A woke policy agenda now emerging? 08:19 - Feb 8 with 226 viewsAnotherJohn

Two news items today raise the question of whether the Labour Government is now unveiling more of the "progressive" policies that they have long had in mind, but were previously kept in the background.

It is reported that David Lammy will shortly meet the Reparations Commission of the Caribbean Community to discuss the reparations issue.

Then we hear that university research funding will increasingly depend on showing that institutions are pushing ahead with diversity, equality and inclusion policies. This will involve changing the rules of the next Research Excellence Framework to increase the % of funding dependent in DEI performance, and would encourage changes in patterns of staff recruitment and research topics funded.

Both will be extremely controversial and did not feature in the manifesto. On the back of the mooted Chagos deal, this may signal the direction of travel of policy. Some will say this is what happens when you have a government of human rights lawyers.

Lammy is a berk. The people who voted for him are even bigger berks. The people who agree with this, see how they feel when they have a massive tax increase to poay for it.

I can’t see the telegraph article due to the paywall but if not seen the new government suggest any financial compensation.

I wonder (using Cats sensible comparison), one of our politicians demanded a gazillion pounds from Norway after the Vikings, one of their major newspapers would run it as a serious story?

Seems a bit like the tens of millions of young people we’ll be ordered to take frOM the EU.

We need young people as we have an ageing population.

Choice is young people from EU, young peoole from India/China/other, or less public services for our old people.
I do agree it needs to be legal migration.

Reparations - who knows ?
Difficult given the elapsed time.
Reparations were put on the Germans in 1922. We all know what happened soon after …

Beware of the Risen People
