No10 crackdown on racism as minister warns officials n-word slurs won’t be tolerated

Between this and the announcement that police will be instructed to investigate crimes, I'm wondering what will be announced tomorrow.
"Tory party announces that they've instructed their officials not to stamp on babies"
"Conservatives release new pledge not to tolerate strangling kittens"
"Braverman opinion piece states the Conservative Party's position on murder is that it's really bad, and you shouldn't do it, OK?"
- "New government campaign will remind people to breath."
If I say anything approaching a racial slur at work I'll get canned immediately. How bad is this problem that in the year 2023 they've only just got around to saying it's not tolerated?
Good to see the bar is so high
It's taken this long?

  Hollow words as usual from the government :/
  racism #uk #government #sunak
I don't doubt some of the "Blackletter font" and "red top" newspapers are reporting it as something more along the lines of "Looney Liberal Lefty Whitehall Word Witch-hunt", "It's political correctness, gone mad", or "woke propaganda militia bans British words from documents".
Anderson must be really confused over this one.
