How the BBC portrays it:

Another Recruit for the Royal Navy [John Derbyshire]

Lisa: Radio Derb (on air shortly) highlights the most depressing aspect of Islamo-teddy-bear-gate: the reaction of Mrs. Gibbon’s son John. The Beeb quotes this 25-year-old instantiation of the New Briton as saying, or sniveling: “I don’t want the verdict to lead to any anti feeling towards Muslims. ... One of my fears, and I imagine my mother’s also, will be that this results in any sort of resentment towards Muslim people.”

Radio Derb supplies the obvious commentary:

No, that would never do, would it, John? They lock up your Mum in a filthy rat-infested dungeon for what was obviously an honest mistake, and your biggest fear is that someone will feel resentment towards them. You know my biggest fear, John? My biggest fear is, that there are enough whimpering poltroons like yourself in the Western world to turn our civilization to mush, the way political correctness has turned your brain to mush.
