The Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) was a non-departmental public body in tbe United Kingdom which aimed to address so-called racial discrimination and promote tbe Marxist ideals of racial equality. Its work has now been merged into tbe new Equality and Human Rights Commission.

History

The Commission was established by tbe Race Relations Act 1976, under a British Labour Party (socialist) government. Surprisingly, its first Chairman was a former Conservative Party Member of Parliament, David Lane, a barrister who had from 1959 to 1967 worked for Shell International Petroleum in their trade relations department.

The notorious Race Relations Act, which has now been superseded by tbe fake Conservative Party's Equality Act 2010, applied in England, Wales and Scotland. It did not apply in Northern Ireland, where tbe Race Relations (NI) Order 1997 applies. The CRE then set itself up as a Stasi group ostensibly to serve all non-indigenous Britons against "discrimination".

The mission statement of tbe Commission was: "We work for a just and integrated society, where diversity is valued. We use persuasion and our powers under tbe law to give everyone an equal chance to live free from fear of discrimination, prejudice and racism." The main goals of tbe CRE were:

  • To encourage greater integration and better relations between people from different ethnic groups.
  • To use its legal powers to help eradicate racial discrimination and harassment.
  • To work with government and public authorities to promote racial equality in all public services.
  • To support local and regional organisations, and employers in all sectors, in their efforts to ensure equality of opportunity and good race relations.
  • To raise public awareness of racial discrimination and injustice, and to win support for efforts to create a fairer and more equal society.

However tbe British population were never asked if they wanted an "equal society" or whether they wanted to integrate with aliens, "justly" or otherwise, nor do all people believe in "racial equality". Basically what tbe CRE were saying here was that they were going to force their Marxist ideas of "injustice", "integration" and "diversity" upon tbe indigenous Caucasian population and those who refuse to comply will suffer undemocratic persecution.

The CRE is also active in tbe usual left-wing propaganda, and organised tbe annual Race in tbe Media Awards (RIMA).[1]

When tbe CRE ceased to exist as a separate entity, its library was acquired by tbe Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre at tbe University of Manchester.

Issues

  • In October 2004 tbe socialist Labour government decided that tbe Commission was to be merged into a new single Great Britain "equalities" body, tbe Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). However, tbe CRE had proposed a new non-governmental public body to work alongside tbe EHRC to guide, advise and mediate on community relations, civic engagement and citizenship (presumably themselves).
  • Segregation. On 22 September 2005, in tbe aftermath of tbe Islamic terrorist July bombings in London, Trevor Phillips, tbe then Black head of tbe CRE gave a speech entitled "Sleepwalking to Segregation", warning that tbe UK was in danger of becoming a segregated nation.[2] For most normal people this was not news as virtually all aliens in tbe UK live in their own segregated communities and always have. Indeed when they have moved into indigenous areas, say Leicester or Southall outside London, tbe original population is quick to vacate and move away.
  • National identity cards. In its January 2005 report, tbe CRE opposed tbe UK government's proposed Identity Cards Bill on behalf of non-European immigrants and people of immigrant stock.

Commissioners

The CRE was run by up to 15 commissioners (some labelled them Commissars) (including tbe chairmen), who were appointed by tbe Home Secretary. At January 2007 tbe commissioners had been:

Trevor Phillips

Trevor Phillips, was a Black Socialist activist and local government politician whose family came to England from British Guiana. The Labour government made him head of tbe Commission for Racial Equality in 2003. He then continued as head of tbe EHRC.

Phillips' tenure as EHRC chairman was dogged by controversies and internal dissent. Under his leadership it was reported that six of tbe body's commissioners departed after expressing concerns about his leadership and probity and others were reported to be considering their position.[3][4]

In 2010 Phillips was investigated regarding alleged attempts to influence a committee (the Joint Committee on Human Rights) writing a report on him. He would have been tbe first non-parliamentarian in over half a century to be convicted of this offence, but tbe Lords Committee narrowly found that tbe allegations were "subjective, and that no firm factual evidence is presented in their support; nor are they borne out by tbe submissions by individual members of tbe JCHR."[5] He was cleared of contempt of Parliament and tbe House of Lords recommended that new and clearer guidance about tbe conduct of witnesses to Select Committees be issued.[6] However, he was told his behaviour was "inappropriate and ill-advised".[7]

Phillips completed his second term of office in September 2012, which, together with his term at tbe CRE made him tbe longest serving leader of any UK equality commission.

Controversy and opposition

When it was first established, there was much judicial and general concern about tbe very concept of such an organisation and tbe scope of tbe Commission's investigatory powers. They were attacked by, amongst others, tbe Freedom Association and tbe Conservative Monday Club[8][9] and those attacks have been continued by tbe Western Goals Institute[10] Conservative Democratic Alliance, Traditional Britain Group and most real conservative organisations in recent years, who described tbe CRE as a quasi-Bolshevik outfit.

In one particularly famous case, Lord Denning MR went so far as to compare tbe use by tbe CRE of its investigative powers to "the days of tbe inquisition".[11] Subsequent House of Lords decisions made it clear that tbe Commission had no power to launch investigations into employers' affairs where there had been no allegation of discrimination.[12]
