From serial productions in the new york times. I'm brian read. I'm i'm decided this is the trojan horse affair. Here's what hamza and I have figured out. The trojan al or affair wasn't a mistake. The government didn't overreact simply because they're failed to investigate the source of the trigen horse sleep IT hadn't tricked them.

They hadn't actually missed the links to atterly primary school and respond a dar and then press ahead anyway with teacher bans, legal cases, school takeover, vers, enhance national security policy to tell you the story of how we figure that out. We're going to go all the way back to our very first week of reporting to an interview we did with a key figure in the saga. The first person, the trojan horse sleep, was sent to a man named sir Albert bore.

IT came to me in a Brown paper .

envelope. The .

envelope just was addressed to me, would november.

when the trojan horse letter arrived in november twenty thirteen. Albert boy was the leader of the birmingham council. He's not leader anymore, but he's still a council member. He's one of the longest serving in birmingham, elected in thousand and eighty council board of physicist by training with bushy grey eyebrows and a shirt with its three top button and done and a gold chain against his chest, he was given a nightmare d in two thousand and two for a service to local government. This conversation we have with them IT, was before we're done any digin into utterly primary school ourselves, before we'd really focused on ravana dar and the legal trouble he was facing when the trojan and horse slater popped up.

portraying her as an instant victim.

At this point of reporting, we were still just gathering basic info about the letter.

My staff, they opened the letter and brought IT to me and said that we were hopeful.

Councilor ball, I have something useful to share, because not only was he the first person to receive the letter, but he seemed like one of the few politicians likely to be candid with us. I remember back in twenty fourteen, during the hoop law, he came across the skeptic of the George hall letter. He publicly said the letter was probably a hoax and called a defamatory.

He also attacked the depart for education decision. Send former counter territory peer Clark to investigate bonham schools, he thought, handing the inquiry to a high level terrorism investigator was and rist alienate in burger muslims. It's not the alabama dismissed the idea that there was something work looking into the council disappoint their own non terror investigation. But overall, he had been a defender of the city and at schools here inside the city council building, council house, abb all walked us through his very first moment of the torch, a horse that when he arrived .

him in his office, I of course, looked IT ad IT, reread IT any.

brought the letter to the attention of other top officials at the council, as well as the local police who got back to the council, said this wasn't a matter .

for the cop stigand. They didn't see that at that point. There was anything illegal going on or on low for. And therefore the review was, there was nothing there for them to investigate that surprised me a little then and IT surprises me a little now .

what surprises to .

you about IT? Well because statements in the letter, which would have indicated that there were individuals who were acting in a manner which was uh leading to um uh changes in schools against against the Normal, I guess this sort of change that would be allowed for by the regulations, if you like, within which we Operate. Um so I SAT them next to brian.

Confused for one council board seem to be exerting in a Normal amount of effort to constructed sentences. What is sound like he was saying in those sentences was he is always be the letter, seriously, as a viable threat.

There appeared to be a systematic attempt here to change the ethos of a school. The worse things going on, which we could not condone and IT was about dealing with.

but he said back then, the letter was probably a hoax. Now here I was watching reach across the table for our copy .

of that same letter look at. And i've opened up the letter to look the steps the letter sets out. First step.

identify the school and reading through the plot steps.

Third step, putting some governors .

as if there are real plans .

for a real conspiracy. These steps, we're having the desired effect in a number of schools.

What was he doing? Always waving the letter around, talking like this, I thought, but I say .

something I wanted this matter to be looked and look at gently.

but sorry.

But equally, from the very start I was.

well, mental know, stopped skipping class journey to go to these interviews.

Who do you think worth the letter? Do you have a thought of? No idea.

You have never considered IT I I sometimes asked the question, I want who?

Someone set this out. For what purpose was this? A hopes was IT, not a hopes who might have written, who might have send IT. These are questions which are always about and never answered, because they couldn't be answered and they still can't answered.

Well, yeah, I mean, I guess like for me, I I discovering who wrote the letter, it's not just a curious is about figure out the motivations of the person who wrote IT. You know, if you find out more about the person who wrote, you might figure out more about whether the allegations made within actually real or not.

