A new low for political correctness

The Telegraph reports:

Nicole Mamo, 48, wanted to post an advert for a £5.80-an-hour domestic cleaner on her Jobcentre Plus website.

The text of the advert ended by stating that any applicants for the post ”must be very reliable and hard-working”.

But when Mamo called the Jobcentre Plus in Thetford, Norfolk, the following day she was told that her advert would not be displayed instore.

A Jobcentre Plus worker claimed that the word ”reliable” meant they could be for discriminating against unreliable workers.

I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.
