## Resource

Riots, attacks, police snafus – they can't all be solely the fault of one bit of equalities guidance, can they? Well, if you've listened to Kemi Badenoch, you might be beginning to wonder. Her latest foray into the world of identity politics sees her wanting to scrap the Public Sector Equality Duty as the opening move in a mission to 'restore common sense'. Because, apparently the UK is so post-racial- tension it does not need such rules any longer. And yet, to look at what Claire Hanna MP described as "race-based pogroms" in Belfast this week, would suggest that we are not as evolved as the LoTO suggests quite yet. Naomi, Alex and Kenny have ... thoughts, shall we say. Plus, some colourful Wokey Dokey action and bonus legalese which nobody but Alex understands. ***SPONSOR US AT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*** • 'A ready-made pool of recreational rioters' ...