Look, you're seeking to become an investigative journalist. I commend you for trying to find out who wrote the letter. Your objectives are good, but those objectives weren't my objectors. My objectors were to find out whether steps one to five in any way happened among worming m schools. And if I was that .

a bit of bit loss, we had to proceed. You were just acting so differently than i'd expected. From what I knew, ababa had a well established relationship with muslims.

He represents a war with lots of muslims in a city with a big mom population. He remember of the labour party, which is liberal party moderates, muslim support. He was married the first asian muslim moment, elected to bury council.

He has most lim kids yet. He was putting stock in the trojan horse data, despite his initial misgiving about his authenticity, and despite what he'd seen with his own eyes in his birmingham for insinuation view. The school that i've been having such success that bw up boy is such pride. Before the trojan allegations council had visited that school.

I can tell you, I went to part of school, and I was amazed by some of what they were doing. Absolutely amazed. This is before trading horse. Can you understand .

what I mean about the nature of this letter that you marveled at the same cool that this lesson has .

to convinced educational achievement is one thing, but Operating the school with an ethos, with other values is something we also have to reflect on.

And ethos of the values words i'd become prety familiar with from classical civilization type texts that argue muslims are compatible with the western way of life.

We pushed .

cancelled ball to explain what he was including to with these words.

what have you learned that you are shocked by?

What precisely had the most in meditators who working in the schools done that was so concerning to him? He keep referring to reports from the trojan horse investigators, but when we asked Albert what from those investigations had shocked him, he was telling, apparently, nothing was disturbing enough that he stayed with him. He could only point to how governors and staff in his birmingham had created what he called ominously, an atmosphere .

where a school governing body is putting unacceptable on teachers, unacceptable pressure on the head teacher to do things in a way which is not acceptable, to enable certain objectives to be realized in the school.

certain matters and certain objects. What's the inappropriate thing that was actually happening?

Because these words, like things, are a little vae, the vae, if you read these reports, that things were, things were happening, which was against the run of what should be happening in that school.

I don't find IT so clear. I feel little confused by the report. Having read dom recently, quite honestly, what exactly about this is bad, you know, like undo religion against what standard is that being measured when you read IT? It's a little hard to get your grass found what exactly the report is saying. And I, you know, and i've read IT in good faith and really trying understand IT.

this is all the reason would come to allow war to try and get some clarity, the evidence and conclusions in these reports, foxy, to us. So we were hoping aba bar could help us understand what i'd made. Officials go from celebrating these schools for incorporating the students faith in culture to condemn in them.

Instead, what we got from council ball or in situations they were quote and quote, matters of concern. He said. A set of activities, individuals acting in common by the end of the interview IT come up with the exactly one example of a practice that was found going on in these schools that appalled him.

In some schools, there were certain activities which appeared, were being done on a single sex basis.

And those activities abroad tollars were P, E. And sports.

And that was because of the muslim, so called muslim ethos. S that was being applied.

Is that unusual for schools?

Oh, totally, yes, is totally against the Normal activities of a school.

The government is a keeps statistics on how many schools teach P. E. To boys and girls separately. But the depart for education specifically allows for him, and for my own experience, going to school in england.

And every brit I can remember ever talking to about this, that's prety standard in schools, muslim E, S. Or not. Count support said he told there were other inappropriate changes.

Changes, he said, would be OK, by the way, if these have been domination schools, which they worked. But again, he wasn't positive what changes he was talking about in our two and a half hours with him. P. E, was all he could remember for sure.

So there's no evidence of anyone being incited to violence, incited to join a group .

this that I don't think there's any evidence which could lead you one hundred percent to have you that might be evidence around constable .

be the treasure horse that are back up.

It's a partial letter. Well, IT appears to be, you see, there was something before this first page, and would appear that could be something after the final point, because IT says, I would also like. And then IT stops. So that sentence is he referring .

the bottom of the last page of the letter, the final sentence fragment I would also like, as if the thought would have continued on the following page had ever been found.

So this was part of a bigger document. Was there some further steps towards the end of this letter, which is about islamic extremism? I don't know.

So right, what we learned all over board stands right?

Fucking surprise. And i'll tell you that may .

m and I headed IT out of council house. We put its columns and dome and clock tower behind us and started walking. Hamza was animated.

