NCE and the ICE should not be engaged in such extreme political ideology. We all agree that people should not be racist and that people be given equality of opportunity so far as reasonably possible. However, been “anti-racist” as defined in the article as “acting on” is a move to a dangerous mob rule based on a kind of Owellion groupthink. Claire Smiths views share a similarity of motivation with Communism and Fascism and a lack of consideration of the fundamental value of freedom – the freedom to choose and freedom of speech. The survey was not independent and is not evidence of racism. It was political. The Engineering industry should be colour blind, embracing the fact that the UK is one of the least racist countries in the World.
