RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: With £7billion wasted, it is time to cease banging the drum for office wokery 

There was very almost a black gap in the present day the place this column usually seems. I had deliberate to take the time without work to brush up on my African drumming approach.

With England knocked out of the World Cup, it may turn out to be useful if I resolve to modify my allegiance to Morocco.

Then it dawned on me that if I did not write something, I would not receives a commission. So paying the payments took precedence over enjoying the percussionist from Senegalese songsmith Youssou N’Dour’s backing band.

No such worries for workers at Warwickshire County Council, the place bashing the bongos is all in a day’s work. The council organised an African drumming workshop for workers as a part of Hate Crime Consciousness Week.

Fairly what bouncing into Graceland has bought to do with encouraging folks to report alleged hate crime is anybody’s guess. Nor are we informed how a lot this Expresso Bongo session value. However, hey, it is solely taxpayers’ cash, so who cares?

In recent times, public our bodies have frittered away £7 billion of our hard-earned on office wokery. It ranges from daft stunts like African drumming periods to frankly sinister brainwashing seminars on ‘unlearning whiteness’.

A million working days within the Civil Service alone are wasted yearly on politically motivated ‘equality, range and inclusivity’ coaching.

Employees on the publicly funded Mental Property Workplace spent 24 days enjoying a specifically designed ‘Respect At Work’ board sport — which sounds a bit like Monopoly for Guardian readers.

‘Declare your pronouns or go on to Jail.’

Public sector organisations, from Authorities departments and City Halls to the police and fireplace brigade, make use of greater than 10,000 full-time range enforcers, on a median wage of £42,000 a yr.

Celebrating range on the taxpayers’ expense is the nation’s fastest-growing job creation scheme.

Again in the summertime I introduced you information of some of the thrilling profession potentialities being marketed. This is a few examples . . .

The NHS is continually pleading poverty, however that did not cease Doncaster and Bassetlaw Instructing Hospitals creating a job for a ‘Head of Management, Equality, Range, Inclusion and Wellbeing’ on the thick finish of £76,000 a yr — triple the beginning wage of a junior physician.

In Surrey, they have been desperately in search of an Equality, Range and Inclusion Lead on 53 grand, plus an additional 5 per cent allowance to compensate for the price of residing and commuting in one of many costlier components of the nation.

However then the advert burdened that working from house was to be inspired. So why the top-up? Presumably to pay for his or her Netflix subscription and Hobnobs after they’re WFH.

The thriller is how they handle to organise all these workshops and seminars when hardly anyone employed by the Civil Service bothers going into the workplace multiple or two days per week. Are you able to do African drumming over Zoom?

And even after they do flip up, in between enjoying woke board video games, ingesting range dogma, and participating in ‘self-hate’ periods, it is not stunning they by no means get any correct work carried out.

OK, so it is easy to mock. However at a time when so-called public companies are a shambles and the nation is mired in post-Covid debt, with taxes at a 70-year excessive, it is nothing wanting a scandal that a lot is being flushed down the gurgler on political fripperies.

The job of the NHS, as an example, is to deal with sufferers. Full cease.

To not inform employees methods to suppose. But if the wage construction is any indication, the Left-wing bureaucrats who run the well being service worth equality and variety officers above nurses, ambulance drivers and junior docs.

With seven million folks ready for operations, how the hell can the NHS justify spending 76 grand, plus perks, on a ‘Head of Management, Equality, Range, Inclusion and Wellbeing’?

What in regards to the wellbeing of sufferers affected by most cancers, or ready interminably in the back of the queue for a brand new hip? As I mentioned, fairly other than the outrageous expense, the actually sinister side of all that is the whole public sector’s ruthless promotion of contentious woke doctrine equivalent to ‘crucial race principle’ — which peddles the lie that Britain is an evil society constructed on racism.

If employees do not buy into this depraved creed they’ll overlook about promotion. If they freely challenged it, they might most likely get the sack after being fitted up on a cost of ‘racism’ or ‘transphobia’ or somesuch.

The variety commissars demand absolute fealty.

It even extends to non-public corporations, who should signal as much as the woke agenda if they’re to face any probability of successful contracts from the general public sector.

All this has come to go throughout 12 years of nominally ‘Conservative’ Authorities. This week, 40 Tory MPs lastly rebelled, demanding that the Chancellor turns off the faucet for every little thing from hiring range tsars to holding woke workshops.

They’re losing their time. There is not any extra probability of that occuring than England successful the World Cup this century. They could as nicely get with the programme. The sport’s up.

Now, the place did I put my bongos?

Six inches of snow within the South-East, the M25 gridlocked in each instructions, faculties shut, coal vegetation warmed up as a result of the wind generators cannot cope.

Absolutely you do not count on this type of chaos in December. It have to be all the way down to international warming.

A drag artist known as Le Gateau Chocolat has complained that after paying £589 for a first-class open return rail ticket from Brighton to Bangor, in North Wales, he bought no dinner and the return leg was cancelled.

He must be so fortunate. If the railway corporations give in to the RMT’s pay calls for, we’ll all be paying £589 for a second class, one-way ticket. That is after they’re not on strike.

Hello-de-Hello! Mystic Wealthy strikes once more

Littlejohn's column from November 2014

Littlejohn’s column from November 2014

Studying the papers on the weekend was like watching my previous columns coming again to hang-out me. Firstly, the unhappy loss of life of beautiful Ruth Madoc jogged my memory that not so way back I wrote a Hello-de-Hello spoof, through which I urged cross-Channel migrants arriving illegally in Kent must be housed in out-of-season vacation camps like Maplin’s.

It was imagined to be a joke. It now seems that is precisely what the Authorities is planning on doing, as a part of a plan to chop the £7 million a day placing them up in lodges.

Elsewhere, there was a narrative revealing that the safety companies are frightened excessive Islamist teams could possibly be focusing on migrants in these lodges as potential recruits.

Funnily sufficient, eight years in the past I had an eerily related thought. I questioned what would possibly occur if Isis began infiltrating lodges right here?

That column was headlined Welcome To The Lodge Intifada, based mostly on the Eagles’ basic. You could not make it up.

Besides I did — not as soon as, however twice. Mystic Wealthy strikes once more.

Hello-de-hi!

Who’d be an employer as of late? Final week we discovered that potential employees will in future be entitled to WFH from day one. Now The Mail on Sunday has revealed that determined corporations struggling to rent individuals are having to supply all types of different goodies by means of incentives.

These embrace subsidised yoga periods, free meals, further holidays for honeymooners, pet bereavement depart and ‘Beer Fridays’. Whereas pet bereavement depart is a novel idea, there’s nothing new about Beer Fridays.

After I joined London’s Night Customary, again within the dim and distant, each Friday was Beer Friday. So was each different day of the week come to that. Beer Monday, Beer Tuesday and so forth. All on bills. Friday was really often called ‘Poet’s Day’, as in Push Off Early, Tomorrow’s Saturday. Or phrases to that impact. Forty years later, everybody’s taking the P.
