It is with particular sadness I recently heard that James McGrath (Chief of staff to our previous Chairman) has been pushed out of his job with Boris Johnson. Accusations of racism have been levelled against him as a few words have been taken out of context and jumped upon by the PC brigade. I’ve met James on numerous occasions and found him to be a warm, witty and charming individual. As someone who prides himself as being fairly astute at spotting such things, I am wholly convinced that he does not possess a racist bone in his body.
Rather he appears to be the victim of the McCarthyistic mouth foaming utterances of the race relations industry, which through accusation alone can slay political careers and stifle well intentioned and principled debate. I say this because I have seen with my very own eyes the modus operandi of this circus, employing individuals to perpetuate this climate of political correctness. In reality this industry/business does dreadful damage to Britain’s race relations. It seems more concerned with securing it’s own funding streams and non jobs for it’s membership of zealots. The cost of this is all is so much more than financial, as we lose decent people and gag those who point to the emperor’s new clothes.

It’s nice to hear a voice of reason out there. Having known James for almost 20 years I can concurr with you; the man does not have a racist bone in his body. James is a very passionate man and wears his heart on his sleeve. One silly comment shouldn’t consign him to the dustbin.
