The sheer number of black people who can tell you stories of times they were stopped by police for no reason other than to take them down a peg or two. Personally: at a cash point, at a bus stop, at a set of traffic lights. Let people “debate” with their own sense of denial.
If these people care so much about the “mistakes” caused by a well-meaning but misguided bureaucracy they would be throwing their energy behind Windrush compensation. They aren’t. They’re too busy gaslighting anguished black people on Twitter.
Several of the same people saying the UK is one of the least racist nations in Europe are very busy making alliances with some of the nastiest parties and budding autocracies in Europe. It’s almost as if the anti-racism efforts are taking place despite them.
By all means be furious at people’s attempt to deny the truth of your experience. Please just remember that to many of them it is sport. Just look at the joy they take in your discomfort.
I don’t think that the focus on people crossing the Channel is a distraction from alleged Government corruption. I think a lot of people elected this Government mainly so it would crack down on people crossing the Channel, and that alleged corruption is simply a service charge.
“A kakistocracy is a system of government that is run by the worst, least qualified, and/or most unscrupulous citizens.”
