It’s now apparently acceptable to accuse the Royal Family of being ‘terrible white’ or ‘too white’. In fact, it’s not only acceptable, but saying this makes one a courageous, outspoken hero for the BBC and the progressive Left. So, I assume it would also be acceptable for me to suggest that our beloved NHS may be ‘insufficiently white’.
Let me explain. Our collapsing NHS seems obsessed with hiring DIE (Diversity, Inclusion and Equality) managers. The apparent purpose of these wonderful people is (to quote just one of many similar job ads) “ensuring our workforce reflects the communities and patients we serve in order that we can meet the needs of our diverse communities”.
So, let’s do a quick check on how well current NHS staffing “reflects the communities and patients we serve”.
Of the NHS’s 1.3 million employees, 74.3% are white compared to 80.7% of the working-age population and 87.1% of the total population; 12.5% are Asian compared to 10.1% of the working-age population and 6.9% of the total population; and 7.4% are Black compared to only 4.4% of the working-age population and 3.0% of the total population.
Between 2009 and 2022, the percentage of NHS staff who were white went down from 84.1% to 74.3% and the percentage of NHS staff who were Asian went up from 7.3% to 12.5% – the biggest increase out of all ethnic groups
The first conclusion is that the NHS actually has a greater percentage of employees from ethnic minorities (25.6%) than in the working-age population (20.2%) and than in the general population. So, if the NHS is going to reflect the communities it serves, as it claims it wants to do, then clearly the NHS should employ more white people and fewer Asian and black people.
But, you say, aren’t most of the NHS ethnic minorities doing the more menial jobs while evil, ghastly white supremacists take all the top, best-paid jobs?
Well, here are the figures.
For professionally qualified clinical staff, only 68.7% were white compared to 80.7% of the working-age population and 87.1% of the total population; 15.9% were Asian compared to 10.1% of the working-age population and 6.9% of the total population; and 8.0% were black compared to only 4.4% of the working-age population and 3.0% of the total population.
Let’s just do one more category – qualified doctors: a mere 50.1% were white compared to 80.7% of the working-age population and 87.1% of the total population; an impressive 32.0% were Asian compared to 10.1% of the working-age population and 6.9% of the total population; and 5.9% were black compared to only 4.4% of the working-age population and 3.0% of the total population.
All these figures and many more are available on the Government website.
In summary, among all staff and in particular medical staff, white people are under-represented, Asians are hugely over-represented and black people also score well compared to their part of the working age and general population. Given the under-representation of whites compared to their share of the working age population and general population and the over-representation of Asians and blacks, some people might find it somewhat mysterious that the NHS spends an estimated £40.7 million a year, according to the Taxpayers Alliance, on over 810 DIE (Diversity, Inclusion and Equality) specialists and is currently busy hiring even more of these unnecessary people on salaries that our struggling NHS can ill-afford.
Coming back to the question that nobody nowadays would dare ask, ‘Is the NHS insufficiently white?’ – the official figures from the U.K. Government suggest the answer, according to their own terms, can only be ‘yes’.

My house is for sale and has a poor energy rating as it is old. We are looking to downsize and release some capital. It has been on the market for 2 years and not yet sold. So, if I understand this correctly, I would have to borrow money to insulate my home (9 inch solid walls – so good luck with that) just so I can continue to keep it on the market? As a small c conservative, I despise The Conservative Party and all that it stands for. I hope all their MPs rot in hell.
Yeah, we have single walls – 1929 first tranche of social housing, huge great house with a huge great garden. Oil central heating, but we only use that if it is brass monkeys when we get up; else it’s the woodburner, with wood from the local estate. So a fortune to be spent on cladding, for a heating system that doesn’t work.
WTFFFFFFFFF?
The woodburner will also mean 12 months at His Majesty’s Pleasure – might as well use a council employee as Biomass
And when the sheeple have installed heat pumps something else will be introduced which will criminalise a further tranche of the population and so it will carry on until the uniparty has confiscated ALL private dwellings.
Yes Hux.. you are exactly right. This is not about climate, planet or any other bull$hit they’re trying to make stick. Its about total control of you and your assets, and if you don’t play ball they will take/confiscate your assets, your main one of course being your house.
It will be classed as a stranded asset and un-liveable because it will regarded as harmful to the environment. I knew this was coming here because of the goings on in France where I live. They’ve been pushing this for over a year now, with a definite aim of getting people out of the countryside. However, until people rise up and say no.. these parasites will keep pushing, as its obvious to anyone with eyes to see that the pace is quickening as each day passes. Fuel prices going up at the same time, as we go into winter.. what a coincidence..
