I have written previously about the prevalence of woke ideology in schools, notably the promotion of intersectionality via the teaching and promotion of Critical Race Theory. Over the last year, I have been monitoring a peculiar element to this ideological trend that is gaining traction: a pro-refugee movement called Schools of Sanctuary, which is effectively the education wing of the City of Sanctuary movement and whose overall objective is political and cultural change to facilitate pro-refugee policies and legislation. Aside from GB News’s coverage in October 2023, which involved Nigel Farage reporting on it, and Toby Young’s commentary in episode 59 of the Weekly Sceptic, there has been limited scrutiny of it. There is evidence that this organisation, either directly or indirectly, politicises education under the facade of charity. In doing so, it places schools in breach of existing legislation and guidance and undermines political impartiality.
The requirements and obligations of schools when dealing with political issues are quite clear. Section 406 of the Education Act 1996 forbids the “pursuit of partisan political activities” and the “promotion of partisan political views”. However, according to section 407 of the Education Act 1996, controversial political topics can be taught provided they are done so in a balanced way. The Department of Education’s guidance on political impartality in schools published 2022 recognises that pupils should have “an understanding and respect for legitimate differences of opinion”. It reaffirms the Education Act 1996 by stating schools “must prohibit the promotion of partisan political views” and insists pupils be given a “balanced presentation of opposing views on political issues”.
The 2022 guidance also draws on the definition of “partisan” as established by Dimmock v Secretary of State for Education and Skills (2007) and defines partisan activities as “one-sided” with the intent to “further the interests of a particular partisan group, change the law or change government policy”. Rather importantly within the context of this article, the 2022 guidance also recognises that charitable organisations can be politically partisan. Schools of Sanctuary tries to justify some of its political activism by invoking the Equality Act 2010. While that legislation means it is unlawful for a school to discriminate against its staff or pupils on the basis of their “protected characteristics”, it does not oblige schools to actively campaign for a political cause. And some of the aims, ideological foundations and resources of Schools of Sanctuary, and the behaviour of those schools that have engaged with the organisation, appear to be in breach of the Education Act 1996 and the 2022 guidance.
The background of some of City of Sanctuary and Schools of Sanctuary’s trustees and the content of its materials and resources suggest a political objective and an adherence to identity politics. The trustees of City of Sanctuary include the chair, Yusuf Ciftci, who completed a PhD on immigration policy and the ways to influence changes in said policy. Much of this appears to have influenced the general strategy of City of Sanctuary. One of the trustees, Alice Mpofu-Coles, has been a Labour councillor for Whitley Ward, Reading, since 2021. She describes herself as “a passionate advocate for social justice” and a “tireless activist”. She is also a trustee of Alliance for Cohesion and Racial Equality Ltd, a charity that aims to address “imbalances in power and bring about change founded on social justice, equality and inclusion”.
According to its trustees’ report of 2022, City of Sanctuary is seeking “big political change” and intends to build a “strong and widespread movement” that will “translate into public support for changes in policy and practice”. With a General Election just a few weeks away, there is an opportunity for City of Sanctuary and Schools of Sanctuary to pursue that objective. The Illegal Migration Act 2023, in particular, is being targeted by City of Sanctuary and Schools of Sanctuary, as demonstrated by School of Sanctuary’s “useful” General Election door hanger, which urges people to repeal the Act. These aims clearly point to a political objective and thereby run counter to the Department of Education’s 2022 guidance.
An ideological imbalance in Schools of Sanctuary is implicit elsewhere in its literature and resources. A resource pack from Schools of Sanctuary suggests as much as it says there is an “increasingly hostile environment for people seeking sanctuary in the U.K., feeding anti-immigrant sentiment, racism”. Elsewhere on its website, Schools of Sanctuary claims there is “widespread hostile – and often inaccurate – rhetoric in the public and in the media driving increasingly cruel immigration policies and encouraging attitudes of distrust and hate”. It asserts “the challenges that people who are seeking sanctuary experience often intersect with racism”. This organisation seems to think immigration can only ever be positive and beneficial. Any concerns, criticism, challenge or opposition to immigration are by implication racist and unjustified.
