Racism debate is demonising
In his response to my comments, Ralph Tebbutt ignores the main argument for constitutional monarchy, which is that the division of symbolic from executive power is a bulwark against an elected dictatorship. It is anyway absurd to believe that to replace the Queen with President Blair, or Boris, would of itself improve the lot of the economically disadvantaged. The continuity and stability afforded by our system must not be tossed lightly aside.
Although republicans have been around for many years they have now become, whether deliberately or not, part of the radical left movement which seeks to undermine our society from within. The manner in which gender, and sexual orientation, have become battlegrounds is due to the desire of these same people to involve as many minorities as possible in a coalition which hates everything this country stands for, and seeks to subject the majority to their rule by corrupting our language, and by suppressing free speech. Their virtue signalling is sickening, as they are anything but virtuous.
The reaction to the recent report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities proves that those who have dominated debate on race are not driven by morality but by left wing ideology. Although there are those who hate others merely because of the category into which they fall, the majority of Britons are mostly easy going, and consider fairness to be a virtue. If, however, perfectly innocent people find themselves constantly demonised merely on the basis of their being white, they will react with anger.
The result will not be better race relations, but a polarisation in society. Of course this is precisely what the Marxists want, as they continue to believe that causing social upheaval will give them the opportunity to gain power, before instituting their socialist nirvana. It seems to pass them by that this never works. Colin Bullen
