Abrahamic religions teach that if a child becomes uncontrollably disobedient, the town should drag him or her outside the walls and stone him or her to death. Does it really surprise any of you that those who hang on to the old fundamentalist values, particularly with parental consent, would cane the bottom of a student’s feet?

I think the freethinker solution would be that the father be sat on his self righteous ass and have the soles of his feet caned until he cannot walk. Who knows. It may bring back flashes of his childhood, ahhh, the good old days.

Nothing wrong with us long haired scruffies…

Far more likely to be against authority figures (corrupt or otherwise) and almost certainly never to be seen in church!

Its amazing how people trust someone if he has a fancy, uncomfortable collar, or special type of dress & pointy hat, or job label.
When I meet one of these types I automatically distrust them. I’d trust a scruffy biker before a priest. Ya I know I’m lumping all under the same label. But then again how many bikers have been accused of child abuse and how many holey men?

At least he went to prison. If that had been Cherie Blair he would have been let off because “he didn’t know it was wrong”(?).

The Spanish drove out Islam before. Hopefully they do it again and show us how it is done.

“had previously been cautioned in 2005″
“he had not realised the beating was wrong”

Did the judge not recognise the contradiction here?

Of course he knew it was wrong. He also appears to have had more than enough time to learn the language!

Call me cynical, but in all likelihood that Urdu interpreter was probably just to further the impression of it being about a cultural difference. He didn’t speak the lingo and so didn’t understand that such behaviour is unacceptable.

The phrase ‘told Hussain through an Urdu interpreter’ sums up much of the problem. Ability to pass a fairly challenging English language test might do something to reduce the number of clowns from the back of beyond wielding far too much power over British kids.

No surprises here.
Any job that gives access to children will attract paedos.
