There is a excellent, thought-provoking argument laid down in this paper by independent Labour councillor, Mark Langhammer. Aimed at government insiders and various policy makers, it begins with a direct appeal:

This document sets out some elements of a new approach towards Protestant communities. It is being issued in the hope that it will stimulate debate.

We’ll come back for more later.
