Of Course You Did, Because Empty Gestures Are Your Raison d’etre ...

The BBC is 'celebrating' the smoking ban, because of course it is...
Kerr is back at the Calderwood Inn in East Kilbride - a place of special significance not just because it's where he met his wife. It was in this cosy South Lanarkshire pub on the morning of 26 March 2006 that he officially launched the smoking ban
"Sadly I had to drink an orange juice because the press were here," Kerr tells BBC Scotland News.

Because the press would be utterly astonished by an MP who drinks and folled by a glass of orange juice...

They Should Serve As A Reminder That You've Got The Wrong Priorities...

An NHS trust has marked Pride month with rainbow-coloured zebra crossings at one of its hospitals.
North West Anglia Foundation NHS Trust (NWAFT) said it wanted to help shape culture and policies for an inclusive environment.

A piity it doesn't want to ensure its building are safe and in good repair instead.  

In recognition of Peterborough Pride, two pedestrian crossings - one outside the car park and one opposite the main entrance - at Peterborough City Hospital have been given a rainbow makeover.
The initiative was funded by the North West Anglia Hospitals’ charity and similar pride initiatives are in the pipeline for the trust's other hospital sites including Stamford and Hinchingbrooke.

If you've donated money or run a fundraiser for this charity, congratulations! You've been taken for a right mug, haven't you?  

Jo Bennis, Chief Nurse at NWAFT, said: “As the executive link with our LGBTQIA+ staff network, I’m really proud that we continue to support our colleagues, patients and local community – not only during Pride, but always.
“We hope these rainbow crossings represent celebration, raise awareness, and serve as a reminder to our colleagues and visitors that we are an inclusive trust.

That's not what they are representing, is it? 

The trust said the staff network also regularly delivered lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ colleagues to the executive board and was innovative in its approach to new working ways for staff.

I wonder just what that means...
