It's quite simple really - I think that to find the best person possible you need to pick from a diverse pool of applicants, not just a bunch of white men. Sometimes the best person will be a white man, a lot of the time it won't be. Traditionally we've never been able to find out because women/people of colour etc have never had a look in.
I'm not remotely surprised that a Tommy Robinson fanboy would find that idea distasteful and even less surprised that a grown man who says lol finds is easily confused![]()
