Has Racism in Britain Changed?

from What To Do About... · host What To Do About

Is the fight against racism getting better, or has it just moved to a more pervasive, invisible front line? Welcome back to What To Do About, the podcast that trades systemic hand-wringing for grounded, frontline solutions. In this episode, hosts Peter Holbrook (CEO of Social Enterprise UK) and Lord Victor Adebowale sit down with Professor Patrick Vernon OBE to talk about what it actually takes to move from corporate performance to aggressive, enforced human rights. We dive into:The dangerous 30-year cycle of public moral outrage and institutional amnesia.How social media algorithms are designed to multiply division and concentrate old colonial thinking.The death of legal aid and why rights are meaningless without the resources to access justice.An exclusive look inside Patrick's private battle with the Bank of England over historical accountability. If you’re tired of "experts" talking about social policy without ever living it, this episode is a masterclass in authenticity. Hit follow to join us as we tackle the world's biggest challenges.Connect with Peter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterholbrook/Connect with Victor: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loadebowale/