Such beliefs inevitably necessitate a filtering of factual evidence. With the upcoming General Election, Schools of Sanctuary has issued guidance on having “courageous conversations” as part of its push to get people to “step up” This guidance states it “isn’t about debating the other person” and instead emphasises the strategy of emotional persuasion, of encouraging individuals to “speak from the heart” rather than relying on facts. This is a convenient strategy to use with many children, since it dispenses with the need to find, analyse and evaluate tangible evidence. This is essentially derived from the concept of “lived experience” and avoids the troublesome problem of contending with data which does not fit an established narrative.
And where Schools of Sanctuary does stoop to mentioning facts, it does so selectively. Take, for example, the assertion that asylum seekers only receive £49.18 per week which “must cover all food, transport, hygiene items, phone data and clothing”. To be sure, this specific figure is not incorrect. But it certainly lacks context and overlooks a considerable number of other facts, such as the ability of refugees to access Universal Credit, Child Benefit (both of which can be backdated to the date of an asylum claim) and NHS services with free prescriptions and dental care. None of this is mentioned by Schools of Sanctuary and it is not surprising since recognising such facts would undermine the organisation’s agenda. Besides not being objective and impartial, this filtering of information is not exactly consistent with City of Sanctuary’s self-proclaimed belief in “high standards of honesty and behaviour” either.
This intellectually myopic approach is reinforced through the accreditation process which the organisation has developed. Schools of Sanctuary recognises that schools can be used as training camps for producing generations of social justice activists. To that end, it takes a leaf out of Stonewall and the Carbon Literacy Project’s book by accrediting schools which comply with its criteria and objectives. One of the stages of this process is an audit tool, which is a self-assessment document containing a long list of criteria and demands which a school must meet to gain accreditation. Staff must log evidence in this document and compile a portfolio ahead of an inspection from a representative from Schools of Sanctuary. During an inspection, Schools of Sanctuary evaluate this evidence and interview staff and pupils. If a school is deemed compliant, then accreditation is awarded and it can then officially advertise itself as a “School of Sanctuary”.
This audit tool, as indicated in criterion 1.5, draws on some of the core concepts of critical social justice ideology, such as “anti-racism” and “unconscious bias”. The influence of Critical Race Theory is evidenced elsewhere in Schools of Sanctuary materials; its website, for example, says “white people who are privileged can safely stand up to racism”. A resource pack asserts it has never “been more apparent that every school should work towards becoming actively anti-racist” and says schools managers should be “ensuring staff and students engage with anti-racist learning and activities”. Complying with these diktats is required if a school is to be accredited as a “School of Sanctuary”.
So far, this article has primarily looked at the intentions of Schools of Sanctuary and suggested it has clear political and ideological objectives, contravening key impartiality rules, as set out in legislation and official guidance. The question remains, however, whether any of this has succeeded in embedding itself in schools and whether teachers have begun to serve Schools of Sanctuary’s political interests, and in doing so violated the law.
Within my own school, which has ambitions of gaining Schools of Sanctuary accreditation, pressure has been exerted on pupils to support the charity’s political objectives. This has, for now, principally been done by getting them to write messages of support on large paper orange hearts, which are then pinned up around the school. These messages typically demand “action for refugees”. There are, however, plans to use PSHE and morning registration to promote ideas from Schools of Sanctuary. The school email system has been used to encourage staff to attend pro-refugee protests, and managers have begun to demand heads of department produce evidence showing they are compliant with Schools of Sanctuary’s requirements. I have raised concerns about the breaching of political impartiality rules at the highest level but so far have been ignored.
