Lord Pearson’s speech in the House of Lords on Islam has provoked another backlash. Firstly the @MuslimCouncil and @MABOnline1 made formal complaints to the House of Lord commission for standards.
And last week the Chief Whips sent a letter to every Peer warning them about their speech in Parliament (to restrict debate on Islam???) stating among other things that:

“against the backdrop within the public domain of increasing misinformation and fear”
“we as a House must ensure debate that does not descend into vitriol, use of false facts, or use of rhetoric designed to offend and inflame.”

“If language during debate does become offensive it is incumbent on Members of the House to respond accordingly to ensure such offence is not the message that the House sends.”
