That’s because these dribbling racist fuckwits have been poisoned by Farage and Tice and Badenoch to HATE all Muslims and anyone else brown or foreign 😒🙄 The BBC and Sky and LBC and Trump and Musk are all complicit in this incitement to racial hatred and violent xenophobia - it needs to end… 😔

Broadway stage producers wanted to drop this song from South Pacific because it might offend a mostly white audience. R&H refused, telling them the 90sec song was the whole point.

The children outside are taught to hate. While the children inside learn to fear. What a better England we'd have if the children on the outside were taught empathy and the refugee children on the inside were embraced by them, forging bonds of friendship that would shape our future for the better.

This is the thing though. The parents need educating as much as their kids. And then there are cries of "Nanny State" or accusations of overreach. I personally would have liked Lucy Connolly, and the others charged, to have been made to volunteer with refugee charities, rather than do time.

This isn't 'grooming' but, rather, traditional parenting: it's been going on since forever! Parents pass their beliefs onto their kids, be it faith, football or hate! Grooming typically starts with the victim being targetted: that's not pertinent in a parent-child relationship.

It's not osmosis, agreed, but it's not grooming...as there's no specific seeking out and targeting of a victim. When we overuse a word and over-extend the definition, we undermine the real meaning of the word, making the problem harder to tackle!

But that's a legal definition, and was well overdue. As an educator I have seen how the word bullying has been used and abused, and weaponised by kids and families. 'Grooming' can't be synonymous with 'badly parented'.
