On Wednesday, Dr Kandiah, founder of refugee charity The Sanctuary Foundation, referred to a Mail on Sunday article written by Jenrick this weekend.
He quoted a line from the Conservative politican that said: “I certainly don’t want my children to share a neighbourhood with men from backward countries who broke into Britain illegally and about whom we know next to nothing.”
Dr Kandiah continued: "These words echo a fear many have absorbed – fear of the stranger. The technical name for this is xenophobia. All phobias are, by definition, irrational. Nevertheless, they have a huge impact.
xenophobia “extreme dislike or fear of foreigners, their customs, their religions, etc.”

Sorry, I’m confused. BBC apologising for accurate reporting? Accurately calling out racism?
Still got a Tory appointed chairman and many board members. I remember when they used to attempt to be impartial.
Absolutely pathetic that they apologised. People like Jenrick need to be called out when they come out with disgusting nonsense like this.
