#blacklivesmatter racism is a human problem

Windrush news--all 30 recommendations of the Williams review to be 'acted on'--still glacial progress on processing cases by the sound of it. Also this strange statement from Patel:

Patel said: “I agree: the payments and the way in which payments have been made have been far too slow. I’m not apologising for that at all.

Did she mean 'excusing'?

It's all the more strange in view of Recommendation 1:

Recommendation 1 – Ministers on behalf of the department should admit that serious harm was inflicted on people who are British and provide an unqualified apology to those affected and to the wider black African-Caribbean community as soon as possible. The sincerity of this apology will be determined by how far the Home Office demonstrates a commitment to learn from its mistakes by making fundamental changes to its culture and way of working, that are both systemic and sustainable.

Anyway, in substance it seems positive, but of course you always have to be a little cautious when it comes to commitments like that, as in practice it may not turn out to be done properly.
