As an ex-squaddie this video is very interesting showing what our service personnel get paid and an iSight to what they have pay. When I left my pay was £25 a week and £2.50 for food and accommodation, some of which was good and others ……

What are absolute joke. When I was serving in the army based in Woolwich, I would work 70 hour weeks minimum and get around about £1.8-2.4k a month. Plus extras, depending on exercise, or other duties you could get more. Less than 10% increase is disgraceful. In my personal opinion to maintain a well professional force me to pay them well and give them a very good welfare, which the army is currently failing to provide. Military personnel have to live in terrible living conditions, sometimes with no running water or even hot water, mouldy ceilings and flaky paint. Luckily for me Woolwich barracks was basically brand-new at the time I was serving there. And to be honest Private soldiers fresh from phase 2 training should be starting at 35, grand a year after tax salaries minimum. I’m not saying don’t join the military because it is a good life, but the military needs a big change and a complete remodel if it’s going to be a successful fighting force in the future

Relatively old video, but you’ve completely messed up the concept of ‘positive’ discrimination. ‘Positive’ in this context means to add something. In this case, the RAF’s attempts to add women/lgbtq/ethnic minorities to their workforce by focusing solely on these groups. ‘Negative’ discrimination is putting barriers in place to recruitment of these groups or flat out trying to remove them from the RAF workforce purely because they are female/lgbtq/ethnic minority. The term has absolutely nothing to do with positive/negative emotions or feelings. You need to be aware that by failing to educate yourself on what these terms mean before posting a video of this nature may incite hatred against these groups based on flawed logic. You really should be holding yourself to a higher standard and sourcing accurate definitions and facts, as there are impressionable viewers coming to your channel for information.

Thank you for your commenting and sharing your point of view. Taken from the Government Website - Positive Action in the Workplace "Positive Discrimination is defined as: the practice or policy of favouring individuals belonging to groups regarded as disadvantaged or subject to discrimination. Positive discrimination is unlawful in Great Britain. If an action treating a particular group more favourably does not meet the statutory requirements in the Act for taking positive action, then it is likely to be unlawful direct discrimination under the Act, irrespective of the motives behind taking it." It was found by an inquiry by the MoD that what the RAF did was positive discrimination and not positive action like the RAF had thought and which is legal under the Equality Act. There is a very fine line between Positive Discrimination (unlawful) and Positive Action (lawful). The RAF crossed the line and paid out compensation to the affected individuals. I don't think I 'messed up the concept' at all and the context in which I use 'positive' is correct as per the excerpt taken from the Gov website and the definition of 'Positive Discrimination'. What I have stated are facts, taken from reputable sources, i.e. Gov website. I take this very seriously and do hold myself to a high standard. You may not agree with my opinion or what I have put across and that is absolutely fine.

@@thesavvysquaddie Hi, thanks for your reply. The ‘messing up’ I was referring to was the implication you made that the RAF was putting a spin on their discrimination by calling it “positive”. Your statement implied that the RAF was trying to justify its policy by claiming it was a “positive”. In your incorrect use of the term, you clearly meant ‘happy’, ‘good’, ‘beneficial’ as the definition of “positive”, which is incorrect. My comment in no way referred to the legality of the RAF’s approach. “Positive” in this context isn’t about happy/joyful outcomes. It’s purely about “adding” people to a workplace. Videos on this topic which incorrectly frame positive discrimination as something that government departments are ‘happy’ about implementing (as you suggested at the end of your video) puts minority groups in this country at risk. Please use the correct definitions in future videos. Thanks again for your response.

I can perfectly accept criticism which was what I was asking for as you did not provide any useful feedback via your initial comment. Your comment added no actionable or useful value. There is nothing in your comment that I am able to take away as useful information to then improve upon. This is a fact. You can perceive that as rude if you'd like but that doesn't change that fact. I welcome criticism, please provide some. Take what I said in the video, show me what you disagree with and inform me otherwise. Share your opinion, your point of view. Help me understand where I may have had an "ill conceived interpretation". Your initial comment is not constructive criticism. Therefore it is not useful and does not have any value. I then asked you to provide that feedback and you still have not. Instead you have taken my response as rude and tell me I shouldn't make videos if I can't take criticism. I would never suggest to you that you should not post online if you are unable to take criticism, which, at least form this short interaction, seems to be the case seeing as you found my constructive critique of your initial response as rude and failed to even implement any of the suggestions I laid out. If you disagree with me, then change my mind. I am open to it. I don't claim to have all the answers, no one does but unless you actually provide some form of coherent, relevant, constructive and valuable counter to the points I presented in the video, then I shall continue to hold my opinions and your initial comment continues to have no actionable value.
