Killing us softly: Melanie Phillips writes about the agenda that’s doing in the U.K. (and having a similarly devastating effect here in Canada):

…So the multicultural rights agenda, which is progressively destroying the effectiveness of our armed forces, police and security service, means Britain cannot be defended. No surprise there — because it is all about destroying the historic identity of this country.

Of course, any civilised society should be mindful of the need to be tolerant towards people from different cultures and to ensure that they don’t suffer on account of those differences. But multiculturalism and the rights agenda have fashioned these decent instincts into a weapon of war against majority values and the very identity of our nation.

Far from promoting harmony, this simply destroys the most powerful thing that binds us together — our national identity. In place of a common project to support and defend the nation, it sets the strong against the weak and tears society apart…
