The RAF Cadet Suspended for Naming Islam as a UK Security Threat Should be Immediately Reinstated

 How has it come about that an RAF cadet has been suspended from his officer training course for saying that Islam is the main security threat to the UK? The wokification of the RAF is the obvious answer. But what has allowed that to take place? 

The current head of the RAF is Air Chief Marshall Harv Smyth. Last August he took over from Sir Rich Knighton, who has become Chief of the Defence Staff. Air Chief Marshall Smyth actually has a distinguished combat record. Joining the RAF in 1991, he spent 15 years as a frontline Harrier pilot and weapons instructor flying hundreds of operational missions over Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia, Iraq and Afghanistan.

What is behind the trend in military leaders shortening their Christian names? Is it because they want to make themselves look ‘modernised’, in New Labour parlance? Are they imitating the public-school-educated former Labour Prime Minister Anthony Blair, who reportedly told his first cabinet meeting in 1997 “call me Tony”? If so, it would go a long way to explain why they are easy prey for Left-wing bureaucrats in the Ministry of Defence wanting to impose wokery on the Armed Forces.

Air Chief Marshall Smyth ought to order the immediate reinstatement of the cadet who made the comment, which reportedly occurred during a question-and-answer session in a training exercise at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire just before Easter. But such an intervention is unlikely because Harv Smyth got himself promoted under the Blairite Conservatives when ‘heir-to-Blair’ David Cameron was Prime Minister, becoming an Air Commodore in 2015....<<<Read More>>>...
