“MASSIVE Waste” | Defence Ministry Blasted For Spending £3.4 Million On Diversity
The Ministry of Defence is reportedly spending £3.4 million to recruit staff on the basis of diversity at a time when the armed forces are struggling with resources.
Former RAF fighter pilot Tim Davies joins Talk’s Nick Debois to discuss this further.

No need for diversity in the military, you recruit from people who want to be there. Recruit the best, be the best.
Training people who hate us how to use weapons and fight…. makes perfect sense to a politician!
Why would anyone want to fight for a country they no longer recognise. Pride, patriotism and love of country has been lost by giving 🇬🇧 away!

It was ever thus. Both Wellington and Nelson had to fight those 'idiots'. Look at the fools the Army of 1940 had to serve under.
Another huge amount of money wasted in the name of political BS.
Won’t be long before we have kier putting rainbows and Palestinian symbols all over the tanks and uniforms! He’s thick enough to waste money like that !
Tim is spot on. The 'diversity' myth is dangerous. I knew I wanted to be an RAF fighter pilot when I was 10 or 11. I joined the Scouts, the CCF then the University Air Squadron because I was determined. I then served. Anyone recruited on a whim at Nando's is not committed.

I think you will find the election system is rigged so only labour could have gotten into power. That's everyone's fault for not forcing a referendum on the 'first past the Post' policy. As a nation you are so divided everyone blames everyone else. That's exactly what government wants. It's exactly why everyone is so angry depressed and feeling lost, because the average Joe has zero control over there own life.

The enemy and their bullets don’t care what colour you are if your names on it then your names on it!
Tim is spot on, intelligent reasonable man pointing to the facts of this lunacy, we are destroying ourselves
3.4 million is a drop in the ocean but when added to other pointless spending the amount can be much larger .
It's not just the military, I work in heavy industry and they are doing the exact same thing.
Well said Tim. The MOD need to stop recruiting by targets, listen to the rank and file and act.
Well said Tim….. absolutely ludicrous.
I'm ex army and I can't believe I'm saying it but I agree with everything this former RAF pilot has said, he is right at every level, if your bad you die and you can't protect this country and the people you care for.
Every individual that is selected other than meritocracy weakens your organisation the more there are the worse it gets. See the civil service for a perfect example.
Brutal 'hate-facts'. They cant handle the truth. It scares them.
I served 23 years and your guest is 100% correct. When I got out some 10 yrs ago the recruitment drive was aimed at overseas territories. Some we really good, others were simply not suited and only wanted a passport. The woke brigade has their nails into the military and is taking us down a pc weak road. It’s the reason I left!
To have a career in the armed services, it has to be in your blood with the understanding it'll be tough, really tough and the acceptance of responsibility when you get promoted.
Under Labour it will not get better but it will certainly get worse.

Tim’s a bloody legend !
Two of my son in laws are Royal Marines. They are in receipt of what can only be described as “woke training”. This involves being forced to set to one side the very cultural aspects which bind the people in their units together such common terminology (language), attitudes (selfless motivation) etc. For example, they have been instructed not to use common parlance (such as referring to a hot drink as a “wet”) because it might offend others who are not familiar with the terminology. Have you ever heard anything like it !? It is reminiscent of a few years ago when Tony Blair wanted to suck up to George Bush and make all messes dry “to bring us in line with our allies”. He had assumed our only ally were the US (!) - failing to grasp that at the time, France, Belgium, Germany , Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand etc were also our allies and the idea that they would render their messes “dry” would have caused little short of a mutiny (to say the least) ! Blair’s proposed “initiative” was dropped within the week, once the senior leadership of our armed forces had “advised” him of his folly….. Why isn’t a similar action on their part with regard to “woke training” happening now ?
It's technically a good strategy. Imagine how terrified our enemies will be when we've weaponised our mentally ill and placed them on the front lines.

SUPERB vid, Tim! Brave, frank, deeply logical. Guess the RAF CoC are STILL arrogant enough to ignore the legal actions against them. "Jet doesn't care about ... will just kill you anyway". How can anyone argue with you, mate? Keep at 'em!
My son has just left the army after 13 year's service, he was going to do the full 24 and had set out his life that way. But in his last few year's all this so called diversity and inclusion just destroyed his mind and it became a complete joke. Having meetings about hurting people's feelings and giving safe spaces, recruits answering back like children, I don't want to get up I don't want to do that, what are you supposed to do with people like that. They where told to not say word's like come on lad's because someone might be offended. When this country goes to war they will beg for these soldiers back.
I hope they have lots of safe spaces on the front line to protect their feelings

Meritocracy creates square pegs in square holes. Anything else is no use and not required.
I like my father, his father and his father before him served our country. We served because our country represented us as a people, as a culture, we served for a shared history and for a vision of a country and its future. You cant change a nations people and then believe those people or the ones you are replacing to serve. Why would we, for what, for who?

When our political leaders get there positions for election by our two key parties from having served in the general office of an elected parliamentary government official for a number of years we get what we vote for. They have very limited life skill and have spent their office life time dealing with the 5-10% fringe dwellers that don’t represent the actual population at large. Unfortunately they do not recognise this point and then proceed to impose these views/ attitude of the minority on the majority and wonder why it all goes pear shaped. We know from generations following generations people are indirectly guided into particular areas of occupations based on people surrounding them and what they and their father have find. This us very true for the military, police and emergency services

It strikes me recruiting target for "diversity" or sex/gender is positive discrimination and will NEVER get the best. Those who are the best irrespective of sex or ethnicity should be the ones who are recruited. PS - I hear on the the media that last year the MoD were recruiting 5,000 more staff taking it to 65.000. I understand this would make the MoD bigger that the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force combined!! How can this possibly be justified?
Love the Boris hair Tim
When did "meritocracy" become a bad thing? Critical roles need the best of the best. Other less vital roles can be shared out on the dreaded DEI [Diversity, Equity & Inclusion] spectrum. Front line combatants on air, water [or beneath] or land need to be motivated, committed and above all competent. Box ticking is such a sick joke when the competent are rejected over the incompetent who hit the DEI targets. I still worry about the likelihood of [dodgy] people with ill-intent having access to weaponry and training!
Diversify and rule.
Lisa Nandy said to Piers Morgan on Breakfast TV just over 3 yrs ago when the debate was about Gender and right at the end of the interview so actually said “ I’d replace the British army with a gender neutral border security force” …..now l think she meant 50% males &50% females but lm not sure now as Labour push up to 77 different genders …….no wonder she’s was dumped leader of the Labour Party !!!…….
