So, is she saying that not being nasty to people, not offending, persecuting and ostracising them are left wing views?
I presume that doing the opposite is right wing then?
“Oh those nasty left wing types and their habit of being nice to people I hate for no reason.”
I’ve been on a few of these types of training courses and they’ve never once advocated nationalisation of public services or that taxation should be higher on higher incomes.
They generally just follow a theme of “we should consider different barriers that exist for different communities and be aware of our own conscious or subconscious bias”. It’s all pretty tame in truth.
In fact I always though diversity training was more about the business covering themselves from any accusations of unfair discrimination or alike than it was anything to do with left wing indoctrination.
Don’t suppose it would be very diverse if it was riddled with right wing views
Is this what they call a self aware wolf?
I’m not exactly a leftie, but I think I’m on board with anything that this odious specimen of humanity thinks is unacceptable.
Everything looks left wing when you’re a Tory
Christ, she’s an awful person, can we just go back to her being as anonymous as she was before her (failed) bid to become PM?
Saves money until they get sued for discrimination in the workplace
Does she not realise that she wouldn’t have her job without that type of progressive insight?
It wouldn’t matter if she was even a good legal professional, because let’s face it, she absolutely isn’t – she’d be overlooked because she’s an *Asian, female* legal professional.
A blindingly stupid hypocrite.
It’s not the left’s fault the right has more bigots in it
If the idea of saying money is needed may dont go around telling the government they are allowed to act outside of the Law like it’s your job to do
Oh wait nope you’d rather push the far right neo nazi talking points for money and hope you’ll be “one of he good ones”
Not public sector, but have been on one or two of these diversity training things (they were “voluntary” but you dare not decline haha) and the trick is to do you best impression of [the Churchill dog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZToP48Mrp8).
Pointless tick-boxing exercise designed to give some third party company (likely related to the CEO in some way) a steady income.
I am pretty happy Suella wants to start tackling insidious partiality creeping into the civil service.
Presumably we will be looking at all the right wing ideological tropes that are taken as a given any time soon.
Apparently “don’t be an idiot” is a left wing view.
I think diversity equity and inclusion is complete and utter bullshit
She’s demonstrating she’s worthy of the Truss cabinet.
Since when was “being a decent human” a just left wing trait?
Well it is hardly going to be riddled with right wing views is it? It wouldn’t be diversity training then.
Has this woman no understanding of corporate reality?
No business can avoid being sued, but they can certainly put evidence in front of a judge. And every piece of evidence that says “we did all we reasonably could” is a zero knocked off any compensation.
I guess that’s a hell of a lot better than it being riddled with right wing views, no?
Left wing views like “Be nice to people”, “try not to be such a cunt” and “Try to see things from other people’s view”.
How outrageous.
People like Braverman are on an eternal crusade against the woke. They can’t and won’t do a single thing to improve the country, but they’d denounce their own mothers if they caught a whiff of woke.
Yeah! How dare people be subjected to treating others with compassion, understanding and kindness. Thats crazy that everyone should be kind, polite and caring for each other no matter their background. Just don’t be a dickhead.
What an absolute ridiculous statement, she should be ashamed because she is being a proper dickhead.
Right wing views aren’t very diverse, Suella.
I find it hard to take someone whose name is basically “Cruella” seriously.
I’ve done said training in various departments and it’s unbelievably mild.
Suella and her friends make it out to be something similar to indoctrination by the Red Guards.
You might almost think that’s because the right don’t give a shit about diversity.
Haven’t they been in charge for 12 years now?
Isn’t it *their* diversity training?
It’s indicitive of how far right the tories have gone that “don’t be a racist” is a left wing view.
She hasn’t grasped that the right wing wants her stuck on a plane ‘back to where she came from’.
What does ‘right wing diversity training’ look like? “The white people are at the top, and the rich – ideally both. Next are the Indian Brahmins…”
There’s an elephant in the room here.
If this training is so divisive, left-wing and wasteful, why has the Conservative government spent the last 12 years funding it?
Honestly, looking from the outside, Britain has gone to hell in the last decade. Why have you guys done this to yourselves?
I wonder when “the left” became synonymous with basic human rights and equality?
being a decent human being is woke radical leftist propaganda
Diversity training as a concept is a good thing. We human beings are after all a diverse species and society is not, and never can be a level playing field.
The problem I have with diversity training is that generally it’s badly taught by people who generally don’t understand even the fundamental basics of either diversity or equality. Centre stage in all such training should be equanimity and the need for empathy. But usually it’s not because it’s some blah blah about whatever someone picked off the internet a couple of days before the meeting. It does bugger all to address the very real issues of inequality and social stigma in society.
Once again Suella Braverman wades in and demonstrates her ignorance by talking about stuff she clearly doesn’t understand anything about.
Social privilege is a thing just as social stigma is a thing and social exclusion is a blanket term for the social consequences of inequality and bigotry. Some people through no fault of their own have access to opportunities and an easier path through life, just as some people, again through no fault of their own, end up more marginalized and excluded and end up struggling through life.
None of this is left wing. If Suella Braverman properly understood Windrush and the birth of multiculturalism in this country which she is supposed to understand as the Attorney General and tied to the Home Office and justice system, she would know that initial opposition to multiculturalism came from the left.
But stuff like white fragility are **far right** talking points.
So here we go again back to the same old situation. Is Suella Braverman speaking from a position of ignorance, or is she legitimately seeking to dismantle civil society in favour of an authoritarian, fascist state?
What she’s implying here is that the civil service is left wing. What evidence does she have to back up her assertions? She is, after all a qualified barrister, or is supposed to be. I can’t think of anyone who would be willing to stand trial against someone who forms their opinions from beliefs and not facts and evidence and what’s on the record. Or is she a Mickey Mouse lawyer who bought her law degree off someone on e-Bay?
It’s an hour at most going through an online course once a year or two. It mostly focuses on unconscious bias and discrimination.
From memory, one example is a manager (wrongly) assuming that a female team member wouldn’t be interested in a promotion opportunity as she recently became a new mother – aforementioned team member was offended that she got snubbed for the promotion as the manager never bothered to ask her if she was interested and offered it to another bloke in the team instead.
It covers things like that. I don’t remember anything controversial in there. It just tells people to treat everyone equally and with respect.
We should really thank Suella Braverman. People all over the world suffer from imposter syndrome, and she’s out here working really hard to resolve that.
Diversity training is totally normal in the jobs I’ve done, and simply boils down to the simple instruction of: “Don’t be a dickhead”. The right wing nutters blow completely innocuous things entirely out of proportion.
Because being respectful of others and not being scared of other people’s cultures is “left wing”.
This just in: Training to reduce your cuntiness is riddled with uncunty views.
Being nice, kind, and empathetic are not political traits.
No, riddled with truths on tolerance and empathy which are simply human guidelines and hold no political sway whatsoever… you’re just such a right wing bell you can’t tell the difference.
Last I checked not being an arse wasn’t a political stance
