4. The DEI conundrum
First look at this from TDS today:
Amanda Pritchard has stepped down from her role as Chief Executive of NHS England amid growing discontent with the state of the health service and the “complacency” of its leadership. The Telegraph has more.
Whilst there’s a certain amount of being thrown on her sword in this … in other words, it’s not all her fault … she was allowed to preside, a la Pam Landy (in Bourne) for the death knell, just as Marissa Mayer was for real with Yahoo, just as Rachel from Accounts is now … I suspect some very real misogyny in those above her in each case, “knowing” she’d fail, as the whole deep state fourth turning idea was that she’d fail … Cressida Dick, Joyce Thacker, the whole shower of non-comps … Priti Patel, Caroline fashion couch Flint, Paula London of late with her hot swimsuit shots on X, assuring slavering men that her “lady bits” aren’t showing … whilst all that’s happening, showing “Women” as narcissistic non-comps, sort of lesser men in a way … at the same time, focus on the so-called men …
…Biden, Starmer, Brown, Call Me Dave, Schiff … it goes on and on in a different way … incompetence plus massive ego and short fuse … you’d have to conclude, really, that we’re not seeing the best of specimens in key roles … and those who are half ok at their jobs are just too old or too Gen X fanatical.
If one of them is halfway competent at her job, such as it is, such as Karoline Leavitt, then you delve, you find she’s married to a man 32 years her senior … in short, we never see much of the trad style senior commander, quite capable, keeps on his known rails.
And don’t forget one reason for DEI hires, esp. in HR:

That was posted, by the way, by a competent woman, a colleague.
Is it ascribing way too much cleverness to baddies in the deep state or are they, in reality, just as incompetent? Or is someone actually most competent, knowing that clearing out this riff-raff by eccentric and narcissistic Trump will leave the country seriously undermanned or womanned by competent people?
Especially as what they’re being taught at school and university is poor quality and ideological … so even clearing out the flotsam is just going to leave gaping holes? And Nole and his Big Ball bright boys? 🍿🍿🍿.
