The Permanent Secretary has agreed that this was improper. There is now a Sun exclusive that every person on a flight had their expulsion overturned by the courts. Not a word on BBC news afaik
It's cunningly hidden about four stories down on the politics section and mislabled/incorrect:

"However, a spokesman for the department said it would not be removing the original post, which has been viewed more than 1.6 million times."

"End the arming of police and the use of tasers. End the Islamophobic “Prevent” programme. End deportations. End school exclusions. These are some of the leading demands from anti-racist groups across the UK. You may notice “Stop singing Rule, Britannia! at the Last Night of the Proms” isn’t among them."

This is another example of fighting the wrong fight, in my opinion.
He's picked a series of either highly unpopular or controversial statements as priorities, which most people who support BLM wouldn't.
How many people were killed by armed British police officers in the last few years? I don't think it hits double figures in a decade.

Focus on what they're doing wrong and stop giving ammunition to racists and fascists.
