BNP member may be struck off teaching register

Solidarity's Adam Walker: expecting detention from the General Teaching Council
A teacher and prominent British National party member could be struck from the teaching register after he was accused of posting racist comments to a website from his school laptop.

Adam Walker, who taught at Houghton Kepier sports college, a foundation school in Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and Wear, has stood as a candidate for the BNP in local elections and is president of the party's closely affiliated trade union Solidarity. He is accused of expressing views "suggestive of racial and religious intolerance" in an online forum.

Walker resigned from his post at the school after the disciplinary action was taken. The allegations date back to spring 2007.

The comments he is accused of making have not been made public but will be closely scrutinised in the General Teaching Council hearing later this year.

Walker is currently attempting to have the GTC chairwoman, Judy Moorhouse, removed from the disciplinary hearing panel, claiming she is biased against him. He told the Times Educational Supplement that the case was being "driven by political spite", adding: "No other teacher at the school has had their internet use monitored in the way mine was. My real crime is political dissidence."

Christina McAnea, of Unison, said: "Schools should be centres of learning and tolerance, not breeding grounds for the poisonous views of the BNP."

Walker worked as a supply teacher at Teesdale school in Barnard Castle, County Durham, last year. He stood as a BNP candidate for Tudhoe in the Durham county council elections in May.

Baffled with last quote. Could be just open to BNP members. Its website says open to all.

Are you baffled yet again Mr Harrington?

Let us put it a bit more plainer for even fantastists like yourself who has come to the point where you are beginning to believe the lies of your own propaganda.

Solidarity is NOT a "free" trade union.

It is so closely linked to the BNP as to be but a "circle" of that political party.

It may be "open" to all according to its own hype but we all know the reality and that is the vast majority of its members are BNP members; it represents virtually only BNP members; and its policies, executive membeship affiliation and instructions come from the BNP.

Solidarity is a BNP front group in name and practice. It was started by the BNP and is run by the BNP.

Go smell the coffee Pat.

I sent that particular post and I am certainly not Harrington. How can you make that sort of error?

I researched their website yet you speak as if you have some 'inside' knowledge which I might otherwise respect except but since you are clearly just 'p*^s & w+%d' I believe you are either a less than clever troll or probably an embitted ex-member?

Apologies to you my friend. I made an eror in reading it and since the Great Fantastist is a prolific poster and a well-known troll of sites such as this I believed it was the Great Fantasist again trying to sow confusion amongst the ranks.

Harrington often attempts to sow misinformation around in order to cover up his agenda and that of the BNP.
