Racism debate demonises innocent people

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 areas where one can see the most malign influences are the politics of identity, particularly concerning sex, and race. 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.

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.

It is deplorable the way in which vacuous celebrities seek to prove how moral and virtuous they are by competing to condemn people they don’t know as racists, just because they dare to disagree with the propaganda put out by the hard left, while the the manner in which our universities have largely been taken over by Marxist academics ensures that the only acceptable views are those which emulate Orwell’s sheep in his great parody Animal Farm, chanting ‘Woke good, non woke bad’, so students who do not subscribe to this philosophy are marginalised, and treated as guilty of racism.
