Student facing charges over tea towel ‘joke’ about pro-Palestine activist telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/0…

A Royal Holloway student could be charged with a hate crime over an incident at Fresher’s Fair, where he told a pro-Palestine student that her keffiyeh looked like a “tea towel”. Brodie Mitchell is facing possible hate crime charges after making the joke in response to being called a “wannabe Jew” by Huda El-Jamal, president of the Friends of Palestine Society, who also questioned why he wasn’t wearing a Jewish yarmulke or kippah. Mr Mitchell was suspended from the university the next day as it launched a nine-week investigation into “alleged conduct that could be considered hate speech”. While Brodie was suspended, barred from campus and forced out of his accommodation, Ms El-Jamal was allowed to carry on with her studies on campus and did not face any disciplinary action. General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Lord Young of Acton — which is supporting Brodie — has called the case “a deeply shocking story”. “An argument between two students has been blown out of all proportion by Royal Holloway. Brodie should never have been banned from campus and placed under investigation, let alone reported to the police.” “What makes Royal Holloway’s actions particularly reprehensible is that Brodie was put through the wringer, while the student who insulted him got off scot-free.” Reform UK’s @RobertJenrick has told The Telegraph: “There is no law against blasphemy in our country, and the dress codes of terror groups like Hamas are not immune from mockery. “The public is rightly angry that the police never seem to have the time to help with crimes like burglaries or thefts, but waste time on nonsense like this. The CPS must immediately drop this case, and the chief constable needs to explain why he thought a months-long probe was a good use of his officers’ time.” Thanks to the support of the Free Speech Union, Brodie is back on campus but under restrictions. If he violates the university’s code of conduct — even a minor offence — he risks expulsion. Brodie will argue in the High Court in June that the action taken by Royal Holloway has meant he missed seven weeks of teaching, which could see him finish his degree later than expected. Royal Holloway is now preparing to spend nearly a quarter of a million pounds defending its actions. An excessive amount of money — though less than the initially estimated costs of £734,000 — which is clearly designed to scare a young student of theirs out of litigation. All of this comes as the Government has recently published its official definition of “anti-Muslim hostility”, which is already being used to silence legitimate criticism of Islam. We fear that this is just the first of many cases we will see as universities across the country are encouraged by the Government to embed the definition and guidance into their speech codes. Surrey Police have confirmed that they have sent a file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for a charging decision — meaning Brodie could face prosecution for saying El-Jamal’s headscarf looked like a “tea towel”. This is the reality of free speech on English university campuses. Read more in The Telegraph and watch Brodie on our most recent podcast episode👇

More madness....

It should be a British Embassy along with recognition of Somaliland.... @Keir_Starmer

Great visit to the @UniofHargeisa - an impressive range of studies. Especially encouraging to see women students now outnumber men and are excelling academically. Proud of the long-standing UK partnership, including with @KingsCollegeLon

Jerusalem’s holy sites have reopened across the Old City. After weeks of missile threats from the Iranian Regime that forced closures and restrictions, worshippers are now able to return to places sacred to all faiths. We’re especially proud to welcome Christian worshippers back this weekend for the Holy Fire ceremony at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre - a moment of faith, tradition, and light returning to Jerusalem. 🎥 @israelpolice

As Gulf citizens, no one dictates to us who our enemy is, nor defines it on our behalf. We clearly understand our interests, and lived experience is our only true standard for judging our relations with others. We do not hide under empty slogans, media noise, or failed projects. We deal only with those who align with our interests, whoever they are and whatever their identity may be.

Morocco is a steadfast and reliable friend and partner to United States, United Kingdom, and indeed Mali and Africa as a whole—standing in clear contrast to the terror-sponsoring regime of Algeria.

This is beautiful.... @USEmbMorocco @USAfricaCommand @FAR_Maroc_ @dg
