The blind spot Baldét and other pro-Prevent propagandists have, is they don't seem to have a clue why Palestinians might find it wholly offensive to be in such a presentation.
Why is "vocal support for Palestine" even relevant to be in such a presentation?
Universities have been accused of undermining freedom of speech on campus after cancelling events organised by students as part of an annual pro-Palestinian event called Israel Apartheid Week (IAW). theguardian.com/world/2017/feb…
It is not clear if @WillBaldet is just mistaken or is intentionally misleading his followers, because the presentation did not originally have text at the bottom of the slide as he states. This was added later. He should retract his tweet.
On the day the "think tank" he is Director of Policy is at (Quilliam), has its report on gang-related CSE (used by the far right) so clearly debunked *again*, you'd have thought he might have some humility.
After Julie Burchill's Islamophobia towards @AyoCaesar, she appears to have lost her book contract
It appears her publisher realised the risk to its reputation to be associated with her racism & that Burchill may cross the line again during book promotion m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…
Some context on what Julie Burchill said to Ash Sarkar
The Home Office review on "grooming gangs" finally published concludes:
1. “links between ethnicity and this form of offending” could not be proven 2. “Research has found that group-based child sexual exploitation (CSE) offenders are most commonly white" independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…
“Some studies suggest an over-representation of black and Asian offenders relative to the demographics of national populations. However, it is not possible to conclude that this is representative of all group-based CSE offending.”
The document said there were issues with the data used in existing studies, sample selection and a “potential for bias and inaccuracies”
Assume this is referring to studies like the Quilliam report that was widely debunked by experts at the time, yet was cited in national papers
It is important to realise that Julie Burchill has a documented history of hate of Muslims & Islam, which is well known, yet has no bearing on her being a columnist at The Telegraph.
3. More importantly, why is she defending Liddle's disgusting article, where he “could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" (under-age and against the law -> would be considered rape)?
The reality is that columnists like Burchill make a conscious choice:
A) Attack Muslims like Ash
B) Defend people like Rod Liddle despite his long history of awful, racist & misogynist & hateful articles
