When Johnson was the option for PM in the 2019 GE, the Tories gained fewer votes than the Green Party did (Tories 304,402 up on 2017; Greens 339,078). And in the 2017 GE it wasn’t Johnson that was voted in, he took over during the term.
I’d say a “race problem” has nothing to do with why Johnson is PM.

Just as there’s a history of white people being enslaved, as well as black people enslaving other black people. Slavery is a part of every races’ history.

Ash with her Alternative Race Report...
‘I always find it funny when people accuse me of hating Britain. I mean, there's no other country on this earth capable of producing someone as obnoxious as me.’

He wouldn't be anywhere near the job if he was pulled up for his racist news coloumns if there wasn't a race issue.

That's the line.
She's explained the issue in a simple way and happy to take the piss out of herself at the same time.

Well yeah, but those other examples of slavery are not part of our history. We should teach our history with slavery rather than Arabic slavery for the same reason that we teach about the kings and queens of England but not the emperors of China.
If nothing else, teaching about colonialism helps us recognise it when it's happening now. In popular culture, the image of the colonisation of India, for example, is still that Britain marched in there with a big army and took over, which of course isn't what happened. But that's why it's dangerous, because it means that when powerful countries sign exploitative trade deals with corrupt regimes, or fund large infrastructure projects in exchange for special access to natural resources, people don't see the parallels.

Guardian claiming that the ‘independent’ report was rewritten by Downing Street. This part from the article...
‘You can see that in the inconsistency of the ideas and data it presents and the conclusions it makes. That end product is the work of very different views.”
This was my first impression on the report when reading it (my post 31st March). I am still surprised that they allowed the report to be published when even in an initial skim read you could spot the inconsistencies.

The fact that it was so obviously done together with other factors like quoting the alleged involvement of people who were never consulted just shows what an entire shit show is stinking out number 10. The contempt they show for everyone and everything is staggering.
