UK antiracism discourse in the United Kingdom in 2026 is just different social minorities claiming that the reason why “Social Justice Inc” hasn’t solved their problem is they are too busy with another social minority and no-one noticing that Social Justice Inc filed for bankruptcy sometime in 2011.
