SIR - It is time to shut down the Commission for Racial Equality.
The witch-finder general is calling for a ban on BNP members working in the public sector. Not content with preventing BNP members from becoming police constables or prison officers, Trevor Phillips is calling on local government employers to take action against council employees who are BNP members.
Mr Phillips, the commission's chairman, said; "Surely the time has come to question whether BNP members can truly carry out the role of public servant."
With hallmark arrogance, Phillips, son of Guyanese immigrants and a former London Assembly member for the Labour Party, said he did not believe it was possible to reconcile BNP membership with a commitment to serve all members of the public.
His latest outburst can be seen for what it really is - a further desperate bid to stifle the rapidly growth of the British National Party.
The message will be driven home in 2007 that BNP members have human rights as well and that attempts to remove our rights to employment in all sectors - public and private - will not go unchallenged.
Martin Roberts, Worcestershire BNP.
