A rewrite of the Major-General song from the Pirates of Penzance for modern times…
I am the very model of a modern Major-General;
I’ve information radical, irrational, illogical;
I feed it to the Government in fashion categorical;
Who like to foster fear at large in manner mathematical.
The brief was to produce disease from sources quite apocryphal;
And add to it conveniently in order alphabetical;
To meddle with the populace in matters biological;
Animal and vegetable, mineral and chemical.
I am the very model of a modern Surgeon-General;
I’ve information critical, sensational and terrible;
It’s not entirely accurate or even vaguely credible;
I feed it to the press who make it all nicely indelible.
They can be counted on to be quite easily corruptible;
At telling tales to those who are sufficiently susceptible;
And frighten all the readership with stories hypothetical,
Uncritical, improbable, refutable, unethical.
A yarn was plucked from pure thin air of origins zoonotical;
Repeated by the press at large in manner quite robotical;
To set the scene for moves obscene invoking catastrophical:
Endangering all human ties as well as economical.
The lies we told to have our way were truly astronomical;
We had to silence dissidents in ways quite categorical;
And crush the laws without a blink in manner quite emphatical;
Inducing in the populace a state hyper-hypnotical.
The measures were designed to trounce all values hippocratical;
Sanity quite disappeared, or took a long sabbatical;
We couldn’t have our plans undone by cries of ‘that’s unethical’;
And so we instituted steps with methods quite tyrannical.
We set about destroying all the means of the resistance;
Through censorship and ridicule we smeared them with persistence;
But still they came a charging with a singular insistence;
We’d violated all the rules in medical existence.
I am a loyal member of the body sycophantical;
Repeat a lot of nonsense which with ease is controvertible;
I do my level best to stay away from analytical;
And shine when called upon to be sublimely hypocritical.
(Return to top of music score)
I am the very essence of a top Attorney-General;
Whose job it is to navigate the cunning and the criminal;
To hide from public scrutiny the giving of immunity;
By those of us in unity who have total impunity.
(Slow pace)
It never was the role of kings to harm our rights nor clip our wings;
We saw to that when these were freed in 1215 at Runnymede;
Do not repeat the old mistake that tyrants oft perpetuate;
That life you can obliterate, the rest will just capitulate.
There are some other-worldly strengths you do not know nor do possess;
That will out-stride whatever lengths you go to with experiments;
These are our ancient laws, you see, which we embrace eternally;
The Anglo-Saxon tendency to honour our own legacy.

“The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive”.

So, spending six-figure sums on diversity advisors has been effective – if we use the Covid vaccines definition of ‘effective’.
Imagine how much more discrimination of minority groups there would have been if six-figure sums on diversity advisors had not been spent.
That’s the way we’re supposed to look at things these days. Never mind that there were massively more Covid deaths after mass vaccination, compared with before, in Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, as well as increases in Germany, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Turkey, it would have been so much worse if we imagine how even more massive the increase in Covid deaths would have been without the Covid vaccines. (The problem with anti-vaxxers is that they have no imagination.)
Congratulations to all the woke diversity advisors for their great success in preventing a massive increase in discrimination of minority groups – that’s an even greater level of success than the Covid vaccines.
“”the trust saw eight out of 13 assessed measures worsen.”” Maybe they should take a look at their measures and the measurement methodology.
What this evidence clearly proves is that more DEI staff are required. It’s not rocket science is it?
On double the pay.
Oh, most definitely. Quality shyte has to be paid for.
Sorry – couldn’t read the rest after ‘NHS’ and ‘Trust’ – laughing too much.
Is it really intended to reduce discrimination when people are encouraged to look for every possible difference and then treat it as an injustice? Working as intended.
There are obviously many ‘bullshit jobs’ which have been brought into being by the rise of the profesional managerial class. Just remember that this is imposture and they will be nothing in the horror to come. You will be surprised who remains steadfast and who turns out to be a turncoat. Don’t think about it. They will reveal themselves.
The woketards in the NHS are like the woketards in the Civil Service – going their own sweet way and ignoring (admittedly feeble) attempts by Government to stop their money wasting nonsense. Time for he who pays the piper to start calling the tune.
‘Woke’ diversity advisors’ will always find problems because if they said everything was ok then they would be out of a job.
Its what happened when Personnel became HR and then we saw the explosion in Health and Safety, led by ‘make a claim’ solicitors. All adding cost for deminishing returns.
The NHS never miss an opportunity to spend money on anything but frontline staff and equipment
