  • Measuring the Exposure of Black, Asian and Other Ethnic Groups to Covid-Infected Neighbourhoods in English Towns and Cities Rich

Measuring the exposure of Black, Asian and other ethnic groups to Covid-infected neighbourhoods in English towns and cities Richard Harris*, School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol, University Road, Bristol. BS8 1SS, UK. [email protected] Chris Brunsdon, National Centre for Geocomputation, Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland. [email protected] Abstract Drawing on the work of The Doreen Lawrence Review – a report on the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities in the UK – this paper develops an index of exposure, measuring which ethnic groups have been most exposed to Covid-19 infected residential neighbourhoods during the first and second waves of the pandemic in England. The index is based on a Bayesian Poisson model with a random intercept in the linear predictor, allowing for extra-Poisson variation at neighbourhood and town/city scales. This permits within-city differences to be decoupled from broader regional trends in the disease. The research finds that members of ethnic minority groups tend to be living in areas with higher infection rates but also that the risk of exposure is distributed unevenly across these groups. Initially, in the first wave, the disease disproportionately affected Black residents.

  • Guest Speaker: Lord Victor Adebowale CBE from Stephen Lawrence to Grenfell – 20 Years for Race Equality
    Guest Speaker: Lord Victor Adebowale CBE From Stephen Lawrence to Grenfell – 20 years for Race Equality Thank you for joining us today to celebrate this milestone with us – 20 years of Race on the Agenda. So I’m going to talk for 20 minutes – 1 minute for each year – so you won’t have to listen to me witter on for too long. I promise I’ll keep to time so we can get on to the reception. Don’t want to see you all looking at your watches. Change has not been linear ROTA has spent the last 20 years fighting to bring the issues that impact BAME people into focus – working to reduce online hate speech, researching young girls and gangs and equipping third sector organisations with a comprehensive understanding of the Equality Act. The change has not been linear – we’ve faced roadblocks, successive governments and I’ve seen more ‘Race’ reviews than I’ve listened to Stevie Wonder albums. But is the arc for Race Equality bending towards justice in the overall? It’s hard to say. In 2009, 10 years on from the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, an Ipsos MORI poll for the Equality and Human Rights Commission showed us a country more at ease with itself than ever before – a nation where nearly half of its citizens were optimistic Britain would be more tolerant in 10 years’ time. Back then - 58% of ethnic minorities were optimistic about the future. Would 58% of ethnic minorities say the same today? I doubt it. Now our reality is quite different.

  • New Labour, Old Morality
    New Labour, Old Morality. In The IdeasThat Shaped Post-War Britain (1996), David Marquand suggests that a useful way of mapping the „ebbs and flows in the struggle for moral and intellectual hegemony in post-war Britain‟ is to see them as a dialectic not between Left and Right, nor between individualism and collectivism, but between hedonism and moralism which cuts across party boundaries. As Jeffrey Weeks puts it in his contribution to Blairism and the War of Persuasion (2004): „Whatever its progressive pretensions, the Labour Party has rarely been in the vanguard of sexual reform throughout its hundred-year history. Since its formation at the beginning of the twentieth century the Labour Party has always been an uneasy amalgam of the progressive intelligentsia and a largely morally conservative working class, especially as represented through the trade union movement‟ (68-9). In The Future of Socialism (1956) Anthony Crosland wrote that: 'in the blood of the socialist there should always run a trace of the anarchist and the libertarian, and not to much of the prig or the prude‟. And in 1959 Roy Jenkins, in his book The Labour Case, argued that 'there is a need for the state to do less to restrict personal freedom'. And indeed when Jenkins became Home Secretary in 1965 he put in a train a series of reforms which damned him in they eyes of Labour and Tory traditionalists as one of the chief architects of the 'permissive society': the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality, reform of the abortion and obscenity laws, the abolition of theatre censorship, making it slightly easier to get divorced.

Now PC Kelly Jones has done it again by demanding compensation from her own force over a car crash. The constable was in a police car which skidded off the road and ended on its side during a chase in January last year. Proud: WPC Jones with her father Danny Harle on her first day as a police officer PC Jones put in a compensation claim to Norfolk Constabulary, which would not discuss details. Her lawyers said she injured her knee and her employers accepted liability. Seven months after this claim she instructed the firm to sue Norfolk petrol station owner Steve Jones.
