White Flying Instructor Sues Ministry of Defence for Race Discrimination Over EDI Recruitment Policy

by Will Jones
10 September 2024 7:30 PM

A flying instructor is suing the Ministry of Defence for race discrimination over a Royal Air Force recruitment policy that gave priority to female and ethnic minority recruits over white men. The Telegraph has the story.

Matthew Coverley had two applications to join the RAF rejected for what he claims were “disingenuous” reasons, an employment tribunal was told.

The experienced military pilot initially thought the decision to reject him was “strange” but started to suspect he had been discriminated against when news broke of the force’s controversial recruitment policy.

The tribunal heard that in August 2022, the RAF’s Head of Recruitment, Group Captain Lizzy Nicholl, resigned “in protest at a recruitment policy to give priority to female and ethnic minority recruits over white men”.

It was heard she complained of “bullying” by those who tried to make her implement it.

As a result, Mr. Coverley launched his tribunal against the MoD and has now been given the green light by a judge to proceed with claims of race discrimination at a full hearing. …

In 2020, he… applied to join the RAF.

Mr. Coverley said he had had “positive conversations about his application”, with documents seen at the hearing suggesting he had been placed in a pool of potential recruits as of July 2020.

However, in November 2020, he was “removed” and had his application rejected on the grounds that he needed “phase one training” because he was not a commissioned officer pilot.

Mr. Coverley said he “never heard anything more about his application” after the initially promising conversation – not even that it had been closed.

He claims the reason for closing his application was “disingenuous” because he did not need phase one training.

In July 2022, he applied to join the RAF again, but received an email two weeks later rejecting him, which said that “aircrew were not being recruited”.

Mr. Coverley told the hearing he found this a “strange response” but had to accept it – before he later found out the RAF had not stopped recruiting aircrew.

Worth reading in full.

Soon everything will look like TV ads where there are 40% more black people than there are actually in the country.

It is true, your figure is probably conservative. One is told that* the only ads featuring all-white actors are for funeral~cremation services, suicide support, life insurance and equity release programming.

*One watches no MSM.

The propaganda isn’t even subliminal anymore. It is right in your face manipulation.

Strangely there are very few black women apart from in clothing adverts. Plenty of capable black men though and always married to a white blonde woman. No white men married to black women and white men are always useless.

Actually even in real life it’s usually a white woman partnered with a man who is black, in my experience, but not every time. But I’ve noticed what you observe on TV and other ads too. Although over here in the Netherlands you do tend to see white men with females of other ethnicities, such as Malaysian-looking.
But I’m still waiting to hear from the resident misogynists ( and their female supporters, apparently ) on who is responsible for this so-called “feminization of the nation” that they keep harping on about. They never seem particularly forthcoming in providing evidence to support their accusations and assertions. Apparently we’re all meant to just go along with that and accept that women are the villains of the piece, despite all evidence to the contrary demonstrating men are the ones calling the shots in most senior positions across all sectors, and no further questions or challenges are tolerated.
Possibly because to acknowledge the elephant in the room would be too jarring for them to cope with: that if there actually is such a thing as “feminization of the nation” to blame for the decimation of society then it’s evidently being ( inc the origins from the past, e.g Rockefeller, Kissinger, Club of Rome etc ) orchestrated, for the most part, by men.
“Prove me wrong”, as they say.🤷‍♀️

Feel free to provide some evidence to back that up, but as I’ve been waiting 3 years for one of my other long-time haters to provide some for the very same unsubstantiated accusation I think I shan’t hold my breath.🤡
Or is “misandrist” to you basically any woman that has no qualms about calling out the bullshittery of blatant misogynists on here?🤷‍♀️
I’ll wait.😁 It pleases me to know i obviously trigger you and your ilk, though. Get used to it.👍

I think you mean the 3% that there actually are, are represented as being about 97%.

What is remarkable is Asians, approximately 12%, are hardly represented at all in TV ads, but it seems they are classified as White or ‘White-adjacent’ so they don’t count as ‘diversity’.

Interesting that a woman in charge of recruitment resigned due to her ( quite rightly ) disagreeing with and opposing this idiotic, discriminatory and potentially dangerous policy. So who’s in charge at the RAF then, who should have overall responsibility when it comes to the running of their organization? That’d be a man named Rich Knighton.

https://www.raf.mod.uk/our-organisation/senior-commanders/

So who’s in charge over at the MoD, who has ”overall responsibility for the department”? That’d be a man called John Healey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Defence_(United_Kingdom)

So we have white men in charge who are actively discriminating against white men, but none of that matters because of the alleged ”feminisation of society”? 🤔Make it make sense!🤣🤡

It is unwise these days to assume ‘Lizzy’ is a woman.

Well done to Matthew Coverley for courageously exposing and challenging this outrageous policy.

Imagine the Chinese Air Force rejecting experienced Ethnic Chinese pilots in favour of Ethnic Africans and Ethnic Indian Subcontinentals, for example!

I took the ‘Queen’s shilling’ in 1969 and left in ’86. As aircrew I can state from experience of the flying world, that I didn’t meet one person of colour who was either a pilot or navigator. I met a handful of such folk who were corporal stewards on VC10s. There were no female pilots or navigators either. Group Captain Nicholl’s principled resignation was a cri de coeur for common sense.
