To Whom It May Concern:

As explained to myself by the Assistant Director of the Languages Department. I am being expelled from your University of the Arts and from my English classes for being too ‘political’. (?)

I was astonished to show up for classes and be told that my presence was no longer welcome. I was under the impression that I had a very good relationship with both my teacher and the class, on the whole. I have not received any verbal nor any written warnings with regards to poor behavior in the classroom since I commenced my English classes on March 12, 2007.

I was informed, after I had been called out from the computer room, that I spoke too much with regards to the Iraq war and the death of Jean Charles de Menezes in my classwork and this was the reason for my expulsion. I was also told to attend the following day to pick up a letter explaining the reasons for my expulsion as the Assistant Director needed time to look through the ‘rules’ of the University before penning this letter.

For ‘unknown’ reasons to myself, false allegations have been made against myself with regards to my behavior in the University. I seriously and reasonably question as to whether or not there has been any political interference in the making of this decision.

I find it quite a curiosity and/or a coincidence that only the night before, I was present at Belgravia Police station to lodge a complaint against Inspector Tucker who quoted “terrorism” as a reason for telling me to stop filming outside Parliament and attempted to deprive me of my personal property after I had already explained that I was a tourist from Brazil.

Inspector Tucker of the Parliament Police force is now the subject of a very
serious IPCC complaint due to the death threats he made to me in public.
