Precisely- and not just communities- I've worked in several 'faith' schools and they actively discriminate against LGBT by not including those PEOPLE in the Equality section of the Citizenship program.( until September 2020) And, unfortunately fishbiscuits, we are banging our heads up against a brick wall trying to persuade any person of 'faith' to think again because 'faith' is a belief in the totally unknowable....Catch 22 comes to mind- conveniently for them.

Pretty much, yes. But not to the same extent. Single sex schools do not indoctrinate impressionable young minds by mixing mythology and personal beliefs with education.


Yes religion may be a delicate subject for some, but I'm all for speaking up for reason, critical thinking, and human progress. Cruel slaughter of animals does not stand up to any sort of logic or scrutiny. Neither does educating kids according to their parents' extra-curricular beliefs. Or prime ministers who think their invisible magical friend told them to take the country to war.


I'm sick to the f*****g stomach of all of it, to be honest.


Clearly we'll never agree, so I shall not continue further (and apologies again for derailing the thread).

Whilst it's an old story Cella, the following talks a about how the Mayor failed to spend much needed money on the police when knife crime was rising in 2018

There are more examples on line and if you weren't such a doubting Thomas you could look them up yourself, however now back to NY and banning Foie Gras and not your apparent lovefest for the Mayor.🤔😳😂

No- just getting my money back (ha ha ha) AND I could challenge their homophobia face to face....and I now know that the indoctrination is actually getting worse...importation of more fundamentalist video material from the USA, using enhanced colours (or should I say 'colors'- a dead give-away) and modern 'romantic' music and imagery...sickening

    • It’s 3 AM - Anyone know when this horrendous noise is going to stop?! We’re on the Sainsbury’s Local end of Landells and am quite frankly sympathising with all of you nearer Peckham Rye. My ears are ringing! How is this ok?!  Edit: According to the website it should have finished by 22:30. What is going on and how is this acceptable (and not more people are complaining about the crippling sound levels we’re being subjected to?) - shocking.. 
    • https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY We live near and it’s absolute hell. The noise of the people coming and going from Peckham is the worse. They are so loud and obnoxious. This is my 5th year of this nonsense. People vomiting in my front garden, urinating in my neighbour’s gardens, throwing food into my garden. Screaming waking up my children while waiting for their Ubers. The people that organise this festival are 100% obnoxious. They told us there would be security along our road (there wasn’t). I asked them to put up my family in a hotel but they wouldn’t. It’s actually a human rights infraction for all of us this badly affected. Over the years I have spent so much money trying to be away this weekend but none of us should have to. The data also shows that most people coming are not local residents - so of 3000 tickets sold, hardly any to residents; it’s easy to argue that it disadvantages us residents way more than any conceivable benefit. My elderly neighbours are besides themselves. Every year the setup and striking of the festival blocks off the park during half term, plus the antisocial behaviour and loud noises mean actual children that live here are prevented from using the park and playgrounds. The police initially rejected the license last year… then suddenly changed their mind with no apparent reason… seems legit. Also the GALA team lie and make false statements in their advertising about consulting with us (they don’t they just tell us what is going to happen then are extremely obstinate and rude). My neighbour runs Friends of Peckham Rye and has been totally distressed by all the damage done to recent planting initiatives funded by the local community. GALA do not repair this, GALA pay off Southwark and then Southwark refuse to confirm what they are paid, or how much (if anything) is spent to repair the park.   This needs to be stopped once and for all!!   Petition asking Southwark to stop providing the license to GALA once and for all.    I mean I am sure they will listen to us just like they did about the LTNs…   https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY
