The Royal Navy has changed its rules to allow Rastafarians to keep their long hair and beards as the head of a new association has called for the end of the drug-taking stereotype.

The Co-chair of the Defence Rastafarian Network has said work is still required to break the myths around drug use and ethnicity regarding the religious and cultural movement, saying stereotypes must be challenged.

Rastaman that is multiculturalism.

Not a REAL NAVY anymore!

I watched the series on the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier and the captains steward was a rastafarian and he got on fine. Why change the rules now?

Why would anyone think that transforming Western Civilization to accommodate outsiders would be a good idea when the outsiders have failed to build successful civilizations of their own?

IMO it's wrong to adjust the rules, a slippery slope to losing the standards.

melidayoung2 That could be tricky in the engine room !

Disgraceful........

WTF
