‘. . . the country’s diversity do not only come from one entrenched demographic of white, middle-aged men.’

First, England’s not ‘diverse’; she’s 88% white. The next largest groups are blacks (2.8%) and Indians (2.6%).
Second, the new math: White = Bad.

‘Anti-racists’ are the most racist as they see first a man’s skin, which is the problem they claim to battle.

To cross this vale of tears!

He's had to guide that ship through some rough seas and the whole time he wasn't even sure if he'd be in the job the next day, regardless of whether or not he won matches. I'm glad he got the job.
