The #NoOutsiders KS2 assembly this week uses the new memorial to LGBT veterans to explore attitudes towards homophobia and ask how ideas can change. Free assembly plan here no-outsiders-assembly.blogspot.com/2025/10/lgbt...

Nigel Farage is filthy fascist according to Heseltine, and he thought Thatcher was good enough to serve in her cabinet. So Nigel Farage must be Far, far, far Right.

“Another degrading possibility… is to allocate times during which the ponds will be trans-inclusive.” Imagine scheduling time to “allow” black, disabled, lesbian, or Jewish women to use the pond - outside of that time, they’d be banned because of the ‘feelings’ of a group of privileged white women!
