Mike is this the same New/Noo Labour Hazel Blears who in March 2005 told the
Home Affairs Select Committee with glee "Dealing with the counter-terrorist
threat and the fact that at the moment the threat is most likely to come from
those people associated with an extreme form of Islam, or falsely hiding behind
Islam, if you like, in terms of justifying their activities, inevitably means
that some of our counter-terrorist powers will be disproportionately
experienced by people in the Muslim community" and went on later that year
while Charles Clarke (the then Home Secretary) was on holiday, to try to
introduce the 'rebranding' of ethnic minorities in favour of adopting US-style
hyphenated titles such as 'Asian-British-Englishman', a move quickly distanced
by Blair and the rest of his cabinet... is it that Hazel Blears ?
