When I saw the scandalous story of an apparent adult Iranian man of about thirty years old occupying a seat in a secondary school classroom in Ipswich my first thought was to be horrified at how safeguarding could be so completely abandoned. The Iranian man was seen in social media images taken in a classroom at Stoke High School in Ipswich and does not look to me like he was his claimed age of 15. This shocking story has also been picked up by the national Press such as the Daily Telegraph.
The Telegraph said:
A child migrant row has erupted over claims a “30-year-old man” is being taught in a secondary school alongside children.
Photographs which claim to be of the pupil with facial stubble have been posted on social media, prompting some parents to threaten to remove their children from the Suffolk school unless his “real” age is established.
The Year 11 pupil, said to be 15 and originally from Iran, started at Stoke High School, Ipswich, in September having arrived in the UK unaccompanied earlier this year. A school pupil posted a picture on Snapchat of his new GCSE classmate asking: “How’s there a 30-year-old man in our maths class?”
After parents expressed concern that an adult could be mixing with the academy’s 680-pupils the school contacted the Home Office. A Home Office source said it was investigating the claims.
I completely understand and stand with those parents who are threatening to withdraw their children from the school until this perceived adult is removed from the school. I’d be extremely concerned if I had a child, especially if I had a daughter, and an adult male from a culture that routinely treats women like dirt, had been dumped in their classroom. The man himself may not be an immediate danger, but to allow him to remain as a pupil of this school does make a mockery of safeguarding procedures. The placement of obviously adult men in school classrooms with teenagers does expose the rest of the school’s pupils to an increased risk of harm and exploitation if not from him but from others like him. It is partially for the protection of children why we separate adult education from education given to children in a school setting. I’m really disturbed that this apparent adult, pictured below, is not only sitting in a school classroom but could also be mixing with vulnerable teenagers in the school playground or in physical education lessons.
As well as being disgusted to see Stoke High School so readily abandon safeguarding in order to accommodate yet another fake ‘child migrant’, I’m also appalled at what Ambush Predator has termed ‘the pass the parcel of blame’ that has appeared now that this story has gone viral.
Ambush Predator said:
But now their incompetence has been rumbled, let the ‘Pass The Parcel Of Blame’ game commence!
A statement from Stoke High School spokesman said: ‘This is a matter for the Home Office. They are looking into this after we contacted them.
‘The student is not attending the school at this time.
‘We do not comment on individual cases but we have followed government and local authority policies and guidance, as we do for any asylum admissions matter.’
I completely agree there that the school and the local authority should have relied less on guidance and much more on the evidence of their own eyes. It’s obvious to anyone with half a brain or more that this man is not 15. At the youngest he would be 20 but that is still not an acceptable age to sit in a classroom with 15 year olds. I’ve little doubt that unless the justifiable fuss had been made then the Home Office, the local authority and the school may have just bought into the obvious lie that this man was 15 and done nothing and said nothing about it. It is only because this idiocy has been rumbled that anything has been done to remove this man from the classroom. I wonder how many other adult men are sharing classrooms with our children and who are there because those who could have said ‘no’ to his entry to a school were too cowardly and too fond of ‘following orders’ to keep them out?
My second set of thoughts following on from disgust that this man had been placed in a school classroom and the outrageous incompetence of the school, the local authority and the Home Office, was to wonder how this man came into the UK in the first place? More particularly who or what brought him in? Was it one of the various left wing ‘refugees welcome’ groups, or naive Quakers or one of the various religious groups that have been captured and exploited by the Left who facilitated this man’s entry to the UK? Did he have assistance from groups like Citizens UK who have spared no expense and no effort to convince the UK government that the army of bearded military age Muslim men traversing the continent of Europe were really children? Citizens UK has a lot of form in this area as you would see by reading the links contained in my various articles on Citizens UK. It would certainly not surprise me to find out that this man was helped into the UK by this wealthy and very well connected group, a group that is both notably favourable to Islam and is very much a support of open borders.
Someone let this man into the country or facilitated his entry and my money would be on a group like Citizens UK or one of their front groups such as Safe Passage, or other groups inspired by or aligned with Citizens UK. After all it is these groups that have been shouting most loudly and untruthfully about ‘the poor oppressed children’. It would indeed be very interesting to know the path that this Iranian man took to get to the UK and which groups have assisted him because I doubt that he got here completely under his own steam nor worked out that the way to get the supine British state to let him stay was to pretend to be a child.
Sooner or later, sadly probably sooner rather than later, one of the migrants brought to the UK by various ‘open borders’ groups and placed in our schools are going to cause a tragedy. We could end up with these fake children sexually abusing our kids and even using their privileged access to school premises to commit a Beslan-style terror attack. If or rather when that happens, those involved with these open borders and ‘refugees welcome’ groups will have the blood of the innocent victims on their hands.
The presence of an adult man, especially one from a challenging and troubling cultural background, in a school classroom should send shivers up the spines of British parents. I hope that this and other similar incidents galvanise British parents to keep a much closer eye on what is going on in their children’s schools than they seem to be doing at present. We should also no longer tolerate the ‘we know best’ attitude when it comes to the issue of these mostly fake refugees such as that shown by the Home Office, the school and the local authority who allowed this guy to be dumped on a school and just hoped for the best and then when found out hid behind ‘procedure’ and ‘guidance’. ‘Procedure’ and ‘guidance’ is not enough, we deserve to have our children protected from the fake children that are apparently being imported in such massive numbers that it is starting to be noticed.
This was an appalling fail by both the school and the local authority but sadly I feel that this is not the only case of its nature and there may be many more adult Muslim males sitting in our school classrooms and presenting an elevated risk of harm to our children.
