NHS bosses are offering a £100,000 contract for “anti-racism” consultancy services, MailOnline reports.
The tender — branded “woke” by critics — was posted by NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT), which manages blood supplies and organ donation in the U.K.
The successful bidder will “embed intentionally inclusive and anti-racist behaviours across our organisation”.
NHSBT wants a “solution” which includes topics such as “racial equity, social justice, civility, cultural intelligence, and active bystander and inclusion”.
Critics slammed the six-figure spend on “woke waste” and called for “every penny” to go towards frontline care instead.
Cash-strapped hospitals are mulling scaling back operations this winter to balance the books, despite the waiting list sitting at an all-time high.
But NHSBT argued hiring an anti-racist consultancy would help tackle backlogs by increasing the organisation’s credibility with ethnic minority Brits. It also comes amid allegations of years of racism within the service. …
In the application document, NHSBT wrote the consultancy was part of its “vision” to be an “intentionally inclusive and anti-racist” organisation. …
NHSBT added the contract will be considered a success when their employees have a greater understanding of “race equity”, they are not disadvantaged by their characteristics, and its recruitment policies are “intentionally inclusive”.
Tom Ryan, policy analyst at campaign group the TaxPayers’ Alliance, told MailOnline the public would be dismayed by the spend.
“‘Taxpayers are sick of seeing vital health funds spent on these right-on initiatives,” he said.
“With waiting lists still punishingly long, every penny should be directed at delivering frontline care.
“It’s time for the health service to put patients first and crack down on woke waste.”

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Read the article. No mention of the Cochrane Review by Heneghan and Jefferson,just poorly conducted surveys mentioned at best.
They are still hiding their errors.
Greta will be getting VERY cross.
“How DARE she?!”
“, and as lawmakers are signalling an openness to reinstating mask bans amid a rise in clashes at protests”
Assuming these are protests because of the mandates or unrelated?
As for celebs preaching….Oh do f**k off!
TCW — Michael Mosley pushing the Jab

I posted this under the Roundup section early this morning.
Backtracking can be useful.
I’m out and about and tried to uptick you and it says I’ve got to be logged in to vote. Is this a new feature??
So I just logged in to say that.
Also, does that mean the Scroteless Wonders won’t be trolling us because they’ll need an account, so they can’t hate til their heart’s content?
Mogs, I think there is a glitch on the Log In system. Some days I have to log in three, four times. Sometimes a log in lasts a week. Rather tiresome to be honest.
No I can log in ok but usually you can vote when logged out. Try logging out and see for yourself. Could be a glitch, I suppose. We’ll see, I guess. But I tried to uptick you whinged out and couldn’t.
It was always the Shadow Lurkers that took the bait.
I should really try another experiment and slag off the Misogynist Society’s hero and see the response I get!
And my uptick.
Yes, we’ve changed it so that one has to be a donor in order to vote on comments. The previous system was so permissive that it was open to abuse by anonymous trolls and bots, which I’m sure we’ve all noticed.
Of course some people will be upset that they don’t get to vote on comments any more, but this is the only way to deal with it.
Thanks for the update Ian. I fully support the decision.
Well I think that’s for the best, tbh. I certainly get the rationale behind your decision. The 77th Hamster Penis Brigade will be apoplectic! LOL No more little red thumb army.
How will they cope….?
I am sure their pleasure is in their own hands, so to speak.
Thanks Ian. I had noticed a marked drop in the phantom downvote count. Definitely a good move.
The key question is how many clot-shots has she had.
A supplementary question is about her education.
She attended private school in Los Angeles. Her enrollment in such an institution suggests that she has access to high-quality teaching, resources, and a supportive learning environment.
Her hobbies are spending time with her family and playing with her siblings
So a know-nothing spoiled brat with no real world experience. She should go far in showbiz, but perhaps not in virology.
Dr ToF’s diagnosis – she’s mentally ill, or in technical terms mad as a box of frogs.
I was about to suggest she should be in the bottom block.
No, the key question is why we’re forced to listen to an 18-year-old lecturing us about the world.
A shoe-in for playing Dumbo with those ears.
We must be firm with the infirm; no more mask mandates, no matter how much the bedwetters squeak.
Off-T
John O’Looney is on the rampage regarding the clots. Lovely open letter to the “boss of the embalmers” (couldn’t be bothered to find her job title)

