Having been pilloried by exactly those self-appointed guardians of diversity once before for a piece I wrote criticising the cultural problems thrown up by an influx of Roma into the south side of Glasgow, you’ll appreciate my reluctance to get drawn into this debate this time round.

But in one respect at least, Phillips has hit the bull’s eye. So maybe his thoughts are worth considering before, rather than after, he’s dismissed by the Multicultural and Diversity Industry.

Phillips points out that some of the cultural inheritance of some of our immigrant communities feature rather un-progressive views on women’s rights, homosexuality and, dare I say it, anti-Semitism.

From such attitudes has the repulsive philosophy of Islamism been encouraged, a political form of Islam which seeks to subvert all mankind under Sharia law through the restoration of the “Caliphate”, or worldwide Islamic government.

Everyone who believes in true diversity and democracy, in equal rights for women and homosexuals, in respecting the opinions of people of other religions and none – these are the people who would, by any logical approach, be utterly intolerant of Islamists and the neo-fascism they promote.
