It might get a favourable reception among the readership of the Guardian/Observer, then again, these are the people who find the greatest difficult understanding why we have a standing air force anyway. This lady's appointment is pure politics. If the term airman is banned, for example, how are they going to enforce it? Threaten disciplinary action for accidentally uttering it? Then again it might just be matter of generational perceptions after all.

Prior to her current role as MoD Director of Diversity / Inclusion, she was an accountant in charge of Fraud Defence.... I believe the new role was created for her, and so she is now effectively making a £100k living from what is actually a lifestyle choice formed into a job description.
