Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Elementary school cafeteria worker suspended for attending UK Against Hate anti-terror rally

Jul 8, 2017 11:32 am By Robert Spencer

This is how the May government, and the British establishment in general, quells resistance to jihad terror and the Islamization of Britain: by persecuting everyone who dares to step out of line and show any sign of resisting. The establishment media plays its part as well, smearing Tommy Robinson as a “far right extremist” (which essentially means, at this point, an opponent of jihad and Sharia) and acting as if it was indeed a heinous matter that poor Rachel Booth actually attended a rally against jihad terror.

“Preston dinner lady suspended after attending march organised by ex EDL leader,” by Mark White, Lancashire Post, July 7, 2017:

Thousands of people have signed a petition in support of a dinner lady who was suspended for going on a march organised by the ex English Defence League leader.

More than 20,000 people put their name to far right extremist Tommy Robinson’s petition after Moor Nook Primary School suspended mum of five Rachel Booth after footage emerged of her attending a UK Against Hate rally in Manchester.

The 27-year-old received a letter from her employer barring her from visiting or contacting anyone from the school pending an investigation.

The mum, who has three children at Moor Nook, thought this meant she could not pick them from school, a point the headteacher has since clarified.

The march was held on June 11 in the wake of the Manchester bomb attack and Rachel says she went as a “heartbroken” mother and not an EDL supporter.

“I’m nothing to do with the EDL, I just wanted to support the Lancashire families who lost children in the bombing.

“I’m not racist – my husband and his family are mixed race. I’m being treated worse than a paedophile because I’ve been told I can’t go anywhere near the school.”

The March Against Islamic Hate was organised by the founder and former EDL leader Tommy Robinson via the UK Against Hate Facebook page.

Mr Robinson has several criminal convictions including being convicted of common assault after headbutting a fellow EDL member at a rally in Blackburn in 2011.

Bottles, smoke canisters and beer cans were thrown as nearly 400 police officers made eight arrests for public order offences at the march which attracted hundreds of people.

And after visiting Rachel at her home in Moor Nook, Mr Robinson said: “I can’t believe it to be honest. It’s outrageous and unacceptable how the school have treated her.

“Rachel is just your average mum and it’s not right. The march was against hate and terrorism and included people from all different faiths and backgrounds. It was nothing to do with the EDL.”

Paul Jenkins, North West regional organiser for Unite Against Fascism, who at the march said: “I was there in June but in the opposition to Tommy’s march. There were racist chants, pigs’ heads held up and violence towards anti-racist groups. Tommy has a record of using terrorism incidents to push his islamophobic agenda.”

Mr Robinson has started a petition which has reached more than 20,000 signatures and the 34-year-old plans to hand it to the school’s headteacher Suzanne Clough….

    Pretty sure the suspension was suspended.

      “Freedom is the freedom to say two plus two equals four. If that is granted all else will follow.” – 1984, George Orwell.

      Suzanne Clough and her school board should be ashamed. They gave in to the censorship mob.

      Cowards are making it impossible to express any political opinion.

      I hope you are right, PRCS.

      Even if this is the case, her suspension will have a chilling effect on anyone who thinks about standing up against Islamic savagery.

      • Mark A says

        It will make some of us more resolute in standing up to petty tyrants like those involved in this case.

          Jul 9, 2017 at 1:06 am

          I agree, Mark.

          If it had not been for the petition (according to that link) the suspension would have not been subjected to widespread public outrage.

          I hope the school’s administrators are “called on the carpet” for that decision.

          And I do hope GI is wrong and that the general public has finally had enough of that “chilling effect” and is beginning to push back.

          I hope so too, PRCS.

      Suspension is partially lifted to enable her to pick her daughter up from schol and atend the annual sports day.

      It is disgusting that they are using the EDL as the reason but it wasn’t an EDL rally, ergo the suspension has NO legitimacy. Even if the suspension WAS warranted pending an investigation into the matter, what next… a dressing down/verbal warning because you’re not supporting the ‘right’ football team?

      We really are moving into dangerous times indeed, THE DEATH OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS THE DEATH OF CIVILISATION!

      • gravenimage says

        Jul 9, 2017 at 10:59 pm

        Has she been allowed to go back to work?

        • Christian InDeed says

          Jul 11, 2017 at 5:51 am

          Not as yet, still pending a ‘neutral inquiry’.

          IMO, she should try to sue the school’s danglies off for wrongful suspension, character defammation (being a member of a far right, violent group [EDL], of which she is not), + all the mental anguish that goes with it; providing it wouldn’t lead to her loss of employment. Some things are worth taking all the way; others, one has to judge on the individual merits.

    I have not followed UK politics closely.

    Can someone tell me just how many people have been blown up, stabbed, run over, beheaded, immolated, scalded, raped, skinned alive, drowned, shot, thrown out of windows, or otherwise attacked by EDL or Tommy Robinson?

    Still waiting.

    I thought so.

