The Headmistress Writes.
The Headmistress Writes.
Issue 1469.
Good afternoon,
Or, if you are Ms Rudd, Goodbye. I was very sorry to receive her letter of resignation, which I wrote and gave to her on Sunday night. Sad as it was to lose a valued member of the staffroom, it is a measure of the quality of my team that they are prepared to do the decent thing, eventually, and take responsibility when something goes wrong. Ms Rudd’s resignation came as something of a surprise to her, as apparently did everything else that was going on in her department.
In short, a number of our Caribbean pupils may well have experienced some minor difficulties, such as: being expelled for doing nothing wrong, being refused treatment in the Sanatorium or being refused entry back into the school after holidays with their parents, so it’s only right and proper that someone should take the blame.
I hold my hand up and say I was Head of Discipline during the time that pupils in Windrush House were frogmarched to the school gates and put on a bus marked “Go Home”, but this was entirely the fault of the Headteacher, Mr Cameron.
Now that I am Headteacher, I have introduced a new and improved system whereby the problems with the Windrush pupils are entirely the fault of the former Head of Discipline, Ms Amber Rudd. Ms Rudd has apologised a number of times (though we don’t have a precise record of how many times that is, as some documents in the Headmistress’s office have been shredded). I too have apologised – for appointing Ms Rudd, and have decided to send Ms Rudd home, back to where she came from! We were going to have a leaving party for Ms Rudd, to be held in a local brewery. Sadly, this has had to be cancelled, due to the fact that we couldn’t organise it…

When needs must, Tories will get in bed with all sorts and turn a blind eye to racism and racists.

The Muslim council of Britain have been trying for 2 years to get the Tories to launch an inquiry into Islamophobia in the Tory party. But they have refused. Labour need to call for a debate in parliament on racism in the Tory party.
BBC silent as Muslim Council of Britain calls for “inquiry into Islamophobia within the Conservative party”

30th April 2018
Following an incredible admission made last week by the former Tory Minister, Baroness Warsi, that there are now “weekly occurrences of Islamophobic incidents“ within her Party, the Muslim Council of Britain has demanded an urgent “inquiry into Islamophobia within the Conservative party”.
Despite running essentially wall-to-wall coverage on the recent anti-Semitism storm within the Labour Party over recent weeks, the BBC have so far refused to report on the current Islamophobia storm within the Conservative Party with anywhere near the same level of prominence.
Indeed, three Conservative Council Candidates have been suspended within the past few weeks alone for alleged anti-Muslim hate:
The MCB said at the time:
“Just as the Labour Party is rightly conducting an inquiry into antisemitism, it is important for the Conservative Party to reflect upon the extent of Islamophobia in its own ranks. We should have zero tolerance for both antisemitism and Islamophobia”
Not only did the BBC fail to report on the MCB’s demand for an inquiry in 2016, the subsequent lack of pressure from the British media enabled the Tories to get away with ignoring the calls for an inquiry, with the MCB tellingVice News:
“There was no response to the MCB’s call for an inquiry into Islamophobia [in 2016] and there have been no meetings between the [Conservative] party and the MCB on this issue”
And now, following a ridiculous amount of Tory candidates, members and Councillors being suspended for anti-Muslim comments and abuse, as well as Baroness Warsi’s incredible admission last week that there are now “weekly occurrences of Islamophobic incidents“ within the Conservative Party, the MCB have reiterated their called for an urgent inquiry into Islamophobia within the party.
The MCB told Vice News:
“We would reiterate our call for an inquiry into Islamophobia within the Conservative party, especially given the statement that there are ‘weekly occurrences of Islamophobic incidents’ in the party”
However, in perfect correlation to the BBC’s lack of a reporting of the MCB’s demands in 2016, the Corporation have remained deathly silent on their latest calls for an inquiry into Tory party Islamophobia. This despite running wall-to-wall coverage on Labour’s struggle with anti-Semitism.
It is utterly incredible that, despite their clearly defined impartiality guidelines, the BBC can continually get away with this kind of blatant journalistic double standards.
All forms of racism need to be stamped out, and the only way we will be able to achieve this is by treating all forms of hatred with equal disgust and equal prominence – by calling it out wherever it occurs and by whoever it is perpetrated by.
The BBC’s disgraceful failure to uphold their own guidelines by refusing to report the demands of the Muslim Council of Britain with anywhere near the same level of prominence as Labour’s recent anti-Semitism storm clearly shows just how low the Corporation has sunk – not just in terms of political impartiality, but also morally in the fight against all forms of hatred and discrimination".
Says it all about the state controlled BBC as they cover for the Tories.

Despite running essentially wall-to-wall coverage on the recent anti-Semitism storm within the Labour Party over recent weeks, the BBC have so far refused to report on the current Islamophobia storm within the Conservative Party with anywhere near the same level of prominence.
Indeed, three Conservative Council Candidates have been suspended within the past few weeks alone for alleged anti-Muslim hate:
- Darren Harrison, the Conservative Council Candidate for Watford, was suspended from the party on April 21st for reportedly supporting the neo-Naziorganisation, Generation Identity – anactively anti-Muslim hate group. The BBC did not report this story.
- A Conservative Council Candidate in Hackney, Alexander van Terheyden, was suspended for “anti-Muslim posts on social media” on April 17th. Terheyden – who openly labels himself ‘anti-Islam’ – is also reported to have attended a rally headed by the far-right former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson, and made comments that the Crusades were “simply a response to Islam spreading through Europe by the sword“. The BBC did not report this story.
- Conservative Councillor Mike Payne was suspended from the party for sharing an article labeling Muslims as ‘parasites’ who ‘live off the state and breed like rabbits’. Payne made the comments the day after visiting a mosque with high-profile Conservative MP James Cleverly. The BBC only partially reported the story – conveniently missing out any mentions of Payne’s recent support from Mr Cleverly.
The MCB said at the time:
“Just as the Labour Party is rightly conducting an inquiry into antisemitism, it is important for the Conservative Party to reflect upon the extent of Islamophobia in its own ranks. We should have zero tolerance for both antisemitism and Islamophobia”

Poverty
A million more UK children in poverty than in 2010 – study
About 3.1 million children of working parents now below breadline after government’s benefit cuts, according to TUC

The number of children growing up in poverty in working households will be a million higher than in 2010, a new study has found.
Research for the TUC estimates that 3.1 million children with working parents will be below the official breadline this year.
About 600,000 children with working parents have been pushed into poverty because of the government’s benefit cuts and public sector pay restrictions, according to the report by the consultancy Landman Economics. The east Midlands will have the biggest increase in child poverty among working families, followed by the West Midlands and Northern Ireland, the research found.
Frances O’Grady, the TUC general secretary, said child poverty in working households had shot up since 2010. “Years of falling incomes and benefit cuts have had a terrible human cost. Millions of parents are struggling to feed and clothe their kids,” she said.
“The government is in denial about how many working families just can’t make ends meet. We need ministers to boost the minimum wage now, and use the social security system to make sure no child grows up in a family struggling to get by.”
The report was published as a march is planned in London this Saturday calling for a new deal for workers.
The report said a household was considered to be in relative poverty if its income was less than 60% of median income after housing costs.
A government spokeswoman said it did not recognise the TUC’s figures. She said: “The reality is there are now 1 million fewer people living in absolute poverty compared with 2010, including 300,000 fewer children.
“We want every child to get the very best chances in life. We know the best route out of poverty is through work, which is why it’s really encouraging that both the employment rate and household incomes have never been higher.”