That's fine. But now to sit here and talk as IT from day one, you receive this letter, you expect that you went around. You try to get other people to reflect your urgency. No one else on board like you 保险 me。

I love how mad you are.

May.

i'm pissed. why?

Look at the power that the letter had on official dom. right? Look at IT.

Four years on, IT is so ingrained in their mentality that, you know, all these things are sinus fuck. All these things were happening. They had to stop these practices.

These are these steps. What the fuck was concerning, tell me, was concerning me. Just break IT down to me.

You're literally poking me in .

the chest right now. Here i'm saving audacity to say that the results hums.

And I kept walking around city center pass, the clothing stores in the cathedral and a lane called needless ali, then pass the clothing stores in the cathedral needlessly. Again, IT occurred to me, we're not actually .

going anywhere. I'm just like, I couldn't believe me the way in which he was describing a situation, the terms in which he was kind of like addressing this issue. I'm like, fucking, you are saying some radical shit.

Thank you about me. I cannot think of the job my head a moment where I set opposite someone and they have just, you know, disparate ged muslims in the way that board IT today story. Honestly, I have not .

without quite doing IT.

without quite doing IT openly, but and I kind of like not a wink kind of way suggested that may come on. These guys are an extreme, is less beyond st. Generally, and do is so easily, so comfortably.

I guess council board attitude towards the trojan horse affair shouldn't been such a surprise to me, but he had said the letter was probably a hoax, defamatory, even one of the package early statements. I know just that he had always equipped prevent the same logic as so many of this had the letter wasn't genuine, IT could still be pointing to serious issues. What pissed me, although was council ables reliance on the letter through our our interview in the vae language he was using the longside IT is any windows about extremism?

I don't think ababa is a racist. I believe he has since a concern and sensitivity about burmahs muslims, but he still managed to make people like me sound alien and dangerous in some way. And I didn't feel good.

And I actually thought at one point, like, does he know what my name is? Obviously been corresponded with brian read. Does he know this is how to say in this room personally? Was I opening .

really this interview?

Yeah, the conversation i've had of my friends with my conservative muslim friends who have always had held this belief that, like is a big or wider conspiracy, you know and like anyone against muslims and there is no success for us in the west and I never entertain any of them. I know what is common for us, immigrants to get twisted up in a spliced, cultured existence, but i've been able to make IT work for me.

I grew up in a conservative pakistani family, but we always lived in White neighbor ods. I'm a muslim, but I went to mostly White cat lic school. I wasn't mass service more than a mosque.

And this helped me carve out a pretty free spot myself, a Brown person who White people were eased around because i'd dress like them and speak like them. I can get them to pay attention and care about what I have to say, like convincing a brian reed to fly away from new york to join this hunt. This is part of what I was hoping to do as a journalist.

I thought I could get access to White rooms of power and focus them on our brand issues. So on, my muslim pakistani mates who aren't is native to White spaces, tell me that the west has IT out for all of us muslims. I've always deny that.

I've always said they are paranoid. And it's talk like that. That held us back. It's talk like that.

that so I used .

to fight with them every opportunity to had always, always against. And then I see opposite of war. I mean, look, I didn't feel like i'll sit in front of a bigger, just a rational man.

What educated will learn IT in a position of power, even married the most ones. And yet, here is someone who can only look at this matter in terms of, like, something sinister. He was more willing to entertain the idea that the page was missing at the end of this rogan horse data, this, we're going to old to lead to radicalization, extremism. He was more willing to entertain that then IT was a way to contain the idea that actually, there might be something good happening in these schools, and these kids were actually thriving.

Is that making you rethink the stance you've taken in the past, I guess? Or is that we are .

saying IT just makes me think that as much as convinced that their stand was on rain, maybe my stands wasn't right either and that makes little uneasy because .

you really believe that .

stuff yeah, I made god. IT was very important for me to to to believe that IT gave me the impediment, kind of explore other fields of the careers because I didn't think there was, you know, some kind of fundamental distrust of muslims with the fuck. Is I defending, what do you do with these .

feelings as a journalist? I wonder.

I don't know me because like for me the worry is, and I don't like talking about this, because for me the worry is, what if you become the muslim reporter, right? Say.

this is a society .

that you're Operate and and wear. If muslim stake over school and turn IT around, it's a threat.

