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.
You clearly do not understand what a Kings Messenger is and what they do, read Jimlads post just a few up, it’s not a job for former high ranking officers, more an ex SNCOs job - that’s to do with the type of people who are attracted to the job and the remuneration offered.
Personally I want PMs to come from the best educated people in the UK, if Eton, Harrow, Winchester, and Oxbridge educated candidates rather than some local comprehensive and an old school Polytechnic, then I don’t think that’s unreasonable -as I said I value ability and competence, I do not care for quotas, which are generally a salve who think that a protected characteristic trumps ability - try that is a safety culture and watch people die.
Anyhow, having met and worked with Kings Messengers (actually most were Queen’s Messengers) over many years, it is clear you do not really understand the issue, their background or diversity or otherwise and just wanted to spout your criticisms of UK society, safe in the knowledge that you are an “outsider” with an agenda - I fail to see why Brexit has got anything to say on the matter of KMs.
Anyway, I’m bored with this silly to and fro.
You went ad hominem with your first response to me where all you did was pitty (sic) me. you are of course right in everything you say and assert, it’s all the fault of stale, pale, male members of the public school boys who run the UK. 🥱
