Following his annoucement that most criminals in the UK are black, I wanted to find out more about this wannabe criminologist Tory MP and found this here and I am not at all surprised. The way this MP couched his remarks, the xenophobic bigots probably felt Christmas had come early with an elected MP endorsing their prejudices
In case anyone is interested, this is the home office report that I think he was quoting/misquoting and I found the summary (page 7 to 10) interesting to read, here .
As a black person, MPs like Spinks confirm my belief that the only time we are courted by political parties is when they want our vote. The rest of the time, we are the convenient bottom of the social pile rubbish on which to blame all of society's ills, unless we win a gold medal or achieve some other similar feat and then we are acceptable.
