Sadiq Khan is set to spend up to £2.5 million on a new Transport for London diversity training programme. The Mayor of London is launching a four-year push to embed an “inclusive culture” across Transport for London (TfL), Crossrail and the Department for Transport and is advertising for a contractor to run the training. The £2.77 million contract runs until 2028 and will extend to equality, diversity and inclusion programmes across the London fire service and the Metropolitan Police.www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/07/20/sadiq-khan-spend-25m-tfl-diversity-training-scheme/How the hell can anyone with an IQ in double figures possibly say the Met Police needs more diversity? Thanks to diversity quotas 10% of Met Police are functionally illiterate, what's the target? 15% 20%? This is incompetence on a scale I didn't think was possible. However, this is Labour. |

Where do you get the 10% from |

Where do you get the 10% from TTL, are you familiar with google?.. “In 2022, Her Majesty’s Officers Inspectorate did a major review of recruitment, something like about 10 per cent of the recruits to the Met at that time were functionally illiterate in English”, he said.link
Other links are available.  |

Diversity training is not about having more black officers, but I suspect you knew that. It's to deal with ensuring that people are treated equally. We also know that there are problems within many police forces and fire services, in fact you yourself have complained. Having said that, that does seem like a hell of a lot of money for diversity training. I wonder if there was a cheaper option. I'm sure I could design something for less. |

The whole world of 'diversity training' or DEI, is a complete myth. If someone genuinely 'needs' to be guided by diversity training, then he/she/it/they/them, quite obviously have a low IQ and should not be in the workplace. So called diversity training is absolute bullshit, it's nothing more than a money making scheme for the companies who provide it, and on a darker side, it's designed to silence sensible people from voicing sensible concerns. And sadly to that end, it is very successful. |

People understand 'diversity' instinctively and training is just modern garbage and a whole business Empire that we all pay for and in the end it means and does nothing either useful or productive. |

Well this is good. Two old men who don't understand diversity training trying to explain to each other what diversity training is, while confirming they don't like it.
It's like an episode of The Fast Show.
This week I been mostly eatin' yoghurt. 🫠

From my experience of diversity training - admittedly all in the United States - I have deduced that the purpose of it is to persuade people like me, able-bodied white heterosexual males, of the necessity for fewer employees like us and more employees of different race, gender and sexuality.
Even if the claims made for the benefits of a more diverse workforce don't actually make much sense, the training tends to gloss over that aspect and seeks to convince us that we are bad people if we refuse to go along with the program and resist indoctrination.

What sensible concerns does diversity training stop you from voicing? Oh boy, where to start, indeed, should I start. Some years ago before we had woke and diversity forced upon us, I was attending a company meeting at head office. It was a long meeting so a buffet lunch was provided. During lunch we were chatting and I happened to notice some chap who was a bit of a loner and wasn't eating. If you knew my background you may understand why I think it's important that everyone is in the team, so no one is left out. I approached this chap and started some light discussion in an attempt to draw him into the conversation, he was uninterested. I asked him if he was a Muslim (Because he wasn't eating) at which point he threw me a distinctly unfriendly glance and stormed off. I thought hey whatever, and forgot about it. The following day I was sitting at my desk when someone asked me to go and see the HR manager. Strange I thought, I wonder why the HR manager wants to see me? No biggie and off I went. I knocked on the HR managers door, it's an army thing, knock before you walk in and don't sit down until your invited to. I was asked to sit, and then it all became clear. Someone had made an anonymous complaint about me asking this chap if he was a Muslim. I wasn't allowed to know who made the complaint, which was a smart move, but I absolutely exploded. I could not believe what was happening. I stormed out of the HR managers office almost breaking the glass in the door as I left and within two minutes was having a row with my line manager. I wanted to know which trouble making wanker had made an anonymous complaint about me for daring to utter the 'M' word and I was ready to walk out. Suffice to say, I was calmed down and assured it was no big deal. That was 12 or 13 years ago, well before people were brainwashed with woke and DEI. I have every confidence that if the same situation happened today I would have been fired for racism, or Islamophobia, not because anyone thought I was racist or Islamophobic, but because today thanks to diversity and woke, my employer would have been terrified in case the Muslim chap went outside the company to make a complaint. I wish woke types, people who think diversity training is a good idea, would go live in an Islamic country for a while. Believe me, it would wake them up. Apologies for the length of this novel. I have actually cut it down. |

People understand 'diversity' instinctively and training is just modern garbage and a whole business Empire that we all pay for and in the end it means and does nothing either useful or productive. Indeed I agree. If diversity has to be taught, then there are deeper problems than a lack of diversity awareness. Civvies always think that in the army, you shout and people jump, but it wasn't like that. Good man management was essential, you had to know your men. Man management in civvy street, in my experience, is non existent. |

This week I been mostly eatin' yoghurt. 🫠 LOL - I think everyone here who has had a job has had to sit through enough of the mandatory diversity nonsense to know exactly what it is all about  Some spotty nerd straight out of Uni droning on about 'micro-aggressions' and 'Unconscious bias' make for a riveting afternoon. Mind you the rush to the pub when he finally shut up was something to behold. |
