Ludlow Hospital refuses funding
I can usually laugh off these anecdotes of extreme dogma but this one has really got to me. Imagine a world where fun was outlawed and we were governed by thought-controlling zealots...

Sod em, just spend it on brasses!6

What does it say about the person who thinks men dressed as nurses highly sexualises real nurses?0
-
We not governed by thought controlling zealots though are we. Massive overreaction on your part.
They turned down some money. No one was imprisoned or denied their human rights.
My wife, a senior sister, says it is demeaning and no, don't take the money as it happens. Others will disagree but we're allowed to disagree.

"He said proceeds from this year's event had been earmarked to provide ECG machines for the outpatients and minor injuries departments at Ludlow."
The money has been refused by the no doubt highly paid chief executive of Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust, who said the behaviour was "insulting".
So who pays for obviously desperately needed ECG machines?
It won't be this Government, that's for sure.

Namby pamby, political correctness gone mad, were all going to hell in a handcart, Guardian reading dogma, etc etc etc. I bet theres smoke eminanating from Littlejohns keyboard at this very moment.0

The hospital just comes across as being really humourless.1

Yeah, and it's not General Charlton, either.4

Can see their point...first you start accepting funding by well meaning student types in drag next thing you know you're taking donations from ISIS and Jimmy Saville.
Better to turn the money away and let patients go without on a point of misguided principle and extreme patronising arrogance than let society degenerate further into the hell in a handcart, degenerate cesspit this country is fast becoming.
Bravo Jan Ditheridge you may well just have saved the last bastion of Britain's moral fibre. #givejananobe

Blokes dressed as birds ceased to be funny in about 1937 so frankly this is a deserved kick up the arse for these bothersome do gooders to up their game.1

Britain is broken.
I can imagine all those upset Umpah Lumpahs when Hartlepool try and raise a smile.2 -
So they had previously been asked not to raise money for the hospital in this way but did it anyway.
The self indulgent trannies should have just thought of a new way to raise money.1 -

I think they should have accepted the donation. Then explained privately, that as it is 2017, it could be deemed inappropriate and perhaps next year any money could be raised in a different manner.8

Bet they'll still keep taking money from the government that is actively helping to put more people into hospital.3

Looking at the photo in the link, I find it hard to reconcile with the comment 'highly sexualised'9

I don't know what I'm more disheartened by.
The fact that these people all had good intentions and should be judged by those intentions, or the fact that pointing that out will lead to me being ridiculed by people on here.6 -
Oh well, I better put the stockings and suspenders away then.3

Bunch of humourless wankers.
Us Brits have a tradition of doing stupid and ridiculous things to raise money for charity and long may it continue. People are spending their own time and money to raise money for charity and they have it thrown back in their faces. Pathetic.
Who cares what they do to raise money, as long as it's not illegal?

From the trust web site:
"Jan joined the Trust as Chief Executive in 2013. She is an experienced strategic leader with a background encompassing a broad variety of clinical, operational and leadership roles across health, social care and the private sector. She also has a wealth of expertise in the areas of transformation, delivery, clinical quality and effective performance management. Jan is dual qualified as a registered general and mental health nurse."

Perhaps this is her issue?
In any event, she should actually be getting on with her fecking job and not pissing about on this crap.

The way the money was raised was seen as demeaning. Big difference.
Anyway, according to "PC gone mad" rules so often used on here youre not allowed to be "offended" on other people's behalf and none of you is a nurse.1 -
