Crazy!

It get's worse. A teenage schoolgirl, Codie Stott, from Greater Manchester was arrested by police for racism after refusing to sit with a group of Asian students because some of them did not speak English. Apparently, she said she had not been in school the day before due to a hospital appointment and had missed the start of a project, so the teacher allocated her a group to sit with.

"She said I had to sit there with five Asian pupils," said Codie yesterday. "Only one could speak English, so she had to tell that one what to do so she could explain in their language. Then she sat me with them and said 'Discuss'." According to Codie, the five - four boys and a girl - then began talking in a language she didn't understand, thought to be Urdu, so she went to speak to the teacher. "I said 'I'm not being funny, but can I change groups because I can't understand them?' But she started shouting and screaming, saying 'It's racist, you're going to get done by the police'." And it seems she was. Political correctness gone mad!!

My attention goes to the point in the Daily Mail's story that "A complaint was made to a police officer based full-time at the school". FULL-TIME?? What's going on? Blair's Britain. Don't you just love it!

A bit of an extreme case I feel. Clearly the teacher hadn't had enough coffee that morning and went temporarily insane or something. I'm sure this will be seen by the police as the waste of time case that it is, but they are forced to take it seriously to begin with just like if you said you had a machine gun in a violin case at an airport.

As for the Daily Mail, well I'd be careful believing anything in that piece of garbage. Daily Fear would be a more appropriate title. Cut out your protest tokens... watch out for bird flu... the Poles are invading our country by stealth. It's been predicting a house price crash since at least September 2002! I wouldn't wrap my chips up with it!
