British Prime Minister Boris Johnson decided to form a broad committee aimed at examining the depth of racism in British society.
The committee will look at the education sectors and the security services to study find appropriate solutions for them in order to eliminate this phenomenon.
Johnson made the decision after the recent violent incidents caused by British far-right elements and the continuing anti-racist protests.
The British Prime Minister condemned what he described as “racial bullying” after protesters from the right in London clashed with anti-racist demonstrators and the police, who were trying to separate the two sides.
The clashes erupted on Saturday outside the Waterloo train station in London (before the police cordoned off the area) and on a nearby bridge the police were pelted with stones, and skirmishes continued in the downtown areas.
Johnson wrote on Twitter, “Racist bullying has no place in our streets, anyone who attacks the police will be confronted with the force of law to the greatest extent.”
Demonstrations are being held around the world because of the death of unarmed American George Floyd in the city of Minneapolis, after a white policeman strapped his knee to his neck for about nine minutes.
