I think the aim is to normalise paedophilia, I would be unsuprised if sex with children will be legalised withing the next few years, Governments, the legal system and “educators” seem to very much favour it. I wonder how many will be allowed to protest or will big Tech and the media once again fall behind the dogma and claim anyone who does not support love between Adults and Children to be some kind of phobe

That’s the inevitable outcome of attitudes to sex over the last fifty years.
Back to Victorian times, when new little girls in brothels fetched higher prices because they were virgins and couldn’t give clients the clap – though the converse was, of course, not true.

Harriet Harman wrote a paper back in the seventies, which included the proposal to drop the legal age of consent to at least 14 years of age, plus legalise incest.
The radical Left seem to be obsessed with sex. It’s the only thing they’re liberal on.

Back in the 60s, 70s, 80s any young kid hanging round music venues was a target. The teenagers thought they were being cool, the pop groups and hangers on enjoyed their teenage groupies. The Walton hop was bad enough, goodness knows what was going on in London.

The exploitation gig has merely expanded into other cultural groups.

Not only Harman, Patricia Hewitt too. There were posters in some public libraries advertising the Paedophillia Association, later removed. I went to my local library and searched it for these posters with the intention of tearing them down loudly and publicly, but there were none. My children were four and six at the time, and my friends were as outraged as me, especially the fathers. Only public outrage stopped this. But these deviants will never give up.

The left are trying to make paedophillia just another sexual preference, with our children as their prey, and if we don’t make a stand now it will be too late as we’ll be accused of hate crime. Well, I DO hate them, and the only crime about it is letting it happen.

The Paedophil Information Exchange(PIE) was affiliated to the National Council for Civil Liberties for three years while Harriet Harmen, her husband Jack Dromey & Patricia Hewitt held senior positions in the NCCL Harriet Harmen campaigned to reduce the age of consent & resist controls on child pornography. In 1978 Harmen claimed that sex abuse images should be given back to paedophiles by police who had seized them because doing otherwise would be censorship
Today Labour are extremely embarrassed by their association but it seems Drakeford’s Wales is not. Could it be revenge for his son being in prison for a sexual crime?

My friends daughter was asked if she felt safe at school and all the kids had to tick a box stating their choice. Any kid that said that they didn’t feel safe was questioned by the teacher regarding their choice.

How old were these kids, 4 for FFS!! The following week they told these very same kids about how burglars break into houses. Understandably the parents are livid.

Charity in it’s traditional sense is fine, but when it’s corrupted to pay executives of charitable organisations salaries of hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, does that conform to charity?

When even the UN admits that it’s lucky if 50% of it’s charitable donations actually reach the intended victims, the rest going to warlords and corrupt government officials who perpetuate the situation that enrichens them, is that charity?

When, in the interests of charitable kindness people are cancelled from social media, the MSM, their businesses, educational institutions and virtually hounded from public life because they say ‘unkind’ things. Is that charitable?

Charity might be defined as teaching a man to fish, not being compelled or induced to support a useless scrounger in the life to which he has become accustomed and doing the fishing for him.

I agree Annie..people are misunderstanding what you are saying with hindsight as adults……as a child I went to a C of E primary school. We said prayers in assembly and sung hymns…carols in winter, which I loved, and still do. We celebrated in church rarely, I do remember harvest festival, when we all took food in for charities….we had May Day, a May Queen, and a Maypole…it was fantastic fun. I don’t know anyone who went on to be overtly religious, because most of our parents weren’t and I don’t think we felt indoctrinated…but I still believe the things I learned then are important, kindness, politeness, telling the truth, charity to those less fortunate…and inclusivity…before it was fashionable.

Children are “indoctrinated” into all religions, depending on parents, culture country. It’s not just Christianity.
At least Christianity provides a moral framework. It’s the rejection of it that has led to precisely this sort of legislation.

i think the more appropriate word is ‘instructed’ and learning by example. Religious extremism deserves the word indoctrination.

But instruction in religion (is done openly) is not contrary to the socially accepted norms of culture, custom and tradition and in school would not include anything nit taught or observed at home. in addition it is clear that it relies on Faith, not evidence. Faith underpins religion, without it it wouldn’t be religion, and if there were evidence no Faith would be needed.

Indoctrination about climate change, racism/slavery, sex/gender, etc is based in pseudo-science, falsehoods, distortions and selective facts, political ideology presented as if supported by irrefutable evidence. Dissent, searching for alternatives to test the doctrine is nit taught and even forbidden.

It is done clandestinely at school away from parental scrutiny, and being State organised, parents are powerless to challenge it if they even know what the indoctrination is – it can be very subtle, so the child may not be conscious of what is going on.

These lessons can screw up their lives. Young eagle was distraught at the wierdo reactions in the class, left them feeling very uncomfortable, I can only describe it as meeting a flasher / pervert and having to be decompressed from the incident.

