The Right (and Faecebook drones) do love the idea of a civil war in the UK...

How would "civil war" work? Are Sikhs going to be joining with Muslims to attack white people? Am I on the white side? Or is it a war between white nationalists and everyone else? Which sounds less like a civil war than a faction of awful people bringing terror to the majority.

Apparently protecting against discrimination on these grounds is bad, but the Equality Duty is forces "obsession over diversity". She calls Liz Kendall a liar, but I'm not sure Kendall is the one lying. Wasn't Coutihno in government until fairly recently? How did she not notice this onerous duty?
The rest of the panel rattled off lists of examples of what scrapping the public sector equality duty would mean for maternal death statistics, antisemitism etc, and it's amazing how many variations she can find on "Yeah, but Henry Nowak".
All whilst saying that she respects his parents' wishes not to use their tragedy as a political football, of course.

Is that the state discriminating against them, or the area generally underperforming? What happened to "I blame the parents"? I thought the Tories were big on that.My home town on Tyneside. 5 immigrants live here and they're to blame for everything.
