Rejected petition Enforce police investigations, ANY UK politician insighting racism terminologies
A call to all UK politicians to avoid racism terminologies like "Racist or Racism" when discussing political matters across our UK streets, or in the house of commons itself.
More details
Far to often we hear the political class from MP's to Councillors express racism or racist terminologies, to scare British tax payers to tactical voting. Britain is a multicultural country working together. Police should investigate these phrases used by politicians who hold professional status.
Bernard Jenkin (MP) made reference to Nigel Farage in the house of commons, being an advocate of racism. In particular Nigel Farage was labelled as not representing the British people in the referendum. These hate speeches in reference to "racist or racism resemblances" should be banned by police approval towards professional figure heads.
