'There is "much more that we need to do" to tackle racism,boris johnson has said' according to the BBC website, reporting his article in the daily barclaygraph.
How about (metaphorically) throwing a Prime Minister who has written of piccaninnies and 'watermelon smiles' into Bristol Dock? |  |

Johnson is going to create a commission to look at racial equality.
It seems so much has changed since the last report on racial equality that we have to ignore that report and produce a new one.
I don't think much has changed at all. The same barriers are still there for BAME people.
What won't have changed will be the rhetoric, the 'promise' that the review will be implemented. The last report produced no new laws of any merit that could be said to promote racial equality. The report did not recommend a hostile environment should be introduced but that is what happened.
Johnson is kicking the problem into the long grass. If the head of the commission is white then it will serve the one purpose it is intended for - to move the conversation to a later date or the Tory preference of not having the conversation at all. |  |

How have you gone from suggesting that a white person isn't capable of leading such an investigation, presumably because you believe that no white person can be impartial and are all racist to some degree, to asking me to defend one historic investigation? Spectacular straw manning. | | | |

The government already have enough laws to use to help the BAME communities. They just need to implement them in a compassionate manner.
By creating a commission they will wait until it is finished - 12 months, 18 months, when? In the meantime they will do nothing just like they did nothing until the Grenfell report was completed and then surprise, surprise not much since. 3 years and still people are in temporary accomodation and there are some 3,000+ households in tower blocks with dodgy cladding.
Having a BAME judge, there are many to choose from, would give people some confidence that the government was taking it seriously. | |

It would be good if action taken could deal with the real issue of improving the circumstances of minorities, rather than obsessing over statues, blue plaques and street names. |  |

How it will work.
Commission sits, produces report. The report says money has to be spent. tories say 'we can't afford to make our well-off supporters pay more tax'.

1. Lip service
2. Talk about the lip service
3. Set up an enquiry into future lip service
4. Confirm that the enquiry shows that there is "much more that we need to do"
5. Hope people stop talking about it
6. Repeat
There is no indication that Boris or anyone else in the Conservative party wants to address racism or the structural inequalities that feed into it. They'll get more politically and personally by encouraging division, ethnic nationalism and identity politics. |  |

Not just report in singular is it? there are a whole bunch of reports released after reviews into institutional racism in the UK. Lammy was pointing them all out this morning and highlighting that none of the recommendations (there are well over 150-200ish) have been implemented.
Kicking it into the long grass indeed. Have another inquiry, drag it out and then it's either someone else's problem or if they complete it within this parliament they can just shelve it with the Russian report. |  |

I'm wary of the fact that he's had to deliver the best news of lockdown with his stimulus package, it somewhat elevates him from the rest of the crowd just by nature of everything else being so f*cking hopeless, confusing or negative. |  | | |

I was going to mention the Lammy report, which was the latest offering, but as he's a Labour politician I thought I'd be opening myself up to the 'not impartial' tag and introducing whataboutery.
Most of the recommendations in Lammys report are just a repitition of what's been said in previous reports which illustrates that little is achieved by these inquiries apart from kicking the can down the road. | |

You should have mentioned it. What he was talkng about yesterday was very much cross-party, yet nothing has apparently come from the 201 recommendations out of these 4 recent, separate reviews into institutional racism in the UK:
- His own review - Labour, obviously
- Angelini review - apolitical lawyer
Home Office review - Independent review by Wendy Williams on behalf of the then Home Sec, Javid
Baroness McGregor-Smith review - Tory life peer

I don't think Chutney wanted a debate as his opening salvo was "B0llocks" and his second was accusing me of strawmanning which didn't contribute either.
In a strange way, Chutney did contribute by illustrating the sort of conversation BAME people get when they raise the subject of racism. | |
