Thick-as-mince teachers will drive our kids into the EDL with their spiteful leftie wokery – but I know the solution
WHEN Stuart Field arrived to pick up his 12-year-old daughter Courtney from school, he found she was sitting alone in the reception area. When he asked why, he was in for a shock. 7 It had been the school 's 'Culture Celebration Day'. And Courtney had been segregated from all the other pupils. Because she had chosen to celebrate her British culture by wearing a Union Jack dress. Stuart said: 'It's cultural diversity day at school where children can wear clothing representing their culture and write a speech about their heritage. 'She's been told it's not for her as she gets to celebrate being British every day.' And so she was kept apart from all her friends. She wasn't quite alone, actually. Anybody else who chose to wear something redolent of Great Britain was also kicked out, including a kid who wore a Welsh costume to celebrate his Welsh heritage. And so this is where we have got to with our moronic teachers. Celebrating alien forms of culture is just fine and dandy. But try to celebrate being British and see where it gets you. Courtney had intended to give a little speech. It was all about celebrating every culture and the wonders of diversity. Well, good for you, love. But it wouldn't surprise me if she fancies joining the English Defence League now. Because that's what this kind of vindictive stupidity can do to a person, when you're on the receiving end. The school, which is in Bilton near Rugby, Warks, later apologised 'unreservedly' for what had happened to Courtney. And it said: 'As a school, we are reviewing our policies and strengthening staff training to ensure our practices reflect our values of inclusion, respect and understanding for all. 'We are committed to fostering an environment where every pupil feels respected, valued and included.' No, you drongos. Not good enough. Not anywhere near good enough. Can you imagine what would have happened if someone chose to wear Nigerian dress to celebrate their culture? And had then been told off and sent to sit by themselves? Or someone wearing a niqab? 7 We want answers from this school. First, why did they think it was wrong to celebrate a British heritage? Second, what disciplinary procedures have been taken against the staff member(s) who decided that segregating Courtney was a really good idea? Third, why were you having a cultural awareness day? Why not spend the time instead teaching the kids how to add up and write their own names? This is one of the most odious slices of spiteful wokery I have come across for a very long time. Thick as mince And yet it is somehow perfectly representative of the state of mind which pertains in classrooms up and down the country. These fabulously dim-witted people — the teachers — are almost exclusively lefties who cannot abide anything about our culture. And the children are being brainwashed about how horrid and wicked Britain was (and is) on a daily basis. I don't know how you sort this stuff out. It is so widespread in our schools it would take mass sackings. Thousands upon thousands of disciplinary hearings. I will happily oversee the process, if anyone's interested. And in the meantime, Courtney — well done. You were right to stick up for your culture. And don't worry about the teachers. They're thick as mince and never get more than £2,000 in the Cash Builder round on The Chase. SPANISH dwarfs are revolting. The Barcelona star Lamine Yamal hired four dwarves to serve drinks and perform magic tricks at his 18th birthday. But a Spanish dwarf association, Los Poco Furioso, dobbed him in to the police. They claimed he was exploiting dwarves. That's not the real name of the association, by the way. It's something very long and self-righteous, in Spanish. The dwarves who performed for Lamine told the moaners to get lost. They hadn't been exploited at all, they said. The association said such work 'perpetuated stereotypes' about dwarves. What, such as they tend to be, y'know, a bit on the smallish side? AFGHAN FIASCO DODGY THAT government super injunction is a huge scandal. We shouldn't have super injunctions at all. And the very last people who should use them are our elected politicians. I don't believe for a minute that the injunction was taken out to protect the lives of those Afghans. It was done because the last government knew that we, the public, would go absolutely doolally if we discovered they were letting thousands of Afghans into the country. And is it REALLY the case that we were helped by that many locals? Sheesh, it's enough manpower to win a war. How did we lose? GREAT British Bake Of f winner Nadiya Hussain has been moaning about her show being axed by the BBC. 7 They just drop you when they've had enough of you, she wailed. Yup, that's right. That's how it's been in TV for the last 80 years. And how it will be for the next 80. It's not because you are a woman, or a Muslim, or Bangladeshi. It's just because we've all had enough of you, OK? TIME TO LAWYER UP , JOHN 7 SO not only has Gregg Wallace been given the heave-ho. It's also curtains for his MasterChef Aussie co-host John Torode. According to a report – which was never intended to be about him specifically – he made a nasty racial comment. Torode denies having said anything racist at all. It doesn't seem to me as if the presenter has been treated entirely fairly in all of this. A report claims he said something a bit naughty – and he's out of a job. I think maybe John should consult his lawyers. Meanwhile Wallace lost my sympathy when he tried to blame things like wearing a sock on his old fella as being caused by autism. Female Asians in wheelchairs is my bet. TRANS SENSE 7 HUGE congratulations to Scottish nurse Sandie Peggie. She was suspended by the morons at NHS Fife for complaining about a transgender nurse using the female changing room. She was charged with gross misconduct, would you believe. Now the health authority has backed down and dropped all charges against Sandie. Slowly, a sense of reality is returning to this country. On this issue at least. SMALL MINDED THE Government is busy drawing up plans to stop us saying stuff. It is working on a definition of the word 'Islamophobia', so that people who say something derogatory about Islam can be banged up. This might well include linking the religion to terrorist attacks. Which is interesting, because when the jihadi nutters detonate a bomb or stab some poor innocent civilian and shout 'Allahu Akbar!' they're making the link themselves, aren't they? Like it or not, there is a pretty big link, isn't there? And you don't break that link by restricting freedom of speech.

