Contribution

The Home Secretary talks about stopping those dangerous crossings, but there have been record numbers on her watch as Home Secretary. Is the Home Secretary aware of the so-called “Police Anti-Racism Commitment”, which is itself flagrantly racist? It says that the racial equity commitment means “not…treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’”. It says that the police should treat people differently in order to artificially engineer equality of policing outcomes. Does she agree that that is itself flagrantly racist? The police should treat everyone the same. Will she call on the National Police Chiefs’ Council to cancel the commitment? If it will not, will she legislate to give herself the powers?
