Two members of the UK House of Lords bullied for refusing to take anti-bullying training
In a case of irony that’s so bitter I’m sure they don’t see it, two octogenarian members of Britain’s upper legislative chamber The House of Lords have been banned from parliament’s bars, restaurants, and library for refusing to take a sexual harassment and bullying training program. That’s right. They’re being banned from parliamentary facilities. They’re being bullied by the people who want them to take the anti-bullying training by a vote of 315 to 86 of their fellow peers.
With excellent dry British wit, one of the bullied peers had this to say;
Lord Willoughby de Broke [age 82] had described the training as “virtue signalling”, saying: “However much training I get I will never value everyone; as an example, I will never be able to value murderous terrorists, however many re-education or self-criticism camps I am required to attend.”
I can’t fault that line of thinking. Another conservative member of parliament (MP) said;
One Tory MP, Ben Bradley, who broke ranks and publicly rejected the training, calling it “indoctrination”, telling Breitbart London that after having been “forced to do three hours of ‘Valuing Everybody’ training which was three quarters of a million quid of ‘Be nice to your staff and don’t sexually harass them’”, he was confronted with the prospect of “‘unconscious bias training’ — £7,000 for the planning, they use a nice blue puppet. Like primary school style stuff… Really mad stuff.”

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.
If Leftie indoctrination made better citizens some of our resident DHs would probably rely less on name calling and more on reasonable arguments
And no, the above statement does not make me recoil in horror over my hypocrisy asI have no morals, and never claimed the high ground.
Excellent.
Further proof that Englandistan is doomed. The Nazis couldn’t take it down in the 1940’s, but the Progs have succeeded where Adolf failed. Pathetic.
The movie “Idiocracy” was supposed to be a comedy, not a prophecy.
The Sun has set on the British Empire. America, we’re next.
I guess everyone has some value, kinda sorta. Some can serve as bad examples, others as wastes of oxygen, and others can become worm or buzzard food.
According to the Missus(Enfield, North London girl), this is really much T’do ‘bout nothing. Basically(said she), this is just more of the scattered flocks of the UK’s former colonialism coming home to roost, while at the same time kinda biting the Empirical lion in the ass..*shrug* Predictably, the old-guard’s a bit riled now that they’ve been woked. And from my view, rgr769 – you’re not wrong. According to a long-time friend, the UK isn’t doomed but it ain’t far from it. Couple years ago, I asked him why he and his wife moved to Canada, he would relate – “We left the UK the very same day that John Cleese did, I don’t know why he left but I served my country for over twenty two years, I made the decision to leave the country I loved because I was fed up and ashamed for my country for the gawdawful things they’d done to the British Army I served in.” So yeah, compared to what UK, was – pathetic
Political correctness is a form of insanity.
Well bully for them for not knuckling under to the PC crowd.
