Reading this Hugh Muir column, it seems that he has come to the conclusion that many of us came to a long long time ago - "diversity" is not working: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/mar/31/ed-vaizey-altruism-not-enough-achieve-diversity
It cannot work as it is a policy that does not have democratic consent.
Politicians could, of course, gain democratic consent any time they like simply by asking the electorate to vote whether they want "diversity" or not.
But they choose not to do this.
One is reminded of the Abraham Lincoln saying about not being able to fool all of the people all of the time.
On his Twitter site Hugh Muir tells us the solution is "less carrot much more stick".
Which is of course the usual behaviour of anti-democratic apologists who want their pet policies imposed on the people without democratic consultation.
You should be careful Mr Muir that the stick is not used against you, as most people in the United Kingdom do not like being pushed around.
