The Tory Gov Bullshit thread - Part 4

My husband couldn't get his head around a programme being titled 'Loose Women', he took the the 'loose women' as in 'loose women'


Not one for those under 40

Rishi was on 'Loose Women' at lunchtime. He was shit, they were shit.

I've never met/heard of anyone who actually watches Loose Women, still, you know what they say, there's always one.

I doubt it’s something people would openly admit to.

Awful programme.

Awful programme.

As with most programmes, I give them a go,. As you say, it was awful, but I thought it couldn't be that bad the second time around so gave it another shot. That was the last time I watched it, for which himself was very grateful.

Gillian Keegan in media looking dumb. She's banned sex education and any conversation about gender identity for under nines. When asked where it's happening she can't say or tell what the 'reports' she talks about say. Also seems her new guidance bans teachers from talking to any under nine about sexual identity, must be the governments hate gays week.

To be honest , it beats the fuck outta me as to why an 8 year old needs to know about sexual or gender identity ?

They can barely tie their shoes at 8 let alone choose their gender

[Zambo]

At 8, reading riting and rithmatic and games in the playground. Teaching the other shit is only going to confuse the fuck out of them at that age. Plenty of time for it later.

[birdie]

What does an under 9 year old want to know about sexual identity? They are either a boy or a girl with, mostly, a mummy and a daddy.
Yes, I know there are kids with just one of the former due to family circumstances, but kids accept that.
It must confuse the hell out of kids when one in their class decides it wants to be called by another gender than the one they are, and are pandered to (waits for brick bats) by teachers, often, it seems without the knowledge of the parents, who still bring up the boy or girl as what they were born with but the kid decides it wants to be something else at school.

And just what is a 'blended' family? Lammy referred to that several times when being asked about la Rayners tax dodging.
I suppose it means people living apart but coming together when they want a shag and wont go to a knocking shop

[Zambo]

If I'd have said I was a girl at that age, I'd have received a smack from the cock of the school and removed from the gang and sent to play dollies and shop.

Give these kids a break. Put the idea in their heads at that age, and it could cause all sort of mental problems.

Classic stuff there

Sweeping generalisations in support of a ban on something that doesn't happen anyway

Very good

The whole thing was designed to attract votes from those unable to think for themselves.

Rishi Sunak is counting on enough of the country falling for it to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

It's not taught to under nines.

Actual sex education works like this.

• Sex education isn't compulsory in primary school
• Relationship education is, they cover bullying, online safety, friendships etc
• In the final year of primary school they teach sex in terms of biology
• If they want to teach more than this they have to tell the parents who can remove there is from class

They are banning something that doesn't happen.

Some children may want to talk to their teachers about it. But it's not taught.

A 'blended family' is just another name for a step family, where parents have kids from previous relationships all living together and maybe have new kids together. See 'The Brady Bunch' as an example:

[birdie]

Didn't the Brady Bunch all live together, not separately?

As I understand it 'blended', or step-families, live together, not apart, and come together as when it suits them, as la Rayner wants people to believe, so Lammy, IMO of course, was either mislead or just plain lying.

What's wrong with the term 'step family'?

[Vespa]

They are essentially the same thing. Although families can also be lead by siblings, grandparents, foster parents etc which is why they use blended
