In adversity, the FCO turns to diversity

4:51pm


The Telegraph reports this morning that four members of the Foreign Office team responsible for a memo mocking the Pope have now been disciplined as a result of the outcry:

Anjoum Noorani, 31, the leader of the Papal Visit Team, has been suspended pending a misconduct investigation and three other staff have been ‘moved to other duties’ and will be sent on ‘diversity training’ by the department [my emphasis].

That’s the ticket!