There are signs that other schools are embracing the political activism of Schools of Sanctuary. Evidence from a newsletter produced by Birmingham Schools and Colleges of Sanctuary in March this year indicates some teachers are providing pupils with a decidedly unbalanced treatment of the issue of immigration and asylum. In one school, “pupils studied the shocking findings in a recent report from Asylum Matters and used their maths skills to present the information”. They also “heard about the Lift The Ban campaign”, which aims to make it legally possible for asylum applicants to work while waiting for those applications to be processed. In the same region, schools were running “days of action” in which academic subjects were being set aside so pupils and staff could engage in activism for refugees. One school was reported to have “embarked on a journey of activism” which involved pupils writing to various public figures. In the process, pupils “gained a deeper understanding of social justice issues”. Similar activism has emerged elsewhere, such as a primary school where “pupils were so outraged when they learned how little money asylum-seekers received”. Other schools have made a point of taking to social media to post videos calling on MPs to “oppose the anti-refugee bill”. All this ties in with Schools of Sanctuary’s suggestion in its resource pack that schools should establish lunch time clubs to “campaign for refuges and asylum seekers’ rights” and encourage pupils to work with activist groups like Right to Remain. Besides the fact that academic subjects are potentially being set aside, this all suggests some schools are not providing a balanced treatment of a controversial political issue.
How much of a problem is this? According to the Schools of Sanctuary website, the total number of schools involved is approximately 400. There are some 32,163 schools in the U.K., which would mean Schools of Sanctuary has infiltrated just 1.24% of all schools. Hardly a majority, but still a concern as the organisation is gaining momentum, with 2023 seeing 140 schools signing up. That’s a 55% increase compared to 2022 and there’s obviously time for the organisation to spread its influence across our schools.
However, the problem is more significant than the statistical evidence suggest. Thomas Sowell noted that modern teaching practice increasingly emphasises the venting of emotions over conventional intellectual methods and guides students to “prepackaged conclusions”. In other words, children are not taught essential critical thinking skills and are not encouraged to think independently; they are in effect indoctrinated. Following GB News’s report, Schools of Sanctuary issued a response in which it stated it was “proud” of those schools that had already signed up for the initiative. In its response, Schools of Sanctuary claimed it does “not promote a political perspective”. Quite how this sits with the desire for “big political change” referred to in the trustees’ report is unclear.
With the influence of Schools of Sanctuary, schools are potentially overstepping legal and ethical boundaries by facilitating pupils’ conversion into political activists who perhaps do not appreciate that alternative, equally legitimate points of view exist. This is concerning, irrespective of whether the intention is to build a “culture of kindness and compassion”. The question remains as to whether Schools of Sanctuary will try to further use the education system to promote its political cause. School governors, senior managers, the Charity Commission and the Department for Education ought to be scrutinising organisations like Schools of Sanctuary more closely if schools are to comply with their legal obligation to be politically impartial. And those who are running schools and choosing to overlook this significant issue should be held accountable.

Yeah, well, why don’t they do down to Duckett’s Common on Turnpike Lane and see how many whites are playing pickup basketball on the courts there? Though to be fair in recent years the Eastern Europeans have been present there too. Not too many White English though. Or Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace in Shepherd’s Bush on a Saturday night.
If I were black I reckon I’d think this lot are patronising gits telling me what I should and should not spend my leisure time and money on.
I see nobody’s decided to pick on skiing yet though.
Not only are the slopes the wrong colour and should come with a trigger warning, but I’ve never seen any black people skiing. Therefore, skiing is a racist sport undertaken by white supremacists. 
Also, I’m frankly amazed the woketard lunatics haven’t decided to persecute farmers further and declare farming a profession rife with racism, ergo farmers are white oppressors, because when’s the last time you saw a black farmer?
I can’t see this woke mind virus going anywhere, unfortunately. It’s going to be with us to infinity and beyond.
The idea that every group, sub-group etc has to be equally represented everywhere at all times is so obviously moronic that you’d think even the most idiotic of useful idiots would see through it.
And just a reminder that it is entirely possible to be black and racist. You reading this, Hardliner??
”Julius Malema has repeatedly called for the genocide of the 4 million Whites living in South Africa.
Malema could very possibly be elected as Prime Minister in a few months.
Zero international outrage.”
https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1754911641789956447
But then there is the enforced daily menu of DEI driven twee adverts – equally moronic
Well of course whites, especially non-camp white males, are grossly under-represented now in TV commercials. But the traitors responsible will justify this “because racism”.
See my comment later here. Racist is meaningless in law. Ergo there cannot be racism whatever one may say or do. Those often calling white people racist are wasting their breath, but of course the left lap it up!
