We are very pleased by the PM Theresa May's equality agenda. This is the first time that a UK PM specifically and loudly call on all UK institutions to address the barriers that many disadvantaged people are facing in accessing to services and opportunities. This has never happened in any developed word. It only happening in UK. Mrs Theresa May will be remembered as pro-Equality Lady. We do not need any more the empty equality rhetoric and propaganda from the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats just to attracts voters.
We are confident that the PM will succeed in tackling disadvantage caused by discrimination, prejudice, social class, disability, mental health, poverty, race and ethnicity, and gender that prevent people from accessing employment, housing, education, health, and criminal justice.
The PM should urgently find ways of solving the problems of hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers who have been in this country for more than 10 years and no decision has been taken about their asylum claim. This delay has contributed to raising unemployment among ethnic minorities and lack of education for their children. For many asylum claimants, the Home Office has lost their files. Many other asylum seekers have been holding Home Office's refusal letters for more than 10 years and these documents may not be used to access services and opportunities in the UK. They cannot open a bank account or rent a flat because of lack of proper ID.
This demonstrates how the UK public institutions' policies are the ones which are contributing to inequality and disadvantage among Black and minority ethnic communities.
We call on the PM to grant British citizenship for young people who have reached 18 years of age and have lived , worked and educated more than 10 years in the UK.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
