Chair of the Ethnic Minority Liberal Democrats, @Liberal_Ruwan is resigning from the @LibDems as a result of its lacklustre approach to combatting the Racism that exists within. Ruwan states “Racism along with other Equality matters is being dealt with in a tokenistic manner”.

@standardnews Homophobia has no place in society and the offenders and supporters of such Hate Crimes need to be robustly dealt with by the criminal justice system.

@merleneemerson @EMLibDems @Issanghazni @meralhece Sister Merlene, I commend your offer will encourage Brother @brolezholloway to join.

Alas it is now 2017 and sadly we do not seem to have progressed much further with regard to progresssing the interests of people of colour within the Party!

We need reform and positive action to remove the ethnocentric perspective of the current @LibDems! Listen to @EMLibDems https://t.co/4M5DqHFcvg

[MigrantsRightsSctl'd @MigRightsScot]

While not perfect, Canada comes up with innovative immigration routes to handle unique needs of its provinces stretching across their continent. This recently for Atlantic seaboard areas which share much similarity with Scotland: https://t.co/Hu2fJ9jD2g @Number10gov, take note!

[MigrantsRightsSctl'd @MigRightsScot]

Another report confirms Scotland’s unique immigration needs. https://t.co/wKom4M6x5N

[Michael Teague @MikeT17]

Official statistics confirm that Asian & Black defendants in England & Wales receive significantly longer prison sentences than White defendants:

[Michael Teague @MikeT17]

@Meatheadsnowman Explanations for the stats have included the suggestion Black, Asian & minority ethnic offenders may commit different offences compared to White offenders. Official statistics could usefully include more info about offence seriousness.

@Berkeleythinks We can but hope!
