Ageism Legislation act_________By Robert Jex.
Age discrimination Legislation was set up to prevent employers from denying older applicants a job because of their age. (Unless there is a required age field) in the case of Mr. Barlow, whether or not the employer was breaking the law is hard to tell, because there is no Idea of what the actual jobs are. If it was an acting job, then perhaps his age was beyond the required field.
And, after being rejected by only a few jobs, his CV alone would have made him an unlikely candidate, as an employer would have seen that many others had seen him as a bad employee.
or, perhaps if the employer had seen that he had sent over a thousand (though this is probably exaggerated) applications to employers, they may have seen this as being very desperate, and so rejected him on the basis that he had already applied to so many other companies.

The fact that he is still in his 50s makes him a very un-likely candidate for anything other than politics, or news reading, as these have no age-limits, and few other requirements.
being rejected at the age of 50 could hardly be counted as a case of ageism, since he is not entirely within the bounds for an ageism case, which is about 60 years and older, though rejecting someone when they are this close to retiring is not uncommon, and a fine loophole in the legislation that allows employers to reject applicants if they are due to retire within their contracts limits. (3-4 years)

Conclusively, I believe that Mr. Barlow is not a victim of ageism, though he seems to think so, and that he is simply pushing charges because he has been rejected too often. That in itself is probably the reason that he was rejected in the first place, after the first few rejections, then that would become evident.
Ageism was put into place to prevent early pensioners being unable to have jobs, and running out of money, so I believe that Mr. Barlow has little or no ground to push charges.
