Title Much as we love the NHS, we can no longer ignore the ethnic inequalities that beset it Media name/outlet The Observer Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 20/02/22 Description The pandemic has acted like a vast searchlight, sweeping across society, illuminating unpleasant truths that were lurking in the darkness. The potential for online misinformation to unleash a wave of cultish fanaticism, like the current anti-vax movement, long predated the pandemic. The glib libertarian tendency within sections of the Conservative party, a sentiment so often out of step with the public mood in its strident opposition to measures deployed to fight the virus, was similarly hidden in plain sight.
However, the truth most bluntly uncovered by the pandemic is the scale and the depth of inequality in 21st-century Britain. Ours is among the most unequal societies in Europe and among the many axes along which inequality runs is that of race.URL https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/20/much-as-we-love-nhs-no-longer-ignore-racial-inequalities-that-beset-it Persons David Olusoga
