Mikey, where you found racism in this thread is anyone’s guess – but that’s your forte. That said, no need to be coy when you’re talking about me, but it would be good if you could at least attempt to be rather less deceitful. People can read. The father of the girl you’re talking about was known to have attended extremist meetings – the point being that had he not held extremist sympathies the chances are his children would not have been influenced by extremism. When the daughter ran off to marry a jihadist his public tears were futile.

I know and have known several teachers who do it – including one of my own.
