The Telegraph – by David Barrett
Nursery workers suggested a four-year-old boy who mispronounced the word “cucumber” as “cooker bomb” should be referred to a counter-terrorism project, his family has claimed.
The Asian family said concerns were raised with them after the child drew a picture of a man cutting the vegetable with a large knife.
Nursery staff in Luton, Beds, told the child’s mother they believed he was saying “cooker bomb” when he was asked about the drawing, and discussed referring the case to the Home Office’s ‘Prevent’ deradicalisation scheme.
However, the case was eventually referred to police and social services panel instead, who decided not to take further action, the BBC Asian Network reported.
The boy’s mother, who has not been named, said: “[The member of nursery staff] kept saying it was this one picture of the man cutting the cucumber, which she said to me is a ‘cooker bomb’.
“I was baffled. It was a horrible day.”
She added that she feared her children would be taken away from her.
His father, from Accrington, Lancashire, branded it a “joke” although council sources later claimed action was taken because it was not an isolated incident.
Since July teachers and other workers have been obliged to report any suspicious activity ever since the Counter-Terrorism and Security Actbecame law.
Just under 2,000 under-15s were referred between January 2012 and December 2015.
Teaching unions say there is confusion over the government’s counter-terrorism strategy in schools.
Alex Kenny from the National Union of Teachers said: “Teachers are scared of getting it wrong.
“They think Ofsted is going to criticise them if they haven’t reported these things, and you end up [with] the boy making the spelling mistake, or the boy saying something in Arabic – that then gets reported on.”
“….the child drew a picture of a man cutting the vegetable with a large knife.”
Tell them the child wasn’t drawing a cucumber. Tell them he was slicing off a penis with the large knife, and everything will be fine.
“Oh… I see. He was just celebrating sexual diversity and gender reclassification, so it’s okay”.
Hey, JR;
Ran into this the other night looking for something else. Really liked the connection as to why there were no ‘theories’ regarding Pan Am 103 and the Uni-Bomber. Great connect, and I’m using it to wake a few morons up.
Cheers

wow — that’s more than a decade old already. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I hate to admit it now, but I had a bunch of articles posted on Rense.com when I didn’t know better.
Rense. I was bedazzled by Rense upon discovery. It took a little bit, but the bullsquat snuck through, eventually.
True grit and authenticity are a rare commodity these days. Thanks Henry and Laura.
Yea, but the part was perfect about why no ‘theories’ get launched – millions “stay quiet”, when the ‘story’ matches the evidence and facts.
Few ever stop to ponder that NOT ALL stories get labeled a CT – just when it’s an outright lie, easy to disprove, and downright retarded to accept such nonsense.
I actually don’t go to Rense. I just happened upon that story as a direct link.
Unfukinbelievable……. Words simply fail me and how stupid and gullible people are.
.
For crying out loud, who is running this nursery, Annie Wilkes? Reactionary authoritarians are losing their minds!
Meaning if they dont like you or your family for whatever reason or someone wants your child they have the power to make that happen. I’m here to tell you things are so much worse than anyone can imagine. While everyone’s worried about Isis, terrible things are taking place long before those hired mercs showed up. Some stories are just too much to believe. Nor would you want to.
“She added that she feared her children would be taken away from her.”
A valid fear these days. They still may.
“Alex Kenny from the National Union of Teachers said: “Teachers are scared of getting it wrong.”
These people are insane!
