RAF 'pauses job offers for white men' to meet 'impossible' diversity targets
SKY News ^ | August 16, 2022 | By Deborah Haynes

The RAF has effectively paused making job offers to white male recruits in favour of women and ethnic minorities to meet "impossible" diversity targets, defence sources have claimed.

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 amid concerns that any such restrictions on hiring, however temporary and limited, could undermine the fighting strength of the service, the sources said.

The defence sources accused Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, the head of the RAF, of appearing willing to compromise UK security at a time of growing threats from Russia and China in pursuit of albeit important goals such as improving diversity and inclusion.

One of the defence sources noted how General Sir Patrick Sanders, the head of the army, has likened today's security challenges to those in the build-up to the Second World War, warning that the UK is facing its "1937 moment".

"Then you look at the head of the RAF and he's prepared to break the operational requirement of the air force just to meet diversity [targets]," the source said.

"I think he needs to be hauled up by the Ministry of Defence and told: This is the defence agenda, get on it."

Gee and to think that they should have done this during the effort against Hitler. Probably means that Canadian and American pilots who volunteered for the RAF back then would have been excluded.

Lot of racism going on out dare. If you’re white, you’re out. The minority tribes are running this chicken coop now with their powerful race cards. White teachers go first in Minnisoooooda. Minority Supremacy has arrived!

The only possible way for the West to fight the Russians and Chinese now is how we are doing it - sanctions, weaponizing the dollar, and throwing proxies into the meat-grinder, like Syria and Ukraine.

Western society, and progressive/globalist control and governance, would likely collapse if faced with a full-scale shooting war and everything that entails.

Wait for the dictatorships and Islamocrazies to utterly wipe out these weak and stupid female and faggot military. If it weren’t so tragic it would be laughable.

F&F Military - the end of the world as we know it.

All this nonsense and cultural deconstruction is occurring with large Tory majorities in Parliament. Britain has committed cultural suicide and is beyond redemption.

Wouldn’t want the RAF to be a meritocracy now, would we?

given army recruiting numbers, it seems like the offspring of these people are wisely excluding themselves from this political, woke government shyte-show.

The Tories make a lot of noise about being anti woke and yet this bs happens all the time under their watch. To be honest, a lot of it happened in the US under Trump too. It’s like whoever’s is the democrsticallybelected government doesn’t matter, policy and decisions are still decided by the same wokist cabal that doesn’t care about public opinion or even common sense and will even work against the government of the day if they don’t support the agenda.

This is unfair to the teachers involved and it is regrettable that official state racism has returned. Set that aside, outside Minnesota I don't see any real harm being done.

The elites consider everyone to be an inferior race.

Never forget that.