The %age of black and Asian persons in the UK population is 13% and that is a ratio of 1:7.7. It is wrong to suggest that the numbers are in some way skewed to show a white supremacy – there is a white supremacy in numbers. As an ex farmer, I did not see any interest in agriculture by minority ethnic groups in the same way that rap singers are normally black not white.
I am fed up seeing every advertisment or hoarding showing a disproportionate number of minority ethnic groups being used which indicates a much higher %age of these groups in British society. Try asking random friends their estimate of the %age of black and Asian persons in the British population, you will be astonished by their incorrect answers.
Incidentally, I have stopped our annual subscriptions to the National Trust and RSPCA about 3 years ago when I saw the way their woke doctrines were being rolled out. Both are member organisations and that is the way to ‘hurt’ them and make them think again about their ideologies which do not represent many of their members
“Try asking random friends their estimate of the %age of black and Asian persons in the British population, you will be astonished by their incorrect answers.”
I believe that is part of the intention- to normalise something that will eventually happen
This heavily depends on where you are. The people who commission this kind of programming live in cities and most of them, probably in London. Hence, all their adverts show „real Londoners“ according to a subjective sampling made when occasionally walking around in Westminster and Camden¹.
¹ On Saturdays, Camden High Street is absolutely stuffed with stalls where black and brown people sell all kinds of crud and many of their customers are from the same ethnicities. Walking there has a decidedly Tourist in some third-world country feel to it.
There is the London centric aspect but I feel it has more to do with ESG, wokery and making sure they can never be accused of racism, so they go overboard with making sure there are plenty of minorities and blacks.
You will hardly ever see a TV advert with 5 white people in it, even though statistically this would be very likely if the actors in the ad were chosen at random. ——-But ofcourse they are not chosen at random. Tere a TV period drama called Bridgerton. The producers were asked why there were so many black people in it when there were not many black people (if any) around at that time. They replied that their casting as “colour blind”—-So does this mean they would have no problem casting George Clooney as Nelson Mandela?
Obviously not. That would require their casting to be white-blind which it certainly isn’t.
Yes and it shows the absurdity of the social engineering going on where TV dramas, adverts etc are used to stuff minorities everywhere for political purposes. – Can we not even be free of diversity politics in our entertainment ? ——Apparently not.
There is but one – The Black Farmer (theblackfarmer.com)
“The country’s green spaces are governed by “white British cultural values”, the report argues”
I should damned well hope so.
Until recently the United Kingdom was white and Christian and the last thing we need are more overtly melanin supplied islamic foreigners with no roots in this land dictating a la the khant how our countryside should be governed.
You’ve got to wonder about the pitiful individuals who presented these conclusions. They are presumably just useful idiots, but what a way to spend your time. They need to find a less depressing hobby, like sex, drugs or rock’n’roll. Anything to stop them doing so much good!
tof, I have one word for the treasonous barstewards pushing this crap although good manners dictates I use two :
Next Tuesdays.
Yup. I just cannot fathom it – what possesses them? I will never understand it. The big fish I can sort of understand – money and power are attractive in their way. But getting off on self-flagellation or flagellating others working for these charities? Just crazy. We visit lots of old buildings and always chat to the volunteers who are sort of guides and security people rolled into one – all enthusiasts giving up their time who love our history. I’d walk out if I were them and my organisation was run by this kind of dregs.
Totally agree.
I work as a volunteer Dry Stone Waller. I do hard physical labour building and repairing some of the 180,000 miles of dry stone walls that decorate these beautiful islands. I love this country, our landscape and our heritage. I am white and Christian and the firkin treasonous heathens despoiling these lands have no right to remain here.
The landscapes of the United Kingdom have been shaped by our white, Christian ancestors and I am exceedingly proud of what they have given us. Those that wish to mock and deride their achievements can just F. Off.
“I work as a volunteer Dry Stone Waller.”
Good on yer, mate.
I kind of get people coming here from crap countries looking for an easier or better life. What I don’t get is our fellow native Brits who seem to want to drag our country down.
Thanks tof.
Good on you Hux. I did a dry stone walling course a while back, its fecking hard work.
Where did you do the course WW?
In the West Country. Lots of limestone walls hereabouts.
