The Left-Wing Think Tank That Has Received Nearly £400,000 of Taxpayers’ Money

by Charlotte Gill
8 October 2024 7:00 AM

What is the IPPR? (Full name: the Institute for Public Policy Research.)

I first asked myself this question after seeing footage of Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, speaking at its stall during the recent Labour Party Conference.

Methinks there’s an agenda to emphasise nurture over nature because reasons.

Diminish the significance of the parents, let the State raise the kids. A recurrent theme of the Scottish Government.

Obviously. It’s supposed to support the origin-of-xen¹ theory of the so-called progressive left which basically states that humans are not animals but something made of featureless clay which can be formed in whatever way someone desires to form it. Unsurprisingly, they’re again repurposing well-known Christian myths here.

¹ Politically correct way to refer to hairless and sexless hindleg-walking creatures killing the planet by burning stuff said to have brains capable of independent thought despite no evidence for this could be found so far.

Sounds like a low quality study interpreted by low IQ ‘journalists’ looking for a headline. What a time to be alive!

Men are women.

Girls are boys.

Ineffective vaccines are effective.

Unsafe vaccines are safe.

Global warming = our heating bills are far higher than ever.

Children are more like their parents than we thought = children are less like their parents than we thought.

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

“Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.’
I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”

“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”

“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master——that’s all.”

“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy.”

Is this not precisely what the transgender hullabaloo is all about?

A man can be a woman.

A woman can be a man.
