RAF 'pauses job offers for white men' to meet 'impossible' diversity targets
The alleged move has prompted the head of recruitment for the Royal Air Force (RAF) - herself a senior female officer - to resign in recent days in protest.
GMP (Greater Manchester Police) did something very similar a while back. They said that only applications from BAME candidates would be considered.RAF 'pauses job offers for white men' to meet 'impossible' diversity targets

It was a hot topic at the time but after a quick Google search for the story just now. I can't find a single reference to it

That is the tip of a very big iceberg, the rot runs through the whole service even the Red Arrows have issues [not that they need them as they are no more than a PR asset] glad i'm well away from all that but it pains me to hear from mates still in how bad things are.RAF 'pauses job offers for white men' to meet 'impossible' diversity targets

And yet Sunak is quoted as blaming the MoD when this has ALWAYS been a contortion driven by Cabinet level politicAl posturing. The ethnic targets in the early mid 90s were impossible. Some BAME communities see military service as inconsistent with their faith, their professional ambitions or too restrictive of their ganga habit.....

At a fairly anodyne level it's similar to Lenny Henry complaining about the lack of black faces in the Glastonbury audience. It's just because nobody fancied the setlist (or the inflated ticket prices, but that's a separate rant), there has never been a whiff of exclusion.
The same applies to the countryside.
Allegedly a lot of black folk feel excluded from it?
Obviously that's boll#cks & consequently it's their problem to work through. I don't want to hear about it as yet another stick to beat white folk with

You've visited the Romney Marsh. I'll admit that if you're a person of colour it's apparent that you're not blood relatives and should be treated with suspicion but they do that to 'Everyone'. Who is not a cousin.The same applies to the countryside.

I've had the same experience from Skye to Cornwall. It's not cos I'm black. It's that 'Royston Vesey' was a fairly accurate distillation of parochial rural attitudes
They are all c#nts?I'm equal opportunities when it comes to offending people.

The 'you're not from around here' thing has diminished a lot over recent years as it's not only ethnic minorities that have been mobile. I recall about four years after I moved to the village here that a lovely old lady in the village who had been here since the mid sixties although she was originally from Fort William, was asking me how we were settling in and I said to her that I hadn't really gotten to know that many people in the village and she said 'I shouldn't worry about it, I hardly know anyone here either'. What she meant was that in her case, all the people she had know for decades had either moved away or died and the population of the village changes so often nowadays that there were hardly any longstanding residents around and, in fact, there was only a single person in the village who was born in the village to parents from the village, the Postman, and even he has now moved away.
Noted Marty,
I shall scratch you off my list of potential inbreds & focus on the easy targets of @half ton & @Flynnt20
What about @Big Sandy? He's even further ooop norf than yourself. Surely there's some Wicker Man shit going on up there?

Ah there may be some crazy stuff going on up there but @Big Sandy himself is actually, I believe, from fairly south in Scotland (South Ayrshire to be precise) and, to be honest, there are probably as many English, Polish, LIthuanian and Latvian residents in most parts of rural Scotland as there are actual Scots.

Keep the cunts out of the countryside. They are not wanted here. I dont know of a single black, or asian within 15 miles of me, and am happy to keep it that way.The same applies to the countryside.

That 20mph idea is mental. The folks behind it don't seem to realise or understand that the people tearing up and down their little country lanes on bikes and in 4x4's aren't the kind of people who care about law and introducing a 20mph speed limit will only put tons of slow moving obstacles into their game arena and, at the same time will triple the journey time for all law abiding people including those delivering mail, groceries, parcels etc. to the locals.
