The politics of London's place in the UK is demonstration of how the right captures an issue & then retunes it to race.
Many of us who live outside London complain about how it capture resources, controls the UK to its own ends & promotes (entrenches) regional inequalities & powerlessness.
But, the Right has taken that negativity & made it about the racial make-up of London communities, misapplying a complaint about political economy into an attack on multiculturalism.
