There will always be areas where the make up of those within it is different from those in society, you can cherry pick them as much as you want, but it is funny how the hard graft physical jobs and such never get looked at as something we need to equalise for race, creed, colour, sex, sexual orientation etc. Personally I ONLY care about competence - the rest is window dressing. As to the antiquity of my examples, I also referenced the Birkenhead drill which dates from 1852, a mere 60 years before the Titanic, not that it changed the validity of my point, keep up old boy.
Happy Christmas
Where did I attack ? Evidence please ? If the eton lot wanted a bricky job they could easily get one.
the issue here is with small elite jobs if you can not see that argument. That’s up to you. Just look at the number of PM’s from eton and in the cabinet. It’s very easy to see
as I mentioned Britain is doing better then most countries on diversity.
Yes you have a diverse number of MPs in top positions. And even some of those are so dumb to pander to the racists to get votes. Creating policy and laws that would have limited access to their parents generation of those rules applied then.
I would be interesting to see know how many former high ranking military people of color are part of the Kings Messengers and how many were asked and turned it down.
my experience dealing with the Home office high ups is it still very stuffy and the people at the top on the civil service are from the fee paying schools.
I get why it happens, I’m not a native but live in London and as an outsider looking in it’s def the energy that’s holding Britain back. Brexit, no HS2. The echo of empire still rings o so loud for still so many.
