Chairman for Equality & Human Rights: BNP should be treated as “less than human” claim.

We draw readers attention to the piece below from the Herald, one of Scotland’s leading newspapers, for one very good reason – the comments therein attributed to Trevor Phillips.
Trevor is, as we all should by now know, no less a light than the Chairman of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights. We repeat that – for Equality and Human Rights!
How then, we wonder, does this paragon of virtue reconcile the following statement - they (the BNP – ed) – “should be treated as “less than human’ “ with this most august of public roles?
It’s not that we actually mind him saying this of course, because Trevor – whether he realises it or not – is one of the best recruiting sergeants the Party could hope for! And, the more hateful, hurtful and hypocritical he becomes, the more ordinary working native Britons will warm to us!
But lets face it – only in Labour’s Britain or George Orwell’s 1984 – could you have a “Chairman for Equality and Human Rights” apparently so supportive of inequality and dismissive of human rights!
To quote from the Herald:
“Scotland must guard against an increase in racism and attacks on asylum seekers, a leading equality watchdog has warned.
Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Commission of Equality and Human Rights, said there was a clear choice facing communities who are witnessing an influx of migrants.
Speaking at the STUC annual congress in Glasgow he said the choice was between welcoming people or fearing newcomers.
He urged people to turn their backs on racists in communities and at the ballot box and showed his contempt for the British National Party by saying they should be treated as “less than human”.
He said: “We will see communities standing up for asylum seekers who want to live as part of that community. We will see the Scottish government welcoming them as part of the fresh talent initiative.
“But we will also see the ugly face. We will see those who will assault a woman and baby simply because they are foreigners.
“We as a society have a choice. In England we have the BNP. The path is to keep them out We need to change in an inclusive way.”
