June 2019. The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has accused the Tory Party of “fundamental failures” in tackling Islamophobia. Its head of public affairs, Miqdaad Versi, said he had seen “hundreds of cases” within the party, “demonstrating the scale of the problem”. When action was taken, he claimed the offending members were “quietly let back into the party”. Conservative chairman Brandon Lewis has previously said “swift action” is taken when complaints are made. The MCB is an umbrella organisation of various UK Muslim bodies, including mosques, schools, and charitable associations. It has formally asked the Equality and Human Rights Commission to investigate accusations of Islamophobia in the Tory Party, claiming it “runs deep”. The watchdog said it was considering complaints in line with its “usual processes”. What seems to be ‘Running Deep’ is the Attack on Free Speech in General and Criticism of Islam in particular.
