Sir – I read in your report by Luke Sproule (February 11), that yet again we give into a bunch of deranged thugs, so-called Islamic State (who incidentally are an embarrassment to decent living Muslims) by changing the name of Isis Academy into Iffley Academy, because of some misleading and twisted comments on a “fine” academy’s name.

Don’t people locally know that the Romans came up with the name ‘Thameisis’ for our beautiful River Thames that graciously flows through our area, and we proudly, together with our University, took up their naming with the last four ending letters.

Why are we so gullible to kowtow to these wicked terrorists by changing our heritage. Wake up England.
