A dad claimed his 11-year-old son was bullied in school for speaking Russian following the war in Ukraine.
Michael Belcher's mother-in-law is Ukrainian, and his wife, Oksana, is Latvian. However Mr Belcher says his son has been targeted and "called Russian" by other children.
He spoke out about the experience after a Russian language school, based out of a primary school in Warrington on Saturday, was forced to close last weekend. A local councillor told the Manchester Evening News the move was forced by "safeguarding concerns" after the host primary school received "aggressive letters."
