I believe he sincerely wants to provide equality of opportunity for young people. It is a worthy aim. Nonetheless, I do think an overarching theme of government is absent.

And honestly I don't give a fuck if it's popular or not. It's going to make a lot of kids' lives better. That's the point of government. Not an opinion poll.

Going to leave you with a Home Office chart from their most recent asylum stats so you can decide whether the UK is a magnet for asylum seekers with a uniquely generous asylum system www.gov.uk/government/s...

While they allow more representative ads, individual characters receive significantly less screen time and 87% of tokenistic portrayals occur in this style".

4/ A news release by Channel 4, ‘How representative are adverts of the British population? Channel 4’s Mirror On The Industry audit reveals all’, reads, "...those with darker skin tones are the least likely to appear".

3/ Pochin has since apologised for "...any offence caused...", stating that her comments were poorly phrased. She also says, "This is not an attack on any group but an observation about balance and fairness in how our country is portrayed on screen".

2/ Pochin, in response to a caller named Stuart expressing frustration with what he perceives as the demonisation of white men and the number of non-white people in adverts, said:
"It drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people...".
