Our thanks to Nigel for this (Mail). An extract:
“… fears of a repeat fiasco have emerged today after Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard revealed new details about the Government’s latest recruitment contract, set to go live in 2027.
In a statement, the Labour minister admitted the deal would include ‘annual mandated performance indicators focused on enhancing equality and diversity’ – which Mr Cartlidge said could lead to white recruits being sidelined by contractors. [J4MB emphasis. And men. Why the reluctance to state the blindingly obvious, “WOULD lead to…”?]
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the Tory MP said: ‘We should be scrapping all this tokenism. We should be promoting and recruiting on the basis of merit – that’s how you get a stronger armed forces.
‘Instead of us getting the best people, based on merit, we will get people who tick boxes… This will lead to a distorted recruitment pipeline, just as we saw with the RAF. That is the risk.’ “

Justice for Men & Boys 
Can you believe the British government is this stupid?! Given their current record I don’t think British women will do very well against a Muslim army!

When I read phrases like “annual mandated performance indicators focused on enhancing equality and diversity” I can’t help but see bureaucratic double-speak. An indicator should measure results, not be “focused on” political fashions. The armed forces are not a social experiment; they are funded by the taxpayer for the singular, vital purpose of defending the nation.
Performance indicators in the military ought to mean readiness, discipline, recruitment, retention, training standards, and operational effectiveness. To replace these with measures of compliance to fashionable ideology is to hollow out the very meaning of “performance.”
Our adversaries are not testing our diversity statistics; they are honing their effectiveness in battle. They will be delighted to see us confuse virtue-signalling with strength. To pretend that ticking boxes in equality drives counts as military “performance” is not only dishonest, it is dangerous.
