So that’s one bit of bad press a week, escalating in badness, each week for the last three right?

That’s about it, yes…

Have we not been here before? Lets recap Jasper Kens former aide who faced a slew of allegations from the Evening Slandard and you Sunny has not been charged with any crime, Johnson forensic inquiry panel interim report says there is no case for the man to answer – so he is now proven to be completely innocent of the charges made against him.

Now we say the same saga unfolding against Ray Lewis. The MPS is in dispute with about every senior Asian Officer of note and Boris sacks his Cheif of staff Mcgrath for making stupid comments and guts the Rise festival from its ant racist theme. Afro Caribbean and Asian people in London should be very afraid…..


Reactions: Twitter, blogs
