Love this from Humanists UK! #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/
That's humanism!
We've teamed up with our patron Stephen Fry, to explore humanist ideas about some of life’s big questions in four animated shorts.

At this point I think we can all agree that Sharon Osbourne is a shit excuse for a human being.

Interested to know if anyone has experience opting their children out of collective worship at a C of E primary school? Looking into it currently for my kids but would like to understand the down side!

The rights obsession with Muslim grooming gangs (which aren't Muslim) is odd considering the Church of England has been outed as one of the countries biggest child abuse cover up club. Maybe they could focus their efforts there instead?

The IHT changes for farmers has been an interesting policy but having thought about it the policy is simply closing a tax loophole that has been exploited by the super rich. I have a great deal of respect for farmers but I don't really see why they should get a tax break no one else gets.
Asset rich farmers "We put food on your table"
The rest of us
"We teach your kids
We look after you when you're sick
We clean your streets
We empty your bins
We deliver your shopping
We deliver your mail
We care for your parents
We pay our fair share
So should you"

Absolutely fantastic result, this bill is the first step to giving people in England the right to die
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill has passed its Second Reading.
A historic first step to meet the aspirations of the public, who overwhelmingly support having choice, dignity, and compassion at the end of their lives.

Conveniently forgetting that this is thanks to 14 years of governance by her own party.

Glad to see an arrest warrant issued for the genocidal maniac Netanyahu. Just remember, criticism of Israel is not antisemitism. Netanyahu is a war criminal, plain and simple.

I believe this bill is a great start to give people in the UK the right to die. Something I feel strongly, that we should already have! #AssistedDying
