I'm doing research for an article on the harms caused by anti-racism. An obvious recent one is the murders by Valdo Calocane in 2023, where the 'overrepresentation of young black males in detention' was deemed relevant in the decision to discharge him. If you read the 2018 Independent Review of the Mental Health Act, in the section "Steps to tackle the disproportionate number of people from ethnic minority communities detained under the act", you find that they recommend "Raising the bar for individuals to be detained under the Mental Health Act, as well as any subsequent use of Community Treatment Orders." So not because of any medical or risk assessment, but simply because not all ethnic groups are equally represented in mental health detentions, the bar for detaining someone is raised. A very important thing for the next government to do is to pass legislation making it very clear that this kind of 'disproportionate impact' can never be a reason to change a policy. There's many, many areas where this is relevant, and where a new principle to govern policy is sorely needed.

Bardella knows very well what is going on. Trump is totally toxic in Europe. MAGA doesn't vote in France, French people do. What is even your theory of this situation?
