Excellent proposal Michael. The politicians can bicker over who did what and when, but race relations in the UK have taken a near-permanent hit that only a complete cleansing has a chance to undo.
As well as the perpetrators, I would like to see those who argued to go lightly on minority communities under the lights. I want to see them say they were wrong, that immigrant communities received favourable treatment and that they now understand everyone is equal before the law.
1. It still goes on and must be stopped. This must be a national priority.
2. All victims need to be identified, compensated and fully supported.
3. Perpetrators brought before courts - no dithering. A Southport style fast track.
4. Public officials - police, councillors and others - identified and where evidence permits charged with malfeasance in public office.
5. A task force to ensure 1 to 4 are pursued vigorously. It should be announced as an emergency.
6. Police to patrol the 48 or so towns known for predatory gangs and robustly deter repitition.
There can be no reconciliation.
