Bin the Stonewall membership
(It is just barely tomorrow in London but only just.)
The health secretary has ordered NHS bodies to review their membership of Stonewall and stop hiring diversity officers.
Steve Barclay wrote to ten leading national health organisations, including NHS England, the UK Health Security Agency and the Care Quality Commission, asking them to question whether their “diversity and inclusion memberships” provided good value.
Good value for money, he goes on to say.
I don’t think that’s the best way to put it, because Stonewall’s ideas of “diversity and inclusion” are bad ideas, even if Stonewall gives them away for free. But governments do have to think about the money.
Several organisations and institutions such as the BBC, Channel 4 and the House of Lords have pulled out of the Stonewall programme, which aims to promote workplace equality and inclusion.
That is, Stonewall aims to promote Stonewall’s idea of “equality and inclusion,” which leaves out equality and inclusion for a very few people such as for example women. Stonewall is all about the trans, and it’s not worth any money at all.