This is troubling, my wife and I are planning to move to France again next year. Lived in France for 10 years previously. Would you mind if I PM’d you with a few questions? Mark
You will rent everything and be enslaved.
I will not be renting and neither will I be enslaved.
“I hope all their MPs rot in hell.”
To be dispatched thither post hast.
Think I’d prefer them to be roasted permanently in hell that way they’d be using more energy but there again perhaps the irony would be lost on them.
I have to inform you that a property that has been on the market for two years is overpriced.
You know that, I know that. You’re more than welcome to have a word with Mrs A….
Yes surprised the Estate Agent hasn’t suggested a drop in price. My Partner has sold had to drop her original asking price by 60K in order to get a sale (which has happened).
I am sorry to hear about that. —–These parasites are NOT Conservatives. They are eco socialist SCUM.
If your house has solid walls you’ll have to fit secondary interior walls, thus reducing the size of the rooms, so you can have insulation between the 2 walls. In an old house the radiators and pipework won’t be big enough to provide any amount of warmth with a heat pump. Your whole house will need to be gutted to fit new plumbing. Achieving a C rating for energy efficiency is likely to cost north of £20,000, but what’s the problem? Just use the government’s magic money tree (magic money forest to pay for net zero as the cost will make the amount wasted on covid look like small change).
The Conservative Party must be utterly destroyed if we are to save Conservstism. We must all strive to play our part to realise this essential task.
Sadly I live in a constituency where you could pin a blue rosette on a donkey and it would get elected. The current MP proves the point.
This foolish descent into Net Zero is bad enough given the damage it will cause the Western World. It’s made even worse by the fact that it won’t change a thing, climate-wise. Beneficial live-giving gas CO2 in trace concentrations is NOT the cause of what little man-made climate change exists.
The Mainstream Media are silent on these facts and they will bear much of the responsibility of the genocide that will follow if we keep spending trillions on the madness that is Net Zero.
Regarding heat pumps: The whole-house heating/hot water heat pump systems designed to replace traditional gas boilers are worse than useless for most existing UK homes. They only warm the water, they don’t HEAT the water. So, each home must also have an old-style electric element heated hot water cylinder as well in order to get hot water. They cost a lot more than a traditional gas boiler to run. They need special radiators or underfloor heating installed.
There IS a class of heat pump that is very inexpensive to buy and install and is fairly cheap to run…these are the wall mounted air conditioning/heater units. They’re great for bungalows with an open plan living/dining/kitchen floor plan. Put one in the living room, one in the main bedroom and you’re set. Unfortunately the government’s £5000 grant doesn’t apply to them. Presumably because they work.
I agree. The data and science supporting the assumption that CO2 emmissions from burning fossil fuels is the primary driver of climate change needs a proper public examination.
Short and long term, no correlation between CO2 and temperature. Stretches of 30 years of correlation or so are statistically utterly insignificant.
Yeah.. its a lie.. complete and utter bull$hit..
“proper public examination.”
No it doesn’t. Co2 has nothing to do with non-existent AGW.
“This foolish descent into Net Zero is bad enough given the damage it will cause the Western World.”
You – and many others – need to understand that that is the whole purpose, and is being inflicted on us by WEF puppets such as Sunak and Castreau.
Aux armes, citoyennes!
Yes, my parents live in the countryside and have one of those. Seems to work well.
CO2 =WEALTH. NOT CLIMATE ——–The wealthiest emit the most since they have the biggest house, use the most energy, drive more cars, fly in more planes etc etc. The poorest emit the least. ——What better way to redistribute the worlds wealth than by penalising the richest people and countries and redistributing that wealth to the poorest people and countries.————Eco Socialism pure and simple. ——And if you dare to disagree they will lock you up.
It’s not about the climate. It’s about transferring wealth from the middle classes to Big Business and their chums in the Westminster Uni-Party, and the 3rd world.
Oh and control.
Oh and killing you.. all part of the depopulation agenda..
Hadn’t the lower income classes to purged of their meagre monies and assets to enrich and expand the middle classes?
So that’s what all those super prisons were built for.
Well there is no way we will install a heat pump, so off to the nick for us. Time for some reading, telly, gym and all at the taxpayers expense.
See you there. We just had a very reasonably priced and efficient gas boiler installed. That and the wood burner will keep us toasty all winter, until we get locked up I guess.
Remember when ‘you will own nothing and be happy’ was a conspiracy theory?

