Suspended GB News presenter, Reverend Calvin Robinson, who was dismissed from the Royal Academy of Dance for his opposition to a drag queen storytelling session for children, has secured an £8,000 out-of-court settlement. The Mail has the story.
It came after he attended a rally organised by conservative group Turning Point U.K. against the show, starring drag queen That Girl, being held at a pub in South London earlier this year. The protest turned into a violent clash with LGBT activists.
Mr. Robinson reported on the protest on his Calvin’s Common Sense Crusade on GB News.
Tim Arthur, Chief Executive of the academy, and trustees, wrote to tell Robinson he was being thrown off the committee adding: “We cannot condone the way in which you have chosen to express your views”.
Former teacher Mr. Robinson, a deacon in the Free Church of England, took legal action, supported by the Christian Legal Centre, claiming harassment and discrimination on the grounds of his Christian beliefs. The RAD settled last week before the case reached court.
Last night, he told the Mail on Sunday: “I am pleased that the bullies did not win and that they have learnt you cannot push people out for holding traditional views – Christian views.
“It is sad to see that, on the one hand, they insist on pushing these toxic ideologies upon young people, and on the other hand call themselves inclusive while excluding anyone with traditionally British views.”

Vaccine contracts, vaccine harm claims, hate speech legislation, free speech claims. There’s certainly one profession seeing good business right now.
How did he win if he’s no longer on their board?
Yes. A real victory would be if Chief Exec Tim Arthur was removed from the committee. This in no way diminishes the steadfast principled determination of Calvin to hold the RAD to account.
I think our Calvin hits the nail on the head here about the woke pandemic. We’ll have to agree to disagree on the religious bit though.
”Woke culture is unforgiving.
There is no contrition, no repentance, no forgiveness, no absolution.
They live in a state of victimhood because it gives them power.
They paint themselves as the oppressed, while they persecute others.
Forgiveness is the path to holiness.”
Mt 6:14

What “religious bit” are you in disagreement about?
Its foundation in reality?
I speak as a non-believer, by the way, when I ask this question – which was in fact addressed to Mogwai, who I was hoping would answer it. Your reply isn’t really relevant to my question.
That said, it seems odd to me to accuse Robinson of dealing in unreality, when what he’s challenging is the activity of a drag queen – a synthetic creature who trades on deception and the exact opposite of reality. You open a can of worms when you casually bring up the question of reality in today’s weird world…
As I wrote on this DS article about Graham Lineham – he is right they are lunies. “The beliefs of the other side were so insane I thought my friends would quickly realise how crazy it all was and start lending a hand.”
How does one become an anti-luny activist? There are more anti-lunies than lunies.
So how does one name and shame The Royal Academy of Dance and especially named people there who are responsible for doing this crap? Where can this be done? How does it work? How do you beat them at their own game.
And what of Great Ormond Street Hospital [GOSH] which now denies the gender identity of 99.99% of all children by banning the words ‘boy’ and ‘girl’.
So how does one name and shame GOSH and especially named people there who are responsible for doing this crap? Where can this be done? How does it work? How do you beat them at their own game.
The same applies to the UK General Medical Council removing ‘mother’ from staff guidance on maternity.
So how does one name and shame the GMC and especially named people there who are responsible for doing this crap? Where can this be done? How does it work? How do you beat them at their own game.
Did you vote for any of this? Did you like me miss the debate in the UK Parliament? Did you miss the vote too?
Do you know who the trans activists are we so often hear about but never see nor hear their names? Do you know their names? Do you have pictures of them?

I never voted for any of this. When was the UK version debated in the UK Parliament? I seem to have missed that and the vote.
Who are the trans activists we so often hear about but never see nor hear their names? What are their names? Lets see pictures of them.
What I do understand is none of this is about human rights, equality, diversity or human dignity – it is especially against human dignity.
It is all about a relentless destruction of social values to undermine social cohesion in our societies – it is like the preliminary shelling to ‘soften up’ and confuse the defenders before a ground assault in war – a war which is not about gender identity of LGBTQI++ rights – they are the pretext to attack and bombard us to confuse and so destroy social cohesion and thus opposition.
Gender identity, ‘trans rights’ etc are a pretext for this softening up funded by dark money and pursued by anonymous ‘activists’ working against the interests of the majority.
The ground assault will be the removal of all our cherished freedoms and rights that have been hard fought for and won over centuries with the blood and lives of many sacrificed for them.
Living in Bizarro World
“The point of Bizarro World is to make the real world appear so chaotic, so dangerous, so uninhabitable, that we will happily give ourselves over to the Technocrats who promise to make it all better.”
THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE WHICH HAS A RESONANCE REGARDING THE PURPOSE OF AND THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND THE WAY OUR SOCIAL VALUES AND STRUCTURES ARE BEING BROKEN DOWN WITH WOKISM, GENDER ID, LGBTQI+++ ETC:
IT IS THE PARENTS WHO SHOULD BE HELD TO ACCOUNT FIRST. WHY THE HECK WOULD ANY THINKING PERSON TAKE A CHILD TO THESE EVENTS, BEEGGARS BELIEF,
