What is hypocrisy?
The Cambridge English Dictionary defines it thus:
Hypocrisy (hɪˈpɒk.rɪ.si); a situation in which someone pretends to believe something that they do not really believe, or that is the opposite of what they do or say at another time:
“There’s one rule for her and another rule for everyone else and it’s sheer hypocrisy.”
It’s not the first time, and it definitely will not be the last. Cancer Research UK’s CEO, Michelle Mitchell has, once again, demonstrated the incredible hypocrisy of both her own, and the organisation she lead’s, hypocrisy.
According to her recent post of X/Twitter, she is, “proud to be part of the @MT_editorial* Women In Leadership Power List for 2025.”
She went on to say, “It’s an honour to be recognised alongside such inspirational women who are doing incredible work.”
This from the same woman who refuses to recognise Jim Cowan for creating the Race For Life.
Accepting recognition for your own incredible (sic) work while denying recognition to others for their incredible work sounds like a dictionary definition of ‘hypocrisy’ to us.
In Cancer Research UK, Mitchell heads an organisation which has repeatedly and consistently lied about the creation of their most significant fundraising event, which has sought to cover up the truth, which has turned a blind eye to the fraud of its own employee, and which has shown zero integrity.
Yes Michelle, “incredible work” indeed. And incredible hypocrisy.
CRUK by name. Crooks by nature.
*Note: @MT_editorial is the X handle for Management Today.