To quote Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
We have been told how to deal with this, and its enforcer class.
The reading of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is an absolute must for the free thinking.
Yes. After years of putting it off, the good Dr. Peterson convinced me I must read The Gulag Archipelago. So I did. In the full, three version edition. Unputdownable, I gobbled them up.
If you haven’t, it is indeed an absolute must.
Lockdown for this bibliophile gave me the oppo to dive back into the classics. Read Paradise Lost (magnificent), Ulysses (same), Dante’s Divine Comedy, translated by the late lovely Clive James, who I had the good fortune to meet all of 40 years ago, and chat to for 15 minutes, The Iliad and The Odyssey, and finally, the Old Testament.
The lesson learnt?
I need to read them all again!
Gulag Archipelago
He’s actually telling us what would have worked , but it didn’t & it won’t ! Alek actually lived it & it’s happening again only on a Global scale ! They’ve had practice
My response to all this is an Anglo Saxon F.O.
Everyone should stop paying taxes.
I downsized and simplified my life to do just that. It’s far less stressful and quite enjoyable depriving the f’wits in Government of as much of my money as I possibly can.
YES
They don’t need taxes.. if they need cash they print it. There’s a reason the UK’s 2 Trillion and counting in debt, and that’s just the visible stuff. And who issues the debt we ask.. ah yes.. banksters, who magic it out of thin air and charge interest on it.
Let’s start the mass jailings with all the MPs who haven’t yet installed heat pumps at their own expense. And then any other MPs who voted for this abomination. And then everyone else in the Palace of WEFminster and Whitehall. And then move on to regional/local government officials. And then…
The answer is mobile gallows.
I’ll chip in. Or pull the lever if required.
So this is why they removed the cross piece from lamp posts….it wasn’t aesthetics, it was self preservation.
I’ll hold your jacket…
A few thousand AK47’s wouldn’t go amiss either..
Go long on piano wire…
Not sure how this could work for Victorian/Edwardian house dwellers, of which there are many. Forget preserving those character traits if you need to install insulated cladding on the outside – unless of course you have to insulate it from the inside.
Whilst I don’t want to underestimate the ability of politicians to try and implement policies that are both stupid and wicked, it’s hard to see this one not being met with significant resistance.
Full disclosure: Edwardian house, double brick walls with no insulation, single glazed windows, gas boiler plus a wood burner. Outer London.
You will be inside very quickly then! Khan hates you.
They’d better start building gaols.
Already done.. Four super prisons that will take tens of thousands. I’ve no doubt they’ve got their own crematoriums too.. just in case you have died suddenly episode after your 5th winter booster..
Worth stopping by Alex’s twitter channel.
‘the penalties relate to the requirements to produce an energy performance certificate – there is no requirement for property owners to meet net zero’ @ThinkingSlow1
He has some very good points on this despicable Bill amongst other things
Where will the heat pumps for tge Palace of Westminster go and for Number Ten.
They need to have sharp corners and be shoved where the sun doesn’t shine.
Simple, force those in favour to desist, if necessary by lethal force.
They want to kill us through cold, they must expect us to respond in kind.
Has that Next Tuesday Chuckles got all his palaces fitted with heat pumps and all boilers removed?
He lives with one

Local enforcers can be easily defeated. We only need to permanently disable enough to make it a job that nobody wants to do.
KINGS Britain has, but they are as her tyrants: she has judges, but they are ungodly men: engaged in frequent plunder and disturbance, but of harmless men: avenging and defending, yea for the benefit of criminals and robbers. They have numerous wives, though harlots and adulterous women: they swear but by way of forswearing, making vows yet almost immediately use falsehood. They make wars, but the wars they undertake are civil and unjust ones. They certainly pursue thieves industriously throughout the country, whilst those thieves who sit with them at table, they not only esteem but even remunerate. Alms they give profusely, but over against this they heap up a huge mountain of crimes. They take their seat to pronounce sentence, yet seldom seek the rule of right judgment. Despising the innocent and lowly, they to their utmost extol to the stars the bloody-minded, the proud, the murderous men, their own companions and the adulterous enemies of God, if chance so offers, who ought, together with their very name, to be assiduously destroyed. Many have they bound in their prisons, whom they ill-use with weight of chains, more by their own fraud than by reason of desert: they linger among the altars in the oaths they make, and shortly afterwards look with disdain on these same altars as if they were dirty stones.

