Not so Disability Confident...

DWP faces nearly 60 disability discrimination tribunal cases in 20 months

Bear in mind that the Department of Work and Pensions doesn't just hold Disability Confident Leader status, which commits it to working with disabled employees to retain them in employment, and to continual self-assessment on how it can do it better, it's the architect and coordinator of the whole damned scheme!

And those nearly sixty claims overlap the period when the Tories were charging for bringing an Employment Tribunal case, and extra for discrimination cases, which the Supreme Court struck down as unlawfully discriminatory, which had resulted in a massive reduction in bringing ET cases. Given the time limits on bringing an ET case (BTDT), I'd guess the true figure should be at least double.

And the article has comments by yours truly.

I was utterly boggled by DWP tweeting today that Disability Confident can help you keep disabled employees in their positions. They truly have no shame.

I think you have a footnote problem...

Continuing my reading of Friedman's Naval Anti-Aircraft Guns and Gunnery: 'Hmm, I know this is the last chapter, but I'm only 67% of the way through, there must be a big data annex or something'.

Nope, main text ends at 67%, the remaining 33% of the book is the footnotes. I knew there were a lot of them, and with a kindle it's easy-ish to navigate back and forth, but a third of the wordcount, seriously?

His research is immaculate*, but his editors need to stage an intervention. Eight page footnotes (I'm not exaggerating) need to be in the main text.

I'm still happy I bought it, but it's disappointing that he just stops the narrative dead at the end of his time period. There's no attempt to sum up, conclusions or whatever.

*Interpretation maybe not so much, I've seen some comments pointing out he isn't as rigorous with the USN as the RN, accepting uncorrected USN figures, even when the real Japanese loss rates, produced by checking Japanese records, have been available for a couple of decades. And even within the text there are issues: "The USN didn't use RN-style barrage fire" - You just bloody described them doing precisely that!!
