My, how the U.K. has fallen...
A once proud and stable region is destroying itself in its attempts to be 'inclusive.' Writing in The Times U.K., Claire Coutinho, the shadow equalities minister, said that the definition risked intensifying the 'culture of censorship' by creating a 'special status' for one group over others. Shocker. Rape crimes have skyrocketed in correlation with the U.K.'s open borders policy, but if the Labour Party has its way, citizens will not be permitted to have an honest discussion about issues such as that.

Full disclosure, Dear Readers, this writer had to Google just what the heck a 'shadow equalities minister' is. According to Wikipedia, 'The shadow cabinet or shadow ministry is a feature of the Westminster system of government. It consists of a senior group of opposition spokespeople who, under the leadership of the Leader of the Opposition, form an alternative cabinet to that of the government, and whose members shadow or mirror the positions of each individual member of the Cabinet.'
The deputy prime minister set up a working group last spring to provide recommendations to the government on 'appropriate and sensitive language' to describe 'unacceptable treatment, prejudice and discrimination' against Muslims., according to The Times U.K.
Apparently, an honest discussion of the issues facing their country regarding increased immigration from predominately Muslim countries is a big no-no. Wouldn't want to offend or be insensitive towards rapists, now, would they? (Of course, this writer is NOT, we repeat NOT saying that 'all' Muslim men are rapists and criminals, but leftists hate-reading these articles will certainly choose to see it that way. You cannot simply ignore what is objectively happening in those countries these past several years or so, though.)

Sometimes the truth really is that simple.
Do they not realise that the more they push, the more they oppress their own people, the worse the backlash is going to be?

Let's be honest. The UK will be an Islamic Republic within the next decade. There is no way no muslim brits can defend themselves from what is coming. https://t.co/GCEyzWPfFm

Christopher Hitchens on the Islamic invasion of Britain.
The full quote being referenced to here reads 'Resist it while you still can before the right to complain is taken from you.' Fitting, no?
So they're opting for total cover up and no discussion allowed.

It certainly appears to be the case, doesn't it?
According to the Times, the U.K. government attempted to limit public input into the plans by circulating the call for evidence to only a limited number of groups, but that plan was derailed by Claire Coutinho when she found and posted a link to the consultation form over on X and other social media platforms. The government was subsequently BOMBARDED with thousands of responses, all of which now need to be processed and considered before moving forward.
Steve Reed, the Minister in charge of Labour’s Islamophobia definition, wrote to councils in 2021 to urge them to adopt the 2018 definition that said talking about grooming gangs was racist.

Her post continues:
...where grooming gangs operated. He must now investigate whether the definition he asked them to adopt hindered their ability to investigate these evil crimes. Labour’s secretive Islamophobia definition will prevent people from talking about the difficult issues that we must be able to discuss in a free society. They must scrap it.
Labour will now enforce Islamic blasphemy laws.

They no longer represent Britain. They are a tyrannical government that oppresses their own people and uses Islam for their political power and intimidation.
That's what Labour thinks of Britain's daughters, apparently.

Incredibly sad and concerning, but still true. Pray for the U.K.
