Title: RAF Recruitment
Post by: Alex on May 31, 2023, 09:29:23 PM
Did you read about white men wanting to join the Royal Air Force being described as "useless white male pilots" ?  Leaked emails exposed the pressure placed on recruitment officers to improve diversity.
What a load of borrocks :rolleyes:  We'd all be speaking bloody German now if it wasn't for  "useless white male pilots"
I do wish they'd all gerra grip !

Indeed.
I wonder who, exactly, described those applicants as "useless white male pilots".

To me, 'improving diversity' suggests prioritising non-white applicants over white applicants simply to increase the number of non-whites in post.
Nothing at all to do with abilities.

Some lefty looking political commentator like 'Nicola Thorp' etc. GB news seems to specialise in dredging up these blood clotting specimens just at present. Jacob Rees Mogg seems to find the worse, whom he then humiliates, without them even knowing he's done it. Very accomplished, a skilled advocate and well done, but God they are so bloody annoying to listen too Jacob!

They do have some excellent guests who are such numbnuts that they are very entertaining for me. I like the ones with a mission statement that simply keep on babbling constantly destroying any chance that they will be taken seriously.

I like JRM, but he doesn't want the job of PM, which is a shame as he'd make a good one.
On reflection, I can understand why he doesn't want it, because half of his party is now Limp-Dems in disguise.  No wonder they cannot agree on anything.
The sooner they're out, the better.

I agree that they need punishing and to be gone. I fear what we'll end up with though as it won't be anybody I'd vote for.

Absolutely my feelings too and more importantly so many of my friends back home ...
