This is very good by @mrianleslie. In particular, the paragraph that teases out the generational differences between the report’s authors and today’s activists ianleslie.substack.com/p/elite-wars
I’ll add that the report’s recommendations will be fairly popular with ethnic minorities themselves and if the govt implements some of them seriously, they will make a dent in some of the actual problems that prompted the commission in the first place
No one commission can solve all the problems that need solving. And yes, not all problems can be solved by the govt. But a simple test is to ask anyone who is very much opposed to the report to state which of the recommendations they don’t like and what they’d replace it with
And a final point - if a report says Britain is head to toe institutionally racist, what is the policy recommendation that comes out of that that is radically different from what is in the report? Maybe there are but I’d like to hear them
