According to the Mail, the U.K. Armed Forces are hiring more diversity officers despite record low troop levels and Government promises to eliminate what they term “woke non-jobs”. Here’s an excerpt:
The British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force (RAF) have more than 40 staff working full-time on improving equality, with more to be recruited soon…
It comes after a report by the Defence Select Committee warned that the overstretched military may be unable to wage an all-out war. …
The figures from the MoD show that the Army has “13 people employed in roles dedicated to diversity and inclusion”, while the Royal Navy has 15.
The RAF has 14, “with a further ten positions to be recruited into”. …
Defence Minister Dr. Andrew Murrison said: “In the financial years 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22, the RAF spent £473,690, £168,283 and £921,110 respectively, funding ethnic minority and women campaigns and initiatives.”
The push for more diversity officers comes amid revelations in the Telegraph of new guidance in the Armed Forces, aimed at removing the Christian tradition from Remembrance Day ceremonies. Here’s an excerpt from their investigation:
The Army’s “Policy, Guidance and Instructions on Inclusive Behaviours”, published in June 2022, states that “Acts of Remembrance, on Armistice Day and others, should be inclusive and seek to avoid being conducted as a wholly religious event”.
The guidance continues: “Acts of Remembrance should be agnostic of religious elements and separated from Remembrance Services. This may be achieved by holding a religious service after the Act of Remembrance.”
Grant Shapps, the Defence Secretary, is said to be “furious” about the policy, with a source close to him telling the Telegraph: “The Secretary of State is Jewish and he’s not offended one bit by Christian remembrance services – in fact, he believes it’s at the core of our nation’s history and who we are.”
Twelve former senior servicemen have written to Mr. Shapps, describing the policy as “a particular insult to our ancestors who fought and died to lead the world in ending slavery” and stressed that Britain’s “civic culture on 11th November is sacred, Christian, tolerant and inclusive on our terms”.
The letter, signed by senior military figures including Major General Julian Thompson, Rear Admiral Roger Lane-Nott and Lieutenant General Sir Henry Beverly, continued: “No one should need to be reminded that this is a welcoming, inclusive and basically Christian country.” …
Last month, the Head of the British Army made shockwaves when he warned that Britain must prepare for conflict “as the pre-war generation”.
However, in the open letter, the former flag officers warned that the military is being forced into a “moral disarmament” due to “the lunacy of pushing woke ideas”.
General Sir Richard Barrons, commander of the Joint Forces Command between 2013 and 2016, told the Telegraph: “The purpose of the army is to fight and win, and that requires some, but not many, operational differences from organisations in civil society.”

Sir Richard continued: “The Armed Forces must reflect the population they defend, and be inclusive of everyone, including its current personnel.”
“In recruiting you cannot convey the impression that you only want ethnic minorities or women to serve. Everyone, including white men, should feel welcome in the Army.”
Government data from December 2023 shows that ethnic minorities make up 10.6% of the U.K. Regular Forces, up from 9.9% a year before. Some 18.3% of people in England and Wales are from an ethnic minority background, according to the 2021 census.
The Telegraph’s investigation goes on to expose the Ministry of Defence’s extensive diversity policies, including the adoption of gender-neutral language and ranks, mandatory annual training on diversity and inclusion targeting unconscious biases and marketing strategies designed to be more inclusive and reflective of diverse communities.
Stop Press: The Telegraph has obtained a leaked plan from the British Army, which aims to relax security checks for overseas recruits with the goal of enhancing diversity and inclusion within its ranks.

