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.”

Paragraphs 61 and 76, dealing with the powers they want to give themselves, are particularly disturbing.

• seize and detain or remove anything which the officer reasonably believes to be evidence of any contravention relevant to the purpose for which entry is authorised.”

Trump now stunningly promises a whole lot of immigrants… (substack.com)
“Trump: “We’re going to let a lot of people come in, because we need more people, especially with AI coming and all the different things. And the farmers need, everybody needs but we’re going to make sure they’re not murderers and drug dealers…”

Let’s hope so! And may I point out that the UK Sentencing Council guidelines recommend
THREE YEARS IN PRISON
FOR KNOWINGLY ENTERING THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.
So no more brand new furniture and brand new homes for these criminals, but fast-tracked straight to prison for three years each, suspended forever with immediate deportation to the Third World country of their choice. No appeals, no taxpayers’ money for lawyers, just fast-tracked like Starmer is fast-tracking British Patriots.
