FUCK THIS COUNTRY
White British candidates have been temporarily blocked from applying for a job at one of the UK's biggest police forces in its latest attempt to boost diversity.
West Yorkshire Police (WYP) is preventing the budding PCs from submitting their application to join the police constable entry programme.
'Under-represented' groups are currently permitted to lodge their applications early, while applications from white Brits are 'hidden', former officers say.
Concerns have been raised about the potential unfair treatment of candidates, with suggestions of unlawful positive discrimination.
WYP has stated the policies are in place to make sure 'diverse communities' are represented by the officers serving them, The Telegraph reports.
However, former members of the force have accused it of effectively running a 'hidden' recruitment policy that targets certain groups.
A whistleblower who was heavily involved in sifting job applications for recruits claimed he raised concerns over the policy but was warned not to interfere.
He also said black and far east Asian candidates were considered among the particularly under-represented and given a 'gold' ranking, whereas those of south-east Asian origin made it to the silver tier.
