Ms Thermidor said soon afterwards that she recorded Betsy Bassis, who was chief executive at the time, having a private conversation with then chairwoman Millie Banerjee, during which the latter seemingly played down the matter.
Ms Banerjee said the situation was ‘high risk’ for NHSBT but that she could not ‘fix the ravages or consequences of 300 years of slavery and 200 years of empire’. She also talked of there being a ‘nasty dichotomy’ between different ethnic groups, with Asians considering themselves ‘well above the blacks’.
Ms Banerjee stepped down in August last year. She denies acting or talking in a racist manner.
Is that not the case, then?
An external report into grievances raised by Ms Thermidor found she was not treated unfavourably because of her race but that she and others ‘did suffer harassment in NHSBT because of their race’.
Ms Thermidor resigned in February last year. Both Ms Bassis and Ms Banerjee have vowed to contest her claims at the tribunal.
Our seven year old Jewish son has started to show an aptitude for working with cloth. He's brilliantly creative with making clothes for his teddy bears and if he carries on with this path then he's got a future as a tailor. I have tailors in my family and my wife has tailors in her family. Tailoring was one of the major employers of Jews in the early part of the 20th century in Britain. We now make jokes about how his ability to manipulate cloth is a case of 'there's no stereotype here is there' LOL
ReplyDeleteDefinition of Thermidor
ReplyDelete: a moderate counterrevolutionary stage following an extremist stage of a revolution and usually characterized often through the medium of a dictatorship by an emphasis on the restoration of order, a relaxation of tensions, and some return to patterns of life held to be normal
Please tell me that these names are false applied to protect the guilty.
ReplyDeleteMuch like the history of slavery (which the usual suspects always ignore - that it was endemic and universal until … a bunch of melanin deficient's decided it was wrong and forced everyone else to stop it) the only group who ever ‘weren’t’ extreme tribal, racists was ‘us’ cracker supremacists (I'm more of a Nairns than a Jacob's for the record).
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that Indians and blacks were two of the most racist groups, but the fact is ‘every’ other ethnicity, except whites (the only group ever accused of it – go figure), is as bad.
So (now we whities are relegated to last place in everything, by law) the fact there is now open tribal, whether it is using machetes in the streets or victimhood points in the office, warfare between the ethnics is predictable and … hilarious.
I particularly look forward to the guaranteed Muslim against Hindu (or anyone else being honest) grievances, and an increase in the black victimhood assaults against ‘Asians’ (or anyone else to again be honest) now Parliament and we have been sold to our ethnic betters [much like Obummer, I expect any failures on his part to be due to my, and our, systemic racism of course, not corruption, malice or incompetence].
(note to self: get more popcorn).
