is _deeply_ offensive. To the indivdual and to the ethinc group you single out. It is also potential libelous. What your are suggesting here would be a serious criminal offence. Did you wonder about this same need for parliament to investigate and 'stamp out' such actions when call centers were moved to wales or scotland? Did you look for execs called Jones or McReady? Why then do you do so when the movement is to India ?
The legal sending of hard earned money to relatives abroad and the illegal granting of jobs / contracts based on ethnic bias and not on commercial sense are _totally_ different things.
I would have reported this post to the mods here, based on it's offensiveness to the indivdual named, to the ethinic group besmirched and based on it's potential libelous nature but let's face it the mods here are unlikely to follow up such a reporting from myself.
Kitty you owe Mike Bandeira an appolgy as do you gary_580.
