      But Redditeurs and Blueskyers told me that DEI is a conspiracy theory?

      ‚At the time, the policing team had been made up entirely of male officers, after a female officer had left by choice to pursue an alternative role.

      Instead of recruiting and filling the vacancy, the force removed the two male officers from the team and swapped them for two female ones.

      The hearing was told the decision-maker was aware the action was discriminatory and had been advised of this by Human Resources, yet still chose to proceed.

      An employment tribunal said the officers had been subjected to „unlawful direct discrimination on the basis of gender“.‘

      I’m convinced that forced diversity is basically just a scheme by foreign powers to reduce the effectiveness of our state functions.

      It reminds me of all of the nuclear disarmament stuff back in the day that was obviously in the interests of a certain country that would like us to not have nukes, but gets to „hide“ under the guise of being a grassroots local thing.

      The police and the military mostly need strong blokes who pass fitness tests. That doesn’t mean that women shouldn’t join, but it’s obviously a stupid idea to prioritise them at the expense of more suitable candidates, or to do advertising campaigns that reduce the likelihood of the actually desired groups signing up.

      I’ve never heard a genuine argument to the contrary that doesn’t basically just boil down to some sort of attempt to shame people with slurs. Yes, it is sexist to say that men are probably better police officers. No, it’s not a bad thing, I wouldn’t even consider it rude.

      Sounds like a lunatic rather than the wider institution. HR said do not do it, they did their job and were ignored…

      I know we like to moan at the police but the system caught the mistake, the person doing it appears to be isolated and wrong and the force has accepted the ruling quickly.

      My only query here is why, given the facts, would the force even contest this? Is there no procedure for leadership to immediately apologise and fix?

      Excellent outcome – discrimination is bad. It’s nice that the entire organisation from HR all the way down were on the correct side, and just one dumbarse manager was stood alone acting illegally.

      Oh cool, so there’s no remedy to it. These officers don’t get to go back to their old jobs in their old teams they were kicked out of because of gender discrimination. The police force just says „oops. We won’t do it again“.

      Always remember a case where a relative in the mid 90’s experienced discrimination based on being male.

      In that case it was the former manager of a drop in mental health centre and cafe was reported to his employer (local council) as he was dating someone who worked in the Council in a different department in a different town but it broke the „not allowed to date other employees“ rule I think the rule was there due to conflict of interests.

      He was reported by the assistant manager, and another high up person both women who at his leaving party admitted „there would never be a man in a high up position there again“

      Relative of mine applied had experience and qualifications, and didn’t even get an interview and found out the centre had only interviewed women, and all of them were less qualified and experienced than him.

      Also the centre was only taking on volunteers and even students who were female, found out they had specifically requested this from the college.

      Relative took them to tribunal, was given a lot of harassment due to it and eventually settled out of court.

      Of course this being 30 years ago and me being a kid at the time I haven’t the best memory but to be clear due to my autism I can remember things older than that clearer than something that happened last week!

      This is frankly ridiculous – the feminists have a huge amount to answer for. They replaced 2 men with 2 women to balance the genders. Why set these ridiculous targets anyway? It used to be coppers had to be big strong blokes able to look after themselves. Now watered down to something ridiculous all in the name of diversity, and that doesn’t benefit the general public.
