Paul's seems to be case of recruiting people who can't do what the redundant ones could.

Oh yes it does.
Company policies and company culture and with very little else.

So I can't weep when someone else, who hasn't had to suck it up before now has to for a while.

The difficult bit is when the person selecting "the best" has a preconceived idea of what is best. With the best will in the world that can be self limiting.
I think positive discrimination has its place and can actually improve the outcome. But its by no means guaranteed and needs to be judged by results.

Keeping it very simple. If you have a pool of 10 men and 2 women doing more or less the same job. You put them through blind marked psychometric testing - ignoring the results of that (as the result didn't give the "desired result") - you promote one of the women to management (or more technically demanding) level in another team/area based on "positive discrimination", even though she hasn't shown particularly strong aptitude in that area.
She then gets shown to be incapable of delivering, do you demote her?
That's what judging by results would mean.
