Keep an eye on this one. It’ll go nowhere, of course, but take note of who talks about it and who doesn’t.

It raises too many awkward questions, I reckon. So let’s raise those questions. Why would teachers or anyone else be inflamed by a visit from a Jewish MP who seldom speaks about the Middle East and speaks in achingly moderate terms when he does? And if they were inflamed, why could they not recognise that a job often comes with unwanted duties, and put on a professional face? Who exactly was involved in this anti-democratic conspiracy and were they representatives of any bodies or organisations? What does the local authority and central government intend to do about this? And if they are not prepared to confront and eliminate this problem, does it follow that others with different political views may do the same? https://archive.ph/3aFH4
