This is one of those times when the word “intelligence” seems like a serious oxymoron as applied to people tasked with protecting Britain.
Something called a “Mission Critical” toolkit has been disseminated amongst British intelligence agencies MI5, MI6, and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), according to the Daily Mail. The Daily Mail published the leaked documents showing that the intelligence agencies are promoting inclusive language, attempting to do away with verbiage that could “reinforce dominant cultural patterns,” and urging Britain’s spies to declare their preferred pronouns and add them to their email signatures.
This new guidance was allegedly approved by Sir Stephen Lovegrove, the U.K.’s national security adviser. But wait, isn’t the title “Sir” a vestige of bygone days? Is it not binary in nature, as well as being classist? Does it not itself “reinforce dominant cultural patterns?”
The toolkit, shared internally in early December, purportedly states: “Sharing your pronouns, if you are comfortable doing this, helps to create an environment in which this is normal.” It notes, “In national security, look out for words and phrases, such as ‘strong’ or ‘grip,’ that reinforce the dominant cultural patterns.” (Really? Well, not to worry then; the dominant cultural patterns won’t be dominant for long.)
Documents in the toolkit also allegedly state, “Avoid jargon, hierarchy or gender biases,” and strongly caution against the use of the term “manpower.” Sir Lovegrove would disapprove.
“Use gender-neutral language to reflect people’s diversity and reduce stereotypes and assumptions, for example about job roles and functions which need not be gender-defined.”

I am sure that the enemies of the British will avoid triggering them.
Personpower!!!!
The UK’s intel services let Epstein operate for years.
They don’t serve the UK.
They serve the UK’s Deep State.
Far better for them of the public sees them as woke, bloody idiots than the very real enemy within.
... and replacing it with what, exactly?
Either with a language totally devoid of all cultural patterns - i.e., their goal is to totally remove all traces of the "dominant" (500-year-old Western culture), to empty it of ALL cultural signifiers, and to "neuter" it and reduce it to something like soulless computer code (zeroes and ones), or
...to replace it with some gray mish-mash of "all" cultures, so that it no longer reflects the cultural norms of the culture which gave rise to that language, but rather of the entire Earth (from Lagos to Beijing - though I doubt that Nigerians or Han Chinese have anything against "traditional" pronouns), or
...to replace it with a language infused with the NEW dominant culture, i.e., "Woke" culture.

This pronoun nonsense is one of the sillier things of late.
M tells Bond:
“Bond, we need you to start sleeping with the male foreign agents, too. This overly hetero look is causing some of our staff to claim microaggressions.”
The last James Bond was a gay guy named Daniel Craig.
He said he enjoys going to gay bars. He pouts and wears tight clothes. I know he is married but I bet he ‘swings’ both ways. After all he is English.
