Civil Servants Can Use Male or Female Security Passes and Can Change Gender Daily

by Richard Eldred
27 August 2023 5:00 PM

The Home Office’s policy of issuing dual security passes to nonbinary staff for flexible gender identity presentation has critics arguing it poses security risks and unnecessarily promotes gender ideology. The Telegraph has the story.

Nonbinary staff in the Home Office are given male and female security passes allowing them to change their gender identity day by day.

According to the Home Office’s gender reassignment and gender identity policy, nonbinary officials can “present in the gender which matches their identity on a given day”.

The guidance, issued in 2010, updated in 2021, and described as “current policy”, continues: “This includes practical considerations such as access to premises.

“The department has introduced dual passes for staff that wish to attend work as more than one gender.”

Miriam Cates, the Conservative MP, told the Telegraph the nonbinary pass policy poses “serious security and safeguarding risks”.

She said: “A policy that enables someone working in what should be a secure environment to have a different identity on different days of the week is clearly open to abuse and is unworkable.

“The obsession of some senior civil servants with pushing gender ideology in the workplace is very concerning.”

Helen Joyce, the Director of Advocacy at the gender-critical group Sex Matters, said: “These ‘diversity champion’ roles are clearly being used to push contested beliefs about ‘gender identity’ as something distinct from a person’s sex.

“That’s got no basis in either U.K. law or biological reality.

“When civil servants promote this by writing policies that embed gender ideology with concepts like ‘nonbinary identities’, or that promote the use of ‘preferred pronouns’ and suggest it’s bigoted to use phrases like ‘man up’, they’re failing in their statutory duty to be politically neutral and impartial.

“This isn’t just a waste of time and taxpayers’ money; it’s discriminatory towards the majority of perfectly sensible civil servants who don’t believe in this nonsense and just want to do their job.

“The Home Secretary needs to get a grip and tear these policies up.”

The gender reassignment policy promises for transitioning staff “a gender identity liaison officer (GILO) who will act as coordinator throughout an individual’s gender reassignment”.

In March this year, Steve Dann, Chief Operating Officer of Border Force, which is part of the Home Office, wrote a blog on the department’s intranet celebrating ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’, where he urged officials to use people’s “preferred pronouns”.

The mandarin said: “As an LGBT+ champion, Trans Day of Visibility is about recognising the contributions of our trans colleagues to the crucial work we do here in Border Force.”

Mr. Dann, who is paid around £150,000, committed Border Force to being a work environment that is “supportive, inclusive and respectful for all regardless of a colleague’s gender identity”.

He invited staff to “share their thoughts and personal stories” to a Border Force email address.

In the same blog, Jackie Armstrong, described as “Director of Operational Capabilities Command, Immigration Enforcement (IE)” claimed to be a “straight ally” and the “IE LGBT+ champion”.

David Kuenssberg, who earns around £150,000 as Director General of Corporate and Delivery, is another Home Office LGBT+ champion.

On June 26th he wrote a ‘Pride message’ to civil servants, in which he claimed Pride has in recent years “become more inclusive” and now celebrates “transgender and other sexualities and gender identities”. …

Paul Lincoln, who was promoted to the Ministry of Defence in April this year, was Director General of Border Force and the Home Office gender equality champion.

In May 2021, Mr. Lincoln introduced the Home Office Gender Equality Action Plan, which aimed to boost gender equality in the department.

He wrote: “I am clear that the issues facing people of all gender identities in the workplace are complicated and often conflicting.”

In November 2019, Mr. Lincoln published an intranet blog entitled ‘Men as allies’ in which he told officials to “mind your language”, claiming “gender-based language can have a negative impact, even if unintended”.

Worth reading in full.

I often used to pass Milliband senior on the street when I lived in Manhattan. I wondered why he had left the UK and politics. Now, after 14 years of Tory governments either asleep or unable to get legislation passed the civil service or NGOs, I realize the attraction of being in globalist job, dedicated to increasing immigration to the West.

I preferred the real, original International Rescue who built their capabilities entirely through private enterprise and without public money. FAB!

Now remind me, were not all the Tory leadership (sic) contenders part of government. Did they pay no attention.

Which of their colleagues do they say let them down, and us? Collective responsibility means all of them.

Wait –

No, it must be a coincidence. Miliband is quite a common surname.

What blessings did Ralph Milliband bequeath upon the British with his sons David and Ed. They represent the Bat , or bloodsucker in David , and the Rat , or vermin in Ed .

Slightly off-topic: Grangemouth workers rally to save oil refinery jobs says the BBC.
Perhaps they didn’t read the Labour (or Conservative) manifesto?

I trust David’s weird brother Ed will go up to Grangemouth to explain why they’re f****d?

Net zero by 2050! Yay!

Let the anger build further.

Is this round your neck of the woods, hux? I suspect the ”black and white scarfs” they’re referring to aren’t the type worn by NUFC supporters, but the other ones we’re all too familiar with by now. I hope they catch the filthy scumbags, and if it was early evening some passersby must have seen them somewhere, but respect to this man for bravely reporting this. They’ll be likely to strike again unless they’re caught;

”Officers are appealing for information following reports of a serious sexual assault near Wrigley Head in Failsworth, Oldham, yesterday evening (Friday 2 August 2024).
At around 5.55pm, a man was approached by three men and was assaulted and subjected to a serious sexual assault. He is currently being assisted by specialist officers and his wellbeing and care is at the heart of their ongoing work.

Officers believe this to be a targeted attack and there is no risk to the wider public.
We are now looking to speak to three men in relation to this incident and they are described as black men in their 30s, with black and white scarfs round their necks and of an athletic build. One man was wearing jeans and another wearing trousers with pockets on.”

Thanks Mogs. Very close to us. Failsworth is a mid point more or less between Oldham and Manchester. Like many places it has become rather grim over the last twenty years and its no stranger to knife crime and murders.

I have just been reading the Comments section at TCW. Quite a few reports that the Calais Yatch Club arrivals are masquerading as the Muslim Defence League and are being bussed around the country to riot. They are uniformly dressed in black with balaclavas. Local mosques are used to store and dish out their arms – knives, hammers etc.

As I have been posting for about three years.

The response by Dr Hotez is chilling. “We need to get Homeland Security involved because this is a security problem. 200,000 Americans died because of anti-vaccine aggression, so this is now a lethal force.” Meanwhile, he is happily lining his own pockets while developing vaccines funded by the US health authorities.

“With tensions running high in Southport, you’d have thought Prime Minister Starmer would be eager to reassure the public. And yet, our dear leader, two-tier Keir, didn’t want to talk about any of that in his address to the nation. I mean it’s not as if it was something important like Black Lives Matter, Hamas-supporting Jew haters, or Persephone, Margaux and Lucinda from Just Stop Oil having something racy to discuss in the Oxbridge bars that evening. This was just little girls getting slaughtered in broad daylight, and the votes Labour can hope to extract for opposition to that are close to zero.”

“Seventh Century medievalism is now a permanent feature of the landscape in Britain, aided and abetted by the police.”

Video of muzzies openly brandishing machetes and those “large, curved kitchen knives”(sic) presumably as used by the alleged Southport slaughterer.

So why was a supposedly Conservative Government shovelling British taxpayers’ money at a foreign “charity” run by a Socialist?

That’s where the problem starts. They shouldn’t have been receiving ANY British taxpayers’ money.

I do hope this is the end of Sneer and I wonder if the kindly Bliar was egging him on behind the scenes or even wrote the speech.
