They then, within about twenty minutes, arrested Vikram Digwa, who has at relatively high pace, gone through the criminal justice system and been quite rightly convicted of his crime.

He's been around a long time on the political scene, but he has typically taken a sort of colourblind attitude where he claims to represent all
Groups equally, he's tended in the past to draw his support mostly from white voters, though that's changing.

The Labour government, backed by the Conservative Party, has promised to look at the specific issues thrown up by this case.
And that includes reviewing some controversial guidance for police across the UK published last year, which set out the argument that treating people fairly doesn't mean treating white people and ethnic
