A racial equality strategy drafted in 2005 has still not been implemented in Northern Ireland.

BBC News NI

Mr Fraser was appointed as head of the racial equality unit in 2002, and is the author of both drafts of the Racial Equality Strategy - published in 2005 and 2015 respectively. Dr Evelyn Collins, chief executive of the Equality Commission, said political leadership was needed to implement the racial equality strategy.

"It gives me the message, as someone from a mixed-race background, Stormont does not care about racial inequality." The Executive Office told BBC News NI: "Through partnership working and collaborating with the Racial Equality Sub Group, Racial Equality Champions and ethnic minority communities, we continue to make good progress in delivering many of the key commitments in the Racial Equality Strategy for 2015-2025.

Profiteering and greed all the way Media don't challenge or investigate anymore, they only report what they are told and serve it as fact. Maybe ask how they can drop the price by 30p per litre?
