The Home Office is considering allowing teachers to report sexist comments by teenage boys to Prevent, the U.K.’s anti-terrorism programme. The Mail on Sunday has the scoop.
Even comments about a “woman’s place being in the kitchen” could be enough to spark a referral to the unit, sources said last night.
Critics say the move would dilute Prevent’s work in deradicalising potential terrorists at a time of huge global tensions.
The plan – which would place sexism on a par with Islamic extremism – was discussed in high-level meetings between Home Office and Prevent experts in recent weeks. The Home Office is looking at widening the Prevent programme to combat growing misogyny among teenagers, fuelled by vile social media influencers such as Andrew Tate, but some civil servants warn the plans risk reducing the anti-radicalisation unit to becoming “a wing of social services”.
One Prevent source said last night: “Lots of young boys hold extreme sexist views about girls, which teachers will hear and make referrals. This will then overload the system, and Prevent will not be able to concentrate on Islamist or far-Right extremism.”
Last year, a highly-critical Government report accused Prevent of a “loss of focus” and warned the public were increasingly at risk because the body had become distracted by far-Right and mental health cases rather than concentrating on Islamists.
Leading terrorism experts cautioned against the plans last night. …
Lord Carlile of Berriew, the former Independent Reviewer of Counter-Terror Legislation, warned that Prevent should not police misogynistic thoughts. …
“Prevent is not there for every expression of a thought that might be misogynistic. Prevent is a counter-terrorism measure, not a counter-extremism measure, so if cases are going to be referred to Prevent, they have to be of quite a high level.”

Breaking news! Someone is said to have had sex with someone else 450 years ago!!
Student drehte sich versehentlich selber durch den Fleischwolf! BILD sprach zuerst mit der Frikadelle!!
The relevant question is who funded him and why. Epstein clearly didn’t have the wealth to cavort on endless private jets to secret desert Islands. That’s a level of wealth few ppl on earth enjoy. Now why would someone want compromising pics of the rich, powerful and famous, avd who were they?
Exactly! And this question is not being addressed.
It’s a bit late to address this question. Epstein is dead. Those of his former buddies who aren’t also dead are either well into retirerment age or quickly approaching it. A much more interesting question would be “Who is doing this now and together with whom?” as someone certainly is. A good starting point would be these COP happenings of the climate change jet set. Or MPs flying to Caribbean holiday destinations to study the effects of climate change. That this involves making intimate acquaintance of some member of the local population can pretty much be taken for granted.
Of course, this revelation is important. But I always ask myself, if the mainstream media are saying “look at this!”, what do they want to distract me from at this particular point in time?
Dead guy reportedly claimed other dead guy had at least once sex someone! US state laws might have been broken!!
What’s to be done about this? Exhume a few corpses and burn them at the stake?
In my humble job I have to declare any ‘gifts’ I may receive which may leave me vulnerable to the company’s ‘Bribery & Corruption’ declaration.
These gifts might normally be a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine at Xmas from grateful customers.
If I had been entertained at Mr Epsteins expense and had possibly been entrapped in a compromising position I could be wide open to B&C.
If I was a captain of industry I dread to think how that would influence my decision making.
I sort of agree but on the other hand these lefties screwing around are utterly authoritarian. It jars with me that they are trying to remove our comforts in life, cars, boilers meat, whilst they bone teenage girls.
That’s probably God’s punishment for their sins. I’m often glad that I’m no longer of an age where I have to deal with teenage girls.

On a more serious note, rich man has sex with much younger women is a really hackneyed trope (or would be if it was). This has always been happening and it will always be happening. Moreover, the number of men who’d mindlessly switch into shag now ask question later (if at all) mode if they only had such an opportunity is certainly anything but small.
A story from the UK from some years ago I remember was about a guy who had hooked up with a girl while standing next to her in a taxi queue. Later, he broke down in tears in court and swore he was totally convinced that she must have been sixteen. But her parents thought she was twelve. Nevertheless, due to this impressive performance, he got away with a better slap on the wrist punishment. Or the maths teacher who fled to France with a 14 or 15 year old pupil of his and got caught while looking for cash-in-hand jobs in hospitality venues.
The world could do with a lot less hypocrisy in this area.
If Bill Gates doesn’t feature in this list then I think we all know what’s really going on here.
They released some of the names because Drumpf was on the list.
No Drumpf, no release of names.
How does the guy in a wheelchair with head tilted to the side participate in an orgy?
What does that say about ‘science’ and the fakery of Hawking’s philosophies?

A worrying development if the mRNA shyte becomes the default carrier for ALL drugs.
”Stephen Hawking” and ”orgy” in the same sentence though… Well there’s a first time for everything, I s’pose. Haters can add ”ableist” to my long list of attributes now…..
Well, he did appear to smile a lot.
I’m probably going to hell for that.
Hi Mogs, am I the only one who thought he was laying it on a bit thick with the funny voice and the wheelchair, I could be wrong.
The downvote – someone who hasn’t grasped humour yet. No hope for that one.
I always used to think he was American when I was a kid because of that voice.
But what I’m really wondering now is if there was any truth in the ‘naked dwarfs doing equations on a blackboard’ rumour…
The back-pedalling is a joy to behold. We should award a prize to the lamest excuse of why they happened to be visiting Epstein.
I hadnt heard of Dershowitz before but have heard his name twice in two days!. He’s the Defence Attorney for the lawsuit South Africa is bringing against Netanyahu’s government for the genocide in Gaza.
As always with a story like this, look for what they may be trying to distract you from
Two words…Limited Hangout
Where’s the curse of the Clinton’s when you need someone erased?
Not working too well now is it Bill? As it sounds like Ms. Sjoberg, & Ms. Giuffres would be prime targets for a bit of silencing.