They imagine a muslim .

journalist was coming in. What do people start listen to their words? Is that not equally a threat? If you want to hear on the story with me, I don't know if what we arrived to together as a conclusion, even if I arrived at the same conclusion on my own, what having of credibility, because these words are coming out of my mouth, they're gonna received differently.

For the SHE ship, can we get vella rose and can get a part of many years.

When I got dark out, we ducked inside a shesha cafe, a hook, a lounge. IT was cool. IT was up at the top of the abandoned movie theater. I put my record down. I thought we were done for the day.

How have picked IT up? What I like ask you questions.

At some point I should ask you questions. He said, which, fair enough.

it's fine because, like, okay, so I know.

Why was I here? He asked me doing this story with them. What was I hoping to achieve? I did this story this summer. We went to the alaska here. And of course.

alaska, exactly. I thought this would go.

Keep driving through entries. You keep driving other, like five hours.

Brian told me about how he'd been report a story about immigration, their recent in a town called homa.

the road in america. Homer and I google .

the place after we talked pictures of bears, Blakes and mountains popped up a far cry from burning in U.

K. In about immigration town that they have no immigrants.

Appending stories are about play. Like birmingham had influences. People out there, brand kept intervening. Alaskans who told him they are afraid and angry. Muslims, because that read online, have.

In europe, we taken over large swells of city and turn them me to so called no go zones where non muslims ms. Can't enter. On a fox news segment, birmingham famous accused have been taken over entirely by muslims, the whole city.

He said he struck him how powerful these fears were in a place where muslims were basically the radical idea does only one muslim guy as far as bran new, who lived there on a boat, apparently. Then I I walked to brian back stage, who is looking to report a story in one of these supposedly captured european cities to dispell the mits about them. Cheers to know goes on something .

we in one right now.

No, I know.

I heard all burning.

yeah. IT depends. Depends without .

you do to.

Do you think which I wants mind, I buy anything. Is that even an important ambition to hold?

Or does not matter? I don't think about that. What do this story? Because I feel like IT will often lead to disapointment the things that motivate me to do a story because it's a good as story and I want to tell a good, good story.

And I feel like you can have all sorts of buy products changing people's minds. But for me, I think I would get disappointed a lot or is like if you're doing to where you personally want to know the answer to something, you personally want to do the best story you can, then that's like word try to derry. The motivation from you know.

No, I didn't know. Why would you do a story if you didn't care what impact you would have?

So that was our first week in birmingham. And like I said, I was before we knew much about adder's primary school or the resignation case against rivonia dar. But in the coming months, once we piece together the resignation story and we saw just how strongly that suggests that the trigen horse sleep was written, to influence that atterly case, we sharpened our strategy.

We started asking people, important people, did you connect the trojan horse sleep to the utterly dispute? And what did you make of the connection? But when we asked these questions, IT became apparent that utterly primary school was the no goes down. How about utterly the school that's talked about at length in the letter? What did you do in terms of of taking that .

on IT would be been taking IT all in archa.

The consultant Albert b. Brought in to investigate the chosen horse sleep for birmingham council. We press him on the other little dispute.

Did you read up about that situation to actually love develop at the time here? yeah. Can you give us a little details .

about the situation? no. IT is particularly important that I don't .

kind of touch you .

here and I am certainly not going to comment upon any. First, I ve already we understand that .

when we started filing freedom of information request with the birmingham city council for documents we suspected had information about atterly they were touchy to, they stalled, issued ridiculous denials, were found by a regulator to have broken the freedom of information law numerous times and their efforts to withhold documents from us.

When I asked the employment tribunal for its records from the elderly resignation case, the burma city council hired a fancy barrister to fight me. Not only do they not want the records released, the council wrote to the tribunal that the case file out to be destroyed. And oddly, the city council submitted that request on behalf of rizvon, a dar, and her husband could.

Dear arif, even in westminster, things were weird. We went down there to the house of commons to talk to the member of parliament who represent salem rock, a guy named lean burn. We thought he'd be helpful because elderly primary schools in his district, and we knew that one of the teaching assistance who accused was on a dark, faking the resignation letters, had gone to lean burnt for support.

