Lord Mann report recommends banning pro-Palestinian badges for NHS staff
Lord Mann's independent review into antisemitism within the NHS recommends banning pro-Palestinian political badges on staff uniforms. The recommendation is one of several the review makes to tackle antisemitism across NHS workplaces. If NHS trusts implement the ban, it would restrict visible political symbols at work and raise questions about staff freedom of expression and institutional neutrality toward patients.
"NHS staff could be barred from wearing.. pro Palestinian symbols on their uniforms.. [this] is one of several recommendations in a review into antisemitism.. within the NHS" This isnt about tackling antisemitism. Its about cracking down on any display of support 4 Palestinians
@Mary-The-Cat.bsky.social ( I'm MaryPG Keating)16Because it is illegal to show solidarity with their murdered colleagues in Gaza ? Dehumanisation is complete. Roll on Nuremberg2.
Old man Griffin9And who conducted the review? What are their known allegiances?
Jeremy Millar๐ต๐ธ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐ฒ๐ฆ7Simple solution. Non NHS employees wear scrubs on marches in large numbers. Completely ridiculing the Zionist narrative is the best way forward. From the river to the seaโฆ
Sue Krause7Are we going to see the removal of NHS workers who served in the IDF? Surely, someone who participates in crimes against humanity is not likely to treat everyone humanly.
BlackVelvetBand6supporting the human rights of Palestinians is not anti-semetic
Head Like A Hat5The genocidal Labour Party are just as evil as their Reform siblings.
aquariously.bsky.social5Won't somebody think of the poor poor people scared by plates painted by Palestinian schoolchildren ๐ www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023...
12 Spoons ๐บ๐ฆ4Seems the politicians in the friends of Israel claim their 30 pieces of silver
๐๐๐ฌ๐ต๐พ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐พ๐ฐ๐๐พ๐ถ๐น4Isn't this very similar to the case brought by a nurse who was sacked for wearing a crucifix? She won the case. christianconcern.com/ccpressrelea...
Iacovos3The supreme irony about "antisemitism" being that, if anyone could be considered a Semitic people (yeah, yeah, no such thing) it's the Palestinians. Never has a word been so abused and weaponised to justify the annihilation of a people and the theft of their homeland, and to silence all objection
whiffler.bsky.social3Of course - because protecting some largely fictional hurty feelings is more important than showing solidarity with a people subject to genocide. Fucking disgraceful.
GreenerFutures3Well thereโs an assumption laden conflation. Maybe the review recommendations need a review ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
"NHS staff could be barred from wearing political badges on their uniforms, such as pro-Palestinian symbols, as part of proposals to help tackle antisemitism." Oh look they're conflating opposing a genocide with hating Jews again
Andy Cooper #backzack10Anti-semitically so, because it acts as though Jews are automatically supportive of genocide and the terrorist state. Which is not true and very anti-semitic.
George Hotchkiss3So will this ban anything that could be considered at all political? Will it include religious symbols like crosses or Star of David?
Michiel3on purpose, as a way to silence those who disagree with their zionist bullshit. Labour stripping more basic human rights in the past two years than the tories in the 14 years prior. toilet apartheid, patients inability to disagree now counts as consent, etc. eugenicist country.
Applies to all political expressions does it? That's why only Palestine is mentioned is it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Libby12I mean, supporting the NHS is "political"
politicaliverpool.bsky.social4I mean the conclusion of this, without the recognition that there is a legitimate reason to care about Palestine, is that countries are political, by extension Ukraine flags are political, UK flags, pride, religious symbols, religious clothes etc etc
Matheleine3I presume poppies will be banned too? No?