Two other parents have described the awful time their children had in the first year of secondary school. Children naturally gravitate to own sex friends as they grow out of primary age. These children interpreted their preference to be with same sex friends to mean they were lesbian / gay or whatever. Having declared this liking to their mates, it blew the friendship circles apart. Trashes your school experience, utterly mortifying when they realise 4 years later. For children, devoid of the critical hormones, the interpretation of the indoctrination lessons means something entirely different!!!

The Fringe Extremists have staged a coup against our entire culture and our stable society. It started with “political Correctness” the forcing of their discourse and narrative onto ordinary people against their own instincts and beliefs. “Covid” now recognised as being a ‘man made’ virus used so effectively to impose blind , unreasoned conformity was followed by the stealing in plain sight of the 2020 US Election.

As Trump said: “It is you they are after , I was just in the way” Their “tanks and guns” are the pernicious Social Media freaks from Silicon Valley backed by megalomaniac Billionaires and allied to any funded fringe extremist movement going, all exploited by Deep State operatives at every turn. Closing down and ‘cancelling’all opposition and forcing their unquestioned Narrative in all things was the objective.

Destruction of the ‘Bourgeois Family’ and family bonds and relationships – including between parent and child – now even challenging biological sexual identity on a universal scale and destabilising even young children into self-doubt – all must take part in their game – has been the objective of Critical Theory and Marxist extremism for 80 years – the silent, stealthy take over of all Institutions, deconstruction of all the shared values of ‘society’ to create chaos and enable Communist dictatorship has been the objective of the founders of Frankfurt School since they were forced out of Nazi Germany and established themselves in the US. The pseudo ‘Green” movement is just another tool Carbon -0 hardly taken seriously outside the writ of “the West:’.

These ‘new’ Marxists are really better defined as Fascists, combining Corporatism with the State, without even the sham of a higher “moral purpose” It is an Empire built on lies and contempt for humanity. It now seeks a Global Government based on tyranny and total repression of the individual through the abuse of technology.

The UK ‘running dog’ has dutifully trotted along behind the increasingly dysfunctional and confused US State in social, cultural and foreign policy for 60 years – if not much longer- Johnson is just the latest actor dutifully following his brief.

I think the number of reasons which would justify sensible parents taking their kids out of school and educating them at home, or setting up their own community schools grow with every passing day.

What they propose is indeed sick. As is much of what is proposed for almost every walk of life under government control these days.

There are some appalling parents; but nobody has the right to assume that parents are bad or inadequate, and that a committee of any sort anywhere should take over matters that should clearly be left to them.

Totalitarians believe that adults have either no capacity or right to make decisions for themselves, or to teach others anything that has not been approved by the state.

There’s a theory that gay people are not usually into sex with children. Yet so-called sex education of them is all they seem to be interested in. And that’s obviously supposed to be same sex sex education. Just to ensure that three year olds don’t form prejudices, y’know, like refusing to have gay sex once they’re of age. That would sort-of limit the pool of people one can in future have relaxing fun with. Which would obviously be very bad.

NB: I’m presumably (and not unhappily) terminally single and childless. But if this was different, I’d advise any primary-school level same sex grooming expert to stay well clear of them in his own, best interest. Some things are not tolerable in a human society.

The drive to sexualise children at an increasingly early age is something that should concern all Adults who are not sexually attracted to children. The Education systems across the western world, supported by politicians and the MSM would appear to favour children barely out of nappies to be inculcated into the world of sex. Why?, That is the question concerned Adults need to be asking of these people, Why does a 3 year old, indeed any child up to the age of 11 need to be instructed in sexual practices. Children need to be left alone, haven’t they suffered enough at the hands of these very same people over the past 2 years plus? Children need to be allowed to be children, to be innocent, to question and explore the world, what they do not need is a group of frankly suspicious Adults in the Education and political world grooming them for sexual practices.
I can only think this is the slow creep to the normalisation of paedophilia by the people who are behind this push.
Time we began to protect our children from those who seek to prey on them in plain site.

Yes indeed, when i was young I seem to remember being interested in Custard, riding my bike through the stream in the local park and swapping things with a mixed group of boys and girls. I do not recall gender coming into our consideration at all, it would have just messed up a very happy childhood. I do not suppose the adults understood what I was doing and I certainly only had a vague understanding of the funny world of adults. You should not impose gender stuff on a 5 year old who is still getting to grips with the mystery of custard!

Eh?

When I was around 4 years old I threw a stone through our downstairs toilet window. My mum rushed out and shouted “Why did you do that?!” and I replied “I felt like it.”

My favourite hobby as a five year old was waiting until my bigger sister went in the garden and then locking the door behind her and laughing hysterically whilst she shouted about how she was going to be late for work. Happiest days ever!

