Rather than implement recommendation from previous inequality reviews, Boris is having a new review and has put in charge someone how doesnt believe institutional racism exists.

What a c**t

People now kicking off about Coco Pops. It is going to end up a competition where people can brag on Facebook about what they got changed because of their outrage. The whole point of it is going to end up lost because of people trying to get likes on social media and thinking up shite like that.

Meanwhile, massive queues outside Nike and Primark. Need some new gear to tear down the slavery statues.

Humans are just nuts.

Primark officially came out and said there will be no sale on and it will just be normal everyday Primark prices.

The place was open FROM the 15th, not only ON the 15th

My daughter insisted on going to town yesterday. I said "Why? You can go any time you want now. They are back open. Why today?"

Anyway, we went down at 2.30 and there was zero queue at all. I know in Brum at 7am there were hundreds queuing up for Primark.

Symbolic change is much easier to achieve and is also easier to concede on the part of those who hold power.

It’s getting like the scenes from Life of Brian where all they ever do is talk about it. I think Lammy has been pointing out for a few days now that there’s been 4 or 5 reviews on race over the last 4-5 years with dozens of recommendations from each and the Tories haven’t implemented any of the recommendations from any of them. We don’t need yet another enquiry, we need to start implementing the recommendations from the enquires that the Tories have already systematically ignored.

What is supposed to be the issue with Coco Pops? It uses a cartoon monkey who's just meant to be a monkey surely.

Because Rice Crispies uses white people.

It just makes a mockery of the actual points when people come out with shite like that.

But surely most children prefer Coco Pops because of the chocolate.

So, if they are associating it somehow with black people, aren't they trying to just put people off black people?

All I know is they taste crap because it’s not proper chocolate.

What that adds to the issue I don’t know.

Because brown people are tastier? Chocolates racist? I’m lost.

This shit needs to stop. There’s no mass campaigns for any of this crap. Just one or two weirdos going mental.

Oh her. Why am I not surprised. You’d think if you were the first MP to be recalled you’d have the humility to keep your silly opinions to yourself.

Sadly it includes the media and "influencers".

Again, the good people like the ex soldier who was interviewed who have a very good point get ignored.

I could be way off about Coco Pops but I've never before now seen a suggestion that the cartoon monkey is anything race related, it's just a cartoon monkey with no suggestion of anything else. You can get white chocolate Coco Pops (but please, don't) with the same character and the US version uses the white Snap, Crackle and Pop characters and that's a country where race-baiting is a national pastime.

Golliwogs on marmalade I get, this I don't.
