AS the media turn their attention to Westminster and follow every step and misstep by the political parties, one issue is already looming across parties and the coverage — institutional racism.

We have been forced by media outlets to watch Nigel Farage, an unelected “party leader,” target British Muslims as he tries to justify his abhorrent views.

The Conservatives are accused of having “a race problem” as they were slated for accepting campaign donations from a rich donor who was on record making vile, racist comments. This was followed closely by the Labour Party facing a backlash as it ditched several black and minority ethnic candidates. The issue of race discrimination is never far away.
