Commission To Investigate Inequality

[RJRB 688]

As David Lammy has said,why it is about time that past reports were acted upon.

Johnson has a lot of ground to catch up on as far as day to day casual slurs are concerned.

It'll go the way of the Islamophobia inquiry... quietly dropped.

Has the fear of wasting money ever prevented British governments from doing what they choose ?

I'm slightly confused as to what exactly they are looking into. We already have an Equalities Commission ever since the introduction of the Act.  We already have multiple non-government organisations, charities, subdivisions and quangos.  What the hell have they been doing all this time? 

 

Besides it's not like I have seen anyone in the government disagreeing with the subject of the protests just the methods. 

 

If the argument instead is that voices are not being heard loud enough then surely some blame needs to be pointed at those organisations listed above and questions should be raised as to what they are doing for their money.

 

All seems to me like Lammy wanting to get his profile out there again.  Must be at least 5 minutes since he was last Twitter trending.

Why blame Lammy for the Government’s refusal to act?

Because while we're all in this together (some of us more so than others) we're not allowed to criticise this government for anything.  I'm surprised you didn't you know that.

Producing reports that governments ignore. It's standard government procedure when faced with a difficult social problem to announce and inquiry to shut people up for several months and quietly drop the issue once it's no longer got the public's attention.

They can't force governments to implement their recommendations.

Tory bigwigs virtually all Public School educated. Eton educated types wanting an enquiry into inequality. You couldn't make it up. Presumably Johnson and his ilk must think they are where they are through sheer brilliance.

Johnson certainly is.

 

Being a bang average Classics student, and writing second rate books are both vital qualities for a PM.

 

That’s why he’s doing such a brilliant job.

It's like everything Johnson does (at Cummings bidding) - kick the can down the road into the longest grass you can find - promise something "world class" in the future - on no account accept responsibility for anything.

 

And don't forget the photo opportunity - preferably with a hard had and a couple of union jacks.

Dismay as No 10 adviser is chosen to set up UK race inequality commission

The new government commission on racial inequalities is being set up by a No 10 adviser who has cast doubt on the existence of institutional racism and condemned previous inquiries for fostering a “culture of grievance”, it has emerged.

Looks like the report's conclusion is going to be "Everything is fine, nothing to see".
