And why is the LU board so, to use the words of Greg Dyke, "so
hideously white"? A case of one law for one....I wonder?

Have you met or seen the Director of Human Resources and the Director of
Engineering? Not sure I'd say they were hideously white.

I'm old enough to remember when race, gender, ethnicity etc was never
mentioned as a subject within LT (as was), and in fact everyone seemed
to get on far better then before we were all taught to regard
ourselves as diverse (i.e. different) and to blame every lack of
advancement or ill-fortune on some perceived form of discrimination.

Never mentioned does not mean there were not issues.
People "seeming" to get on does not mean that they did.

The company's policies are there to raise awareness of where there may
be issues that actually need action to ensure that there is greater
fairness and there is not deliberate or inadvertent discrimination.

I don't believe in positive discrimination but equally I don't have an
issue with ensuring that the company takes clear action to provide
proper facilities and opportunities for people to advance regardless of
their gender, age, sexuality or disability. Encouraging women to enter
the operational grades as drivers or controllers and also ensuring there
are proper and decent facilities for them strikes me as an eminently
sensible thing to do as just one example of the policy.
