Division and ragebait - Is a new police policy of identifying ethnicity a ticking timebomb?
Today's Ink is free for all subscribers. Jamie Hill writes about a new Wiltshire Police policy that reveals nationality and ethnicity in serious cases and posits that it is doing more harm than good as it sows division and prejudice in what is already a febrile situation. He also asks other media organisations to act responsibly and not to heighten tensions further just in the name of clicks. In our second piece, Barrie Hudson accompanies a group of Lydiard Park Academy Sixth Formers as they tour Lydiard House which could soon see parts of it becoming their new base of operations after a £700,00 refit. To upgrade only costs £5.99 a month - less than a 500ml bottle of Diet Coke a week - and you'll be supporting independent quality journalism in Swindon. For that you will receive three extra Ink briefings a week on top of the Friday free edition. Subscribe now within the post and get your first month free.
