Rise in racism
Racism had become more acceptable during 10 years of Thatcherism, according to an author, Paul Gordon, writing for a race relations charity, the Runnymede Trust. “The experience of black people in Britain since 1979 has been that of an unprecedented loss of status and of rights — to family unity, to asylum from persecution, to work, to social welfare provision, to an adequate education, to freedom from violence. All have been the result either of government policy or government inaction.”—London.
