The already 3,000-employee Care Quality Commission (CQC) is hiring. Hopefully you all know who the CQC is. On its website it explains:
CQC is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England.
We make sure health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and we encourage care services to improve.
We monitor, inspect and regulate services and publish what we find. Where we find poor care, we will use our powers to take action.
So whom do you think the CQC is hiring? Doctors, nurses and healthcare workers with experience to check on the quality of care in our hospitals and care homes? That wouldn’t be too smart as we already have a shortage of doctors and nurses and in care homes a recent health minister decided that any care worker refusing the ‘miracle vaccines’ should be fired. I believe this led to around 40,000 care workers leaving the profession. This then led to a lack of care facilities for people ready to leave hospitals and thus a massive increase in so-called ‘bed-blockers’.
Hey, I’ve just had a crazy idea. From what little I understand, many people in the medical and care-home sector retire early due to health problems – back pain is, I believe, a major issue from constantly having to lift often gravitationally-challenged (a.k.a. fat) people. What if many of these early retirees still wanted to make a contribution? What if they missed the company of like-minded colleagues and would actually rather work than sit at home? Wouldn’t they make ideal CQC employees given they would have spent their working lives in hospitals and care homes? Surely these would be the kind of people the CQC would be looking to hire?
But no, the CQC has other views on its personnel needs. So the CQC is currently looking for a Diversity and Inclusion Officer. The description of the job is quite short:
The role of the Diversity and Inclusion (D and I) Officer will be of critical support to develop and deliver the new Diversity and Inclusion strategy, as well as existing key projects within the Diversity and Inclusion team.
This work is core delivery within the Human Resources (HR) Business Plan and People plan, and will enable colleagues to effectively deliver the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) strategic priorities.
The benefits the lucky candidate will receive is much longer:
- This role will provide experience in organisational change, Human Resources, and working with senior colleagues. We want to support you to succeed and be your absolute best, with opportunities for training and development, along with the support of experienced managers and mentors.
- Your health and wellbeing are important to us and are supported through generous annual leave (starting at 27 days and rising with service to 32.5 days, plus eight Bank Holidays), a cycle to work scheme, discounted gym vouchers and access to a free employee assistance service 24 hours a day.
- We understand the importance of financial health and offer membership of the NHS pension scheme, contributing about 14% of basic salary. You will also have access to discounts for supermarkets, high street stores, electronics, fleet cars, plus an internal reward scheme with vouchers!
- We aim to make working at the CQC a positive experience and we role model [sic] a representative culture of the communities we serve. We therefore support an inclusive environment where colleagues feel empowered to bring their best self to work, with a variety of staff networks that facilitate this; the Race Equality Network, LGBT+ Equality Network, Carers Equality Network, Disability Equality Network and Gender Equality network.
Apparently the CQC believes that a Diversity and Inclusion Officer is just what this country needs in order to vastly improve our medical and social care.
But if you can’t get this important position as Diversity and Inclusion Officer at the CQC, don’t worry. Throughout our useless, collapsing NHS there is a massive hiring spree for similarly utterly pointless people.
Just one of many current examples is the NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit, which is hiring an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Board Adviser. Here’s part of the job description:

We keep being told that the NHS is in crisis and that it needs more and more and ever more money. Doctors, nurses, ambulance workers have been striking for more pay. Yet the NHS is wasting millions or even tens of millions (one estimate puts the figure at £40 million a year) on completely pointless woke, DIE (Diversity, Inclusion and Equality) staff who not only contribute absolutely nothing to our healthcare but actually impede the people doing the real work.
The only crisis at our collapsing NHS is a crisis of incompetence – a crisis of around 35,000 often incompetent managers who haven’t the slightest clue about what they’re paid so generously to do.

