CSP condemns racist thuggery @IshmaelBeckford, chair of the CSP council, has condemned recent violence in several parts of the country targeting Muslim, Black and migrant communities and also the police. He said: 'CSP members live and work in many of the communities which have seen organised racist violence over recent days. We stand with these communities and with our members in the face of threats and attacks. We welcome the commitments made by the Government and police to tackle those organising this criminality.' 'Those behind these attacks on local communities are seeking to exploit and misattribute grievances around the decline of services such as the NHS, low pay and other genuine problems our society faces. Terrorising local communities does nothing to address these issues. Only by working together can we build a better future for all.'