Being fascinated by custard is not as ridiculous as it might sound, as it is a curious non-newtonian liquid;

” But a few liquids behave differently – including custard! Custard is a liquid that doesn’t obey these laws. It’s a rebel liquid, or a non-Newtonian fluid. When a non-Newtonian fluid is put under pressure, sometimes called stress, the molecules lock together and immediately form a temporary solid.”

I would suggest that somehow the curiosity of youth had managed to pick up on this phenomena and aroused my fascination.

Had hours of fun with custard thixotropic mixes over pudding. Also, if you spit back too much saliva on your spoon the custard goes runny, shows the action of amylase enzyme in saliva turning starch to sugar. Biology lesson on top of apple crumble. Bags I get the skin.

I strongly suggest avoiding pseudo-learned terms like child sexualisation. Someone who wants to send dick pics to children is a paedo. It’s really that simple. If that someone’s working for the UNESCO and has a degree in applied, political bullshitting, he’ll be able to come up with a really sophisticated cover story for that, but that’s what it boils down to after the layers upon layers upon layers of false sophistry have been stripped away.

You’re behind the times. The preferred term in academia is “minor-attracted persons.”

Our education authorities seem to be ever more keen to teach children all the things that are most appropriately learnt elsewhere,

But ever less keen on teaching them the things that are best taught in a formal education environment.

If your mindset is total control, it makes sense. We see it more in the US for now. Teachers caught off guard admitting their annoyance that parents wish to shield their 9yo from discussions about gender or sex; what bigots etc.

Groupthink as well as an authoritarian streak is not a good combination. Plus the overall mentality at play seems to be this is all progress. We got the women out of the kitchen and now we are settling scores with the colonists. We can do no wrong since we are morally superior.

Teachers are experts in things like science, art and literature.

Parents are expert in sex, so parents are quite capable of teaching their own children about the reproductive process.

What experience of childbirth does a childless teacher have?

If any of us really governed ourselves the adults with unhealthy interest in children wouldn’t be broadcasting their predilections in quite so confident a fashion. They’d be keeping well out of the way and we all know it.

When I was 9 my mum told me that “Uncle ” Alfred, who had been their (single mother because of abandonment, only child) lodger from when she was 13 until she was 19 or 20, didn’t like women.

I was puzzled by this: my mum was a woman and he clearly wasn’t faking his pleasure whenever he saw her.

I can’t believe I’d have been happier or better off knowing about homosexuality.

My mother delicately explained the Birds and the Bees to me when I was about 7 years old. When she finished she asked if I had any questions.

“Just one” I said “Is that what they call fucking?”

It was one of Mum’s party stories for many years.

The left are utterly obsessed with teaching kids about sex.

How many hundreds of billions of people have magically produced offspring on planet earth, over tens of thousands of years, barely any of them with the ‘benefit’ of instruction on what to do, how to do it and who to do it to?

The single most basic instinct man has other than personal survival, and the left think they can improve on it.

This is exactly what’s been going on in America, with the sexualisation of very young children. Ron Desantis brought in legislation in Florida which is the exact opposite of what the radical Left Welsh government are trying to do. Even Democrats oppose this, and support Desantis’ bill.

We all knew this sort of thing was present in schools already, but this puts it into law, and is a precursor to making paedophilia legal, which seems to be a goal of the radical Left.

The parents absolutely must fight back against it, and if necessary, a complete boycott of all schools until this legislation is withdrawn.

Here in Bristol, the ‘Family Sex Show’ at the Tobacco Factory was cancelled due to protests. Reported in Bristol Post and BBC.

The BBC said, “A sex education theatre show aimed at children has been cancelled after the venue said it had received “unprecedented threats and abuse“.

Are they charging others with the very actions they are perpetrating – unprecedent abuse towards young kids of 5 years old?

Kids under 10 don’t need to be educated/indoctrinated about sexual matters but some of the comments about this article stink of the same prurient vicarious joy that pedo hunters exhibit in their alleged actions on behalf of the moral majority and clearly don’t hold sway in society given the sentences handed out to loners who peruse online images but aren’t real life abusers. I am not excusing anything but an international jet set pedo cabal is surely pure conspiracy theory – Epstein’s victims were hardly primary school kids and anyone with half a brain cell instinctively knew Savill was dodgy.

Careful. He was VERY good friends with quite a few members of the royal family. There still exists the hand written letters he and the future king used to exchange, where Sir Jimmy used to advise the future monarch on how to handle his marriage.

Nothing new under the Sun.

Normalisation of pædophila has been tried before.

‘The Paedophile Information Exchange was affiliated to the National Council for Civil Liberties – now Liberty – in the late 1970s and early 1980s. But how did pro-paedophile campaigners operate so openly?
A gay rights conference backs a motion in favour of paedophilia. The story is written up by a national newspaper as “Child-lovers win fight for role in Gay Lib”.
It sounds like a nightmarish plotline from dystopian fiction. But this happened in the UK. The conference took place in Sheffield and the newspaper was the Guardian. The year was 1975.’
