Children’s commissioner finds wide disparity with white counterparts in year to June 2023, with 88% of searches aimed at finding drugs
Black children are four times more likely to be strip-searched by police officers across England and Wales than their white counterparts, according to the latest nationwide figures disclosed by a watchdog.
The children’s commissioner also found that children under the age of 15 are a bigger proportion of those subjected to intimate searches, official figures from the year to June 2023 showed. Fewer than half of all searches of children in that year (45%) were conducted in the presence of an appropriate adult.
A report released on Monday also found that nearly nine out of every 10 of searches [88%] conducted by England and Wales’s 44 forces were trying to find drugs.

I think they’re doing their job reasonably well. It’s up to you whether you read the actual links or not
I like how despite copy-pasting these large excerpts as a Gish gallop, you cut it off right before:
That’s not at all what mixed is?? If you fail like five fact checks in five years while you put out more than quintuple that amount of articles per day, that’s not “MIXED”, and it’s literal orders of magnitude different than the disinformation factory that Breitbart is.
Moreover, the fact checks don’t even seem to be accurate. “Private renting is making people ill.” “Private renting is making people ill, but maybe this happens with other housing situations too, we don’t know, so we rate this as false.”
Absolutely asinine.
So you can find all this information out by reading a bit more of the MBFC report?
Cool, I’ll do that, and get a slightly more objective opinion than I would’ve got, and make my own decisions about the source.
You continue barking at the moon like a leaded-petrol-huffing yank 😂
Strange person!
