Who needs Borat to caricature funny foreigners from the East when we have Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality?

Meanwhile, Mr Phillips told BBC viewers of anecdotal evidence that new Eastern European immigrants are coming to Britain ‘frankly with attitudes towards black people which date back to the 1950s. That is unacceptable.’
