Ofcom Staff Given Islamophobia and LGBT Awareness Lessons

Guido has long chronicled Ofcom’s double standards, constantly pursuing GB News and even rejecting the Supreme Court’s ruling on biological sex. Which they tried to keep secret…

A new FOI from the TaxPayers’ Alliance lifts the lid on just how deep this left-wing ideology goes. Ofcom staff can spend 20% of their time – a full day a week – running internal staff ‘networks’ based on race, LGBTQ and religion. In just the last year, they’ve hosted no fewer than 12 “Raising Awareness of Culture and Ethnicity” events, four “Pride” events, and six “Faith” events. Some of these include:

• Three “Internal menopause awareness sessions” – one hour each.
• “Eid-ul-Fitr Celebration (drop in session)” – one and a half hours.
• “Pride event (Edinburgh)” –  one and a half hours.
• “RACE Network welcome for interns” – one hour.
• “South Asian Heritage Month – talk by external speaker” – one hour.
• RACE Network: “Saying Goodbye to our interns” – one hour.
• “Pride Panel” – Two and a half hours.
• Two Black History Month events including a talk from external speaker – one hour each.
• “Islamophobia Awareness Event. External speaker panel” – one and a half hours.
• “Iftar Night – Celebration” – two hours.

Ofcom’s annual budget for these ‘networks’ is £9,000. This is not a neutral regulator…
