Colonialism Is to Blame for the ‘Gender Binary’, NHS Staff Are Told, Amidst Deluge of Woke Gobbledegook

by Richard Eldred
15 August 2023 3:00 PM

NHS hospital policies stating that colonialism is responsible for the traditional male-female divide have sparked alarm and prompted calls for a thorough review of current gender guidelines and the way biological sex is recognised. The revelations are part of the Mail’s continuing investigation into gender ideology within the NHS. Here’s an excerpt:

Colonialism is to blame for imposing the male-female divide on society, NHS staff are being told in official hospital policies.

Health trust documents obtained by the Daily Mail also state that adults who take hormone therapy are going through puberty, and that men who identify as women can be lesbians.

The contentious claims have added to calls for an urgent review of all NHS guidance on gender issues.

An investigation by the Mail has already revealed that people who only occasionally present as women are allowed into female-only wards, midwives are being warned they can harm trans parents by describing them as mothers, and 999 operators have been told to ask for emergency callers’ pronouns rather than risk misgendering them.

Tory MP Miriam Cates, who is a former science teacher, said: “It is a travesty that so many NHS trusts are now engaged in divisive political activism and are promoting extremist political views about gender theory – views that have no basis in reality and are a threat to the safety of women.

“It is indefensible for our National Health Service to deny the reality of biological sex, and it undermines public trust in the whole medical establishment.

“Those within the NHS who are pushing this destructive agenda are failing in their duty of care and must be held to account.”

Lottie Moore, Head of Biology Matters at the Policy Exchange think-tank, said: “The NHS should not be rewriting biology textbooks and presenting them as fact.

“These claims are not scientific and should not be presented to patients as such.

“Gender identity beliefs are simply beliefs, and the NHS must understand this.”

Analysis by this newspaper of dozens of NHS hospital trust policies found that in addition to advice on how to handle staff transitioning and care for transgender patients, they commonly state controversial gender theories as fact.

Many avoid saying that humans are born male or female, and instead assert that doctors simply ‘assign’ a sex to babies.

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: While NHS managers are busying themselves disseminating woke propaganda, the hospitals they’re supposed to be managing are descending into chaos. The Mail has published a hair-raising piece by an NHS doctor about how his A&E department is like a war zone.

When the last nail is sunk into the Net Zero con, the grifters must be sent to jail. This is nothing less than deliberate treason and genocide.

But all they do each time is say “We were only following the science”—But who funded all of the science? Almost all climate change science is funded by government, and as we know, who pays the piper calls the tune.

Like COVID the lazy, dumb public are completely in on it.

Try tell a random person on the street that there is no climate change, that there is nothing at all to worry about CO2 and they’ll look at you like you’re mad.

For as long as all the brainwashing mechanisms remain in place (centralised education, mass media control) the state and all the grifters that feed off it will continue to control the minds of the public.

” it will continue to control the minds of the public.”
Until the lights go out and they find they cannot have a car anymore and their heating costs are un-affordable. It will start to get gritty and people will then kick back, I sometimes think the legal over-reaction to the riots was because they know the public will soon start to kick back and they wanted to send a warning to anyone thinking of objecting or protesting.

I have a very different view of social media (and the Internet more generally) I think it’s the only source of real and useful information.

Long form interviews and podcasts in particular are incredibly interesting and give you the chance to find out what interesting and relevant people actually think, unlike the highly edited and manipulated garbage you see on the TV.

True, there is a lot of crap in social.media too. And so this forces users to curate and select their own information.

So I think it’s rather the opposite of what you say. Social media and the Internet are more likely to make people think. Take it away (or censor it) and they can go back to outsourcing all theor thinking to the highly controlled mass media.

Put this way, if state powers are trying to censor it, it’s probably because it makes people think more, not less.

I might define it differently – for me social media is Facebook, instagram, TikTok and the ilk – podcasts, streaming media etc I don’t include in the same bucket. Like you, I love a podcast, sometimes hours long – a real relief from the voxpop 30 sec content!

