The exact proportion of white Christian women (known as ‘white bitches’ in some quarters) in London’s population is hard to estimate. Suffice it to say that they are in a minority.
However, London is so vast that even a minority may number in millions, especially considering that many people who don’t live in the city still work here. Hence, for all the giant strides made in promoting diversity, the offensive presence of white bitches is hard to avoid in most workplaces.
And an institution like Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), which employs over 4,000 people, is bound to have its fair share. ‘Fair’, however, isn’t the right word. For many GOSH employees regard this situation as very unfair indeed.
That was communicated to data manager Catherine Maughan in no uncertain terms. Over the three years she worked at GOSH, Miss Maughan had ample opportunity to peruse the riot act read to her chapter and verse.
On many occasions she was called a “silly white bitch” and a “stupid northerner” (she has the misfortune of coming from Yorkshire). She was kicked in the lift and was threatened to keep her mouth shut or else.
When she still had the temerity to complain, her manager, Adeboye Ifederu, told her she “would be sorry”, and the message sounded credible. In parallel, she received a crash course in multiculturalism when her colleagues explained to her that she had to “accept that in black African culture, men are dominating towards women”.
Amazingly, Miss Maughan was less than grateful for this valuable lesson in comparative religion. Realising which way the wind was blowing, she began to compile a diary, carefully documenting each instance of abuse she suffered.
The worst offences were committed by her colleagues Ayotunde Ojo, Margaret King, and Rebecca Eaton-Jones – in addition to the aforementioned manager, Adeboye Ifederu. To wit:
“On July 31 2018 Ayotunde Ojo told me that I ‘can’t drink alcohol after work on Friday, it’s against my religion and it would be offending Muslims’.”
“On August 28 2018 Rebecca Eaton-Jones called me a ‘f*****g silly bitch’.”
“On September 4 2018 Margaret King called me a ‘silly white bitch’.”
“On October 12 2018 Ayatunde Ojo called me ‘a white Yorkshire girl’.”
“With an aggressive tone, Adeboye called me a ‘silly white girl’ and said he was ‘surprised that I had been a manager before being stupid and inexperienced’.”
“Adeboye told me I ‘must ask for permission when leaving my desk or using the toilet’.”
“Adeboye slammed his fist on my desk in anger which, added with his threatening tone of voice when he said I ‘would be sorry for complaining about him,’ made me anxious for my safety.”
And so on, ad nauseum.
As a result, Miss Maughan became depressed, and her hair began to fall out, leaving her “with visible bald patches and very thinned hair.” She was prescribed antidepressants, but the drugs didn’t address the aetiology of her condition.
Finally, having raised the issue on numerous occasions with her colleagues, Miss Maughan made a formal complaint. Her abusers’ response was predictable:
“On December 17 2018 Adeboye Ifederu discussed my grievance complaints with another colleague Daley Aofolaju at the tea bar in a manner which could be heard.
“Adeboye called me a ‘stupid white girl’ and asked ‘why I had not run away yet like others’.” So there had been others, and why not?
Eventually Miss Maughan had to leave her job, sent on her way with the kind of references that made it impossible for her to get another job. Her only recourse was legal, and she sued GOSH for sex, race and religious discrimination.
The case is being heard at Central London Employment Tribunal, and I don’t know whether or not it will find for the plaintiff. One thing is already clear, however: though there’s still room for improvement in GOSH’s employee relations, its policy on diversity is irreproachable – and that’s much more important.
As to Miss Maughan, she must realise that, while her sex could in theory be a target for discrimination, her race and religion can’t, by definition. Moreover, her race and religion may conceivably invalidate her claim of discrimination even on the grounds of sex.
She and other white bitches must pay the price for the irredeemable sins of the British Empire. If that means getting depressed, bald and unemployable, then so be it. The juggernaut of progress can’t be stopped by a few bodies crushed by its wheels.
I wonder if the word “white” was swapped with “black” how would the authorities, press and court act? Rather quickly I’d imagine.
Management often appears to be a dead weight on the hospital system. It should be abolished.
Data management could be useful but only if it manages medical records, payrolls and the like but that sort of thing can be outsourced and audited by a professional accounting firm on a tight contract with no mission creep.
Like all socialist institutions, the NHS gravitates towards greater and greater bureaucracy. And all bureaucracies become self-serving sooner or later. That’s why administrative and managerial staffs are steadily ousting front-line professionals — doctors and nurses. A good friend of mine, an NHS doctor, one of many who took an early retirement because he couldn’t take it any longer, tells an interesting story. One year his Birmingham hospital had to cut the number of beds for lack of funds. At the same time they hired, for £100,000 a year, a Director of Diversity, who immediately started bombarding the staff with illiterate memos. This stand to reason: hospital beds get in the way of the true mission of government bureaucrats: serving the state and themselves.
Companies listed on stock exchanges can face militant lobby groups at AGMs. These are easily dismissed by most shareholders who fear the fate of ‘go woke, go broke’. However, some soft-headed institutional investors may have boards be infested with militants who think they can insert their ideologies into a productive company at one remove.
“accept that in black African culture, men are dominating towards women”.
Sure. Beat their women to death all the time. USA too. Woman has to know her place.
This story is defamation. The Court Judgment is out and the real truth is revealed.
As a black person, this is seen as a way of ruining my reputation and trying to saboteur my future employment chances. Seeing this story is really character assassination. As a Journalist in the past, news must be verified, true and accurate before reporting, especially legal news related to court cases. Daily Mail only published one side of the story but failed to publish the other side that day. I am so glad that the Truth prevailed and the Jurist were very fair in their judgment.
