Tory leader Michael Howard has called for a greater effort to promote a sense of "British identity" among immigrant communities.
He said the "complacency" over the UK's record in integrating other communities into British society has been "shattered" by the London bombings.
Quote :
"We should be British first and British last, while staunchly adhering to our respective faiths."
'
"We had to face the terrible truth of being the first western country to have suffered terrorist attacks perpetrated by 'home-grown' suicide bombers," Mr Howard said.
Mr Howard went on to say that such a sense of allegiance needed to be made "more meaningful", if necessary through the deportation of people who would not accept it.
