Police force blocks white applicants to boost diversity (UK)
Yahoo ^ | April 9, 2025 | Robert Mendick

One of the UK’s biggest police forces has temporarily blocked applications from white British candidates in an attempt to boost diversity, The Telegraph can disclose.

West Yorkshire Police (WYP) is currently preventing white British candidates from applying for jobs as recruits to its police constable entry programmes.

“Under-represented” groups, on the other hand, can lodge their applications early.

The process has raised concerns that white British candidates are being unfairly treated, amounting to a form of positive discrimination that could be potentially unlawful.

WYP claims the policy is to ensure that “diverse communities” are represented by the officers serving them.

But former officers have accused the force of effectively running a “hidden” recruitment policy that targets certain groups.

One whistleblower claimed that black and far east Asian candidates were considered particularly under-represented and given a “gold” ranking, followed by those of south east Asian origin who were in the silver tier. “White others”, including candidates from Irish and eastern European backgrounds, were bronze.

The whistleblower, who was heavily involved in sifting job applications for recruits, said he raised concerns over the policy with bosses but warned not to interfere.

In a report to senior officers, seen by The Telegraph, he said: “This feeds into a general theme where the pipeline for anyone white British is strangled, whilst anyone not white British is ushered through onto the next available stage.”

WYP, the fourth largest in the country, employs 19 diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) staff - many of them serving police officers - at a cost of just over £1m a year. A report earlier this year suggested it spends more money on DEI than any other force.

Recruits must go through a lengthy process that includes an online assessment, an interview and physical tests.

They don’t want diversity.

They want a goon squad that’s willing for the shilling.

*whispers* they want people with no ties to the UK culture so they will be willing to be exceedingly harsh to citizens.

The goal is genocide white people with the Jews behind the gated communities and the muslims and blacks toiling away at the factories who will never question their master’s orders because of their low IQ

This is exactly what the British did to India when they ruled it with an iron fist. They disenfranchised native Indians and now they’re getting the same treatment in return. The British are weak sucks.

look at what happens to a country like the UK that doesn’t have an actual Constitution that enshrines freedom of speech and prohibits discrimination based on superficial characteristics ...

So, how does diversity reduce crime or put more criminals in jail?

In WW2, the Army asked British pubs and such to segregate their facilities and the Brits refused. I suppose the request was just 80 years too early.

Nothing says “Diversity” like “Irish (or English) Need Not Apply.”

If you have a job to fill that requires real competence, you won’t exclude large pools of qualified applicants. Like Joe Biden excluded about 95% of qualified persons when he made his last Supreme Court appointment.

When Britain exited the EU, I thought they wanted a better path. But apparently not. I’m disappointed in them.
