"I’ve been asked to announce that as part of the civil service’s commitment to diversity there’s a new #polyamory channel for people interested in finding out more about ethical non-monogamy. Come and share your experiences and chat about polyamory”

Our taxes are paying for this

It would be interesting to find out how much is spent by the NHS each year on jobs whose title contains the word 'Diversity'. Actually 'interesting' probably isn't the appropriate word here.

I was speaking to my sister on the weekend who has a senior financial role in an outer London secondary school and was asking her about school funding. I asked her if she thinks schools are underfunded and she said yes, but then went on to acknowledge that over the last few years they've cut a huge amount of wastage and are now more efficient with their finances than ever before.

Sounds like austerity has worked a fúcking treat to me

True. Corporate cynicism is a terrible, shameful thing. Especially as absolutely everyone is in on it nowadays.

Bring back good, old homespun common sense, imo.
