Growing tensions between India and Pakistan have prompted warnings that sectarianism threatens to spill onto the streets of Britain ’ But it’s a bit too late for that. Sectarianism isn’t just rife at the protests in London or even the rhetoric being spouted in the mosques and madrassas of the UK .

It is fast infecting our local councils, Parliament itself and many of our great institutions.

A senior Labour source told me recently that its MPs were unlikely to get re-elected in some parts of the country.

Lucy Powell suggested that anyone who mentions the grooming rape gangs scandal is blowing a dog whistle’ Last month , a group of 20 Labour MPs petitioned the prime minister of Pakistan to build a new airport in Mirpur , the ancestral homeland of a majority of Britain ’s Pakistani population.

Factor in the regular contributions of the four “pro-Gaza” independent MPs in Parliament and you can’t easily escape sectarianism.
