What exactly does DIE stand for? Am I correct guessing it is some kind of ridiculous right-wing conspiracy theory about liberal elites turning us all into women?


I believe the correct acronym is DEI - for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion although I was born in the 1970’s so may be completely wrong.

Oh, thanks. Is it just me, or does that sound like a good thing?

Please explain to me what it is, then. I can't even find a meaning for it when searching online, which makes it likely to be some sort of a fringe view. I look forward to discovering just what it means. As it is GrimPol posting it (one of two on the forum who I have blocked), I'm pretty sure it will be relatively easy to pick it apart.

It's a good thing when applied correctly .Unfortunately in many cases it's used to shoehorn people into roles they should not be in for diversity ,equity and inclusion .

As opposed to, say, endless numbers of Prime Ministers and senior politicians who went to Eton because their parents were wealthy, were fast-tracked into politics due to hefty donations then find themselves in senior roles in government despite the lack of any discernable ability or other worthwhile qualities?

I'd guess that the numbers of inadequate candidates in roles due to this DEI stuff pale into insignificance in comparison to the politicians and captains of industry who get their jobs because of who they are and not what they can do.

You can tell the season has ended 😕


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
