Needless to say, the teacher was not banned *because* they told a Muslim child that Britain is a Christian country🙄
I mean that was *one* of the things he said
And he was banned *after* several incidences
So technically the headline is true, but that’s not the actual story!

With this there would have been no Mo Farah. No Freddie Mercury. No Lenny Henry. No George Michael. No Meera Syal. No Sadiq Khan. No Sajid Javid. No Salman Rushdie. No Hanif Kureishi.

We, 🇪🇺, have a system of visas. We apply this to third countries.
You, 🇬🇧, rejected Schengen and then rejected citizenship multiple times in Brexit. You became a third country by choice.
So we 🇪🇺 will have the border system that suits our citizens.

6 December 1942 | Grigol Peradze, a cleric of the Georgian Orthodox Church, an archimandrite, perished in #Auschwitz.
Since 1933, he lectured at the College of Orthodox Theology at Warsaw University. The Germans arrested him on 5 May 1942, and, in November, deported him to Auschwitz.

I was persuaded that 4 days in Lyme Regis would be a lovely break in December. I must be bloody mad.

Great thread reminding us what's at stake.
Today, Nigel Farage reiterated his belief that Enoch Powell ‘was right’.
If you are a Sikh, he’s talking about you - about how ‘wearing turbans whilst driving a bus would disrupt Britain’.
If you are black, he’s talking about you - how when you moved in next door to white people, you ‘took over’.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
