Your report is correct in this

but the Left put across the view that we are more racist society, that we are a more oppressive to minorities society when the fact just don't support that view.

The recent report into race is a perfect example, where because it didn't fit in with the narrative, the report itself was branded racist.

If the Left (and Labour along with it) continues to move down the Culture War/ Identity Politics route it will become a fringe organisation.
Is that report just not a good example of the Right stirring up the Culture Wars, knowing that the reaction of the Left will jar with the average voter?
