"Positive action to help some white groups"?
by Paul Goodman MP

... there's no doubt that sections of the white working class are seriously disadvantaged.

Parts of that class undoubtedly feel that other ethnic groups have had more attention and understanding from this Labour Government, and from other governments over many years, than they have. Nor is this view confined to one class only.

There's a telling story in the Chief Rabbi's new book "The home we build together". I don't have the text in front of me, but the gist of the tale is that a teacher asks each pupil in a class where he or she comes from. One after another names a different place abroad. Finally, a white English pupil says: "I don't suppose that I come from anywhere".

The point of the story is that there are serious consequences if the cultural heritage, as well as the economic condition, of a very large group of people is neglected by mainstream politicians. The subsequent gap in the political market is exploited by extremist parties. Even more importantly, damage is done to the country's sense of its own well-being...
