If they continue with their despicable plans then Wednesday could see totally untrained individuals attempting to coordinate diversity."</p> <p>No government spokesperson was available for comment tonight.</p> <p>Kristen Shelby-Jones, a person with a sense of entitlement who reads the Guardian and lives in Hampstead, said: "When I finished my sociology degree I was really angry about how white, male and middle-class Britain was. I was offered a job with Islington Council as a Diversity Coordinator, and it was just perfect. In four years in the role, my main responsibility has been to look at interview shortlists once a fortnight and write 'need more blacks and women' in green pen across it before handing it back to HR."</p> <p>Meanwhile, junior and middle managers across the land look forward to a day of making good hiring decisions without some interfering witch sticking her nose in. Or at least reassuring the emergency Diversity Coordinator that they hired a dwarf last week. </p>