Brilliant. Good on you.
There are just not enough rice paddies in Essex, and scarcely a digging-stick to be seen in Herefordshire. And why are re re-wilding with white British beavers when Salisbury ||Plain could be full of colourful Bison hunts?
Yes white is the new green, but what they really want is 50 shades of brown…
I can only recommend these people take a leaf out of Midsomer Murders book, where it went from 100% Caucasian to culturally enriched over the course of 2 episodes. Something to aspire to there then…
I think it is a silly point because you can’t expect black people to feel the same resonance for the European countryside as white people. If you think that then you don’t ken the differences between the races. And it isn’t because of an anti-black attitude in the countryside or because of a feeling of being threatened. It is deeply ingrained in us. Imagine you moved to live in the amazon. Do you think you would have the same connection to the land as the natives do? Of course not their connection would be beyond our understanding. As if you can catch up by being there for a couple of generations or reading a few books. That is an arrogant position.
What if we planted some palm trees..?
There are lots of palm trees in Reading, eg, on a windy night just north of the Forbury (park).
“suggesting that the Government create a “legally binding target for access to nature”, possibly by ensuring everyone has a green space within a 15-minute walk from their home.”
“A 15 minute walk from their home”
I seem to vaguely remember ’15 minute walks from home’ cropping up as part of another agenda recently. Obviously I am becoming confused.
Silly me.
That’s what you would call des Pudels Kern¹ in German. The sole point of this load of tosh is to trick the government/ MPs into creating the first legally binding 15 minute something.
¹ Literallty, the core of the poodle, after the opening scene of Faust I, where Mephistofeles (the devil) initially appears as poodle before turning into himself.
Thanks for that RW.
Sock puppet consultancy.
Marxists who’ve infiltrated these greenist charities tell woke politicians what they want to hear.
Anyone who donates to these organisations hates England.
Donations to charities are just secondary taxation for the gullible.
And where the aforementioned charidees are mentioned the donations are treasonous.
Any charity supposedly responsible for British national heritage, the countryside or anything similar making political statemens of this kind should be lined up in a public place and then summarily executed as the shell of the former charity has obviously been secretly been invaded by enemies of Britain and the British people who killed the real charity in the process.
Seconded
“This is such a classic example of Western self-hatred.”
The people espousing the racialisation of everything and now including the very land from which we were born need forcibly exporting to somewhere like Burma or Afghanistan. Somewhere thoroughly alien to their very beings and from which they will be told there is no return. Let them racialise their new countryside and see if their politics hits a nerve with their new neighbours.
I confidently predict none of them will reach pension age.
The countryside is open to everyone. I used to visit Windsor Great Park regularly (when my ex lived there), and at a weekend there were so many visitors of all ages, shapes and ethnicities. There were usually quite a few Asian families. It’s not like anyone is being excluded.
It seems like yet another of those ‘solutions’ in search of an actual problem.
Ah – those were Asian families adopted into whiteness…
Not “adopted” Jon – in the language du jour ….Radicalised.
I think the phrase is ‘white adjacent’ – and thus equally condemned.
I visited the beach at West Wittering last year, and thought I was in Bombay or Pakistan.
There are indeed barely any Asians and Blacks one encounters inland in West Sussex, and I have come to appreciate that and find it just as normal as constantly bumping into them on the North End Road.
But the ones who do live there are very valuable and much appreciated, hard working and fully integrated members of the local community.
This is such a classic example of Western self-hatred.
This is absolutely incorrect and – in fact – a symptom of having been sucessfully brainwashed to at least some degree. These people hate us — white Europeans with a European cultural background they’re proud and not ashamed of. They don’t hate themselves.
It is a pity that black people are penned up in cities because we don’t get a lot of Vitamin D at the best of times and that meagre amount is likely to dimish subtantially over the next twenty years barring a pole shift then who knows. Black people who work in offices have a very hgh incidence of cancer and of course this is a result of Vitamin D deficiency. If you want a star to steer by I would aim at maximum sunlight and Vitamin D. We can go hard on the sun worship.
I always take extra vitamin D in winter (despite being milk bottle pale), and I don’t understand why it isn’t general advice for everyone.
