Justice for Men & Boys 
Exellent. In the context of Mr. Buchanan’s talk I noticed this about the shortage of mechanics. How Lego could solve Britain’s mechanic crisis (telegraph.co.uk) Of particular interest as my “go to” local Garage for decades has been unsuccessfully trying to get an apprentice for a year now. A quick “Google” of this and one finds any number of such schemes over the past decade. And you just know that any such idea will be fatally undermined by “DEI” because the majority of those interested (white because they are over 80% of the population and male because its they who are interested in things working) are not the “demographic” that will appear in the promotional materials and if too many of the wrong demographic apply, they’ll be put off to achieve the right “targets” for diversity or the scheme as a whole will end because of the “lack of diversity”. Net result continued shortage of skilled mechanics. This is after all precisely what has happened in both the Army recruiting and RAF, where pursuit of the “right” quotas of diversity categories has specifically excluded white males, who it turns out are the overwhelming majority of those actually applying. The RAF having to pay compensation while the Army has to admit its so under “manned” its not fit for war.
While uselessness and inactivity in the Civil Service may be a boon to the rest of us, overall imposing the same DEI mantras and limitations to productive sectors is crippling our productivity and innovation. As Camille Paglia pithily warned us, if it had been left to women we’d still be in grass huts. Actively discriminating against the very people most likely to undertake skilled trades and stick with them for their working life; is a suicidal approach to a modern technical economy.
