At the time of writing there is violence on the streets of Northern Ireland due to a not unfairly held sense that NI has become more closely aligned with Eire that the UK, and an election in Scotland in which the nationalists are once again going to win a majority, with the stated aim of using this mandate to organise a referendum on independence (which current opinion polls show the public would support).
Yet ironically, in an article the purports to support "viewpoint diversity" in the UK, none of this is mentioned. Not even at a time when the UK is literally breaking apart (which sounds like hyperbole, but is not).
You could change the title to read "New evidence that _English_ workplaces are losing viewpoint diversity", and it would be less egregiously incorrect, but it would still lack perspective.
The whole article is basically a long-winded way of saying that English conservatives don't feel comfortable speaking up for what they believe in, and that is fair enough, with the caveat that conservatives views are now being treated with the same suspicion as, say, communist or republican views were a few years ago.
Also they seem to be using and spelling "polarisation" incorrectly.
