British Police Force Uses ‘Positive Action’ to Ban White Men from Recruitment Workshops
Breitbart ^ | October 12, 2017 | Jack Montgomery

The British Transport Police are disadvantaging white, male applicants by excluding them from recruitment workshops.

The force is holding the workshops in London, Manchester, and Birmingham — but one would-be officer was turned away after being told they were for “women and black or ethnic minority” candidates only, reports The Metro.

“I am a white heterosexual male and also a member of the armed forces, how can a public service blatantly support this kind of discrimination and inequality in 2017?” he told the newspaper.

“I am going to withdraw my application due to having been treated in such a manner.”

Metro’s correspondent Harley Tamplin seemed incredulous that the veteran was upset at being discriminated against on the basis of his race and sex, describing him as having criticised the police force “for wanting to employ more women and people from ethnic minorities — yes, seriously”.

It is technically illegal to discriminate against job applicants on the basis of their race or sex in the United Kingdom — but so-called “positive action” provisions in the Equality Act 2010 provide a number of ways around this, allowing employers to target supposedly disadvantaged groups during the hiring process.

The only purpose is to continue, if not enlarge,
the number of victims of rape, sale as slaves,
murder, and acid attacks — which any citizen
or visitor to the UK must now reasonably fear.

Hey, it’s tough being politically correct these days.

I couldn’t pass it up due to the first Halfrican President being so fresh in my mind.

Take care.

I just watched a BBC history of the British Empire on youtube recently and I do believe that there is a significant segment of the British society today that believes that they owe it to their former colonial subjects to hand their country over to them.

A white, Christian, heterosexual male is a minority.

India owes their very improved position in the world (compared to 50 years ago) to the legacy of British rule. Pakistan chose to scrap that legacy and embrace Sharia Law. Guess which one has a growing middle class and which is a basket case now?

The Army didnt turn him down. The Minneapolis PD didnt turn down their Muslim applicant either, in fact made his cop of the year, before he murdered that white woman in her pajamas.
