Lets take Climate Change.  If the leaders, engineers, chemists etc are not the best because of DEI (DIE)  then how is that going to help?


Read the book, open your closed mind you’ll possibly start to understand the value of people from differing backgrounds, religions and ethnicities being given an opportunity.

There is by the way a chapter about the KKK I’m sure you’ll find that relatable.

Educate yourself, read Rebel Ideas by Matthew Syed you might just see things differently.

It's just the opinion of a bloke who used to play ping pong, nothing more.

Quoted from Chrisblor


lol flipping hell I work in University admissions and this is a complete load of paranoid, racist and homophobic balderdash. Universities do not discriminate against applicants based on race, gender or the sexual orientation of their parents ffs. Medicine courses do hold back a small number of places (and I emphasise SMALL here) each year for applicants from backgrounds with historically low participation rates in Higher Education, but the criteria to qualify for those places are:

Lived in an area with a low progression to higher education
Lived in a deprived area
Received free school meals in years 10-13
Received a 16-19 Bursary or similar grant
Was a young carer
Lived in local authority care during secondary education
Was estranged from both of their parents or legal guardians during their secondary/further education
Have parents who do not hold higher education qualifications
Have parents who were unemployed or working in unskilled jobs
Have a disability

If you think giving a leg up to a small number of applicants each year from those sorts of backgrounds so they can get into Medical School and become a Doctor, a route which in the past was almost exclusively the domain of students from wealthy / public school backgrounds, where teachers and parents could coach them through the admissions process and provide access to work experience in medicine before university to augment their application, is a bad thing then intercourse me.


Yeah, well….you can prove anything with facts can’t you 😐

Ha ha ha…. Indeed he did. He’s also written some good books & is recognised as a respected journalist. If you’ve read the book you’ll know that he quotes from the people involved in the topics discussed, their views are based upon experience.

He was also part of the FA working party who identified that the culture of the England team wasn’t right when they couldn’t get out of groups at tournaments and players called in injured instead of joining squads.

Gone a bit none football this.

You’re debunking your own argument there. One of the primary benefits of your so called DEI model is that you end up with the best people from the widest possible spectrum of society, not simply the best of a privileged minority.

I have it on good authority that JF had already started looking into it prior to takeover...... the project was shelved when the equality and diversity section was opened.