Sometimes with a lady in a mask one was keen to see what she really looked like, but not in this case
Violet’s performance reminds me of Greta’s predecessor, Severn.
does anyone remember the character called Violet Bott from just William who would scream and scream until she was sick, if she didn’t get her own way? I think Mr Afleck gave his daughter the right moniker.
Violet Elizabeth – William’s nemesis! Those stories were hilarious – and still are, even after 90-odd years. Pure comic genius.
The world is full of loonies. That’s inevitable.
The problem is when they are listened to and influence state bureaucrats that have the power to impose their madness on us.
In the meantime, my goodness what a terrible job those two parents have done with their daughter. They,ve brought up a neurotic girl with an inflated sense of self importance. What 18 year old feels so certain about how everyone else should live their lives to call on the state to impose it on them? What a little monster.
‘I blame the parents.’
A very northern saying.
Yes I think we’ll be seeing less little green and red numbers under the posts if only those with accounts can vote. I’m now going to log out again to test my theory and try upticking your comment…
I have just upticked this comment.
There is something inherently wrong about allowing reader participation while not paying a sub. On TCW you can read the comments but that’s it. Off-guardian.org is the same.
Ukcolumn.org only offers participation to members although use of the site is free.
If all non-subscribers were denied ticking rights what difference would it make to site viability?
He who pays the piper calls the tune.
See my above comment. And yes, it’s hardly outrageous to require a subscription to get to vote on comments.
Thanks again Ian.
Dear Ian Rons and Toby Young,
Please don’t let two bossy cows take over your website, trying to turn you into a sub-branch of The Conservative Maryolater Woman, by endless nagging until you do whatever they want, allowing them to use your website as their own personal social media account, taking over all the comments sections.
Please put your foot down, and explain to them that this website belongs to you, and you will do whatever you want, and that you will no longer tolerate their endless nagging and complaints.
And tell them to pay for their own websites, so that they can control everything.
Thank you.
Do you think just because you pay to comment that gives you the right to troll everybody you’ve taken an obvious personal dislike to, with your non-stop bitchy little remarks?
Well I suppose somebody needs to put the ‘septic’ in The Daily Sceptic, and it may as well be you.
Good job, hater!
I assume I join you as one of the bossy cows Mogs. I am not aware of my or anybody else’s “endless nagging” and certainly no attempts at “taking over all the comments sections.” I have always looked forward to reading opinions other than my own. It’s how we learn isn’t it? Well some of us. The not so gobby ones.
Perhaps it’s lost on some (very few) subscribers that without a) subscribers and b) commenters The Daily Sceptic would not exist. I appreciate this logic might be lost on some.
Gotta laugh
This hater is always one of the ones who trolls us with their faithful little red thumb!
Pathetic.
I think JohnK’s comment below: “See a psychiatrist” applies here.
What i find hilarious as ever on here, is that it’s all about the “free speech” this, “freedom of speech” that, but when those same individuals read somebody else exercising their right to free speech they lose their shit!
Yet another interesting case of ‘double standards’ or “rules for thee but not for me” type of hypocrisy I’m used to seeing displayed by some on this site.
Yes indeedy.
If you and Mogwai are the ‘bossy cows’ please carry on. You usually say in print what I am thinking saving me the job of typing a less eloquent and maybe less forceful comment.
Yes but I would not pay to have my comments sanitised by some woke publication
T’north is always right, chuck.
See a psychiatrist.
No.! Now piss off…
Succinct.
Sequester in a lunatic asylum for treatment.
Long CoVid = mRNA experimental ‘vaccine’ damage.
Well if she’s suffering ‘vaccine’ damage she could be on the way to a Darwin Award.
I also want something: I want you entitled brat to remain silent until you can reasonably claim to have a life of your own, in the case this should ever happen. You’re not wiser than all the people who didn’t use your magic health talisman after the practice proved useless against the plague. It’s the opposite, actually, you’re a lot dumber.
Note to door: You’ll get two additional days off if you can hit her on the way out.
Tragically the wearing of a mask has had a detrimental impact on her (probably already subterranean) intelligence. Cosseted and entitled. Mummy and Daddy are famous and that means I can ‘demand’ things. Mummy and Daddy are just a couple of thespians with little in the way of any great intelligence or experience. Famous vegetables who have done little or nothing else.
She needs to take it off before her ears overtake her head.
Classy.

