Thanks, DMcG. I look forward to your analysis. Interesting quote from Caroline Waters, Interim Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission Politicians on all sides have a responsibility to set standards for our public life and to lead the way in challenging racism in all its forms. There have been recent examples of behaviour from politicians of various parties that fall well below the standards we would expect. While freedom of expression is essential to proper political debate, politicians must recognise the power of their language to sow division. Our recommendations provide a foundation for leaders to make sure that they adhere to equality law and demonstrate their commitment to diversity and inclusion through their words and actions Can we look forward to an enquiry into the "behaviour from politicians of various parties"? I doubt it somehow.