Schoolgirl, 12, ‘punished' for wearing Union flag dress
A 12-year-old girl was put into isolation for wearing a union flag dress to her school's culture day, her father has said. 'Straight A' student Courtney Wright wore the Spice Girls-esque dress and wrote a piece about British history and traditions as part of the celebrations on Friday. She was later told the dress was 'unacceptable', and was hauled out of lessons and made to sit in reception until her father collected her. Her father Stuart Field, 47, said he was surprised to learn she had been segregated from her peers due to her choice of attire at Bilton School in Rugby, Warks. Mr Field, who works in marine restoration, said: 'Courtney was so embarrassed and couldn't understand what she'd done wrong. 'She should not be made to feel embarrassed about being British. 'And she shouldn't be punished for celebrating being British - nobody else I've spoken to can quite get their heads around it. 'Somebody at the school has politicised a Union Jack dress even though that was clearly not Courtney's intent. Courtney didn't do anything to be political. 'It's about being British, the Spice Girls and even the freedom at being able to wear a dress. This is just what being British means to her.' In a permission letter sent to parents, it said the day was 'designed to promote inclusion, understanding, and appreciation of different backgrounds, traditions and heritages'. But Mr Field said the school's actions went against the message and other pupils with St George's flags and Welsh flags were also turned away from the school gates. He added: 'It's the school who have made it political and it went against everything the event was being held for. 'All the kids there are British in my eyes, I like to think I'm a tolerant person but this was just not right. 'I wanted an answer as to why they thought this was acceptable - and nobody could give me a straight answer, I wanted to know how they had justified it. 'I spoke to her head of year, and he said he wasn't the best person to talk to about it, so I can only assume he didn't really agree with it either. 'It obviously came from above him but I don't know for sure who made the decision.' A spokesman for Stowe Valley Trust said: 'At Bilton School, we are proud of the diversity of our students and the rich heritage they bring to our community. We are committed to fostering an environment where every pupil feels respected, valued, and included. 'On Friday 11th July, an incident occurred during our Culture Celebration Day that caused considerable upset to one of our pupils, her family, and members of the wider community. 'We deeply regret the distress this has caused and offer our sincere and unreserved apologies. 'We have since spoken directly with the pupil and her family to listen to their concerns and reflect on how this could have been handled better. 'We are committed to learning from this experience and ensuring that every student feels recognised and supported when expressing pride in their heritage. 'As a school, we are reviewing our policies and strengthening staff training to ensure our practices reflect our values of inclusion, respect, and understanding for all.'

We let homeless friend live in our flat for £30 a week – when he finally left we were shocked at what he'd done
A TENANT from hell left his home waist-deep in rubbish including 3,000 beer cans. He was a friend in need let the two-bedroom flat by Chris and Sandra Considine in 2018. 3 3 But he blocked access, refused to leave and paid rent only once in seven years, the couple say. When he eventually fled the property in Nuneaton, Warks, they were greeted by scenes of utter squalor. Stomach-churning photos show thousands of lager cans strewn across the floors of almost every room — with dozens more stacked up on the window sills and shelves. Former DPD worker Chris, 70, said: 'We just couldn't believe it.' And grand-of-three Sandra, 58, called the smell 'horrendous'. She added: 'The rubbish was waist-high when he left in January — it was shocking.' The kind-hearted couple agreed to help the pal, who was about to be made homeless. They moved him into the flat, which they originally bought for daughter Rose, and asked for only £30 a week to cover the service charge and ground rent. Sandra said: 'We were trying to be kind but in the end we just feel utterly exploited.' Rose, 25, has set up a GoFundMe page to help her parents pay for professional cleaners. 3