I think we’ve lost , they don’t give a flying F- – K about the Jab damage so why would this bother them !! They are at War with us without doubt & it’s all one sided , even in a losing battle some retributions are usually made but we are going without landing a good solid counter punch !
Agreed – we are powerless while we are so few. The ignorance and stupidity of the sheeple will be our downfall…
An Englisman’s home once was ‘his castle’. Now the state wants to live inside it and monitor it. It’s pure Orwell. I feel imprisoned by my passport. My beloved country has fallen and I wish I could go somewhere else. bet thing is that all the African wannabe migrants come here and all the entrepreneurial Europeans go to their empty, abandoned countries and start fresh, using all the resources and our technical knowhow to create new states!
I look at these deranged laws and think to myself ‘Do these people understand what they’re saying and doing?’ It was the same in the lockdown era: horrifying violations of our Common Law and Natural Law, and policies that were straight out of 1930s Germany and the former USSR.
Part of me is still in shock at what I’m reading every day.
For that matter, an example of what’s going on across the culture: Adobe, the software firm, announced a bunch of woke policies and actually talked about using them to create a ‘utopian society.’ They actually said that! I noticed that in the latest update to Premiere Pro, on their Essential Sound settings, the tool for ‘Balanced Male Voice’ and ‘Balanced Female Voice’ has been replaced with ‘Balanced Low Tone Voice’ anc’Balanced High Tone Voice’, so they’re denying biological sex now too.
What is this love affair with the useless ashp? If I had to choose heating that only uses electricity as power my first choice would be night storage heaters. I know many people that have them (most of them elderly people in flats), and, although it’s expensive, at least it works – and goodness, some of these people like to keep their homes hot, which these heaters do with ease. Modern storage heaters are very adjustable too.There are also electric boilers, which I understand aren’t particularly efficient, but I bet they are better than an ashp.
How many MPs have got their fingers in the ashp manufacturing pie?
The flat I’m living in has three night storage heaters and I haven’t turned the storage bit on for years as they just inflate my electricity bill while being completely useless for heating anything (except the heater itself but while these will get cold in winter, they won’t feel cold). I’m only using the convectors two of them have plus an additional, electric radiator I bought two years. That’s at least sufficient to get the temperature in my flat on cold days up chattering teeth level which is well above extremities hurt level and sort-of acceptable.
As we all know..there’s a good amount of lock-step with this stuff…
”German lawmakers in the lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, voted on Friday in favour of a controversial law aimed at phasing out oil and gas heating systems.”
This comes, just as it does elsewhere, when the Government is only backed by a minority..and the majority have made it clear they do not want it….
Article…
https://www.dw.com/en/german-lawmakers-pass-heating-law-that-divided-government/a-66757316
The diagram at the end of the article provides a nice example of how f***ed proportional representation is as a vote counting system: The current government has popular disapproval rates of up to 85%. Yet, if people voted as the diagram at the end of the article showed, the outcome would be that two of the three presently governing parties would remain in government and one of these would be the party leading the present government.
Possible governing coalitions would be CDU – SPD – FDP or CDU – SPD – Greens, the current is SPD – FDP – Greens. No party is going to form a coalition with the AfD because they are Nahziehs, ie, opposed to climate change legislation, opposed to the war in Ukraine and not (yet) as hysterically anti-german and Foreigners uber alles! as the other parties.
It really doesn’t matter how Germans vote. They’ll always end up being governed by almost the exact same people which already governed before the election.
Then prison it is! Again and again if nessasary! When we all have nothing to lose anymore why not rely on his majesties central heating, first class medical care and four hots and a cott? Sounds like a great way out!
& we can now escape dressed as Chefs so it won’t be too bad

Expect a spate of older, poorly insulated homes spontaneously combusting and burning to the ground. I blame global boiling.
I’m painting my old place blue. That protects you from Global Boiling don’t ye know!
It was only about 4 weeks ago that Grant Schapps, the then Energy Security and Net Zero Minister was asked on GB News if heat pumps are any good. ——–Here is his reply. —————“I DON’T KNOW, BUT I AM HAVING ONE INSTALLED IN MY HOUSE SO I WILL FIND OUT SOON” —- ha ah ha ha ha jeez what a blithering idiot. —-He doesn’t know if they are any good.——- But him and his despicable government plus the entire political class who waved through Net Zero with no questions asked will LOCK YOU UP for not installing one whether they are any good or not. You will have a useless heat pump and an energy rationing smart meter because they are pretending to save the planet and they want you to pretend as well or face jail.——–How is it that the UK always has to save the planet harder and faster than every other country and our squirming eco parasite politicians go on TV to claim we are “world leaders” ——–Yep, world leaders in impoverishing their own citizens so they can get a little gold star on their lapels from the phony planet savers at Davos.
