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.

So you strongly object to faith schools

But you?re happy to take their money and to work their

You see any hypocrisy in that?

The Mayor and the police I was referring to.

Ask any police officer Cella, they will tell you the same ...

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).

So no evidence then?

[TheArtfulDogger]

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

Think it's more your hate fest isn't it.

I?ve got an upright VAX Mach Air. Should I be worried it might have been installed with dodgy code or viruses to let the PLA or whoever hack me?

I see you misinterpret my disappointment in his many missed oppertunities to improve our great capital as hate.

[cella]

Not sure anyone would misinterpret your comment and you've assumed lovefest in my challenge. Still no evidence.
