Hollywood actress Saoirse Ronan, star of films like What’s That? and I’ve Never Seen It, recently interrupted a conversation between her fellow couch-perching celebrity thesps Paul Mescal and Eddie Redmayne on The Graham Norton Show to ostentatiously point out she was in far more danger of one day being raped by a stranger in the street than either of them was.
Chatting with Norton, Redmayne revealed how, in preparation for a role in an upcoming thriller series, he had been trained by entertainment-industry ninjas in how to fend off an attacker using only his smartphone. Mescal queried how someone would have the time to take their mobile out before being assaulted, to which Ronan suddenly interjected “That’s what girls have to think about all the time. Am I right, ladies?”, prompting frenzied applause from the studio audience, none of whom had the moral pluck to wait until the clapping had died down and then just loudly say “No”.

“The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive”.

So, spending six-figure sums on diversity advisors has been effective – if we use the Covid vaccines definition of ‘effective’.
Imagine how much more discrimination of minority groups there would have been if six-figure sums on diversity advisors had not been spent.
That’s the way we’re supposed to look at things these days. Never mind that there were massively more Covid deaths after mass vaccination, compared with before, in Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, as well as increases in Germany, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Turkey, it would have been so much worse if we imagine how even more massive the increase in Covid deaths would have been without the Covid vaccines. (The problem with anti-vaxxers is that they have no imagination.)
Congratulations to all the woke diversity advisors for their great success in preventing a massive increase in discrimination of minority groups – that’s an even greater level of success than the Covid vaccines.
“”the trust saw eight out of 13 assessed measures worsen.”” Maybe they should take a look at their measures and the measurement methodology.
What this evidence clearly proves is that more DEI staff are required. It’s not rocket science is it?
On double the pay.
Oh, most definitely. Quality shyte has to be paid for.
Sorry – couldn’t read the rest after ‘NHS’ and ‘Trust’ – laughing too much.
Is it really intended to reduce discrimination when people are encouraged to look for every possible difference and then treat it as an injustice? Working as intended.
There are obviously many ‘bullshit jobs’ which have been brought into being by the rise of the profesional managerial class. Just remember that this is imposture and they will be nothing in the horror to come. You will be surprised who remains steadfast and who turns out to be a turncoat. Don’t think about it. They will reveal themselves.
The woketards in the NHS are like the woketards in the Civil Service – going their own sweet way and ignoring (admittedly feeble) attempts by Government to stop their money wasting nonsense. Time for he who pays the piper to start calling the tune.
‘Woke’ diversity advisors’ will always find problems because if they said everything was ok then they would be out of a job.
Its what happened when Personnel became HR and then we saw the explosion in Health and Safety, led by ‘make a claim’ solicitors. All adding cost for deminishing returns.
The NHS never miss an opportunity to spend money on anything but frontline staff and equipment
