At the NUT conference, in Harrogate, Ms Ghale said Education Secretary Alan Johnson had described the "values we hold very dear in Britain" as "free speech, tolerance, respect for the rule of law".

"Well, in what way, I'd like to know, are these values that are not held by the peoples of other countries?" she said.
I don't think any nation outside Europe and its former colonies values the first two. Christians are imprisoned, enslaved or killed in many nations. Doesn't seem very tolerant of Saudi Arabia (where I'm headed), Sudan, or China.