Depopulation.
That is one part of it. I see it as the “War on the West”. With our own UN lackey politicians fighting for the enemy against their own citizens. The wealthy west is deemed to have used up more than our fair share of the fossil fuels in the ground in becoming prosperous and we are to STOP doing that and use expensive niche technologies like wind and sun and greatly reduce consumption of energy. —–It is Eco Socialism pure and simple. Our politicians who pretend they are saving the planet are TRAITORS.
Is it me or is this government showing some signs of desperation? Heat pump installations have been abysmally low so far. A few tens of thousands I believe. Presumably at the next meeting of SPECTRE, if our puppet parliamentarians (all of them are “Number 2”) haven’t met their assigned target, schwab will open a trapdoor and they will slide into a pool of ravenous sharks as a lesson to the others.
Can I pull the lever & shove Klaus in fo good measure
With a stake through the heart, just to be on the safe side
There’s a major opportunity here for someone to design fake heat pumps to mount outside homes, like those fake security systems, and a bit of palm-greasing on the energy efficiency certs (and don’t tell me that doesn’t already happen with the existing ones)…!
I think the real ones are fake, aren’t they? They don’t actually do anything
They are more than fake. The persons carrying them out are using a computer program that may do anything, and thery have zero understanding of anything. Then the Government reduced all the ratings by one step A->B etc, because they thought they were being too reasonable!
The average heat pump (reverse fridge!)
Works on 4.5 kw per hour for a 3 bed semi.
Heats the whole house and water all the time (when was the last time you turned your fridge freezer off to save electric??)
So, it must remain on, 24/7 to be economical.
It has a back up you know? An immersion heater, yes, that kicks in if, it can’t get to your set temperature on your thermostat!.
If your house is incredibly well insulated, then the heat pump will serve all your needs without! having to use the immersion heater.
The problem is, …35°c at best! That’s the best heat pump on the market can heat water to, so insulation is paramount if you don’t want the immersion heater on all the time!
Think of it this way, if you can put your hand on your radiators and think, “ooh, that’s warm!..that’s the best you’ll get! Forever!
with your new heat pump!
Hang on a sec how many homes are there in Britain? They can’t put us ALL in gaol there aren’t enough prisons as it is. RESIST DEFY DO NOT COMPLY!!!
Fascinating the parliament could rush through a WEF bill in days when things like illegal immigration, dangerous, harmful covid injections continue to be given to people are not addressed, not even for a minute. Time to leave this pagan WEF bought parliament and country, it is doomed. Sadly the poor parliamentarians who are still youngish don’t have a clue what they and their families are in for. It won’t be pretty.
FFS! And so the attack on our hard-won freedoms and sovereignty; taken for granted back in the day, rolls on apace, and even fires up the afterburners.
Just as with the CONVID and Killer Jab Scams.
You’d think the ‘masses’ would have started to join the dots by now.
When they do, which they eventually will, a sleeping giant will have awoken. Woe betide those in power who have been complicit in all this.
I just hope I live long enough to bear witness to it… or do I?
The MPs are all stupid, and brainless. Ok we all install heat pumps, and what will happen? There will be no electricity! Doing so will require 30 million homes times lets sat 3kW average power = 90 GW. We only have 45 GW available on a nice windy day! So nothing else (the usual 40GW or so) of other electrical appliances if we want heat. The plan is so unworkable that this legislation is instant total failure of the country! Of course there are endless other problems too, but they passed this? In fact passing it is committing Treason. I hape that there are 635 spare spaces in Cat A Jails, because this should be the result!
These people firmly believe in the omnipotence of paper decrees because they’re convinced the world changes whenever they change the way they describe it. Deep inside, they believe that they’re witches and wizards and that their wishes will always become true because of this.
Case in point: Cloth masks to prevent a deadly pandemic from turning into global health apocalypse with hundreds of dead piling up everwhere in the streets. The latter didn’t happen and hence, the former must have made to work by wishing that it would. There was certainly a deadly pandemic. The WHO said so!
Surely there are more pressing issues this gov’t should be concerning themselves with. For instance since the covid jabs have been given to children there has been a drastic increase in excess mortality of children. The people in parliament are a disgrace and how they approved an energy bill in two days is somewhat unreal. They are an embarrassment and everyone be ashamed of their total lack of integrity and honesty. It is an insult to the taxpayer.
