Cutting off their nose?

[Robbie]

It was obvious to anyone with half a brain steveH.

As for the idiot turning down the money being someone earning two or three times what a nurse earns Owlswing,you could be right in this case but make no mistake there are some well paid nursing jobs around, depends on their training,experience and grading,like most other professions.

I read this as your agree with the DHM!

Sigh. The Mail would probably condemn the hospital for its "politically correct" (to use their tiresome phrase) attitude, and just for once they'd be  right. As it happens, though, I checked, and they reported it with uncharacteristic even-handedness.

Maybe they need to see a nurse for a check-up?

I am presuming the comments that it was 'demeaning' meant that it was demeaning not to the people taking part but to women nurses by presenting a 'sexist' idea of them,  possibly too it could be seen as mocking transgender. If they had dressed up in blackface and sung Camptown Races, there would probably be more agreement with the point, though 40 years ago that too might have been descried  as PC have slipped the bounds of sanity.

There does not seem to be a push from women nurses or transgender people to see this sort of thing as oppressive, and in that absence the decision seems to have been taken on preventative offence taking on others behalf. This seems unwise.

How about this for a scenario for a thriller.
Tories on an NHS trust plan to discredit political correctness which they think is labour by gussying up an extreme example of it.
Press whip this up, public think oh no is this life under Labour and at next election duly drop trousers and touch toes.

More like a Brian Rix farce than a thriller surely?

More like a Brian Rix farce than a thriller surely?

Or a Carry On?

Or a Jerry Lewis?

I suppose there'll always be some miserable, humourless, prigs about, best to just sweep round them.

Can't say it was my idea of fun but so what, it was a gesture full of good intent to be applauded.

Well said ippy.

Yes, cutting off their nose to spite their faces. I can understand an ex service persons charity not wanting money from EDL/BNP, but this refusal is just plain silly.

Sigh... Yes, and I was assuming that the Mail would be on the side of the fund-raisers.
