NHS staff have been reported for allegedly “intimidating” Jewish patients by wearing pro-Palestine badges and shirts while treating them. The Telegraph has more.
Barts Health NHS Trust, which runs five hospitals in central and east London, is reviewing its workplace dress code following complaints of staff wearing political symbols and Palestine football shirts.
Lawyers claimed that NHS staff have created an “intimidating, hostile and offensive environment for Israeli or Jewish patients and staff”.
Allowing staff to wear such items could breach of the Equality Act, the lawyers warned, adding it was “not appropriate for staff members at a hospital to display their political views”.
At Whipps Cross Hospital, an intern was pictured wearing a Palestine football shirt with two maps of Israel on the back.
According to U.K. Lawyers for Israel, the nurses carrying out dialysis on the patient who had complained, threatened to stop treating him if he did not delete the photograph.
This response was said to breach a “multitude of regulations for nurses” by “threatening to risk the patient’s health”, the lawyers claimed.
The legal group said that over the past year, they had received complaints about “many of the staff at Newham Hospital wearing large badges, attached to their hospital lanyards, with the slogan ‘Free Palestine’”.
They said the badges had been supplied to staff by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

Couple of questions have any of these people in the reshuffle actually been elected..
Have any of them worked in anything or anywhere else not involved with government, pr,politics or lobbying?
Or are they just another bunch of club parasites
In much the same vein, is Ms Gray’s new job something that was already covered by existing staff or have they just created a new non-job to prevent the indignity of a constructive dismissal claim? (Spoiler alert I think we know the answer. The answer to most hurty-feelings in the public sector always seems to be an additional dollop of taxpayers’ money.)
Our elected Members of Parliament have their paymasters..
There is no Democracy…
Notice who’s received the most…. The Education Secretary….
Option C I think.
Sounds like a non-job to keep her in the tent.
A word salad. Which regions and what nations?
Was there a recruitment process?
Did she pass EDI specifications?
I assume a peerage will also be involved.
I suspect no party wants to read her memoirs.
She looks ” white ” to me…oh; dear.
A chair shuffling exercise at great cost to the taxpayers. What a surprise.
“envoy for regions and nations?”
WTF are they on about? This is not the United States of America this is little old Blighty. More “devolution” on the way. More devolved “assemblies” comprising carefully chosen pigs more equal than the rest of us but at yet more cost to taxpayers. In other words more controls and greater impoverishment.
Off-T

More bloody interference intended to screw taxpayers.
Kneel and his bunch of thieving, treasonous parasites are determined to kill the hospitality sector.
Rats getting off Shagger Starmer’s sinking ship.
And what will the “regions and nations” think of it?
My bet is, is that she hasn’t been signed by L’Oréal
They say your inner self becomes etched on your face as you get older…
A nice lesson for Ms Gray that “what goes around, comes around.”
Keir-Ching! will get the same lesson in due course.
