In a beautiful example of a Politically Correctness disappearing up its own fundament, Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service has been distributing posters in gay bars in Edinburgh in a drive to recruit more homosexuals into the fire brigade, which, we are told in a very smug piece in the
Scotsman, will improve the performance of the fire brigade in a way that is not readily apparent, as one would have thought that one's sexual proclivities would have little bearing on how one handles a hook and ladder.
This would be just another day in the life of the "diversity" industry if it weren't for this interesting little quote:
The brigade is unable to give figures for the number of firefighters who are gay because as a policy it does not ask employees their sexuality.
So, the Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service are spending taxpayers' money on a recruitment campaign that they have no way of gauging the success of.
It's a bureaucrat's dream come true.
