If a teacher stood in front of pupils and said gay people “destroy the human race” and should be executed in certain countries, they’d be out of a job before the end of the day.
If a foster carer or youth worker pushed that message, they’d be barred from working with children and facing police questions.
Yet when the same rhetoric is delivered by an imam in a UK mosque, to a youth audience, it gets bundled up as “religious teaching” and kicked down the road to a slow charity investigation.
Safeguarding is supposed to be about the child, not the job title of the adult.
If we really believe violent homophobia is a form of abuse, then it has to be treated as abuse wherever it happens – including in taxpayer‑funded religious institutions.
Labour refuse to cut welfare to fund our national defence.
Instead, at the last minute, they said they would cut the MoJ capital budget.
I asked David Lammy what will be cut and what it means for prison expansion.
10 days after he was meant to reply, he still doesn’t know.
Imagine doing victory laps after two years of failure which led to you being deposed despite a massive majority: Imagine how quickly you'd have lost your job if you hadnt been such an outstanding success...
Today's reminder sitting Labour MP Tulip Siddiq is a convicted criminal who hasn't served the custodial sentence imposed on her.
But it's all fine. Because she's Labour. 🙄😬😡
For those unaware the Légion d'honneur is a French medal of the highest order given to foreigners.
Many Normandy veterans were gifted them. Men who ran face first into bullet storms on the D-Day beaches. For freedom.
Others got theirs for..... reasons...
Lest We Forget.
Ann Widdicombe's name must be put on the wall in the House of Parliement alongside the other two MPs Joe Cox and David Amess who were also murdered.
Repost this if you agree.
This is deeply unprofessional.
A lot of families have been badly affected by the closure of multiple independent schools, many of whom had SEND children on bursaries.
My Grandfather received the Légion d’honneur for the part he played on DDay so I find this particularly offensive. Given to the worst PM in history and the most unpatriotic PM we’ve ever had. It’s an insult, he’s an insult
It's worth remembering, 'Save the Children' have made zero posts calling out the slaughter of tens of thousands of Christian children by Boko Haram, ISIS & Islamist militants in Nigeria, Syria, Sudan and beyond?..
Selective outrage isn't saving children..
Defund the bias..
This is ridiculous. My generation has to spend THOUSANDS on driving lessons, and then wait 6-9 MONTHS for a driving test. Uttery ridiculous.
Deport every single middle eastern migrant.
Here is @DPJHodges three days after Jo Cox was murdered in 2016, politicising her murder to persuade people to vote against Brexit. (Link to the column in first reply.)
