Multiculturalism remains state policy

Ministers tell us they think state multiculturalism has failed.  It's divisive, and no longer government policy, apparently.  

Meanwhile, in the world beyond Westminster, it seems that things carry on as before. 

The quango that presides over such things is now actively encouraging people who cannot read English to serve on juries, according to the Daily Mail.  My own local council tell me they have a legal requirement to translate documents into all sorts of languages - yet no one seems able to provide me with the details of the primary legislation.   

Is there not a growing disconnect between what politicians say needs to happen, and what actually happens in the real world?  The speeches are made, and the ministerial levers pulled.  Yet what happens?

Too many salaried officials seem to have too great a vested interest in the paraphernalia of state-funded multi culturalism to take much notice of what those we elect happen to think.
