UK: Parents who complain about 30-year-old Muslim migrant posing as 15-year-old in high school dismissed as racist

Nov 24, 2018 3:22 pm By Robert Spencer

Britain’s collapse and imminent death as a free society will be at the hands of those who were above all things, concerned not to appear “racist” and “Islamophobic.”

“Parents were ‘dismissed as racist’ by school officials when they complained about 6ft 1ins Iranian migrant posing as a 15-year-old who appeared in their children’s classroom,” by Guy Adams, Daily Mail, November 23, 2018:

A couple of weeks after the start of this term, pupils at Stoke High School in Ipswich were told that a new boy was joining their GCSE class.

His name was Siavash, and he had quite a life story: Born in Iran, the teenager had been forced to flee the Middle Eastern theocracy in mysterious circumstances, and had since managed to cross Europe, with only a younger brother for company.

Having arrived in the UK – it’s not clear how – the duo promptly claimed asylum, declaring themselves to be 15 and 12 years old respectively.

Around the same time, they appear to have come to the attention of a refugee charity, which helped to house them in Suffolk, where there is a small but well-established Iranian immigrant community.

Like any unaccompanied child refugees, the boys were informed that, should they remain in full-time education, they’d be looked after by the local authority until reaching the age of 25.

Should they gain sufficient qualifications, the taxpayer would even be required to foot the bill for them to attend university.

Siavash could speak only broken English, but by all accounts he threw himself into school life, turning up at the start of each day with smartly brushed hair and a spotless blazer, tie and V-neck sweater.

In class, he worked diligently and talked politely to teachers. Unlike many a teenager, the bespectacled youngster even managed to tuck his shirt in.

There was, however, a problem.

Namely: Large numbers of the 668 girls and boys at Stoke High, an under-performing academy in a gritty neighbourhood of Ipswich just south of the city centre, came rapidly to the conclusion that the supposed new boy was not actually a boy at all, but very much a fully-grown man.

At 6ft 1in, he stood head and shoulders over many classmates, while his chin was flecked with stubble.

He also boasted a protruding Adam’s apple and a hairline that, from a certain angle, was starting to recede. In the cold light of day, many suspected he was nearer 30 than 20.

‘As soon as he started at the school, we all thought he looked far too old,’ a girl in Siavash’s year later recalled.

‘You could see the shadow of his beard on his face. He was wearing glasses, but they did not look prescription. It was almost as if he had them to make himself look younger. Everyone was making jokes as we went into registration saying, “What is a man doing in our school?”’

It didn’t take long for the rumour mill to creak into action, as students began to speculate that the Iranian asylum seeker was brazenly lying about his age in order to get a free education, and indeed remain in the country.

According to playground gossip, Siavash even confided to one contemporary that he was a married father of two who had decided to pose as a teenager because his academic qualifications weren’t recognised in the UK.

The parent of a GCSE pupil was told the Iranian had confessed to being in his mid-20s. ‘My son asked him how old he was and he replied that he was aged 25 and married with two kids,’ she told the Daily Mail.

This being 2018, the rumours soon hit social media. Around the time of half term, an image of Siavash in a Year 11 classroom appeared on Snapchat, a networking app popular with teenagers, accompanied by the caption ‘How is there a 30-year-old man in our maths class?’

Around the same time, parents began asking awkward questions, taking an understandably dim view of the potential presence of a grown man being educated alongside their children.

‘So my son’s school now let’s [sic] in 30-year-old men,’ wrote a woman calling herself Hollie Dayinn on Facebook. ‘That’s some huge security breach. Apparently, he sits on a bench at break times close to where a group of girls hang out, just looking.’

Desmond Newby, a 51-year-old father of two Stoke High pupils, was one of several reported to have removed their children from the school. ‘In one of the pictures I’ve seen of him, he has more of a beard than I do. I don’t want my kids there any longer until he is out.’

A third parent observed: ‘It’s not a nice thought that this man is around children and sitting with them at lunch.’

Eventually, the school passed on concerns about his age to the Home Office. On November 2, the day Siavash was due to sit a mock maths exam, it emerged that both he and his younger brother had been pulled out of Stoke High pending a full investigation.

The case immediately began to make headlines, with parents and politicians quick to raise concerns that the safety of potentially impressionable children had been seriously compromised.

‘He started FaceTiming my friend [using an online video link], sending her messages, asking how close she lived to the school,’ said one GCSE student.

‘She was a bit concerned because he seemed so old. He kept messaging her during the night, and in the morning he texted her saying, “Hello, how are you?” She told the maths teacher and was taken to the safeguarding teacher who looked at the messages and said there was nothing sinister about them.’

Serious questions were also raised about the school’s handling of the case, amid claims that complaints about Siavash had been blithely dismissed by staff, who in some cases had claimed the objections were motivated by racism.

‘I went in [to] complain but I was fobbed off. They are deluded and seem more worried about how the bloke might feel,’ said a father of two girls from Stoke High. ‘I am not aware of this lad having done anything inappropriate, but it’s clearly wrong that he should be in a class with children.’…

      “Like any unaccompanied child refugees, the boys were informed that, should they remain in full-time education, they’d be looked after by the local authority until reaching the age of 25”
      What gets me is while our own young people cannot attend university because of the crippling debts incurred, ‘refugees’ get free everything up to the age of 25, by which time he will at least 35! No doubt with all his family in UK and at least 4 kids, also receiving free everything
      First of all enters country illegally
      Second Misrepresents himself as a minor. Any white person who did this would be in jail very quickly.

    I wonder if these cowardly, groveling, image-obsessed “school officials” would be so inclined to scream “racist” if THEIR teenage daughters were “face-timed” by a 6-foot 25-year-old married Muslim “schoolmate” with a eye for attractive young “infidel” girls? Of course, his attitude is normal for a Muslim male: If the kuffar might make things difficult for you if they knew the truth, just lie.

      What career? Everyone knows that she was over-promoted from day 1 and has messed up at every turn both as Home Secretary and as PM. She’s only in no.10 now because of her gender and the fact that the other self-serving nonenties were stabbing each other in the back. May’s chickens are coming home to roost with the scandal of Wild West London and all the islam-linked debacles and no one is accepting her atrocious Brexit failure. Her career is about to hit the buffers, and not brfore time.

    We must eradicate this “Islam is a race” nonsense. It is used ad-nauseam by the pro muslim, communistic globalists that have infiltrated the establishment of many Western club to advance their world order.
    Also Muslims need to get a grip. They are only where they are due to the Globalist leftists mentioned above. Muslims are the real “useful idiots” and will be wiped out when surplus to requirements.

    He’s gaming the system, putting children at risk and the people who could do something about it, call those who have noticed, names. Whip out the worn-out term, “racist” and then all is well and the offender/liar can go on with his plans.

    This situation is so farcical that it belongs in the script of one of those 1950’s slapstick ‘Carry On’ comedy films. The UK establishment has now reduced itself to a joke and they’re so stupid they can’t see it. Time to give up.

    UK: Parents who complain about 30-year-old Muslim migrant posing as 15-year-old in high school dismissed as racist
    …………….

    This is insanity. Is the state still taking care of this “child”? If he really just wanted an education there is community college and adult education.

    That he is now stalking some of the under-aged girls in school is especially troubling.

    Here’s a picture of him dressed as a “schoolboy” and with a beard:

      Now that the whistle’s been blown on this case and the authorities have had custard pies thrown all over their ridiculous faces, they’re now becoming self-righteously indignant about this character and threatening to throw him out of the country! Anyone care to bet on tnat actually happening? And apparently there are now other cases out in th open with parents taking their daughters out of schools. I haven’t noticed the Race Card being played against them – yet!

    TBH, I’m not surprised. There have been cases where victims, and their parents, of islamic grooming gangs reported to the police only to be told, some times to their face, others in a more implied fashion, that they were being “racist”. Remember that viral newspaper photo of a man in his 50’s where the article described him as an “unaccompanied child”? And how government officials build barriers to block the view of the incoming “refugees” and “unaccompanied children” from Calais once photos of them surfaced and they were children in name only? Sooner or later someone would be called “racist” for pointing out that those weren’t actually children but fully grown, military-aged, men…

    • Leon Degney says

      Nov 29, 2018 at 11:09 pm

      You forgot France, Spain and Portugal. They have also done their fair share of invading. However; what the current invasion of immigrants is doing is basically destroying the peace and safety of these countries and bringing them down to the lowest common denominator. Eventually, if it’s allowed to continue, they will become non-productive and in constant turmoil as are, most of the places these migrants are coming from. Where to then? Look at South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Lybia, Syria, Yemen just to mane a few. Even if the populations are 100% Muslim they kill each other over their differing beliefs even of their own ideology. I certainly don’t want to see that for my grandchildren’s sake. do you?