It’s getting very hard to believe that this is happening naturally, as a result of British culture. Mostly because Army people don’t care about this nonsense. So this is clearly an infiltration by someone that wants to bring down Western armies.
People who claim to think they can change their sex are by definition mentally deranged and therefore unsuitable for a role in the military – at least that would be my starting assumption
Well I can definitely see practical issues if you’re out on operations with a soldier who now has a ‘fauxgina’ and needs to dilate twice per day or it closes up.
Join the Navy. His shipmates would have him in the barrel every day. Iknow it is a scurrilous rumour but I am ex-Army and genetically pre-disposed to abusing all but my own Corps or Regiment. They do it too. “Where the Army goes the pong goes”, hence the nickname, “Pongos”. I won’t say why the RAF are called Crab Air, or Crabs.
There are two nice German words for mentally deranged, Wahnsinn and Irrsinn. Sinn
on its own means sense. They way it’s used here refers to a state of mind with regards to the universe ultimatively derived from what one senses with one’s sensory organs, Sinnesorgane in German. Wahn describe state of obsessesion with some theory which has no basis in fact other people could understand. Irr comes from irren, a German verb which means being convinced of something that’s wrong due to ignorance. People who believe to have been born in the wrong body obviously suffer from Wahnsinn and people who believe that this could remedied from Irrsinn.
I think there are some who know it’s all nonsense but go along with it for their own questionable reasons- to get ahead or as a stick to beat others with
Well I have to point out the obvious and wonder if this new-look Woketastic transformation is going to mean people are hired preferentially on their gender or ethnicity, as all the other qualities they used to prioritise take a back seat. Hence you end up with a lower quality of military overall as a result. I also wonder if there’ll be any significant change in attrition rates off the back of this if current serving personnel might not like it and want to leave. I guess we wait and watch how this all pans out in practice. And of course Tusk is making changes along these lines over in Poland too;
”The Polish Ministry of National Defense is contemplating the integration of transgender and intersex individuals into its military ranks, marking a potential shift in policy. The move comes shortly after a new left-liberal government came to power under Donald Tusk.
Officials from the ministry noted they are taking the issue of restricted military service access for transgender and intersex persons seriously, and are exploring the possibility of revising regulations in this area. This comes in response to a query from the liberal newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza, regarding the military’s openness to individuals with gender dysphoria.
Historically, individuals identifying as transgender have been barred from military service in Poland, a stance that has been unchallenged until now. However, under the governance of Tusk and his coalition, this policy may undergo revolutionary changes. Following a change in leadership, the current direction of the Defense Ministry, led by Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, is “analyzing” the potential for regulatory changes that would no longer classify gender identity disorders as a “disease or defect.”
“diverse teams, if well led by inclusive leaders, perform better”
This is categorically nonsense. People who have a common background and shared beliefs always perform better than some random multi- cultural hotch-potch with nothing in common.
diverse teams, if well led by inclusive leaders, perform better
say the EDI people tasked with compiling performance statistics. And that’s not even a real claim as the two parts are mutually dependent on each other: If the diverse team didn’t perform better, well, then either the team wasn’t diverse enough to the leader not inclusive enough. That’s the same as with triple-cloth-masking against respiratory infections: If it still didn’t work, this doesn’t prove the idea is wrong, “No, no, no, this cannot be!” but just, that another cloth mask needs to be added. Repeat ad infinitum et nauseam.
A great deal of progress in this area could be made by immediately relieving people making meaningless statements of this kind to give the impression of their preconceived opinions being supporteded by facts while not actually claiming that they are from any post they may happen to sneaked into. They’re not really difficult to spot.
Maybe even better: Eliminate the post altogether as it was probably already created so that more Diversity!-wafflers can escape the need to produce value for money for a real employer instead of getting fed by taxpayers in exchange for airing vaguely good-sounding non-statements.
Just send them in first. The rest of us can watch and enjoy. I very nearly said, ‘watch and shoot, watch and shoot’, but that is frowned upon in the British Armed Forces. Sadly!

A pre-war generation? The British Army is already fighting a war – the culture war. The Foreign Secretary had better tell Putin to hold off invading Poland, Finland, Sweden, Nepal, Mauritius and Tonga.
There’s nothing more martial than the hymn, Onward Christian Soldiers. Though you would be surprised to hear it sung in any church today.

‘Grant Shapps is said to be furious’. But not enough to do anything. All this LGBT and inclusion bollocks is outright demonic.
Who’s running the Armed Forces? Certainly not any members of the patsy government.

Utter, complete and incredibly dangerous insanity. Our armed forces are there to defend the UK, to kill the enemy and destroy his means of waging war – not to meet cretinous “diversity” targets.
“People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” or as the Army has it, ‘because rough men w@nk in sangers’.
“diverse teams, if well led by inclusive leaders, perform better”. Utter bo££ocks! Professional teams, if well led by professional leaders, perform best. We don’t fight for our country or the colour of skin, we fight for survival and our mates. Our mates because we rely utterly on their back up, as they rely on ours. I doubt very much if the Ruperts, and Rodneys, who deal in this drivel have ever really done much other than MOD teaboy. I have known a couple who only got to command a squadron because they needed to have done so to advance within the MOD. Fellating their way up only gets them so far and then they get a nice, safe command to make their mark. Then back on the greasy pole. The pole in question is not one of the mojos who drove our tank transporters in Germany in the 70s and 80s, and perhaps beyond.
I think the LGBTQ part of this is a bait and switch. The real issue will be getting the dinghy men into our army and giving them guns.

Doubtless, the objective, in due course, and probably sooner than later, is to use the recruitment pool represented by the thousands of military age men who’ve arrived on our shores in small boats over the past couple of years. They’d also be more reliable for keeping the uk population in order when a larger minority than the present wake up to what’s going on.
That’s actually already being planned in Germany. The ruling coalition desires to drop the requirement that soldiers in the relatively minor mercenary horde the German state keeps for UNO/ NATO must actually be German. Instead, the envision this to be a pathway to German citizenship. I don’t think they’re planning to employ them against the population, though. That’s just another aspect of their general Melanated foreigners are always great because they’re melanated foreigners! agenda.
I don’t think the “Pink Berets” will be a fighting unit…

Why is the world more and more going against Christianity and why do I keep seeing satanic influence? Why are there horns on the people in that Royal Navy Poster? Why was Baal the center piece of the The 2022 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony? Why do I keep seeing Churches being burnt down over the last few years? Mainly America but it has happened here. There are so many more examples out there.
Is the wakey conspiracy theory of satanists in high places actually true? I’m beginning to wonder.