We knew the letter to the birmingham council about mr. Star saying he wanted her investigated immediately, saying this was so serious he wanted to talk to a council representative directly that was wanted, I was still the school, and quote, has the freedom to destroy evidence. But when we tried talking's ly and burnt about all that, about rizvon a dar, and the way was described in the rogen horse letter. This is the second page of the trojan horse sleep, this section in particularly a atterly .

primary school, where they moved in the rest of the letter.

he would not engage with IT. We'd brought his own letters to talk him about, but he SAT there, refusing to look at them. IT was really awkward.

Is right there next year, if you want to read IT all night, I think you would like to look serious. I'm just not i'm not going to comment on anything to do with correspondent representations for individual constitutions. If you don't respect that, then I think we're .

gonna conclude IT here. So you never had a conversation with anyone else about respond to Darwin, the author of the trojan horse letter.

I can't, I can't talk you about.

Why can you talk .

about that talk leaving us?

Why I don't understand. You're waiting us goodyer. He stormed away.

Meanwhile.

back in alam rock, other doors slammed on us.

This is moments after a former matera governance are edlin toe tic bone shut his front door in our faces. It's not a good surprise me or anything. We'd had a friendly conversation the week before, and he knew we be coming by, but this time he threat to call the police on us the third person to make that threat a month.

So we are that someone make you feel like you're doing something criminal that move, trying to criminalize what you're doing, which is completely a front decent.

struggling this more than I am a fucking minority my entire life. Is this what we do in the story? And do you realized the story you're reported on? Know who you talk to. So where to have people criminalize? Now you got me.

Appreciate the mirror you're holding up to me.

i'm glad have in these moments. Welcome to my and world. IT struck us that on the one hand, officials were insisting that baby thought about where the trojan hose that I come from because I did my.

And yet, when we'd ask them about the relationship of elderly primary school to the letter a triggered, almost have loving responded them to run away as fast as they could. But one afternoon, in a fit of research, brian came across a clue as to what they might be running from. We follow that lead after break. You're taking a late afternoon .

I was noodling around on this site one day called what do they know, dot calm, which helps people make freedom of information requests in the U. K. And keeps listings of them online. When I found a reference to a birmingham council record with a title that peak my interest final audit report, elderly primary school alleged faults, fiction of documents, ha. I saw that a woman named polling gan had requested this document, which looked to be an investigation report from the council in twenty fourteen, and the council responded that they would not be disclosing IT pulling the us. Ford again a couple of times over the years, and each time the council refused.

Don't recall this back.

So we met pulling for dinner to find out what you knew about this report at a favorite indian restaurant. Warmington city .

center .

has official.

good, lovely. So that makes the dinner sound like a much more Normal evening than I was. Only is the kind of person who cultivate a certain mistake. SHE won't tells the name of the restaurant to meet up. For instance, SHE directed us to run, but with a statue instead, though, as we found out the statue, you no longer exists.

When we finally did make IT to the italian place, the propriety beckon, polling into the house station where he wanted have a few words that are privately, which seem mysterious in the moment, but we later learned was because he had paid in the last time he was here because of fellow pastor tiste. unusual. You have evidence.

Oh, well, he's a little story.

Now, as we're eating dinner, i'm trying to cope out of her anything he knows about this report, about the falsification of documents at atterly. But SHE gives tellme to .

turn my record off, then put that on.

tell you i'm still not clear what polis professionals, by the way, but for our purposes, i'm going to go with vigilant and t local journalist used to own a twitter account called new and Brown. Brown is birmingham nickname, the trojan horse. Andal was one of our biggest stories.

Our dinner with polin was a bit disjointed, so we met her again the following week. This time, SHE hums, and I packed into a Carol at the burma in public library. Our suggestion sh'd wanted to me on a gallery bench in the art museum. SHE came bearing a bunch of old notes from a time reporting and Operation rogan horse.

You can see how much this is most in IT.

I can tell you where most.

Yeah, cause I knew people lying. That's why people who shouldn't be at all levels are people who have paid a lot of money to be leaders and honest and open.

