Im guessing that all these arguements about race stem from the fact that brian was chatting to a French speaking person at Lewisham hospital and determined that they were not from northern Africa, but rather western Africa, had not recently moved from France where they or their family were born and also had no family in the UK. By dint of the fact they were working, he determined they were not asylm seekers but he didnt enquire if they had had an application for asylm approved recently. He then asked about the cleaning staffs citizenship application process and found that that they had all been given citizenship based on the cleaning jobs they obtained over white, locally born english speaking people, no? Perhaps I am overcomplicating a simple issue.
