The social and economic costs resulting from hundreds of thousands who had their lives wrecked by heavy-handed opinion enforcement by HR departments are only just becoming clear. Already we are seeing attempts to ‘memory hole’ what happened to those who dissented against radical trans policies. The injustice of this is adding insult to injury and therefore I am launching sackedforwrongthink@gmail.com to ensure they are not forgotten.
Following the publication of the Cass Report and the vindication of those high profile dissidents whose lives were wrecked for simply voicing their concerns about radical medical interventions on children and the invasion of women’s spaces by biological men, it has become increasingly apparent that hundreds of thousands may have lost their jobs and careers for similar reasons.
In my article in last week’s Daily Sceptic I identified this issue based on the Free Speech Union’s robust research into the impact of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Climate (EDIC) workplace schemes and the numbers who have suffered negative consequences from their employer. It certainly mirrors what we see at my newly launched Common Sense HR Consultancy. The numbers of people impacted has all the hallmarks of being a national scandal of epic proportions.
There have been a number of articles in the mainstream media decrying this injustice and the negative impact of EDIC on employees, employers and therefore the economy, with comment from Kemi Badenoch and Dawn French, among others.
Today’s article by Dr. Kathleen Stock – herself no stranger to cancellation – in the Times is headed: ‘Turn of the woke tide will leave many stranded’. It’s a prediction that once the dust has cleared, little mention or recourse will be made to the thousands who were cancelled, bullied, fired and slandered during the madness.
The tragedy is that we are finding that many of those who were sacked are older workers (over 40) and long service employees who have never been in trouble before; many are women. Most don’t have the money to fight at an Employment Tribunal and certainly cannot wait the three years of the current backlog for justice. Three years is long enough for marriages to collapse, homes to be lost, children to grow up without the holidays and other memories; most people just try to put it behind them and get on with their lives. These are the stranded. In many cases their sacking was unlawful but their employers will never be held accountable. Many are proud and hardworking and are mortified that this has happened to them. It is a disgrace that this has happened in Britain in the 21st Century. That their voices will be silenced and forgotten is an absolute travesty.
That’s why we are launching an initiative to gather the stories of those who have been cancelled. There will be a website but in the meantime sackedforwrongthink@gmail.com is where to send your stories. We want to hear from you, in the strictest confidence. We cannot promise you justice, but we can at least get your story out there, anonymously if you prefer, so that there is a record of what happened, so they cannot ‘memory hole’ you.
If this has happened to you it is incredibly important to let us know. We will respect your privacy.
Once again it’s sackedforwrongthink@gmail.com.

Problem is that we’re already self censoring at work!
Too scared to mention what’s normal.
Sitting through “how to challenge non-woke” training. Geez….
Depresses me completely
**Off-topic trigger warning!** As it’s St George’s Day it’s technically on-topic, so there.
Well we knew this was going to happen because we know how corrupt and treacherous Khant’s racist Met ‘Islam Protection Squad’ Police are. Here’s what they posted before the gathering of patriots today;
”Later today, an event to mark St George’s Day is expected to take place on Richmond Terrace, off Whitehall. We believe those planning to attend include far right groups and groups linked to football clubs travelling from elsewhere in the UK.
Additional policing resources, including public order officers, will be deployed in the area to deal with any incidents. They are supported by colleagues from the British Transport Police and the City of London Police.
The officers’ primary role is to ensure the safety of participants and the public, but they will not hesitate to respond in the event of disorderly behaviour or other offences.”

This is what transpired. What do you notice? In particular as compared to the pro-hate marches…But at least Tommy got his case dismissed and can now set foot in London and rub shoulders with the Jihadis and their hangers-on once again;

”Far right” for the win!! 🙂
Far Right? Where exactly?
Isn’t it strange how the Met can rev up and attack British patriots but islamic ‘jihadists’ get a free pass?
Exactamondo, hux. Never once did I see any riot police or police horses when the Jew-hater/terrorist fan club mongtards got together. But this is a tactic as old as the hills, is it not? Those people just wanted to walk down the road, and as free citizens in a supposedly free country they should’ve been able to walk along a flipping pavement. But the goon squad form a barricade for the sole objective of antagonizing the patriots so that tensions would rise. They’d made up their minds in their statement they’d posted ahead of time that the people gathering in London to celebrate their own Saint’s day, quite rightly wearing their flags of Saint George, would be labeled ‘far right’ and ‘football hooligans’, because that’s what the Leftard mobs of useful idiots and the West-hating Islamists think of anyone who is even remotely proud of their country and culture, therefore the perfectly peaceful gathering must be undermined at all costs. That’s the objective.
Because every one of those citizens knows exactly what the police are about by now, and it sure as hell hasn’t got anything to do with upholding the law and keeping the peace, as was proven perfectly with how they treat Tommy Robinson on that day, and was subsequently proven in court today. He’s suing the Met now and good on him, I say, because he’s got facts and evidence on his side. Thank the gods for citizen journalists who’ve been consistently filming and uploading the disgusting behaviour of the police, who do not ‘keep the peace’ anymore, but, as has been witnessed today, they disrupt the peace. There didn’t need to be any police presence. There were no counter protestors, it wasn’t as if it was match day and two rival football teams were playing. These were regular people, families, who just wanted to gather together and enjoy the day, but if you see the footage online it’s like they were carrying weapons or wearing suicide vests instead of draped in flags, or something. Completely disproportionate response, just to create trouble where there was absolutely none to begin with. But I think you need to wave a Palestine flag, wear a tea towel round your face and chant for death to the Jews or your homeland, only then will the bent buggers leave you alone because terrorists=good, patriots=bad. A distinct absence of face coverings too, much like the Israel rallies. A stark contrast which is very telling regarding the sanity levels of the different people gathering, I think. Sane vs nutjob, right there.
Check this out. Do you see them go on like this every weekend when the terrorist fan club hit the streets? You’d think somebody was threatening to blow themselves up!

wink——–Diversity travels in one direction. It is a one way street.
I was not sacked for “wrongthink” but I would have been had I not left my place of work. At the end of a training session we were told this —–” You will all have noticed that there are a lot of Muslims and Asians working here. Should any of you say anything to upset these people you will face disciplinary action and possible dismissal” ——–I found this to be preposterous and when asked if we had any questions I asked “If a Muslim or Asian person says anything to upset me will they also face disciplinary action and possible dismissal”? I have never seen a jaw drop so fast in my life and I never did receive a reply. ———So no I was not sacked but I think we can all see the problem here when diversity only works in one direction.
Hi Cj You also need to consider the proliferation of gagging orders, and employers deflective use of the data protection act.
