I hate reform, but nobody should be forced to take stupid diversity training.

Exactly like they said they would, bullshit woke training.

They are just doing what most reform voters do, avoiding education at all costs 🙂

> A Reform UK council leader has confirmed that his group will not take part in diversity **or climate** training as part of their new roles as elected officials.
Funny how they missed that part from the headline. Although I imagine there is a significant overlap on the people who hate both diversity and the environment.
Of course, not turning up to the training doesn’t make their legal obligations go away. I wonder how long until the council gets sued because they implemented a policy that would have been obviously unlawful to anyone who had attended the briefing (either on the equality or environmental side).

Also, people that are nodding and thinking ‘good on you Reform’, they are also refusing any training on how any of their decisions might affect the environment.
So these are the people who will be deciding whether companies should be allowed to put sewage in your rivers, or build a refuse-burning center just outside of town, or deciding whether the old asbestos from the old council building should be disposed of correctly or just cheaply buried in the disused area behind the community swimming pool, _literally refusing to learn about what effect their decisions will have on the environment_ – then making the decision based on, er, gut feel? Not really giving a shit?
I guess this is counted as, er, sticking it to the elite, or defeating the deep state, or something.
EDIT: Before you think I’m just a hippy – I’m not saying building the refuse-burning building is a _bad idea_, I’m saying ‘refusing point-blank to even understand the debate, out of some bizarre principle, before making the call’ is just ridiculous.

Be nice to people, there you go.

So when they get prosecuted the judge is going to say that’s alright then.

If they don’t like the training which comes with the job, they should resign and let someone who is willing to do it in-line with the training requirements take their role.
Laughable that people even think this group of charlatans will be anywhere near number ten in 2029.

Has anyone here actually taken diversity training? It’s literally about being tolerant of other’s beliefs and showing respect. How is that controversial in 2025?

good. [everyone] should be free to do so without fear of penalty.

This ‘story’ was also published over a week ago, and the council confirmed then that the training that Reform refuse to attend doesn’t exist anyway.

This will become a liability issue that’ll cost their councils a fuck load.

Is anyone really surprised at such behaviour? The inbreds who vote for these whoppers will be seal clapping them…..until things start to affect them.

how training normally goes, logs in to workstation starts the training slide deck/automated training, continues to hit next as fast as humanly possible, skim the multiple choice at the end, training completed, gets back on with real work that generates revenue.

You can tell who has done any of this kind of ‘training and who hasn’t’ it’s not some ‘woke’ you have to say there are more than two genders or you get shot it’s along the lines of if someone has a job interview at your place but they’re hard of hearing how would you accommodate that, why should you accommodate that, if it isn’t accommodated how would that person feel, is it an example of discrimination? Like that’s it just that boring lol I wish it was whacky like the reform lot make out, it would make it a lot more fun.

Why do they use the term “diverse”, when the correct terminology would be non-white?
Rednwh195m on
Be interested to see if any of these councillors find alternatives to this training by going on all expenses fact finding trips.

Imagine refusing the opportunity to learn something. That’s not the sort of attitude you want from the people running your local services.

Good….
We had an incident at work between two women (one south african and the other english) and the English woman was told it was a cultural shock for her…. EXCUSE ME? It’s a cultural shock for the south african women to behave like she does in England.
Diversity training is an absolute pile of bollocks promoted by the left which in my opinion just causes the opposite effects… Racism, homophobia is all on the rise and i blame most of this training FORCED upon you…
People get so fed up of hearing it 24/7 and for the regular people that dont have problems with other people in this world shouldnt have to be taught it…
Teach it to the people that have committed offence and thats that.
You dont put every driver on a speed awareness course do you?

Reform is following the Republican party play book, anti woke, anti climate, anti immigrant, anti trans, anti common sense and if taken far enough for long enough anti human race.
It’s not Reform we need, it’s to realise that the things they are for and the people backing the party are the real reason things are going down the toilet.

It’s insane my town of kettering voted green but because Tories bankrupted NNC we all had to be run and merge woth NNC ridiculously unfair these idiots running our council despite my town being somewhat progressive.

Big fucking surprise; this is the ticket they were voted in on…

Why is climate change being pushed as a left/right political issue. It happens whether you believe in it or not.
Being wilfully ignorant is not a proud boast. Being taken to court for actions which could have been avoided if they attended the training is not good use of taxpayers money.
They’re still required to follow the law regarding protected characteristics and still required to plan for the future.
