RAF 'pauses job offers for white men' to meet 'impossible' diversity targets

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."

Of course “white replacement” is a dangerous conspiracy theory.

How about the next King or Queen of England be a minority?


If you watch BBC programming it’s already happened. A BBC program about the Queens early years, Elizabeth is played by a Singaporean actress, Janice Ho.

Let the RAF tell its special hires that their planes were also built by affirmative action employees.
