    The document said there were issues with the data used in existing studies, sample selection and a “potential for bias and inaccuracies” Assume this is referring to studies like the Quilliam report that was widely debunked by experts at the time, yet was cited in national papers

    “Some studies suggest an over-representation of black and Asian offenders relative to the demographics of national populations. However, it is not possible to conclude that this is representative of all group-based CSE offending.”

    Conservative London Mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey has sent out, what appears at first to be an official letter from City Hall threatening to raise the mayor’s share of council tax by 21%. Sadiq Khan has not threatened to raise the GLA precept by 21%.

    This is a heartless, cheap trick to play at a time so many Londoners are worried sick about making ends meet. , you should apologise immediately for the distress your act of desperation will cause. This is inappropriate behaviour from someone standing for Mayor.

    Last night a Telegraph columnist hurled islamophobic abuse at and the media were totally silent about it. That’s because they tolerate abuse when it’s directed towards Muslims. explains

    YouTube has a long way to go, to tackle the racist hate on its platform, including its inaction on the far right & Islamophobia: "despite YouTube’s claims to be taking hate speech seriously, Islamophobia is still alive and well on the platform"

    Appalled but not altogether surprised. Bigots such as Julie Burchill know there’s serious money to be made from spewing islamphobia, attacking Black Lives Matter, and often falsely positioning anti racism as being anti - white working class !

    Julie Burchill, who once I suppose was a well regarded journalist, has quite openly subjected me to Islamophobia on here. I'm a big girl - it's not going to upset me - but I do find it strange that none of her colleagues or friends in the industry seem to have a problem with it.

    This organisation has been given a platform in the UK by organisations claiming to be 'pro' Israel. The only thing that Regavim is 'pro' is racism. Hopefully, that will be remembered next time organisations claim freedom of speech as their defence for hosting events with them.

    The way that has been targeted here on the basis of her faith is just disgusting Islamophobia and should be condemned by everyone, from all parts of the political spectrum and across all media outlets. Solidarity with you Ash, I stand with you in opposing this poison.

    Islamophobia in the UK press & by paid columnists at national newspapers is not unusual, but the silence to this racism from mainstream journalists as a whole (who class themselves as "anti-racist") is illustrative of what Muslims face.

    Julie believes that anti-semitism in the Labour Party is the Muslims' fault - and to get the "Muslim vote", because what....being anti-semitic is attractive for Muslims? Disgusting

    She got very upset that the BBC had an "Islam week" because she believes Islam should be treated differently from other major religions.

    Burchill makes it clear she thinks Muslim women who wear the veil are "prisoners" who fear "a violent response", and if they are white (!), they are a "dumb, white bitch".
