Stockport “Ethnic Diversity Service” Pushing Open Borders Dogma on Schoolchildren

Welcome to Stockport, where the council's "Ethnic Diversity Service" is busy turning schools into open-border fan clubs with bilingual assistants, cultural talks and Ramadan guides.

3 min read

In my last Daily Sceptic article I wrote about how a “Schools of Sanctuary” scheme is bringing US open borders into UK schools.

Today I will show readers even more evidence of open borders being promoted in the classroom via Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council.

Stockport has already committed to being a “City of Sanctuary” and recently took part in Refugee Week, “the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary”.

Sanctuary schemes are spearheaded by the charity ‘City of Sanctuary UK’, which is funded by organisations including the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, a trust which explicitly believes in open borders.

Being a “City of Sanctuary” is just the start of Stockport’s efforts to welcome new arrivals though. 

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council also has its own “Ethnic Diversity Service” (which I shall refer to as SEDS).

The service addresses a reality laid out on SEDS’ X page; the fact that almost “one-third of nursery-age children use English as an additional language”.

Far from this being a source of concern or a sense that this is parents’ issue to address, Stockport Council sees it as its job to help.

Accordingly, SEDS offers a large range of EAL (English as a second language) support to schools, including “specialist teachers” and “a large bank of trained bilingual assistants”. One type of expert is an “Ethnic Minority Achievement (EMA) specialist teacher” who, among other things, provides “direct support to new arrivals”.

SEDS also provides “

Yet more areas where a Reform government can cut the waste of taxpayers money.

Excellent investigative journalism by Charlotte Gill.

Look closely at the photo of “diversity” above, and see how the Ethnic African boy has his arms around two Ethnic European girls, grasping their waists with his hands, while the Ethnic African girl is grasping the shoulders of an Ethnic Oriental boy and the Only Ethnic European boy, neither of whom want to grab her waist.

See the sad eyes above the smile of the Ethnic European boy, wishing he weren’t being forced to participate in this cringeworthy charade.

The image at the top of the article:

See the arrogant assumption of superiority of the White, blond-haired, blue-eyed male towering over the other children. Disgusting, I call it.

“Why are they participating in these schemes?” “Why don’t they want voters to know about them”?

Because if it were made widely known from the get-go, it would be met with swift opposition and the level of parental intervention and complaints about their child’s “education” would be prohibitive to the progress of these schemes.

They would rather weasel their way into children’s minds like a Trojan Horse… under the radar.

If voters did know, for whom would they vote?

What also worries me is the failure of SEDS to use punctuation correctly. What hope do the non-English speakers have if those “helping” them with language can’t use it properly themselves.

Aren’t we all sick and tired of these oxymoronic euphemisms telling us how positive and progressive these schemes and people are?
reality is, they are nothing more than DEI and pro Islam projects in our country funded by us.
time for a revolutionary approach to exposing and dismantling this new age ponzu scheme benefiting only the pink hair far left people.

Here is a list. I wonder when Southport will be added, and I wonder how the surviving 8 little girls and 2 adults are recovering from being stabbed by the Ethnic African Muslim Convert Terrorist. There has been no news of them at all. Only the 3 murdered girls are ever mentioned in the media, and then only briefly, as if in passing.

Keep it up!!!! We need you to expose these Ponzi schemes – keeping the dei scam on the government payroll means we are all fleeced for their dirty work. Imagine teaching multi faith students just about Islam and Ramadan?
interpreters for mothers?
I want some french lessons too!!!

State education should only be in English except obviously for the teaching of French, Spanish or latin

Everything should be… if you can’t speak the language, bring someone who can.

Or…If you can’t speak the language, what are you doing here on welfare benefits and free stuff, which no British people ever receive abroad?

To be able to speak English is a life advantage the world over, let alone living and operating in the UK. So to refrain from challenging a child, educated in the UK, to speak and learn English, is to diminish their chances of success later in life. The “diversity” contagion has a lot to answer for.

They should stick these male migrants in the more affluent areas with the most Labour voters. It’d be the best ‘red pill’ they could possibly get. And big respect to this hotel for standing firm and opposing this BS that no sane person wants.

”The Home Office is reviewing at least 13 sites for asylum housing in Norfolk as of August 2025, with major changes underway. The most urgent issue centers on the Park Hotel in Diss, where the Home Office plans to replace 80 current residents—mostly women and children who have lived there for two years—with single adult male asylum seekers. This sudden move has sparked protests, strong opposition from hotel management, and urgent talks between South Norfolk Council and the Home Office.

The Park Hotel case highlights the broader changes in how the Home Office manages asylum housing in Norfolk. In July 2025, the Home Office notified the hotel and local council of its intention to move families out and bring in single men. The hotel’s management responded by refusing to comply, stating they would rather close than force families to leave. Local authorities were not consulted in advance, leading to urgent discussions and public outcry. As of… Read more »

An informative 8min video of Charlotte expanding on this subject, including looking at what a school has to do in order to become a ‘School of Sanctuary’;

Where are the current women and children who have been in this hotel for 2 years going to be dumped? Women and children 1st clearly no longer applies. Shameful.

One of the reason for your problems is that you apparently just can stop blaming long dead and defeated Germans for them.

We’re living in the world the united forces of liberalism and communism have created. Routine poisoning of women to render them infertile and thus, greatly increase their lifetime economic value for others was an American innovation. The side-effects of that begat the notion of replacement migration to keep the European cash cow alive despite its dwindling native population. And that’s what’s celebrated above. Your very own hell, where each part is exactly as you intentionally designed and build it for yourself. Only the blame can’t be yours. Bring on those dead Germans who made you do it once again!

None of us here “intentionally designed and built” any of this, nor do we “blame dead Germans”.
