Suella Braverman a disgrace to humanity

Because when white people start talking about ethnicity and heritage other people around the world start getting unalived. We need to look past what we may have been before, it is irrelevant now. England is and always will be a postracial country, so get used to it and start celebrating diversity for all the wonderful things that it brings to each of our lives. We are so lucky, our 'ancestors' never got to enjoy those privileges.

It seems hyperbolic to call SB hateful.

There is genuine confusion over civic Englishness and English as a genetically identifiable ethnic group.

I am an immigrant to the UK myself. I feel like both Suella and Kemi are right. It depends upon the context.

Trying to hype it up is just wedge politics, stoking short term political advantage for long term disunity and disgruntlement.

Are you suggesting we should get rid of all the questions about race and ethnicity that are collected?

I prefer not to listen, just turn it off....they will soon learn to stop the rage. People need to turn it off and stop getting angry.

The yanks are going back to public executions to fuel the rage.... don't watch it.... simple.

Well all these statistics seem to be used for is to argue all the so called crimes people of certain cultural backgrounds are more likely to commit, so I would say the data is not exactly contributing to a healthy cohesive society.

Anything that causes division should be banned and our history should be fortified to be more inclusive of communities that we have welcomed into our society. Being 'Anglo-Saxon' or whatever isn't relevant to our national story.

See my comment above. There is no English ethnicity, its not about denying us what we are, its about making all people here feel welcome without a genetix hierarchy of who is more English than who. If you care about diversity you would drop the issue, I mean what does it matter to YOU personally what YOUR ancestors were? You have never been oppressed for the colour of your skin or for who you are, your lineage is irrelevant to your life story.

I haven’t watched QT for years for good reason. It seems many others are the same. And the BBC generally. Perhaps they’ll learn why they’re losing viewers.

I don't see the BBC as rage bait, it's Question time where people get to ask questions....if someone spouts rage then at least you know where they stand.

Trump makes me angry but I think that's what he wants....so I turn him off. If the BBC makes you angry then turn it off better for your blood pressure.

Hard disagree there. If you start curbing people's freedoms to identify who they are, you're on a hiding to nowhere and playing into the hands of the far right. And it isn't just white people who use ethnicity to sow division - just look at the success of Narendra Modi in India. People are innately inclined to think in terms of 'them and us'. What matters is whether we allow that to affect how we run things, and the point is that we should not. Identify as you wish, but leave that out of politics because that's when you get deaths, deportations, remigration and all the other far right nonsense.

I hate the term 'unalived'. Pathetic Facebook euphemism.

I saw the clip of SB on Question Time. I don’t think she was spouting hate or rage. Quite the opposite. She was showing appreciation towards the English and solidarity with them, while recognising that she has her own unique heritage and place within England tied to be a second generation immigrant who is part of the Indian diaspora.

It feels like people want to misrepresent her for their own political purposes.

Statistics are also used to argue all the so called crimes that men are more likely to commit. Even mainstream parties are happy to scapegoat men with rhetoric like 'male' violence against women. It's not exactly contributing to a healthy cohesive society.

Should those stats be banned?

I think statistics should be used with many caveats, and I think the teaching of statistics in schools needs to be radically improved.

Which crimes committed by men do you think the statistics are wrong about?
