Reported Pause in RAF White Recruiting To Meet Diversity Targets

[RAFEngO74to09]

Just did a bit of Googling and a previous incumbent of the Gp Capt Recruiting & Selection post who started presenting on all this BAME recruiting target stuff - with rainbow ensemble photos - went on promotion to be Head of DIO Accommodation (!) and is now MOD HQ Head of Strategic Communications with a staff having to come up with all the damage control lines on Twitter. How ironic.

Lots of responses to MOD in this thread::

Ministry of Defence Press Office on Twitter: "(1/6) Operational effectiveness is of paramount importance and no one is lowering the standards to join the Royal Air Force. The RAF recruits for many professions and like the rest of the Armed Forces is determined to be a force that reflects the society it serves to protect." / Twitter
