Trojan Horse plot driven by same 'warped' Islamic extremism as Boko Haram, says Tony Blair Birmingham schools 'plot' is part of extremist movement stretching from Pakistan to Africa to Britain, former prime minister Tony Blair claims
The alleged Islamic extremism seen in the 'Trojan Horse' scandal in schools in Birmingham is the same as that practised by Boko Haram, the Nigerian terrorist network, Tony Blair has said.
The Trojan Horse 'plot' to bring hardline practices into Birmingham classrooms is part of a global extremist movement stretching from Britain to Africa to the Far East, the former Prime Minister claimed.
Six Birmingham schools are in special measures after the education watchdog found they had fallen into the hands of bullying governors who had sought to narrow the curriculum and exclude non-Muslim pupils.
