Communist Magazine Scribbler Trevor Phillips Faces New Rebellion in ECHR
Communist Party of Great Britain magazine contributor Trevor Phillips faces a new rebellion within the ranks of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission after it emerged he tried to incite staff members to entrap the British National Party.
Mr Phillips, who first came to prominence in September 1984 when he penned an article on the Labour Party’s “Black Sections” in the magazine Marxism Today (the theoretical journal of the Communist Party of Great Britain), has been forced to sanction an internal investigation after ECHR executives criticised his BNP entrapment campaign, claiming it was “illegal, unethical and unprofessional.”
According to the reports, three regional executives were asked to find black and Asian “agents” who would approach BNP councillors with purported complaints about poor council services.
The executives were also asked to recruit “agent provocateurs” from ethnic minority groups to apply for membership of the BNP.
The purpose of this exercise was to try and gather “evidence” against the BNP for use in a court case. The ECHR plan hoped to try and uncover “proof” that elected BNP officials would “fail to tackle” grievances about local problems raised by ethnic members of the community.
This plan is all the more shocking because there have already been several examples where BNP councillors have helped ethnic members of the public.
Mr Phillips’s plan was therefore in extreme bad faith, and was recognised as such by his own staff. According to reports, Tim Wainwright, the commission’s director of regions, held a telephone conference call on 10 July with three executives in charge of its operations in the south of England, the west Midlands and northern England.
They were asked to find non-whites who would try to join the BNP and to complain to BNP councillors about the quality of local services.
According to reports, Clifford Stewart, head of the commission’s operations for the south of England, who was present during the conference call, the matter was now under investigation.
Ominously, the ECHR said in an official statement last week that it was “never its policy to encourage anyone to join the BNP.” The latest furore makes this claim out to be yet another lie.
Mr Phillips, who also won fame for keeping a bust of Lenin on his desk, was recently criticised in an independent report by the Deloitte consultancy which said that the race-police organisation “lacks leadership, represents only the Labour Party and is packed with state sector ‘placemen’.”
