A 9 year old kid in Harlow, Essex, is in trouble for making a gun-shape with his fingers, pointing at a Polish class mate, and saying 'we should kill the German Army'. He has been called 'racist' by the people who run the school, was given a talking-to, his mother was asked to come to the school, and he had to apologise to the whole class. These leftie-liberal Guardian reading dickheads who have punished him should perhaps have a look at a map. Poland and Germany are not the same place. They are not even spelt the same. This kid had just been learning about the Second World War in class. When I was a kid we often played 'soldiers' in the playground and made gun-shapes with our fingers. I seem to recall saying "we're gonna kill some Germans" quite a few times actually - because we had all seen many old war films where British soldiers would have the Germans as their enemy. How long will it be before kids are completely banned from playing any sports because it could harm them, or until disclaimers appear on every page of school history books pointing out that the negative way a nation is referred to in the book (like if the passage is about a dark time in that country's past) is not something we should think of them now, and also we will be punished if we did? The Guardian-ista's have taken over the world!

I dont think there are many things that a child of 9 should be punished for, because they are not as wise and wordly as an adult is. He may also just have been pointing at any kid, made the gun-shape, and said what he did. It may have just been by chance that the kid was Polish.

I genuinely wonder where we will be in a generation's time.

I know what the Mail are like, but I got all this from the London Evening News and they had an exclusive interview with the kid's mother in the garden of her house.
