the problem with UK sentences is not that sentences are too short- on the contrary

Regarding comparisons with the 70s and 80s, the police brutality apparatus in those decades was busy persecuting unions, CND activists, Irish republicans, the New Left and so on, but now it can be concentrated on refugees and/or Muslims given that those former "others" are largely gone. Popular racism is about the same given that we had "Curry and Chips", "Love They Neighbour", Jim Davidson, etc, back then. Daily Telegraph/Spectator racism is pretty much a constant over the decades; they are still fighting the Mau Mau, as it were.

I think there’s a difference-in that 1) in the sixties and seventies there was lipservice at least to the ideas and principles of liberal democracy, that we were all equal under the law etc
moreover the direction of travel was then to help those rights be secured-by Equal Opportunities legislation, ( including in Northern Ireland) availability of Legal Aid and establishment of Law Centres and so on.
Now they aren’t even pretending

Black men were always targeted by police brutality over and above those you have named.

It wouldn't surprise me if Johnson was in (relative) financial dire straights. He seems to be the sort of person who spaffs money as quick as it hits his bank account.
But I should imagine there are plenty of funds salted away in trust funds.
