Yet another Inquisition ?

The Equality and Human Rights Commission must be given the power to fight the class divide in Britain, its chairman has said.

Trevor Phillips told BBC Radio 4's World at One he would launch a "new assault" on inequality and wanted an extension to the organisation's remit.
A report by the commission says there is too much "vertical" division in Britain between social classes.
It states: "We are not just limiting our description [of inequality] by gender or race but we are also looking at this extremely important issue of class."

BBC home affairs editor Mark Easton said this was "a radical departure which is likely to be criticised by some as an implicitly political policy from a statutory body that must remain independent of party ideology".

BBC NEWS | Politics | Fight class divide, says Phillips

As Nu Labours grip loosens the rush to re-engineer society gathers pace ..... The Equality and Human Rights Commission formerly the Equal Opportunities Commission independent of party ideology ..... ROFL .... another classic from the BBC
