A FORMER headmaster, who was driven out of his job in Bradford 15 years ago after he was accused of being racist, says he has ultimately been vindicated.
Ray Honeyford, who now lives in Bury, feels his views have been "justified" in a long-awaited race relations report about the riot-hit Yorkshire city.
His articles on multi-racial education in a right-wing journal cost him his job in Bradford in 1985 amid massive publicity from the national media.
But he says his opinions seem to have striking similarities with some of those published yesterday by Lord Herman Ouseley, the former head of the Commission for Racial Equality.
"I got it right," said Mr Honeyford, of Wragby Close, Bury.
