Exactly. Politicians and media are afraid to say what is blindingly obvious - the UK has a serious racism problem.

Not just the UK, and not everywhere in the UK. Let’s not respond to a government policy that doesn’t differentiate by not differentiating.

That's fair, but we have a similar problem in Ireland with politicians and media feeding far right narratives whilst in total denial about having a serious racism problem. Let's be explicit about it.

Sorry but that’s meaningless and applies everywhere, pointless generalisation. The UK media and politicians have legitimised racist narratives for decades & supported extreme policies but it’s only other countries that are fascist. Time for the UK establishment to face up to its racism.

Its a xenophobic country with a lot of racism in it, but racism is easier to fit into slogans.