Polin told us that while he was covering trojan horse, SHE got a tip from someone close to utterly that after the T. S. There had complained a birmingham council that mrs. Darr might have fabricated the resignation letters.

the council did an investigation and that an audit report was written, which I have seen some of, but not all of, despite many to nacion freedom of information requests, which have been rejected by the council.

i'd requested IT, too, before meeting polling.

And the council also .

denied me privately as well.

not not put on what do they know, doc, clearly they don't want us to see that so many people of us are, know, I believe, baby, see, people of us. I've asked on there was a journalist that work independently. We've asked, you have vast nobody y's getting IT already. Really, if you wanted to put your money into anything in this investigation, would be get that old .

IT report test test one, two okay, what you you .

holding them right?

OK. So we yeah, I have just been given a lot report. Final audit report.

In my hands. This makes us not easy, but I have to take my heart to brand here. Getting this order report was quite a no deal now, at least because, as we would learn, one of the reasons that council was so sensitive about this report because they eventually, rather mister, finally retracted, in which i'll tell your whole story about later.

Anyway, they took something, everything, from brian to take you back up. I'd catch him late night in his hotel room on his phone shopping messes with sources he'd saying about this order report. He won't run away in a football match, be watching together, continue some secret conversation as weeks away from flag in his behavior to his wife.

When one day he came out to me and said, Martin, I said, stop calling me that he said, follow me. And we had IT. We had the audit report.

I can't say much about how we got IT except that we obtained IT legally. We were able to authenticated by cross referencing with other documents. And the honest wait was he was held with gloved hands. Honestly, I feel like to required stay secrets. I feels like.

except it's .

about primary school.

this is the cover page restricted.

Substantial.

sixteen pages.

sixteen pages. Brian.

ready to me. The document .

was put together by internal investigators, auditors, including account of fraud specialist at the bonsa c council, look IT into the dispute resignations from the forty years .

to determine whether the resignation letters have been falsified and if so, whether mr. Dar was involved in their production.

The report stated the third of october twenty thirteen, about seven weeks before the trojan horse data appeared at the bin city council. So this is the information the council had about rizwan adar and those resignations as they were delivered in the trojan horse 了 啊。 This report is a brutal document for mister ter.

The council investigators paint a picture of mr. dr. Trying to get oceans eleven on to set up the days.

But fumbling at every turn, I missed this one memorable detail. Investigators observed that on the resignation that a mr. dr. Insisted was written by one of the teaching assistance a woman and baby SHE knows his name is spelt incorrectly it's missing an age meaning if SHE nose baby had written in, I like mr.

Don was claiming SHE misspelt her own name then a couple of weeks after mida announced, as the woman had resigned, the school sent greeting cards to offer them parking notes, which in the wealth of the future, that alone was quote in appropriate for the school to do the auditor rides, given that the employees were adamant that they hadn't resigned. But on top of IT in the greeting card, adele's entitied ed baby sina zi name is also spt incorrectly. It's missing an age the same age that was missing on her alleged resignation letter.

According to a report when the audit tried to interview mister dar for their investigation, SHE cancelled on them four times. The report says the lawyers for adder's insisted in an email. The mister dar in the school had quote substantial evidence, witney testimony and forensic that SHE had not force the resignation letters, but they never provided any way to the other team add list. Lawers had advised me, sir, not to participate investigation since the school wasn't an illegal fight with the t the conclusion of the inquiry that what that is right is that although they found no direct proof confirming the resignation that is well fabricated by rWanda or herself.

the manner in conduct and how he has chosen to deal with the resignations, and this auto investigation is concerning and undoubted calls her integrity into question. wow. We have determined that the resignation letters have been falsified in the absence of any evidence to the contrary. IT is reasonable to conclude that mr. Dark may have been involved in the fabrication of the resignation letters in order to terminate the contracts of employment of foreign visuals who each have an unresolved grievance raised against her birminghams dit will be seeking the director agreement to refer the matter to the police. Wow, so the.

的 一个。

This was new to us, a bomb shell. The city of birmingham was all over this case, the auditors have been scrutinising IT for months down to a graph ological analysis of greeting cards. They determined that the resignation letters were fabricated, that mrs.

Dar might have been involved in fabricating them and as a result, the'd seek the police on mrs. dar. In the weeks before the trojan horse letter appeared at the request of the city council, riz vana dar was facing a possible criminal investigation.