All while living standards fall, and more and more private property falls into the hands of Lloyds Banking Group and investors like Blackrock/Vanguard etc.

Another BRIC in the Wall

On Tuesday and Wednesday next week the BRICS group of nations are meeting in Kazan in Russia. One of the key topics is a new BRICS based payment and finance system, which could see BRICS countries move away from needing western currencies for trade. At the same time it would be salutary to look at how the BRICS countries are doing with regard to net-zero – climate madness?
When I consider such matters I find it hard not to conclude that the western world has gone mad and is tearing itself to pieces and is for some bizarre reason committing social and economic suicide. The way things are going it may not be many years before we are begging Russia and China to send us some aid to stave of famine and destitution.

It all emanates from the UN and filters its way down through all National Governments, through all Local Governments, through all education and media, so that it ends up becoming perceived ultimate truth that no one questions. No one likes to make a fool of themselves by questioning things that are viewed as FACT. ——But what we mostly hear from Politicians and Media is not fact at all. It is claims of certainty where there are NONE. Which leads us back to the UN where 75% of the countries have Tyrants, Kings, Colonels and Dictators in charge. The UN Sustainable Development Agenda is about having a world run by technocrats controlling the worlds wealth, resources and YOU. To do this they need a fairly plausible excuse and that excuse is “Climate Change”. Every human activity involves the release of some CO2, so controlling that CO2 with climate policies allows control over every human activity. It really is as crude and as simple as that.

Let’s have electric fire engines! What could possibly go wrong?

Frank Spencer has had children….and they work for the Hesse fire service in Germany:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YkfWyj2TiA

The next instalment of ‘Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em’?:

‘The British Army’s electrification of vehicles as part of Project Lurcher is designed to lower the carbon footprint of the service.’

Project Lurker more like. Imagine the fun the writers of ‘Dads Army’ could have with this dottiness.

‘Don’t panic!’ ‘We’re all doomed’

Lunacy on stilts…….

P.S. Is it just me or is Mr Miliband a dead ringer for the key cast member of SMDAE?

“Yet it would be naïve to view the climate industrial complex as a vast conspiracy.”

Well, who knows, but the rest of that paragraph sets out some alternative “explanations” that don’t really get to the root cause of the irrationality. If everyone is just following the “orthodoxy”, where and why did this “orthodoxy” start?

Anyway, if you go along with something in collusion with others, for gain, when you know it’s rubbish then that’s a conspiracy.

UN Agenda 2021 and Agenda 2030 is being imposed on us.

It has nothing to do with the climate, as the UN has admitted. It’s about global wealth re-distribution, one-world governance and control.

Edenhoffers words about “we redistribute the world’s wealth by climate policy” is well known to all of us who have looked into this issue for a long time, but what he said has never been on mainstream news and never discussed as far as I am aware. All the general public get is the bad news and the scary “we must fight climate change” or “climate change is real and happening now” stuff so that people have become conditioned into accepting there is a serious climate problem so they more readily accept all of the draconian policies around energy and wealth. It is s pincer movement of government and media.

A very complementary article by David Wright at TCW which ends with this wholly correct albeit obvious conclusion…

“Will the politicians wake up to this scam? Unfortunately not before colossal damage, even ruination, has been done to our economies and the lives of whole populations have been made miserable.”

A demoralizing situation. But as the hardships ratchet up, surely then more people will take a stand against these fanatics.

High energy prices are not only harmful to traditional industrialisation. Modern computer technology also needs vast amounts of energy. Data centres requiring a gigawatt are being planned in the States, and Microsoft are in the process of buying the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant to just feed their data centre. If our energy prices remain high and intermittent, we can say goodbye to any technology advances that might create economic growth.

The answer to the question posed in the opening paragraphs is – evil intent.

The real question is why?

There is a conspiracy in that, because it got pushed from the very top starting in the Club of Rome.
