Boris Johnson’s former race adviser has warned of another Stephen Lawrence or Jo Cox tragedy if members of the government continue to inflame the culture wars gripping parts of the nation.

Reminds me of a certain TV opinion channel masquerading as news.

Speaking publicly for the first time since he resigned two months ago, Samuel Kasumu said he feared there were some in government pursuing a strategy of exploiting division for electoral gain that could result in severe consequences for the country.

It's Steve Bannon's strategy.
“There are some people in the government who feel like the right way to win is to pick a fight on the culture war & to exploit division. I worry about that. It seems like people have very short memories, & they’ve already forgotten #JoCox.”

The #GeorgeFloydMurder is the latest in a long history of #racist atrocities visited on Black people & minorities in the US & elsewhere.

If u are in some position of authority, power, privilege & have a public platform you need to speak up and be counted. A v personal #thread
I am brown of Indian origin, but when asked, I always say I don't really know what #racism looks like, I have almost never experienced it, and I am in a position of power and privilege so I don't think its appropriate for me to speak about it. But today, I write about it here ...
I grew up in India, when to the @LSEnews & took a investment banking job at #Lehman. When I flew back to #India, I went to the UK embassy in Delhi to get my work visa. That was my first #racist encounter. He barked at me, said he could turn me down coz "too many of us in the UK"

Today we remember our colleague Jo Cox MP, who was tragically killed on her way to a constituency meeting on 16 June 2016.

"While we celebrate our diversity, what surprises me time and time again as I travel around the constituency is that we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us" - Jo Cox

Following yet another synagogue shooting I have seen those on the left say that again this is evidence that Jews face more of a risk from the right than the left. On the face of it this seems accurate until you bother to look deeper at the real threat the left pose.
If you look at terrorism in the uk over the last 50 years very little has been carried out by right wing extremists, with notable exceptions such as #jocox. We had a wave of murders by Irish republicans mainly left wing groups often targeting based on religion
In the last 20 years the majority of attacks in the uk have been by Islamic terrorists, again often targeting based on the religion or perceived religion of the victims. But of the classic far right terrorist there has been very little.
