New Year Ideology Honours: Chief Constable of DEI and BBC exec involved in Gaza doc
Chief Constable John Robins of West Yorkshire Police has been awarded a knighthood by Labour, a man who openly promotes DEI over ability to do the job
John Robins expressed support for changing UK law to allow positive discrimination in favour of ethnic minority candidates, effectively discriminating against white applicants to force more diversity in the police force. He approved delaying applications from white British candidates while prioritising under represented groups within the force.
A spokesperson confirmed his position had not changed since these accusations came to light, despite it being illegal in England and Wales, and the force described their approach as “positive action” referencing was he referred to as “successful” positive discrimination in Northern Ireland post the Good Friday Agreement.
Discrimination is wrong on any level and always leads to low performance and morale
There is no such thing as ‘positive’ discrimination. Any form of discrimination is not only against the law but totally immoral and dangerous.
In this scenario, when we call on the Police we are in need of help. That need should be met by the best people for the job; male, female, black, white, old, young - non of it matters, its competency. We don’t want people arriving to our aid who tick a box or make some statistics look better on paper. We have seen that so many times
This approach only serves to fail on three key areas when it comes to policing;
Puts public at risk and reduces confidence
Puts colleagues at risk and reduces morale
Insults the same demographic of other colleagues in the force
Insults other applicants for the job who are higher qualified
But as with all things Starmer it’s got to be based on liberal ideology and not practical common sense. DEI is racism and dangerous.
