Experts named in government’s ‘flawed’ race report being ‘shocked’ to see their names in evidence contributor list. We hear more and more of those who are shocked to find the outcome appears to have been written before what was an obviously a flawed collection of evidence took place.
... Baroness Lawrence, the mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence, of “giving the green light to racists” and Boris Johnson’s most senior black adviser quit after questioning government’s approach on race.
Two experts named as “stakeholders” in a landmark report into race disparities in Britain have hit out at claims they provided evidence, with one protesting: “I was never consulted.”
The report is being described by the minority communities as 'gaslighting' people of colour into thinking our lived experience of racism is not valid.
The head of the government-appointed race commission, Dr Tony Sewell, has previously suggested that the evidence for “institutional racism” is “somewhat flimsy” and a growing number of authors and academics have challenged their “participation” in the heavily criticised Government-backed review on racial disparity.
This appears to be yet another occasion where government "Newspeak" takes the place of the true findings.
