Trevor Phillips: a career in crisis
Subject

Description
Outspoken, clever, brave and possessing great strategic nous – Trevor Phillips should have been a brilliant leader of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. So what on earth went wrong? The idea of celebrity may not always mean much to a celebrity but there is a hierarchy to these things, and so it is that one of Trevor Phillips’s prized possessions is a photograph of himself in the company of Nelson Mandela.
