Trevor Phillips: ghetto blaster?
Neil Davenport
Even when Phillips talks about the importance of commonality and unity, the only examples he can muster are Shakespeare and the British culture of 'tolerance'. The basic notion that what we have in common is more important than what sets us apart is still anathema to contemporary thinking. Whilst the political elites might 'controversially' criticise the excesses of multiculturalism, they're tightening its grip on society every step of the way.
