As London’s Mayor pushes ahead with his inclusion guide, Sadiq Khan has put startling new restrictions on civil staff at City Hall.
A lot of expressions are now forbidden at City Hall. Employees have been instructed to refer to illegal immigrants as “undocumented” or as having “insecure immigration status.”
The term ‘asylum seekers’ has also been changed to “people seeking asylum.” Non-English speakers are no longer permitted since it is assumed that they are imperfect and defective.
European Union nationals in the capital will be referred to as European Londoners and their families, or EEA citizens.
Both the gendered phrases ladies and gentlemen and male or female have been dropped by City Hall, which warns that none accommodates non-binary persons.
Employees are instructed to refer to “people affected by period poverty” because “not all women have periods” and some trans males and non-binary individuals do.
Bed blockers and children have also been removed.
The Sun obtained a copy of City Hall’s inclusion guide.
Employees of the Greater London Authority are also required to complete unconscious bias training.
