Let's not get carried away. I don't have the time but maybe there's something interesting in the report beyond the headlines?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There isn’t.

They should start a commission into VAR and whether it has improved the sport. I'll lead it. Got a tasty conclusion or 2 lined up.

Amusing how the Government can commission this report, and splash it all over the front pages of the Tory Press, but they cannot commission a report into why nearly 130,000 of it`s citizens died from Covid.

Talk about brainwashing the masses.

Nah, just tired of this crap. A detailed insightful report with a lot of extensive commentary gets reduced to claims of whitewashing because it doesn't press the Left's button.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah very lazy. You can see the bias here. Look at who they hired to lead it. I'd have been shocked if they didn't make these conclusions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You mean an extensive panel of insightful and educated people that don't subscribe to baseless claims about structural racism?

As for claims it told people what the government wanted to hear, I will wait for said triggered people to read the report. Supposedly ivory tower academics who think the UK is a structurally racist place would be completely impartial in their reporting
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither side is impartial. That's clear. It's not helpful to bring that kind of rhetoric to any debate.

Spouting 'woke' comments as if it means something. Grow up.

That's why it needs to be done by someone impartial, which you are suggesting it isn't, despite saying it is. There isn't just two extreme opinions either way. The internet just makes you think this and need to join one of the sides.

Does no one else work on projects where you are basically given the answer the client wants beforehand? Just have to fudge your results to get to that answer. That's what happened here. I was commissioned to do a report on the economic benefits of such and such, and had to ignore substantial evidence to the contrary to present the case and show what the client wanted to be shown.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the problem with this debate....folks like you who have probably not even read the full report and will certainly not have had sight of the brief given to whoever has written it makes statements like this, basically questioning the integrity of guy who lead the process. Based on what? your preconceptions.

How useful is this to the debate when many just discredit the report as they do not agree with it. Refusing to accept any of its many conclusions is as constructive to the process as refusing to accept many of the concerns of black people.

Personally i am offended by the view that the UK is a racist country and institutionally racist as this is not how I live my life and I align myself with like-minded people. There will be millions upon millions of other like minded people in this country who share this. Racism exists and is abhorrent, it takes many forms. But it is also not the sole cause holding back many black etc people in society

I didn't say I didn't agree with the findings. Just saying it's obvious what the conclusions would be given the client and who they commissioned. If it had been BLM commissioning some vegans then the conclusion would be that it is a racist country and there would be plenty of evidence available to demonstrate this. It would probably also be a good read if done by a vegan who gets enough protein.

Even if theyre right about the government, get in line ffs.

Imagine believing you’d be able to gaslight black and ethnic minorities with this utter bull$hit.