    • Jayell says

      Jul 8, 2017 at 2:58 pm

      Absolutely! But the point here is that Rachel Booth’s contract with the school probably simply specifies her hours of work, work practices, sanctions in respect of misconduct at work and criminal convictions which may have ramifications that might infer unsuitability for aspects of the job or in respect of child protection legislation. In no way can a local authority contract be held to restrict one’s civil rights to do as one wishes in one’s free time so long as the activities are legal and do not adversely affect one’s competence in the job. What seems to have happened here is an incorrect or even fraudulent politically-motivated misinterpretation of child protection clauses designed to prevent unsuitable or unsavoury individuals working with children, where a criminal offence against a child is considered possible. This would seem to be hardly the case with Rachel Booth.

      This is not the first time that a dinner assistant has been badly treated where islam has been involved. Another lady was sacked after she inadvertently gave a muslim child a baconburger and the child’s father (a very unpleasant character with criminal connections) reacted in an unbelievably grossly vindictive fashion and the school predictably caved in.

      The situation in Rachel Booth’s case appears even worse when one considers the number of muslims who have been and continue to be employed in responsible or sensitive jobs, where these muslims have connections with known dubious persons and outside organisations. By and large investigations are not carried out or remain unpublicised, and even if they are the muslims are not removed from their positions. The only exception to this in the public domain was the recent sacking of a security officer at Heathrow Airport who was related to one of the London Bridge terrorists, and this only after she had been in the position for some time and the sacking delayed for some time.

      It goes without saying that the Rachel Booth case is absolutely scandalous.

        This is how opposition is silenced. Threaten people with economic destruction and public humiliation for merely expressing an opinion that is not what the oligarchs want to hear. Or worse yet, exposing incompetence or possible threats to our safety.

        By the way, here in the US we have had too many people with questionable loyalties and motives placed into positions of trust with little if any vetting. Anyone that raises an alert or questions these placements usually ends up without a job.

    Here’s another case of sharia enforcement by the government. And this should serve as a warning to us here in America, it can happen here too. We’ve all seen how cowardly our political and religious leaders have been in the face of islamic oppression, Trump is certainly an exception. Their response has been nothing less than traitorous and grovelling for islam. These people have no self respect, nor do they respect the rights of others. These folks are fully dedicated to seeing the very best in islam while crushing every moral and legal argument we propose in opposition. Our fears about islam are justified. Muslim violence is not a baseless and rootless societal trend, it’s a continuation of 1400 years of muslim jihad. Their hatred of us is as deep and expansive as the muslim world itself. 9/11 and 30k acts of islamic-inspired terror are not mere hate crimes; it’s an organized attack by muslims who are fulfilling violent commands of an ancient ideology and culture. Stop making excuses, you traitorous bast*rds, and start seeing islam for what it truly is. It’s an ideology 14 centuries old that teaches and inspires all manner of crimes against humanity. It’s a threat to our people and every western nation that lives and loves democracy. And anyone that defends that is neither a friend or an asset to our nation or her people.

    Spencer, Geller, Wilders. They speak the truth on our behalf. If they are hated then I suggest it’s because they have the moral courage where others fail.

    The government of the UK knows full well that Muslims are their future, and are doing all they can to make Muslims feel welcome. May and the others know that Muslims are having babies at a rapid clip – aided by their 4 wives – and are going to replace the people who call themselves Christians, but aren’t.

    Headteacher Suzanne Clough is to be commended for her steadfast adherence to the principles of Ingsoc and her uncompromising persecution of Thoughtcrime. No doubt she is proud to be Big Sister Theresa May’s little sister.

    Take them for every penny they’ve got. If schools and councils suspended everyone who went on a Marxist socialist march they would have no staff left. And as of this moment we still have free speech in this country, so she shouldn’t have to say what colour her family are or say sorry for attending anything that is legal. So as I said take the school and the headmistress to court.

    “Rachel is just your average mum …”

    That’s the real message from UK Sharia police to the populace: the average person may not resist Islam. If you do, you could be destroyed. The elites and the Muslims, not the average person, constitute power in the UK.

    Ms May has the honor of taking credit for stifling Freedom of Speech, Expression,, creating an aura of paranoia and perceived perceived Persecution. She is also endangering the very citizenry she is sworn to protect through her dishonesty and disingenuousness invoking accusations of Islamophobia after murderous Islamic Jihadist attacks without cause. Ms May you must be getting coached by Chancellor Merkel. These Nazi like acts are illegal and contrary to British Law and tradition

    May is shameless of her support for Islam, the radicalized or the non-existent moderate faction. The latter are cheerleaders and fans of the mass-murdering Jihadist. Freedom of speech or thought is a no-no when it comes to the despotic May. Callowness for those in the nation choosing to remain vigilant, refusing to be duped by the propagandists, May, her colleagues, and other parties vying for the brass ring is unabashed in promoting Nazi-like methods to silence the masses.
    Continually accosted by Mays Gestapo-like tactics every day Infidels are at risk by their government, as well as Islamism. It is too late to take their nation back; it is under siege by the establishment and the Cult of Barbarity.

    The bottles etc were thrown at the marchers not by them.

    Hundreds of people? There were between 5-7,000 on that march. None of it reported by MSM. With the Justice for Chelsea marches in the NE and the football firm march in London this is the start of a big, masx upheaval.
