13:52Now PlayingJames O’Brien challenges what he sees as Britain’s growing complacency toward racism, arguing that denial of systemic discrimination in institutions like the police and NHS is a symptom of white privilege.
It comes after Wes Streeting warned that NHS staff are experiencing a return to the ugly racism of the 70s and 80. The Health Secretary said incidents of verbal and physical abuse based on people’s skin colour is now such a common occurrence that it has almost become “socially acceptable to be racist”.
He said has been “really shocked” to hear how NHS staff, particularly those working in A&E, have faced increased levels of harassment, aggression and violence amid delays in patients being seen.
