I'm saying that whenever anyone uses the term "diversity" these days in a bid to appeal to the public (in the Leeds Council's case, for tourism purposes,) it normally tells me that they're a drone with no actual opinions of their own, nor do they have the ability to express themselves in a way that's showing that they have an individual thought of their own.

And when it comes to the unrest part, I don't know how that gets resolved when a portion of the Roma community are championing bad parenting? Unless somehow the Leeds City Council can convince them that child neglect (if that report is true) is wrong I don't see a solution in the present.

Tbf to the Roma community though, the fact that none of the rioters didn't question why Social Services (a group that normally has it's hands tied behind it's back) is actually proceeding to take the Father's children away from him didn't twig with them that "hey, this guy might just be a bad parent."

That's the logic that the Leeds City Council have got to try and fix, because disturbingly there were probably people in Leeds that didn't riot, but secretly agreed with what the rioters were doing.
