Maybe though with stop and search there’s an assumption someone is likely to commit a crime based on not very much. No one is visibly likely to steal a car based on appearance.
If a bloke is dressed in a puffa jacket, woolly hat and a face covering in the summer and hanging around an expensive motor I reckon his appearance would give me suspicion that he’s up to no good
I’ll give that advice to the local scrotes in Staines who run round in balaclavas and hoodies on their motor scooters.
Racism Commissioner: “Britain must stop being driven by white guilt” PUBLISHED YESTERDAY 11:39 - BY EDITORIAL STAFF Photo: Roo Pitt/Alisdare Hickson/CC BY 2.0 please log in to view this image Dr. Tony Sewell is critical of the current discourse. Two years ago, Dr. Tony Sewell authored a report showing that Britain’s immigration problems and ethnic disparities are not due to racism and ethnic discrimination. Now he argues that the country needs to stop being governed by ideas of white guilt and should instead rely on available evidence. Sewell, who is himself of African descent, caused widespread anger on the political left after he authored a report, as head of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, which concluded that many social and economic problems cannot be blamed on racism and discrimination against ethnic minorities. The report was attacked by left-wing activists and ethnic lobby groups as being ‘patronizing’ and ‘historically inaccurate’ to claim that many of Britain’s individual problems can be linked to class, socio-economic, cultural and non-white racism. The report also found that the UK is not a structurally racist country and the author now argues that the country must stop being driven by white self-hatred and guilt. – I can see it in institutions – overreach, completely irrational responses, not considering the context and the complexities of issues. The critical problem is, are we going to be driven by facts and data or are we going to be driven by sentiment, guilt and lobby groups? – It’s not to say that racism isn’t there, but most of those social justice issues around disparities are complex for multiple reasons. You’ve got to have the courage to unravel them and find out what the multiple causes behind it are, he continues. please log in to view this image The report, published in 2021, found that negative differences between whites and non-whites decreased significantly when people with a migrant background were educated or working. Sewell argues that while racism certainly exists, it is essential to focus on class, geography and family structures to improve the lives of non-whites in the country and that the constant focus on racism as an explanatory model means that other explanatory models are ignored. – It’s not unconscious bias training for teachers. It’s how do you support some of those families that are finding it difficult with their children, particularly boys, to engage in the schooling system?
UK net debt passes 100% of GDP for first time since 1961 Reuters June 21, 20236:26 PM GMT+12Updated 14 hours ago please log in to view this image A man crosses Westminster Bridge as the Houses of Parliament are partially illuminated in purple to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day, London, Britain, January 27, 2022. REUTERS/Toby Melville/FILE PHOTO LONDON, June 21 (Reuters) - Britain's public sector net debt surpassed 100% of gross domestic product in May as borrowing came in higher than expected, the Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday. Public sector net debt, excluding that of state-controlled banks, hit 2.567 trillion pounds ($3.28 trillion), equivalent to 100.1% of gross domestic product. That represented the first time that debt stood above 100% of GDP since 1961 although it was temporarily recorded as passing that threshold during the COVID-19 pandemic before being revised lower. The ONS said government borrowing in May stood at 20.045 billion pounds. A Reuters poll of economists had pointed to public sector net borrowing, excluding state-owned banks, of 19.5 billion pounds.

We haven't grown GDP per head in 20 years so get ready for reality. It's going to be minging. please log in to view this image 9
You will die early if you don't stop smoking 50 a day in the next five years. That doesn't mean you have to die in the next five years for that sentence to be true.
