I don’t disagree with Government reports written by the Civil Service with links to data included.
-
I notice the members who spend so much time ranting about immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers have been very quiet on Ukrainian refugees and have had virtually nothing to say about Russians fleeing overseas. So I’m not convinced by your argument. -
What the police choose to investigate and what the law defines as a hate crime (of which racism is an example) are not necessarily the same thing. People report what they perceive to be a crime, the police investigate. Convictions in court are based on what the law says. The definitions under the law are very clear.

No, not only if I want it to be anything. It’s what the law says that counts: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/30/section/1/enacted

Still a slave.
-
Not so, hate crimes, like racism have a very clear legal definition. You’ll find it under ‘Definitions’ in the respective laws.

There are times witticisms are entirely appropriate and there are times when they are not. Read the report of how that guy was treated for 40 years and then have a word with yourself.

Padlocking somebody in a shed with no access to bathing and toilet facilities and forcing them to work for you meets the criteria. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/30/contents/enacted

Here’s an example: https://news.sky.com/story/man-kept-as-a-slave-for-40-years-now-enjoys-watching-football-and-old-world-cups-says-charity-12532461

The UK Government disagrees with you: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2021-uk-annual-report-on-modern-slavery/2021-uk-annual-report-on-modern-slavery-accessible-version

The definition of slavery is not in dispute.

I suggest you reserve your ire for those who promised you they’d fix the immigration problem and leave off venting at those who told you they were lying to you.

NHS Waiting now reaches 7 million !

I hear over 10,000 doctors, nurses and health professionals quit the NHS and went back to Europe where they came from. What brought that on I wonder?! -
NHS Waiting now reaches 7 million !

It’s not just the wait list, the NHS infrastructure is falling apart with outstanding repairs now topping £10Billion. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/oct/13/cost-eradicating-nhs-england-repairs-backlog -

No racism does not include comments against religious extremists. If however you wish to blame a whole demographic group for the religious extremism of a tiny minority then you would be starting into racism, but I think you know that. -
Because you suddenly forgot all those years you paid to read a newspaper.
-
Again, a gross generalization. Immigrants are not bleeding the UK dry. Tgey do however make a very convenient scapegoat and diversion from the UK’s myriad homegrown problems.
-
Oh, so there is no racism in the UK then?
-
Except it isn’t, which is why the courts intervene and stop the Government breaking treaty obligations.
-
Nonsense. The panel has a time table which must include the midterms. A reminder perhaps that the rightwing have very clearly stated that if they win enough seats at the midterms they will put a stop to this investigation of the attack on the Capitol and replace it with investigations into Democrats, the FBI and the DOJ. There’s your ‘political’ right under your nose.
-
Thailand ’s economy is propped up by immigrants, many undocumented, it’s borders porous to those who need cheap Labour from neighboring countries.
-
An excellent example of what passes for considered thought. You are being shafted by people in power and you waste your time with that nonsense.
-
During my summer visit to the UK this year I frequently took advantage of a pint at pubs, the weather being fabulous I enjoyed my pints outside (an English summer tradition I hear). I wonder how many people passing thought, look at that welfare scrounger?

I’m not sure you have a grasp of Britain’s history on slavery. Slavery exists in the UK today and now.
