>> well, i'm not surprised at all when it comes to the royal air force, as we know.in its recruitment processes in its ethnic minority. uh recruitment drive where you had recruitment officers referring to the useless white male pilots . so useless white male pilots. so this latest identitarian embarrassment doesn't come as any surprise to me at all. and i think the main issue here is that in the sphere of defence, we're seeing a lot of this identitarian thinking, um, in an effort to be more inclusive. but i think in a sense that this, this culture, this unholy trinity of diversity, equity , trinity of diversity, equity, inclusion, it actually put people off, i think, in terms of joining these organisations . joining these organisations. >> well, you're absolutely right. and the figures back that up, rakesh. we've got the smallest army since napoleonic times, the smallest raf since it was formed after world war one. so many broken ships, they're being decommissioned . we've got being decommissioned. we've got no missiles to fire. and our trident launch was about as ef

when he firstjoined the royal air force in 1980, he was still discovering his sexuality. t might get rid of it out of me. obviously, that's impossible, ridiculous thing to think. flight lieutenant doyle, i'll never forget his name, lovely guy, he laid the charges out against me. he said, "what do you say to that?" and i said, "yes, sir, it's all true." he says, "i'd like you to go outside the room. you go outside the room now, take five minutes, have a little think, and then come back in and i'll ask you the same question again." well, isaid, "no, thanks, sir, i'm not going to change my mind." it was more important for you to be true to yourself? it was, yeah. it was the bestjob i've ever had, it really was brilliant, it was. and it was alljust taken away? snatched, yeah. i was going to say my fault, but no, it wasn't my fault. it doesn't mean you should lose yourjob for what you are. despite his dismissal, leigh looks back at his time in the forces fondly. but now his thoughts are turning to his ill health. do you have faith that you'll ever see any of these reparations?

we saw the scandal with royal air force, where with the royal air force, where it found that they engagediversity drive , that they diversity drive, that they unlawfully discriminated against white men. so i think that all too often diversity, equity and inclusion can be deeply exclusionary at times. >> okay , katie, john went, what >> okay, katie, john went, what do you think of this? is this process being forced? is it exclusionary ? exclusionary? >> i don't think it's exclusionary, but i do think dei done badly does backfire. i think we need to do dei better not not do it. i think we need to recognise that kind of the skills that are needed in a modern army are kind of they exist across all people. the modern army is not only infantry. the modern army includes kind of drone pilots and cyber warfare specialists, logistics and engineers. and these skills aren't necessarily only going to be found in typical places and therefore to try and find the maximum amount of skills in a modern warfare where some of those people may spend their entire lives buying a desk in a dark room, controlling

could forget the shocking story last year, which revealed that white men seeking to join the royal air forcedescribed as useless, while eight male pilots, a number of selection boards to place new recruits on courses were cancelled as they did not include women or ethnic minorities. this is insanity proved to be against the law, with the raf paying out thousands to applicants who have been unfairly disadvantaged because of their gender or the colour of their skin . sky news colour of their skin. sky news revealed at the time that group captain elizabeth nichol, the then head of raf recruitment, had resigned in protest of what she deemed to be an unlawful order, effectively pausing the selection of white male recruits to hit what she described as impossible. diversity targets . impossible. diversity targets. that's when the military go woke. you know you're in trouble because let me tell you, the taliban are not woke. i isis are not woke . they don't worry about not woke. they don't worry about pronouns . the iranian regime is pronouns. the iranian regime is not woke and vladimir putin is a l
