Phillips, a former chair of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, would be a controversial choice, having previously referred to UK Muslims as being “a nation within a nation”.
I'm always staggered by how similar the "Muslim debate" is to previous discussions about Jews and Roman Catholics. Right down to using identical phrases.
I bet the dude has probably even used the "if we don't learn from history etc" in a soundbite.

It doesn't sound very original no, almost as if the same stories are transposed onto a different group... amazing people don't see that, or, don't WANT to see that.
RE the broadband, sure, marketing it was an issue. The same people objecting would also object to roads we all pay for via taxation, and "free" cycle lanes cos "I don't cycle..." perhaps there is a standard story you need to tell them? ;)

Looking at who they pick here, I guess we can't expect too much?
