Article called “Pale, Male and Stale?” reported to the Police as a
Hate Crime.
I have been calling on people from our side to be more active in using the weapons of Political Correctness against its advocates. I recently came across another opportunity to set an example of what can easily be done.
I am therefore setting out below
my correspondence with the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO)
over a blog item entitled “Pale, Male and Stale?” by Lisa Hornung.
Having got no satisfaction I then reported
both the Organisation and the author to the police.
Here is the
correspondence with the NCVO and the police:-

Dear Sir
Re: Your Blog article Entitled “Pale, Male and
Stale?” - complaint
I refer
to the blog article appearing on the NCVO’s website found here >>> https://blogs.ncvo.org.uk/2018/04/23/pale-male-and-stale-three-things-i-learned-doing-research-on-diversity-and-volunteering/?_cldee=ZWFo
entitled
“Pale, Male and Stale?”
This is
an expression which is both sexist, racist and ageist and insulting, abusive
and grossly offensive against older white men.
Lisa Hornung also makes the fundamental error of stating that charities
should be run to make “diversity a top priority”.
Anyone
involved in running a charity ought to know that “Diversity” is not the primary
objective. The primary objective of a
charity is to be run to achieve its charitable purposes. “Diversity” if it is to be considered to be
an objective at all, is certainly no more than a second or third order
objective. Of course what Liza
Hornung
means by this comment, which is contrary to the fundamental Laws of Charity
here in England, is that charities should, in her Leftist, Internationalist
political world view be run in such a way as to conform with her view rather
than in accordance with English Law and practice.
Taken
together this article and the relevant tweet on the NCVO’s twitter account
which reads as below are anti-White, anti-male, anti-older comments which are
grossly offensive, abusive and insulting both within the meaning of Section’s
4A and 5 of the Public Order Act 1986 and contrary to within the meaning of
Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003.

Our researcher @ncvolisa looks at the lack of
diversity in volunteering, and how we can address it:

Pale,
male and stale?
1.25am – 30 Apr 2018”
I am
hereby making a formal complaint against your organisation generally and Ms
Hornung in particular. I shall consider
your response and in the light of that make a decision as to whether to report
this matter to the police as a “Hate Speech” Crime.
Yours faithfully

Letter received from National Council for Voluntary Organisations dated
Friday, 11th May 2018
Dear Mr
Tilbrook
Re: Complaint reference 4/05/18/1
Your
letter of 4 May was referred to me in line with our complaints policy and I
have reviewed your concerned.
The
phrase you refer to is used as a shorthand for the issue under discussion, as
befits the headline of an article. It is
not used in an abusive or insulting manner.
Indeed, the blog post title is deliberately phrased as a question, and
the answer that the blog post sets out is that this ‘civic core’ contribute
greatly through their volunteering.
You
object to the recommendation in the blog post that organisations wishing to
address a lack of diversity may wish to make doing so a top priority. It is NCVO’s firm and long-held view that
organisations are made stronger by involving people of all ages and backgrounds
and that seeking to enhance the diversity of volunteers is a positive move for
any charity.
You may
like to note that the Charity Commission is of a similar view:
In
conclusion, I am content that NCVO and our staff have acted entirely
appropriately and that the blog post raises no credible grounds for complaint.
If you
are not satisfied with this response, our complaints policy gives you the
opportunity to have it reviewed. Should
you wish to do so, please contact the complaints coordinator, Tracy Kiernan, at
this address.

Dear Sir
Re:
Complaint Reference 4/05/18/1
Thank
you for your letter of the 11th May.
We
do not agree with your characterisation of what is clearly a racist, ageist and
sexist “Hate Speech” Crime. In the
circumstances we shall be reporting your organisation and Ms Hornung to the
police with a view to prosecution.
On
the subject of diversity; what you and the Charity Commission have said is
merely a subjective political assertion, as would be the counter assertion that
homogeneity gives organisational coherence and strength.
These
are matters of political and philosophical debate and do not negate the laws
against “Hate Speech”.
Yours
sincerely

Dear Sir
Re: Report of “Hate” Crime/“Hate” incident
I wish to report both the National Council for Voluntary Organisations
(NCVO) and also Ms Lisa Hornung, the author, for her blog item on the NCVO’s
website found here >>> >>> https://blogs.ncvo.org.uk/2018/04/23/pale-male-and-stale-three-things-i-learned-doing-research-on-diversity-and-volunteering/?_cldee=ZWFo entitled “Pale, Male
and Stale?” Such a remark is anti-white, racist, anti-man, sexist,
anti-older people and ageist. It was also put out on their Facebook and
Twitter accounts.
We have made a complaint to NCVO and set out below the contents of our
letter which explains my reasoning. This offending article and the
supporting Facebook and Twitter postings were publicised, inter alia, in Essex.

Like so many parts of education, media & policing the emphasis, symbolism & yes, sympathy can only work one way.
ReplyDeleteThe same point logically could be 'not enough dark, female and young' involved in receiving the charitable rewards which rather prejudges the issue up front,too.
Put as a question is not good enough to hide the intrinsic attack on other parties' right to be respected.
@RT yours is the correct approach. The perception of weakness provokes aggression. Referring to one comment on your other recent article concerning this same subject, it is not for the opposition to preach 'turn the other cheek'.
ReplyDeleteAre these complaints being followed up? I can see the Fuzz just allocating a crime number and forgetting about it.
ReplyDeleteSo David Dimbleby has stood down as the presenter of Question Time on the BBC. I am sure we all know that his replacement will not be Pale Male and Stale but black or Asian and female.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, many of us can remember the World Cup Final of 1966. I am not sure how many ethnic English are in the current England team but I was bewildered to see, I think, three Arab players. Perhaps somebody could fill me on the qualification to play for England now? But we are not alone and looking at the teams, it would seem that few, Iceland and Russia are notable examples, are ethnically homogeneous any more. The result is that the countries are becoming interchangeable. Indeed, just as the elites want, countries are disappearing rapidly to be replaced by a brown soup.
A notable example is Orban's Hungary which has just passed a law criminalising lawyers and others who try to push migrants into the country. Not surpisingly it is called the "Stop Soros Law". The Hungarians and many others in the know now, recognise our George as being one of the financial elites behind the swamping of European nation states with immigrants to bring about their destruction.
Still enjoying Peter Snow's programme on the restoration of old railway carriages and its exclusion of diversity. Peter seems to play with his model railway in his attic. Perhaps, having been one of the chief supporters of the multi-ethnicisation of the England of his chilhood, he is now just hiding away from what he has done as those with the money to can do. But as Peter Hitchens says, barring the civil war he sees coming, there is little else many feel they can do.
The former Marxist and supporter of the Left's dream now realises that he has helped them to bring about England's annihilation.
Good work Robin; there needs to be push back on this sort of thing. My first recollection of hearing this meme was from the Liberal Democrat politician Lynne Featherstone. Yesterday I noticed it dropped into a letter in the Daily Telegraph about the membership of national park authorities.
