Black Lives Matter

Again with the goal-post moving- you said

It's Women only.

You forgot to add ‘except for the men who work there’ (who I think should be allowed to be "Fellows").

Yep (in esch section). Goes to show that statistics can be manipulated as 100% of calls were recorded as being answered within 5 rings. The fact that hardly anyone could get through was neither here nor there!

The Angiolini Review of deaths in police custody found that, while the death rate of black individuals arrested was not disproportionate to white people in England, the proportion of deaths involving use of force was.
It also found that mental health and intoxication was a major factor in deaths in police custody, meaning black people with mental health issues often suffered "double discrimination".

In 2016, David Lammy was asked to lead a government-backed review into the treatment of black and minority ethnic (BAME) individuals in the criminal justice system in England and Wales.
The final report made 35 recommendations, including:

• introducing assessments of young offenders' maturity
• exploring how criminal records could be "sealed" or kept from employers, in particular for young people
• allowing some prosecutions to be deferred

Basically, try to let them get away with committing crime.

In terms of solutions, this may be of interest. It's on Channel 4, Thursdays, 9pm.

For three weeks, 24 Year 7 students, aged 11 and 12 and from diverse ethnic backgrounds were given a new timetable of classes, activities and games to explore their racial heritage and issues around ethnicity.
Inspired by similar experiments in the US, production company Proper Content joined forces with Channel 4 to prove the point that talking about race, however uncomfortable it might feel, is better than pretending it doesn’t exist – and the earlier those conversations happen, the better.

Glenthorne offered the ideal combination of diversity, an engaged student population and an enthusiastic head teacher to make the project work.[/quote]

Are you actually saying the reviews' recommendations are designed to facilitate black people to commit crime?

So which one doesn't?
"Introducing assessments of young offenders' maturity"
So that they can be mysteriously be treated as being younger and so sentences(if that's going to be allowed) will be more lenient. It certainly wouldn't have been suggested to treat them as more mature.



"Exploring how criminal records could be "sealed" or kept from employers, in particular for young people"
To avoid a more negative impact. Why the special treatment for them?



"Allowing some prosecutions to be deferred"
Why? The general assumption made seems to be that the first prosecution is the first time they've offended. How often is that? For major crimes maybe, but minor ones, a lot less likely. How many more crimes will they commit during the deferral of JUSTICE? The Legal maxin is "Justice delayed is justice denied".


The whole purpose of the report is to go easy on them.

Au contraire, Monsieur K, I was quite happy for the thread to evolve. It was taking an interesting turn. Nothing has been mentioned about BLM for many days, because as expected, Everybody has got off their knees and could no longer give a shiatsu.

Now lockdown is over no doubt London’s black youth will be shanking each other left right and centre - without a protest in sight.

Nonsense Posts Removed.

A reminder to those who seem to have forgotten how things work.
The CF staff decide when a thread is going off topic, and when/if it will be closed.

So, back to the topic at hand. Thank you.

BBC to commit £100m to increase diversity on TV:

'In October last year, TV presenter and campaigner June Sarpong was appointed as the BBC's director of creative diversity, as it pledged to ensure 50% of on-air roles will go to women by 2020, with targets of 15% for black, Asian and minority ethnic groups [BAME], 8% for disabled people and 8% for LGBT staff.

Off air, the BBC promised at the time to increase the proportion of leadership roles filled by women from 44% to 50% by next year, and raise the share of such senior roles held by BAME staff from 11.5% to 15%'.

It was said on the news that this represents about 3% of BBC spending.

The free TVL for pensioners has now been extended until October and may be being kept permanently (the new DG is consideting this).

A few quotes

Burnley have said they "strongly" condemn those responsible for flying a "White Lives Matter" banner over their Premier League match with Manchester City.

"This, in no way, represents what Burnley Football Club stands for and we will work fully with the authorities to identify those responsible and issue lifetime bans."

?

[RichardCoulter]

Well, they clearly were trying to deride and show contempt for the message that the BLM movement are trying to get across. However, the BLM protesters should have had the foresight to include the word 'too' at the end of their title to emphasise that they weren't suggesting that non black lives were any less important than those of black people.

Unbelievable, what a complete bunch of idiots.
Targets are a form of discrimination in themselves.

Not at all surprised, Burnley seem to have lost the plot completely.

At least Man City showed some sense ;

Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola added:

“Of course white lives matter but black lives matter too. Human beings matter. Everyone, we are the same.
