SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE:

NOT EXACTLY THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN:   Think of the great history, then think of this.  From Fox:   The United Kingdom's Royal Air Force is being pressured to filter out "useless white male pilots" in an effort to hit diversity targets, according to leaked emails obtained by local media.  The messages seen by Sky News also show that a number of selection boards used to place new recruits were canceled if they didn't include women or minorities.  The RAF maintains its standards have not been lowered to increase the number or diverse applicants.  "Selection standards were not and have not been altered and there was no compromise of entry standards and no impact on the frontline or operational effectiveness," an RAF spokesperson told the news outlet.  The military branch is also paying more than $123,000 to 31 White men who it found had been disadvantaged by the new policy. The payments contradict statements by Air Chief Marshal Wigston that the diversity push would not discriminate against White men, sources told the news station.  Imagine if Winston Churchill had been confronted with the word "diversity" when Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany.   How might he have reacted?  If you have any suggestions, send them here, to comments@urgentagenda.com
