Well done to Labour's Lucy Powell for calling out the Green's Zack Polansi here.
Well done also for the Mirror for covering the story....but they did so on 6th Feb.
I called out Polanski for the same misleading charts on 25th Jan - a whole 12 days ago.
The media really need to catch up!

He seems to have had a free pass on this, as if it never happened.

Dehumanizing Black people by portraying them as apes is one of the oldest, most explicit racist tropes in history, used to justify slavery, segregation, and violence.
