Officials accused of gagging anti-extremism tsar
by Daniel Martin, Mailonline:
The Home Office has been accused of trying to censor a report into the government’s failure to manage the impact of mass immigration.
The study by the government’s integration tsar Dame Louise Casey is said to criticise ministers for failing to integrate minorities and tackle extremism.
The report has been ready for months, according to reports but its publication was delayed after Home Office officials expressed ‘unhappiness’ about its content.
According to the Sunday Times, the report is understood to criticise the government for failing to get a grip on the pace of immigration and its impact on public services until too late.
It reportedly cites a lack of a strategy to integrate communities, with some areas becoming Muslim-only zones, and the failure to promote and defend a programme designed to counter radicalism.
The newspaper said it is understood that the report also warns that ‘liberal tolerance’ has gone too far.
Several of Casey’s criticisms directly concern the performance of the Home Office under Theresa May, who was home secretary for six years before becoming prime minister.
