So Prue Leith is standing down from The Great British Bake Off. She has done nine years and feels it to be “the right time to step back” and “spend summers enjoying my garden”. Her fans and her friends will be sorry to see her go and will wish her well. The only thing they might question is her throwaway justification, “I’m 86, for goodness sake.”
What has that to do with it? Ever since the Equality Act of 2010, various discriminations in employment have been illegal. They included those based on ethnicity, gender, faith and age.
