She doesn't like the idea of the Met advertising for lesbian and gay police to guard Our Beloved Queen, in an effort to employ 'minorities';
To anyone who is misguided or naive enough not to fully realise what this means - having an equal opportunities policy means that provided the applicants fit the basic criteria of the job spec then they are guaranteed an interview. If there's more than one person of that minority who fit the basic criteria then you can easily end up with ALL the interviewees being there being chosen ahead of anyone who doesn't tick the minority box. This means that if you are white, heterosexual and able-bodied there is no point applying for these jobs. End of story.
