  1. Issues around Prince Charming perhaps? I can’t picture him wearing a boiler suit, Doctor Martins, cropped multicoloured hair and three tons of piercings.

  2. I deplore the indoctrination of children above most things.
    But it’s not new.
    The old Jesuit aphorism to the effect of of ‘give me the boy and I will give you the man’ remains alive and well.

    But it must be recognised as what it is.

    Child abuse.

    As bad as any physical abuse, it still goes undiagnosed and unchecked. For as children are too small to defend themselves physically, they are also as yet unable to defend themselves mentally and intelectually.

    This is not however, the same as being stupid for they are well able to infer what the ‘right’ response should be given some clues as to what is expected of them by a more powerful person, – and this would have been an important survival skill, that’s why they still have it

    Notice though, that we never actually SEE them being instructed in what IS expected of them – that would be too obviously giving the game away.
    That there is a great chunk of that necessary component missing is pretty obvious in itself.
    This does not worry them as they imagine we’re too stupid to notice.
    As we’ve seen here with Brexit and in the US with trump, those who fondly think of themselves as the ‘progressive elite’ despise the people anyway, and that’s just what we’ve come to expect from the bbc as well.

  3. In my schooldays a Lesbian feminist would probably have been banned from school grounds. I suppose that is what passes as progress nowadays. Funny that they ban Milo but not the likes of her.

  4. If you want to treat women like a gentleman, (super leniently and with utmost courtesy) , against all the evidence of their wrong doing, incompetence, bad manners, even vulgarity, then you are responsible for the abuse of those children and all the madness happening in the society today.
