"Staff told not to say 'ladies' in the Lords"
Context #BrandNewsCorpUKTheTimesBenClatworthy "The House of Lords has been accused of 'pathetic wokery' after staff were told not to use 'offensive' terms such as ladies and gentlemen. Staff in the upper chamber have been issued with an 'inclusive language guide' that lists words and phrases that they should avoid using. These include 'manpower', when neutral alternatives such as 'workforce' or 'staffing' are preferred. Instead of 'common man', staff should say 'average person' and a person's class should be referred to as their 'socio-economic status'. 'Man-made' should be replaced by synthetic or artificial. The guide, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, says; 'The language you use impacts others around you.' The historian Andrew Roberts said: 'It's sad and somewhat pathetic that such ultra-wokery should have extend-ed to the Lords, which ought to have remained above such ludicrous faddism.' A House of Lords spokesman said: 'Parliament strives to be an inclusive workplace where people are valued for the skills and experience they bring. Part of this is providing guidance and information to staff and line managers on inclusivity on an advisory basis.'" #NewspaperUKTabloidTheDailyMail #IRLHistorianAndrewRoberts

@NikitaDoakes [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [03]: I'll bet the slavery abolitionists were accused (of the 18thC equivalent) of being #woke...by people with the same kind of Neanderthal mind-sets and instincts as we see from the #anti_woke brigade today.