I agree although there are immense complexities in defining what Vitamin D actually is. Critics of supplementation argue that the chemical that is put into supplements is actually the residue of an action of sunlight on the skin. That they aren’t capturing a beneficial substance but rather a reaction. This idea is not without merit if you look at the supposed action of Vitamin D. We use rough terms to describe forces within our reality and I think we are approaching the first step which is humility It is the only way just to say that you know nothing. It can’t be taught but every soul realises it in the end. As long as you are attuned as a human being to see that we are under a serious ongoing attack and you understand the parameters of the enemy.
Because brazenly Hancock lied in Parliament, during Covid, that it was ineffective. And yet he backtracked enough to issue too little, too late, in the winter of 20-21 to the elderly.
No science, no consistency, and much government disinformation.
It puts itself in different garb throughout the centuries but its the same old force. Look at our times and what has been robbed from us in terms of the beauty of the moment. It wishes to continue this agenda so that life being so denuded that one way or another you will kill yourself. This is not a natural situation and we have a duty to overcome it.If we don’t overcome it then they will move towards even more radical action in terms of our elimination.
In terms of banking cycles and the ‘inflate or die mentality’ we are at the end of it. This is a very dangerous point. Very little we can do on a national level. You can have a deposit guarantee scheme but what does it matter when you can inflate to infinity and they will. This really is where we are. So rich or poor we have to accept certain truths as a society and that means bridging the gulf that operned up in the early 1980s in the British people. You don’t have the luxury of dividing people up.
It means ‘Happy Days’ communities. Find some old woman in your circle, set up up as the matriarch – doesn’t matter what she’s like she is just a symbol for now we can deal with her later. I mean look at the community in The WIcker Man. They were portrayed as essentially criminals. All they were doing was practicing their ancient rites. And as Christopher L:ee said to Edward Mcallum – you will never understand the spirit of sacrifice. It isn’t a horror to be burned in the wicker man it is in fact a privilege.
British Advertising is a racist and heterophobic black space.
Which is why I completely ignore it.
Yup on the rare occasions we have live telly on the sound is immediately muted and we look away from the screen
Repulsive
Whenever I see something like this, I’m always wondering why black people would buy all this stuff. Eg, to use a current example from the Oracle “Wear heels with your hoodie!”. Well, if that’s your “culture”, why not?
You need to set up a proper old woman. Some really raddled old bag that speaks unexpected truths. And from that point you can start to rebuild.
We are moving into a year with no hope for our people. No vision, no end to the torture of rising prices, no sense of any alternative. If you are a serious person then you need to be aware of these things. These polite chats that we have here won’t last forever. We have to put the spirit of the country first and that means uniting a lot of people.
It doesn’t matter as long as you care about people. The time that we are moving into will be able to pick up on that. Having a perpective counts for a great deal.
This stuff really p*sses me off. None of these (predominantly white) self-obsessed, self-flagellating, anal-gazing woketards look at the relative poverty in rural areas, significantly lower average wages than urban areas (and often longer working hours – sheep and cattle don’t give birth 9-5 Mon-Fri), lower standards of living with a concomitant increase in health risks, higher fuel and transport costs due to distances with little or no bl**dy public transport, less access to things like adult education, etc etc… They are trying to erase a couple of millennia of the social and cultural history of a northern latitude country just so they can worship at the altar of woke. Well they can eff right off.
Terrific
Telling like it is, Hux.
The removal of the industry dealt a terrible blow. I lived in Country Antrim in northern ireland and it was a great privilege in terms of seeing nature. Parts of northern ireland were among the most beautiful places in the world that I have seen. Truly Europe’s best jkept secret. It is a fine thing and they are a fine people. Such a fine people and such a fine landscape I have lived all over the world but there is no place like the Mourne mountains.
Stop giving money to people who hate you.
I had never heard of this mob before. None of their members will get my shilling.
No more nonsense. We either continue to talk crap to each other or we do something better, I am frankly fed up with mentioning it. It is your choice, I don’t care what you say I have a feeling for it annyway. But I take you onboard,
How long before the White Cliffs of Dover are racist?
