WANTED: GAY, LESBIAN AND TRANSGENDER GUNGUARDS FOR THE QUEEN
By John Twomey – Daily Express
SCOTLAND Yard is advertising for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender police to guard the Queen.
The Metropolitan Police wants officers from “special groups” to volunteer for armed duty at the London palaces, Windsor Castle and Balmoral.
Yard chiefs ordered the recruitment drive amid concerns that the Queen’s bodyguard does not have enough gay, bisexual and cross-dressing officers.
Yesterday, former Metropolitan Police Commander John O’Connor condemned the move as “window dressing for the sake of political correctness”.
The latest recruitment drive is being carried out by the Yard’s SO14 Royalty Protection Branch.
SO14’s recruitment notice says it is looking for armed officers from all backgrounds to “deliver residential protection through a combination of fixed posts and mobile patrols.
“Successful officers can expect to work at London palaces or Windsor Castle and officers are required to perform tours of duty in Scotland.
“Applications are particularly welcomed from women, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and black and minority ethnic communities/people as these are under-represented within SO14.”
The chosen guards will protect Buckingham Palace
The notice adds: “Selection will be based solely upon merit.”
Successful candidates will have to be “currently or previously firearms trained” and will be expected to work 12-hour shifts. SO14 believes there will be about 30 vacancies by the closing date for applications next month.
But ex-Flying Squad Commander Mr O’Connor said: “These are terrible jobs which no one wants to do. What could be more soul-destroying than to sit in a rusty old sentry box for hours on end?
“From a political correctness point of view, it’s just window-dressing.”
Philip Davies, Tory MP for Shipley, West Yorks, said: “I don’t know whether the Royal Family are going to feel that much safer knowing there’s a transgender outside protecting them.
“This is absolutely ludicrous. This does more harm than good by building up resentment. What’s wrong with just employing the best for the job?”
He added: “I couldn’t give a stuff whether these officers are gay or straight – it’s about the best person for the job. It’s utter nonsense.
“I wonder what’s the cost to the Metropolitan Police for all this equality and diversity nonsense? The money would be better spent putting more bobbies back on the beat.”
One Yard insider said: “You can understand why they wish to increase the number of black and women officers in all branches of the police.
“But does the Queen really want a cross-dressing transgender officer patrolling around Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle – a big butch man in a wig, dressed as a WPC and carrying a machine gun.
“A sight like that would give her the fright of her life!”
Scotland Yard said: “We want to recruit the best people from London’s many different communities. This includes ensuring that this diversity is reflected across the Metropolitan Police in units where particular groups are under-represented.”