Because the globalist blob requires its ideological enforcers to drive the programme.
Health care is secondary.
Equally, the NHS is in crisis so why commit to spending 5% of your health budget every year on national pandemic preparedness, with another X% of GDP devoted to international pandemic preparedness, both of which will be required by Article 19 of the new WHO treaty? https://apps.who.int/gb/inb/pdf_files/inb4/A_INB4_3-en.pdf
And YOU are paying for it. Sucker!!
That’s modern democracy for you. A bunch of people confiscate your money and then use it build and maintain little feifdoms of insanity.
And if you don’t agree with it you’re a bad, evil, selfish person.
“Hi, I’m your new Equality, Social Inclusion, Diversity and Wokery Board Adviser for the Cultural Behavioural Change and Racial Tolerance and Inclusion and Feel Like You’re Belonging Committee….. What am I supposed to be doing again?”
“Get out of the way of the gurney!”
Yep, something along those lines.
It is obvious why – the deep apture of every institution by an ideology designed to obscure and divert in order to best carry out the pillage. It has to be acknowledged and at the next stage understood completely otherwise you won’t find a way out of this malaise.What does it mean to be the opposite of a victim of misdirection?
Read it for what it is. Look upon it from your heart and then translate how it makes you feel. That is because this stuff is in a sense self-consciously anti-human. It sets itself up as the end product of a blind alley and asks to be knocked down. If you listen to your intuition then you will read this for what it is.
They know that the mind is a kaleidoscope. You might remember what you thought in 2002 but do you remember that vibe or rasa. We have lost so much in the last few decades and so much has been rapidly replaced. You have to develop your sense of grounding in order to be able to fight this force the astonishing power of true memory.
The people who will be employed in these jobs will without fail be the most oleaginous snakes you would never wish to meet. Horrible sycophantic nobodies with an horrific streak of bullying. They always manage to upset huge numbers of staff before either being promoted or firkin off to wreck similar damage elsewhere.
As a rule they will have had some behind the coal-face work experience but will have got away from real graft because they couldn’t cut it.
Horrible, horrible specimens and I’ve met loads of them.
Forty years ago money didn’t matter so much in England. You would probably be considered crass for bringing it up. Money is more important now. Just having enough money to pay your rent or mortgage. This ascendancy of money is a reality and has changed the possiblities of our interraction. For me I have no affection for money. I can look back to the times I had more and they were no happier. Don’t ever let them reduce you to a dollar sign.
This is not a way forward. Children demoralised depressed or nihilistic at best. The point is you need to inject the new impulse now. I don’t think that we will be able to do it and avoid our capture and conquest but we have to try. For centuries Christianity sheltered in these islands. It doesn’t matter about your intellect we need to acknowledge the realm of the spirit..
The sense that there is something new and something worth fighting for and developing.

I don’t know any small businessman or self-employed person with Long Covid. Weird..
Post-viral fatigue is a reality but I can tell you that it will continue to be so for a very long time. The prognosis for the next year isn’t very good. We try to stick together.
Your perception of the world interracts with your sense of wellbeing. That is how I would explain the bias towards civil servants.
Just maintain the sense that there is something worth maintaining beyond the nonsense. This is the key thing thing that will see you through.
This is simply a case of people plundering the NHS budget in order to create sinecures for their university buddies or people with the right political opinions recommended by them.
The NHS is supposed to deliver a health service to people paying for that. It has no general political objectives like addressing social inequalities. Insofar this was supposed to be done – a political decision which ultimatively rests with the government – the government and the civil service would be responsible for implementing it, not individual NHS trusts as they saw fit.
If someone can point out a more diverse organisation anywhere in the world, I would happily give them a biscuit.
On the subject of diversity, I wonder just what profile the Diversity Director will be. Why do all dIversity managers appear to have the same four or five boxes ticked.? Is it like acting where you can’t act a role as a quadriplegic, unless you are a quadriplegic..?
Wtf do the people in these pointless non-jobs actually DO all day?
Actively look for minor transgressions from their woke orthodoxy and then ruin the life of the person/people who have committed them.
They are evil, power-mad bullies.
Left wing teachers in our schools churn out indoctrinated children, 50% of whom go onto universities where they receive a deeper immersion in Cultural Marxist policies from the rabidly left wing faculty.
Those left wing drones, clutching their ‘Ology and Arts degrees, are virtually unemployable in a productive, private sector role so they go into the ever-expanding public sector where they need a job which rewards them for their sub-standard degree and where they seldom come into contact with anyone who hasn’t been similarly indoctrinated.
In order to keep expanding the public sector and ensuring that Cultural Marxism is spread to the generations which weren’t indoctrinated from a very young age, the Public Sector creates Equality, Diversity and Inclusion roles.
And this is going to continue because we don’t have a government which has the guts to stop it.
It is difficult to stop an oil tanker. The NHS oil tanker has obviously not even applied the brakes yet so it may be some time till it ever stops. Maybe when the country is bankrupt and a doctor is as rare as a white Rhino.
Where was the interest in representing equal treatment for all those who refused the mandated vaccines? We knew that the unvaccinated did not put anyone else at risk, but the shortage of staff resulting from their dismissal certainly did and still does.
The government has been claiming it is going to stop this for ages.
This for example from June 2022:
https://order-order.com/2022/06/08/sajid-tells-nhs-to-cut-pointless-diversity-and-inclusion-jobs/
It is clear that the whole NHS is completely out of control, and like the rest of government, is no longer following the instructions of elected ministers.