I looked up Wildlife and Countryside Link. I beleive this is the document that nhas inspired thge DT piece https://www.wcl.org.uk/docs/WCL_Route_map_towards_greater_ethnic_diversity_October_2022.pdf
its a typical woke DIE word-salad that has no meaning other than to show the left-tard ‘Team’ are fully aligned with this victimhood excrement.
I see Richard Benwell is CEO; someone with a PhD in International studies, whatever they might be, but is somehow qualified to have advised the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee and later as a HoC Senior Clerk advising the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee; later standing as LibDem PPC for Wantage.
It happens that spent yesterday in a remote high altitude North Wales Sitka spruce forest with a professional contact from Kerala, who is here with university connections in the UK for a year. Weather was foul – the wettest day in 8 years. We were soaked through by nighfall. He was really enthusiastic to see it for himself, what we are doing there and compared things with his teak forests back home. Maybe I might get an invite to see them sometime if we remain permitted to travel. We talked about things of mutual interest. Otherwise his race was irrelevant. He would have been bemused had he known of this Route Map.
Few black people find themselves here but whether black brown or white we don’t see many city dwellers here especially on days like yesterday..
How does “oh just F OFF” sound .
Short and to the point Freddy.
Anyone supporting these charities should withdraw their membership forthwith. Cut off the funding and cut off the head.
That’s why I moved to the countryside
How come the NT’s begging letters kept getting mailed to whites then?
These charities obviously have far too much money such that they can waste it on non core activitities like this. Suggest all readers if they do donate stop doing so immediately as clearly as well as hating white people, they also have forgotten what their primary role is
These are nowadays their core activities. They’re just keeping the traditional names because it helps with fund-raising.
Well if you’re white probably best to stay well away from the National Trust and its properties then. They couldn’t possibly want “racist” white people’s money. And there’s no need to ever get involved with the WWF or RSPCA.
Seconded
I already try my best to avoid giving money to any organisation riddled with wokery. I even politely asked my wife not buy Dove products (Unilever) ———Surprisingly enough she agreed not to buy the creams from them. ——Maybe I shouldn’t push my luck and ask her not to buy any more of her Nike Trainers.
Maybe they could combine racism with the historic house tour with whites only being admitted through the servants entrance at the back door.
2021 National Trust CEO SALARY 115,000
2021 RSPCA CEO SALARY 95,000
“””””” WWF ” ” 90,000
Those are 2021, its now 3 years on so they will have had increases, below them are Directors, Managers who comission reports such as the above it makes you wonder how much is left to spend on the core charity remit.
I wonder how many tinged staff earn the big bucks compared to the less tinged staff.
They are being recruited as we write.
Exactly. These are the figures that matter.
If these outfits can afford to pay these sorts of salaries they don’t need donations.
Surely the British countryside has been colonised by fuchsias and rhododendrons?
Probably the countryside with it’s fields of quietly grazing sheep and blue tits whizzing about the bushes could do with a fresh injection of Rap Music. “Mutha Fukka Yo” “What’s up Yo”.
Sheep are racist! Almost all of them are white!
“Hey You Black Sheep Mutha Fukka”
Non-racial colonial white spaces are called – wastelands and deserts.
A look around the World at diverse, inclusive non-White areas shows this.
Interesting but meaningless. The recent Lawrence Fox cases both found that being called racist mas no meaning in law and there is no case for defamation that can be made against such an accusation. It means that I can safely call anyone I like racist and there cannot be any comeback, and this could well be the Police. Recent events seem to show that white people are second class citizens, and yesterday a man was arrested for waving a Union Jack at a demonstration. There were plenty of Palestinian flags and even an Isis type one, but no arrests there. I cannot imagine what the alleged crime was, as we have this flag flying over public buildings (Parliament etc.) all the time. Are they going to arrest the Speaker?
My only comment is that they are stupid, ignorant fools. But then we all know that anyway. The National Trust in particular should be careful in it’s cancelling of history crusade, there are many examples of this kind of behaviour, and all of them proved disasterous. Take the French Revolution, the killing of intelectuals set France back 100 years in its development, and may have even cost it the Industrial Revolution.
Another reason why I will not contribute to these agencies.
