Thinking - ‘there are more Muslim voters than Jewish voters

He strikes me as a man who has learned a great deal through his work, and presents extremely balanced views.
What are the Labour Party thinking of?

Of course he’s too reasonable. He talks a lot of sense. Not something the hard left can handle; it doesn’t suit their agenda. They’re also playing to the muslim vote.

It is really odd, isnt it? Maybe he is too reasonable for the extreme left.

There was nothing Islamophobic or racist said by Trevor,
he is being used , an announcement that there are demands for an enquiry into Islamophobia in the Tory party and woosh
Jennie Forby suspends him, pity she failed to do the same with
the anti semetic lot in the Labour Party.

Sorry to hear this - admirable man, talked a lot of sense about racism.

Well this is an odd one.

Trevor Phillips who formerly chaired the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), has been suspended from the Labour Party pending an investigation and could be expelled as a Labour Member as the Labour Party accuses him of Islamophobia.

If ever there was a sane voice and principled advocate for Equality and Human Rights I find hard to find if not Trevor Phillips.

I suppose there will be agreement and disagreement but I do not find any racist or Islamophobic in what he has said.
