A survey by the Free Speech Union reveals that nearly two-thirds of employees who participate in diversity training in the workplace say they have to suppress their genuine opinions for fear of losing their jobs. The Telegraph has more.
Nearly a quarter say they have been compelled to say things they don’t believe after attending the courses.
Members of the minority communities, where the schemes are meant to benefit, were more likely to find the training conflicted with their views, the survey of 800 employees found.
One person surveyed, a white woman in her late 50s, said: “I think everyone is too scared to speak about topics like this any more and certainly free speech doesn’t exist in my company.”
It comes after Kemi Badenoch told the Telegraph that Britain’s diversity push had been “counterproductive” and that many equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) initiatives are “snake oil”.
The Free Speech Union was set up by journalist Toby Young to oppose cancel culture. …
The poll found that 45% believed their EDI training conflicted with their personal, religious or political views.
The proportion was higher among ethnic minorities and religious groups, and men were more likely to say this than women.
More than a third (36%) said they had witnessed staff being penalised in some way by their current employer because they challenged the training, including 12% who witnessed staff being fired for doing so.
The media and communications sectors were the most likely to penalise their employees.
The survey found that 31% had left a former employer because of their endorsement of “woke” ideology.
The proportion is much higher among minority groups: 43% for black people, 46% for Asian people and 46% for gay people.
Nine per cent said they had such a negative view of the training that they might have to leave the employer who has insisted on it.

Don’t tempt me.
Don’t really get the issue.
If you let lots od Muslims into the country, eventually they’ll need to be buried somewhere. What’s the alternative?
There is not an alternative short of making them all leave the country or be cremated.
If I lived there I might object too, just out of being a nimby. I wonder how many of the objectors have voted consistently for parties that promise to reduce immigration. Reform got 20% of the vote there in the last election so 80% of those who voted either support mass immigration or its not a big issue for them.
There is another alternative, which is the Greek practice. Described here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-34920068 A bit old, but it outlines the current issue, in as much as there being a short term rent in a cemetery – 3 years, then out again at someone’s expense.
Slots for ashes in Italian cemeteries are not forever, though longer than 3 years. Can’t remember time limits on UK graves – maybe 100 years?
Send your departed ones back to the land of their ancestors.
Oswaldtwistle has a 60% Christian population, and a 2% or 3% Muslim population. So I can see how having this cemetery on their doorstep, would rankle.
Blackburn is a different kettle of fish. It is a heavily populated Muslim area.
It’s the natural consequence of Islamification, is it not? Just like how they’re snapping up churches to convert to mosques. It’s inevitable when you just keep on increasing the numbers in the country. Of course they’ll get planning permission, it’s a given.
Bottomless pockets when it comes to overseas wars, not stingy in the slightest when the recipients aren’t white British citizens. Didn’t they just send Syria 11 million the other day?
Meanwhile, Labour showing they’re getting their priorities right once again.
”The UK says it will provide £50m in international aid to help vulnerable Syrians “in their hour of need”.
David Lammy announced the emergency aid whilst urging the transitional government in Syria to protect human rights, destroy chemical weapons stockpiles and combat terrorism.
A statement said the funding will enable “an urgent scale-up of humanitarian assistance when needs are at their highest” and will support the delivery of essential public services in the country.”

I take it those are the brothers in the pic – the prospect of all those dead mozzies evidently fills hem with glee.
Muhammadan’s continuing to invade and take over. Civil war is coming.
One almost hopes they’ll be overrun with new customers.
The consequence of importing millions of Muslims and then encouraging them to breed like rabbits.
