THERE is nothing quite like a leftie MP with their head in the sand. But that is what we have with the great case of Claudia Webbe.

Ms Webbe is the MP for Leicester East and, given what is going on in her constituency in recent weeks, it is not surprising that she should try to speak out.

Because since the end of last month there has been serious unrest on the streets of Leicester.

It seems to have started during the India-Pakistan cricket match at the end of August, when supporters of India chanted anti-Pakistan slogans.

Pakistan’s supporters replied in kind.

Soon groups of Muslims and Hindus were facing off in their hundreds on the city’s streets.

Social media footage shared by both Hindus and Muslims shows groups from both sides — masked men banging on people’s windows in Hindu-majority areas and pulling down religious decorations, and others marching down predominantly Muslim-populated streets, chanting a religious slogan used by far-right Hindu nationalist groups in India.

Tensions have now been running high for weeks, and the local police have been caught in the middle of it.

And what does Corbynite MP ­Claudia warn about? She has said the Government needs to clamp down on “extremist right-wing ideology” being spread online.

It is to be assumed that Webbe does not mean the Hindu nationalists or Muslim extremists battling each other on the streets of her constituency.

Although by a number of definitions they could easily be labelled “right-wing”. But no, it appears that Webbe is more concerned about what is happening in the virtual world than about what’s happening in the real world.

And that is a familiar trope in our era. Five years ago when three ­Islamist extremists started slashing at the throats of pedestrians on London Bridge, the then Prime Minister and Mayor of London talked about the role that the tech companies needed to play in stopping extremism.

As though the jihadists who ­committed that atrocity were somehow provoked by Facebook.

They never talked about the ­immigration that had led to this — including the fact that at least one of the attackers was here illegally, was known to be here illegally and had not even come close to being deported.

It is always the same in this country. Our politicians of all stripes — to be fair to her, Webbe is not the only one — forever focus on everything but the primary issue.

The primary issue in Leicester is that community relations have broken down. And nobody has a damn idea of what to do about it, other than to keep the two sides apart.

Will the police be able to do that for ever? Is Leicester always due to be just one cricket match away from ­disaster? Quite possibly. But that is what happens when you have an immigration policy that has never been able to think forwards more than 24 hours.

All Webbe and her colleagues know to do is to call for calm. And blame shadowy “right-wing” forces online, of course.

But in fact, while some people certainly do spread disinformation online, most people are simply passing around videos of what is happening on the streets of one of our cities.

Because it worries people. Indeed, it has even worried the Indian government, whose High ­Commission in London has written to their British counterpart urging them to bring peace to Leicester’s streets and protect Hindu communities.

This is an insane state of affairs.

We might expect such a call to go the other way around. But what does it say about 21st Century Britain that countries like India have to call on the British government to end ­inter-religious violence in our cities?

Nothing positive, that’s for sure.

The truth is that what is happening on the streets of Leicester has happened before and will happen again.

Twenty-one years ago there were similar disturbances on the streets of Oldham. A report was commissioned into it and then everybody moved on.

And we should expect this to ­happen again and again.

Why? Because MPs like Claudia have already decided what the problem cannot be.

The problem cannot be that we have had an immigration system in recent decades that has allowed too many people in too fast.

And which hasn’t bothered to be selective or even ­wondered what the impact might be of bringing in people from parts of the world with very deep ethnic ­tensions of their own.

Tensions that now play out on Britain’s streets.

No — all of that discussion is way off limits. Because it would involve admitting mistakes.

And trying not to make them again. Which is about the last thing our MPs can do.

And that is why we shouldn’t be shocked about what is happening in Leicester.
