Ar far as I can tell the there is no minister for black and minority ethnic communities.

[Zacs-Master]

She's 'shadow minister for diverse communities'. No mention of Black.

[bednobs]

it'll be Sajid Javid won't it?

[ToraToraTora]

just under the picture zacs, I cut the job description from there.

"Dawn Butler is the new shadow minister for black and minority ethnic communities "

/// In general diverse means variety. So a diverse community is different people ///

Then who are these different people, are we not always being told we are all equal?

[ToraToraTora]

Sajid David is SOS for communities and local governement.

The opposition cabinet shadows the governing one, so if you're in the shadow cabinet you're a shadow minister even if there's no corresponding job description to yours.

ok I got it the first time ludwig.

So can we also have a shadow minister for White and minority ethnic communities?

[Mamyalynne]

I imagine if you are in charge of reshuffling and creating posts you can.

[ludwig]

We can have a shadow minister for garden gnome affairs if 'Jeremy' creates one.

[ToraToraTora]

sorry lidwig missed that....

[Khandro]

ludwig; How can there be shadow without substance?

[cassa333]

He's making it up as he goes along.

Nothing new to see (or hear) here.

[Zacs-Master]

So you took the shadow ministers job description from underneath a picture rather than her actual title? Mmm.

where else is it in the article? Did the BBC get it wrong?
