Johnson's premature April Fool gag

The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, set up by Boris Johnson in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests, concluded that there is no institutional racism. And it isn't even April the first yet.

In clarification Commission chairman Tony Sewell denied that the report said that there was no racism but he quibbled with the term "institutional".

Yet while black people account for 3% of the population, but 8% of deaths in police custody. Is that "institutional" enough for you, Sewell?
