It's the gaslighting for me:

Boris Johnson says the problem in Africa is that we're not in charge anymore...
Priti Patel says taking a knee is wrong...
They produce a Race Report that talks about the benefits of slavery...

Then act like they're fighting racism along with us.

Don't believe me?

Here's Boris Johnson writing for the spectator...

Here's Priti Patel saying that every way that black people have chosen to protest against inequality, including silently taking a knee, is wrong.

This is the government's Race Report from March...

Have a look at that last line.

Boris Johnson promised the Black Lives Matter protesters last year that he would address systemic racism.

8 months later he gives them a report that treats the slave trade like an erasmus year.

Boris Johnson refused to criticise the booing. Priti patel accused those who take a knee of "gesture politics".

Neither of our two most powerful political leaders lifted a finger to combat racism in football and their silence was a green light to racists everywhere!

And then when the racism inevitably explodes, they act like they were the ones leading the fight against racism.

And our newspapers help them sell the lie.
