    I lived for over a decade in Britain as an immigrant and find it hilarious when Brits online tell me Britain has much less Racism that the rest of Europe.

    The entire “anti”-Discrimination legislation over there is about punishing the overtly voicing of discriminatory statements not about stopping discriminatory practices: managing appearences, not “doing the right thing”, mirroring the dominant social practices amongst the middle and upper class English (who control modern day British politics) of favoring heavilly managing appearences instead of behaving morally.

    My impression has always been that this approach to discrimination - basically, swipe it under the rug by cracking down of what is said rather than what is done - just make acting in racist and mysogynistic ways be more common rather than less.

      London Metropolitan Police, so the general police for most of London (not the City Of London, as that part has its own police force).

      I say “general police” because there are specialist forces with police powers and London HQs, such as the Scotland Yard and the Serious Fraud Office.
