Stormzy: UK is 'definitely racist' and Johnson has made it worse.
'Stormzy has said Britain is “definitely, 100%” racist and that this has worsened under Boris Johnson
because his comments have emboldened people with racist views.
Grime artist says prime minister’s racist comments have encouraged public hate.
The grime artist, who has just released his second album, Heavy is the Head, made the comments in an
interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. When asked if Britain was still racist, the musician
said “definitely, 100%” even if it was “hidden”.
“It’s like: ‘Oh no, we’re not racist’. But there’s a lot of racism in the country,” he said. “The difficult thing with
the UK is, as you said, in Italy it’s a clear problem, whereas trying to explain that Britain is a racist country
[to a British person] is the most difficult thing ever.
They think: ‘No, it’s not. Stormzy you’re successful. Look at London, there’s loads of black people …’ It’s a
more difficult case to fight.”...'

Pregnant woman among migrants found in the Channel.
'A pregnant woman was among more than 40 migrants rescued during operations on both sides of the
Channel. One boat was intercepted off the coast of Kent, while French authorities picked up two others
that had got into trouble.
A dinghy carrying 11 people, who were all said to be Iranian, was met by a Border Force cutter.
The expectant mother was among 20 people rescued from a boat that was taking on water near Dunkirk.
Eleven others, including two young children, were picked up off the coast of Calais after their engine failed.
All 31 rescued by the French were taken to Calais, where they were met by medics and border police.
The 11 people brought to the UK will now be interviewed by immigration officials, the Home Office said.
On Boxing Day, 49 people crossed the Channel in small boats, with 14 others returned to France.
The Home Office was accused of "criminalising refugees" after saying it would seek to return anyone who arrived
in the UK illegally back to mainland Europe. More than 1,800 have reached British shores after attempting to cross
the Channel in small boats this year, according to BBC research.
In the same time, more than 120 people who arrived in small boats have been sent back to European countries,
the Home Office said. The Home Office said it would "always ensure we have the right resources in place to keep
our border secure," adding: "Individuals who reach the UK illegally should be in no doubt about our determination
to return them to Europe."...'
