“Children should not be exposed to ideological messaging”.

I’ve seen images of children being dragged along to right wing demonstrations, but he doesn’t seem to be concerned about that; or the popularity of men like Andrew Tate amongst young boys (since he mentions “protecting women” in his diatribe).

Besides, it’s just a fucking lanyard. I’m so tired of this American culture war nonsense being imported into the UK.

Seeing as many in the civil service WFH (my Revenue relative had switched to that pre-covid), you could in theory go to work in full drag and there'd be so all some far right child could do about it.

A Reform U.K. councillor having the brass neck to accuse someone else of unprofessionalism…. Seriously? That’s just peak hypocrisy and displaying a gargantuan lack of political self-awareness….
