One big equality mush
Britain's black communities don't trust a single super-quango to
defend their rights. Will New Labour listen?

Plans for an equalities super-quango, announced in the Queen's speech,
were overshadowed by a focus on terrorism and ID cards. Ironic that
these potentially discriminatory measures are being proposed at the
same time as a promise to get rid of discrimination.
Proposals for a single body to deal with all equality issues have
already been overwhelmingly rejected by black communities and many
others concerned with equality issues, but ministers intend to plough
ahead regardless.
