      The bigger issue is that this is happening everyday and we never hear about it.

      I’m all for affirmative action but there needs to be a legitimate process for it. Seems like it’s always a botch job or the process is just highly discriminatory.

      Thames Valley Police promoted an ethnic minority sergeant ‘without any competitive assessment process taking place’, a tribunal found.

      They will hide it better next time and call anyone who speaks out against it as a racist.

      this is why the british police force is in utter decay. Absolute shambles. it all needs reforming.

      Oh it’s another instance of discrimination against white people that I’m told doesn’t happen.

      Racialism won’t eliminate racism. You’ll just alienate the majority and it will be counterproductive.

      Sorry, but this is part of the landscape now. It’s happening all the time.

      Think of the NHS. Why are they so dependent on non-British national employees, when the whole service was planned, created and staffed originally by the British?

      There is an idea hinted at all the time in the commentary that the white working class inherently aren’t up to it. Presumably the idea is that they genetically aren’t capable and smart enough to succeed in the NHS, which requires some kind international of genetic elite, which you can only obtain through immigration.

      It’s sheer nonsense. The issue is simply that we’re not training enough people, and white middle class managers are giving preferential treatment to non-British nationals.

      I think we would have a stronger service if it were staffed with British nationals, because native-level communication is one of the most important skills. There are all kinds of abstract ideas that simply can’t be conveyed if someone lacks native-level language comptency. I think our services are suffering from this.

      The rest of Europe looks at the UK and thinks… what are they doing to themselves?

      Been at the end of something similar, it’s an awful feeling knowing your the best candidate but weren’t selected because your white. If you say anything everyone just calls you racist. So you keep quiet and suck it up.

      I had a promotion offer withdrew after the application scoring was “reassessed”. The person who got the job was black, no issues with that. What I had an issue with is they were terrible at the job and left after 4 months.

      I was later told they were successful for promotion in another part of the country which wasn’t their first preference but failed in my region, they then threatened all kind of legal action because clearly it was racism. It’s obviously not possible for one area of the country to have higher quality candidates……

      Wait till the BBC’s employees hear about this, you are in the minority if you aren’t BAME there lol

      The media has a hige problem with this too, the BBC won’t hire any working class white people but they will expect us to pay the TV license fee.

      Got a friend in the police. It’s happening with women over men as well it’s all about numbers.

      PCSO trainer (the guy that trains up all the fresh PCSO’s) was passed over for a job in the police. So who got it? One of the female PCSO fresh recruits… That he trained.

      And don’t forget being marched into DEI sessions at gunpoint and being told you’re evil and the scourge of society.

      I take it the officer who made this decision and the superintendent who directed it will face no censure or career impairment.

      If your a white heterosexual male, your wasting your time trying to get a different job or any kind of promotion. You are bottom of the food chain now.
      Any individual that comes under the umbrella of D & I is ahead of you.
      This is despite of your qualifications, experience, talent & people skills. They no longer count. If you don’t tick certain boxes you have no chance.
      This not a rant purely observational.

      When you see a person from a diverse background it makes you wonder are they there because they’re qualified for the job or are they there to meet a quota.

      Same with the RAF.

      Best man/woman for the job is what should matter, not what their skin colour is.

      It really is simple and if I’m honest it’s blatant racism.

      You mean the lad that got the job I applied for that couldn’t even speak English and was an “international student” was not playing by the rules? **Really?** well *I never* ^…/s
