Another 29 January has come and gone with the country, once again, dodging the instatement of a national "Day of Remembrance and Action on Islamophobia". Escaping such a day of atonement was certainly no sure thing. The lobbying effort to put it in place was both sustained and intense. Once considered a “slam dunk”, by virtue of its inclusion as
