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.

You see any hypocrisy in that?

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

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
