  3. I think even the coalition government would think that legislating in respect of Pakistani local government would be a step too far for its foreign policy.

  4. My guess is structured home educators. And being taught by educated women! Even greater case for autonomous education by what Mr Webb calls the uneducated. You could never have kept the kids silent in the compound or in the compound at all if they were self directed learners. I rest my case....:-)

  7. nasty anon says-Peter has never heard of 7/7 it seems.

    the leader of 7/7 was a class room helper in a school and was know to MI5. He used to teach/help very young children i wonder what he said to some of them when no other teacher could hear?
    are you suggesting we search all houses in Leeds/Bradford to find out if some one one is going to attack us?

    Peter knows a fair bit about this case and the 9/11 attacks. At the moment Peter reading a book about Bin Larden very intersting it is to ask a question about him and we answer it LOL i do enjoy our chats!

  16. You're very offensive Peter, do you think that it's clever to make light of the 7/7 terror attack?

    ReplyDelete
  17. i was asking a simple question is anon defending the ring leader of the 7/7 attacks? yes or no will do?

    Khan was the Ring leader and a teaching assistance in his video message Khan said he was a "soldier at war"

    It was nasty anon who brought up 7/7 first asking if Peter had heard of it

    In June 2006 computer expert Martin Gilbertson claimed he had warned West Yorkshire police about the extremist views of Khan and Tanweer when he worked at an Islamic bookshop in Beeston

    its something we have both looked into in great detail and hope and pray that this never happens again.

  26. Only 70% of Pakistani kids finish primary school.
    40% or so go on to Secondary level and 50% of all adults are illiterate. There are still some regions in Pakistan which are controlled by the Taliban where girls are banned from attending educational establishments.

    yes and that is why the UK government gives a large amount of aid to Pakistan to try and help these children.David Cameron has pledged a record amount of aid for this year in an attempt to really change outcomes for these children.

    Education is the least of their worries.

  29. We give far more aid to Pakistan than any other Eurpoean country this year we are giving 446 million and the Pakistan government will use some of this aid to help girls who are stoped from going to school.
