"Still, old chap, if Teribus says summat it automatically has to be wrong in Steve Shaw's circumscribed little "right on", Socialist Worker, left-wing Liberal world, doesn't it?"

Not biting prat, if you want to know precisely what Keith meant then ask him, not me.

It was you that mentioned Muslim female pupils being taunted about wearing veils as being a possible factor - so it is up to you to substantiate it.

If my "world is Islamophobic" then I have a very weird and rather unusual CV to demonstrate it. While you have been "beavering" away in your East London Secondary School during my working career I have lived and worked in the following Islamic countries:

- Malaysia
- Brunei
- Indonesia
- United Arab Emirates
- Iran
- Oman
- Kuwait
- Saudi Arabia

I have done so without the slightest problem - bit hard for someone who is Islamophobic wouldn't you think?
