Darlington nurse case flying under the radar

That's an important point. When the nurses' livelihoods were on the line, the vindictive NHS management aligned with the unions and the unhinged NHS activists and the man who was invading the nurses' single-sex space so that they could wreck the careers of the nurses.

If this didn't involve making a stand against "trans rights", the BBC and the Guardian would have been kicking up an almighty storm at such a scandal.

The point is, that any or all of them could have made the decision, but none of them wanted to be the one without a chair when the music stopped.That would have left them facing the wrath of the trans activists and the unions.

The managers who couldn't make a decision and passed it all around the houses when it landed on their desk should all be fired. Hire some more nurses with the money and I bet they'd get through the A&E waiting times quicker and have higher patient satisfaction.

Imagine getting paid that and not even being able to make a decision.

And yet when the wonderful @jophoenixstood up to give her evidence all of the same managers were conspicuous by their absence from the courtroom.

Mind you, if this had been presented to Arthur Miller, he'd have rubbed his hands in glee and immediately set to work on The Crucible II.

Although it seems incomprehensible why an NHS bureaucracy would spend considerable resources to destroy the careers of nurses, the project seems to be driven by NHS staff with power holding a bizarre ideology who, when it is challenged, will marshall the resources of their organisation to destroy heretics.

I mean, this is mad, isn't it?

That was clear from the prickly tone of the Trusts many HR and Workplace managers. No matter how much they tried to deflect onto other staff and mangle the English language, to such an extent they sounded like idiots at times, when push came to shove none of them could hide the fact that in this case the process was very much the punishment for the uppity women who wouldnt get with the program and shut up be re educated and then fuck off.

john harvey jones? He did two different NHS trusts - one was Shropshire and the other was Bradford

Agreed. So angry it hasn't had more coverage.

That's a good summary but make no mistake, in many of the people driving this, it isn't incompetence, it's malice.

The Trust in the Darlington Nurses case has now changed its policy allowing males to use the female changing room because the policy was unlawful. They have offered no defence in the tribunal.

Individual managers have tried to avoid personal blame but as representatives of the Trust (which is what they are in the tribunal) they have offered no defence of the Trust's unlawful policy.

In the court, on oath, the Human Resources managers said they had no knowledge of Health and Safety law and the Health and Safety managers said they had no knowledge of Human Resources law.

All tax payers are paying for this incompetence, both in the managers' wages and in the court fees. This amount can be applied across every single trust in the country. Until all trusts fall in line with the law, the court cases will keep on coming, the managers will keep their £80k plus jobs and the tax payer will keep footing the bill.

Susan Smith has received an apology from Police Scotland

The Darlington tribunal suggests otherwise? All those HR / DEI staff horrified that the nurses aren't compliant and are complaining about being required to undress in front of a man.
As of course do all the predatory men who rock up on here lecturing women about our sins of expecting privacy and safety from creepy men.

AKA "Transphobic hate crimes" 🙄

But you couldn’t call the police and report those things! I mean, I know they’ll turn up for a bent brolly, but I’d like to think that even Police Scotland wouldn’t arrest someone for “failing to undress in front of a man”…

Failing to be compliant?
Failing to undress when Dr U required her to?
Failing to be passive, weak and obeying the demands of a man?

But what were they actually going to blame her for - what crime?

I think it should be hyphenated? Out-cunted?

As for someone wanting a woman arrested - WTF? Who was this who wanted this and on what grounds did they want her (I presume this was SP) arrested?!

Is it the sign of a bloated organisation employing too many people who aren't patient facing but have the time to indulge in niche luxury beliefs?

Years ago there was a businessman, Jerry someone I think, who did sort your business out type programmes on the TV. He did one on the NHS and said what they needed was more managers. I couldn't believe that was the conclusion he came to. It was already plummeting, under (patient facing) staffed and overly managed, in my experience, but he somehow thought that more managers would fix it. Things have only got worse so yes, I think you have made a very relevant point @MrsOvertonsWindow .

What I can't understand is why the NHS has become a haven for men demanding access to undressed women and girls? A haven for those pushing for children to be transitioned despite the dangerous medication and experimental brutal surgery.

How did the NHS lose their way over this to the extent that they openly celebrate the rights of men demanding access to undressing women staff? Is it the sign of a bloated organisation employing too many people who aren't patient facing but have the time to indulge in niche luxury beliefs? The Darlington & Fife tribunals suggest this might be the case?

This was a great piece explaining why the BBC were overlooking major news stories like the Darlington Nurses.