For those who realise that our futures, our safety as a nation reside within the farming industry this is an interesting article. Sadly, the rather childish Christmas wish list is fundamentally undermined when the author dips his toes into ‘carbon capture.’
More research dear boy.
I thought that’s what livestock does when when it eats grass and turns it into fertiliser which makes the grass grow better; have you ever noticed the lush green grass around cow-pats?
But surely you have realised that Labour’s new green deal for farmers is to compulsority purchase their land for house-building, solar farms and windmills.
“surely you have realised that Labour’s new green deal for farmers is to compulsority purchase their land for house-building, solar farms and windmills.”
roubles, I am more than well aware of what is happening to the farming industry. I work with farmers regularly.
I know a few farmers here in Wales too. I have helped a farmer sheer but not this summer. We fell out because I’m happy to help and don’t want paying just my fuel and if they can’t do that well I said see you later!
That is a solution in search of a problem regarding CC.
Surely if her mask works then others don’t need to wear one.
That’s what I’ve always maintained. I’ve never heard any refutation of this from the masktards – have you?
spoilt child of a movie star once again in the spotlight that everyone should give up their freedom to protect her. Perhaps we should all just go live in splendid isolation with food pushed under the door by robots, so that in the words of, was it Gates or Schwab, no one is safe until everyone is safe, when you analyse that completely dumb, trite sentence, it effectively means for everyone to be safe, everyone, that includes Schwab, Gates etc must live in a sealed cell in isolation, because everything, carries a danger from accidentally cutting yourself on a knife, falling over, swimming, exercising, eating all involve a risk. People who are suffering cancer, well they aren’t going to be safe if they have to come into contact with other people, so not everyone is safe are they?, likewise people have allergies to different things, for example nuts, shellfish etc, so should we completely ban across the world the coming into contact of those things for everyone? because not everyone is safe from them?
This girl if she is so scared of life and its consequences, needs to remove herself from her perceived risks, she needs to isolate herself, thats the only way she is ever going to feel safe. so off you go love, the rest of the world is, and this might come as a bit of a shock, does not revolve around you.
Oh and as we are on the celebs giving us their opinions on the world stage, I understand that Mr George Clooney has now called for President Biden to step down, and wheras I don’t disagree with the sentiments of Mr Clooney I am once again amazed that someone who has spent their life playing pretend in front of a camera is by default a person who because of luck and a pretty face has an opinion which carries more weight than the man or woman who cleans his house, or serves him a cup of coffee, or empties his bin.
Maybe msm darlings who have hurty feelings like this is where the revolt begins….
A know-nothing hysteric, no doubt scared stupid by the last few years. Her opinion is meaningless.
You won’t be worrying about this crap in a few weeks time bird flu or not. Major escalation planned for August on a completely different level. It is interesting to look at how people behave when they have been given warning of catastrophe. If it is imminent they usually have an instinctive urge to be as close to their family as possible and all other concerns go out of the window. People talk like this is 2020. All around the world they are making preparations for serious war and just look at us. And in terms of civil defence you might believe that the government has underground shelters for every man woman and child. In some countries they do but they don’t in this one. You can always try ducking under the kitchen table and see if that helps.
The Greta of masks. When will our world ignore the whining of 18 year olds?
While I never took Gretna v. Turnschuh¹ particularly seriously, she at least had some cause she was agitating for, worthless as it might have been. This here is just pure egotism of the pampered prat.
¹ A play on her surname using the German way to refer to minor nobles. In English, this could be Lady Gretna of Her Very Own Trainers, just the word play doesn’t work anymore.
She wants everyone to wear masks —–but not her mum and dad though
Just strange people who are forced to meet her in the only place she ever goes to if she’s going out: The hospital.
So two Hollywood luvvies have raised a screwed-up, neurotic teenager.
Not the first and definitely won’t be the last.
Make that two screwed-up daughters;
”These are the daughters of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
Violet Affleck, wears a mask whenever outside and demands Mask Mandates are returned to LA.
Seraphina came out as a non-binary boy named ‘Fin’ – announcing it at her Grandfathers funeral.
Is this down to parenting?”

What a silly, ignorant, look-at-me child. All I have to say to her is “how dare you”!
Sounds like rather than a mask one of those coats with the very long sleeves that tie at the back would be an asset.
The poor thing is obviously mentally ill.
