I didn't quote the whole post tal, it was too long but that's pretty powerful stuff.
I don't believe anyone in power in the UK would have the nerve to say something like that. They would undoubtedly be applauded for saying it if they did but then there would be a backlash - by the people who take political correctness too far. I know I get accused of being PC (well, Tealeaf accuses me regularly) but the thing is that all I believe in is tolerance on both sides and I totally agree with the sentiment that if you can't accept tolerance then you're in the wrong place. It works both ways!
I think it needs someone like Blair or Cameron (could be an election winner if he made a strong stand on this) to say it. They would then have to actually act on it though and I think that's where they've made the mistake in the past.
