To think that Tory town councillor John Cherry is stirring up race hatred in Stedham.

According to the Mail on Sunday John Cherry tells the headmaster of Durand school in Stockwell "we don't want your inner-city pupils here". I hope Cameron kicks him out.

Well I don't know if he's stirring up race hatred, because I don't know if anyone will take him seriously enough to listen to him.

He certainly sounds like an out and out racist though.

Referring to taking the pupils out of their "natural surroundings" and making the nearby forest a "sexual volcano". Eh? WTF?

[LineRunner]

There is some really racist language in that article, attributed to opponents of the school. If you don't want to click on the Mail (who would?), I think it's fair to say that it is pretty bad.

What the Jeff is a 'sexual volcano'? It sounds amazing. I want one.

I had one of them once.

It was great.

If they are Chinese/Indian they will rise to the top if they are from Parkistan they won't are they going to dunk these coloured people to test them out

Fuck me i wanted to laugh at first . I really thought we had moved on from this kind of terrible racism. What do they think Brixton is like

I shall not bother reading the comments I can guess what they say

[BasilBabyEater]

And then they pretend that they believe everyone starts with a blank slate on the same playing field (to mix the metaphors)

He's a real throw-back isn't he?

It's funny how people like this can on the one hand accept that there are statistical trends about achievement etc., so completely that they simply condemn individual pupils as being bound to do xy or z because they belong to a group that statistically does that, and on the other hand be so lacking in curiosity about the reasons for those trends, that they are happy to put individual results down to individual choices, while denying the context in which the choices are made.

They are completely incoherent. Mind you, I think I might be by now, I think it might be the memory of the sexual volcano.

John Cherry is a racist idiot.

[pointythings]

The Tory Party really needs to clamp down on people like him if they want to dig their image out of the sewer. He belongs in the BNP, really.

[TheHerringScreams]

What the hell? He'd better quit sharpish or get sacked! If he doesn't, just
