In this country we are all equal before the law. We all have one vote: no more, no less. The Equality Act 2010 makes it clear that we are to be treated equally by government in the field of education and in the provision of public goods and services. Indeed, we have an Equality and Human Rights Commission—thank goodness. It is extraordinary that the list of fundamental British values that we have at the moment should have been drawn up without something that is so basic to our life.
