That you are proud and happy (and white) does not provide any offering that there isn’t extensive racism in the country. In point of fact, in your own words, you accuse the political class (Tories) of stoking precisely that problem with their rhetoric.. Therefore, it does exist and you accept that it exists because the political class, the Tories, are speaking and acting in racist ways. The Brexit vote was quite clearly primarily driven by anti-immigration, anti-free movement sentiments directed at Poles and other Eastern Europeans. Many thought, erroneously, they were also voting to making it harder for Middle Eastern and sub-continent immigration, which was not part of Brexit. Now, the focus is specifically and vehemently on dark skinned people from Africa. I wish you were right and I wish you a happy life in the UK. Cheers.

The worst presentations are by people who frankly aren’t very good at their job. They don’t provide anything concrete in the presentation itself, usually waffling to fill space which should be filled with hard information. Then when questioned they immediately are defensive, evasive and take off on irrelevant tangents without answering questions. The former know their sh1t and the latter know they’re sh1t.

Here's a wild idea - build housing. I realise that the Tories can't be arsed to build housing for anyone else either...

[@Alex-cw3rz]

If the government built the 340,000 property shortfall we have each year. This would gain gain over £14 billion in profit at least and the rest can go on building 340,000 houses the year after, and so on, taking the profits, reinvesting the rest. They could put them on brownfield sites, which would reguivinate the intercity and the high street. So win win. The issue is developers won't make lots of money (even though they don't build the housing in the first place) so under neo-liberalism you can't do something that is logical.

[@steveparker8065]

100% agreed, Last time I checked I think it was about 28% of Tory MPs were landlords or had property that they rent out. Squeezing the housing market increases prices and keeps us off the property ladder.

[@kanedNunable]

they will do it if they can make some cash from it. i.e. on a mate's land or a donor's building company

In the last 200 years Tories have been in power almost 90% of the time, yet the race discrimination act, the equal opportunities act, the nhs, the welfare system, final salary pensions for public sector workers, state pension at 60 and 65 etc, all happened when they were out of power. What have they ever actually done for the working and middle-class?

[@re1644]

The only investment of Tories into any ministry or problem is a small handed out dictionary called: "How to say nothing with fancy words that make you look smart without the need to actually be so?" It is mandatory for every Tory member to know it by heart and to come up with a quote in any instant. Like the knee-jerk reflex. The other book that would be handed out is: "How to steal from the poor and make them say thank you?" but why should a Tory member need a second copy.

[@moohHa22]

We can’t trust one person in the UK government to do their jobs, without corruption, blame shifting, or shirking responsibility. I’d be amazed if I saw a uk political member simply and directly answer a question.

Local authority housing cannot be used to house asylum seekers. This is for people within the authority many of whom have been on waiting lists for years. Even I know that Serco has the contract for housing asylum seekers when hotels are not (or before they were used), they do so by leasing private rental accomodation paid for out of Home Office funds managed by Serco. Some people may remember this as Serco painted the front doors of all these properties red. It made quite a splash in the national press.

[@lauralee9482]

What she has shown is exactly as I thought. The home office does not follow a set guide of criteria that everyone should follow, it seems they are hoping the staff will use their common sense. Clearly all of them have none.
