Totally agree and I too take issue with Walter's sympathy with the women whose stalls were excluded from conference. We should not be giving any sort of platform to people who deny trans people's right to exist.

He's attacking the whole concept of education as inquiry. He would like to see schools dumbed down and only the 'correct' views taught. This echoes the current US attack on educators.

The BBC still furiously peddling the fiction that Trump "railroaded" Netanyahu into a peace deal.

No, the US could have secured a deal any time over the past two years by ending the shipments of bombs.

Farage is saying all teachers are Marxists. They're not. They just teach that we should care for one another. But that offends his fascist instincts. The result is he is turning on a profession that teaches about compassion and empathy - because he loathes it. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10...
