Has anyone got an idea of how this is going to be explained.
I sort of remember in junior school using poof and queero whilst mucking around.
Most of the boys did; albeit not really understanding what it meant or even being offended.
Sadly society has taken away the innocence and happy ignorance of youth and with that being the case surely allowing that now is wrong.
Think back if you are over 40 and I can pretty much bet it was the same in all schools.
The minimum requirement is to stop this as kids are now offended by it (TIC) so giving a basic understanding must be correct,even at 5 years old.
Not knowing how it is going to be taught is the elephant in the room.

As a teacher I wouldn't allow slurs like 'gay' in my classroom. I knew some teachers who were fine with it.

However, this is on a completely different level. This is the state officially mandating the teaching of your child on different sexual relationships starting at five years old.

This is an attack on socially conservative families of any hue and any religion or none at all.

What if little Johnny says to the teacher that he doesn't think a child being raised with two mummies and no daddy or vice versa is ok?

This is not what the state should be doing.

My point was not so much the right or wrong but that I don't see Owen Jones and his lot out in force on the subject against Muslims.

Yet if the right had issues with Muslims Owen Jones goes hysterical.

I believe the left have gone up a dead end and are starting to realise their mistakes and want to turn back on many views but don't want to eat humble pie.

Absolutely. Take Owen Jones for example I don't even reckon he's gay: he just likes to be in that crowd for the social justice angle. That or he's just unable to get some snatch due to his middle age lesbian body and newly hatched bird eyes.

He'd be the first the Communists would shoot being both educated and a journalist (arguable) and definitely the first thrown off a rooftop under Sharia law.

Silly little c***.

Great example of BBC double standards.

"UK economy shrinks for the first time since 2012"

"German economy slips back into negative growth"

The kind caring BBC.

Retired bank manager has been harassed since 1997 because he doesn't own a TV.

This is just one example of many. The BBC takes the attitude that you have to prove to them you don't own a TV licence. Funny that I thought our law is based on the presumption of innocence.

If I was this chap I would sue the BBC for harassment and demand they provide the evidence that that they believe proves he has a TV.

Over 75's can look forward to plenty of this bully boy tactics from next year.

One more point

But it’s not the same story? It’s two different countries, two difference economic situations.

Should every football match that results in a 1-0 win for the home team have an identical headline?

Even taking that aside, which one is the more sensationalised? Do you mean because it refers to 2012?

What’s the opposite of economic growth? What term do you use?

No, an economy can shrink but growth cannot shrink.

Economic growth can be positive or negative; this is how it’s always been recorded - you are now blaming the BBC because you don’t understand this.

I’m not signed up so can’t read it, but the headline refers to an economy shrinking, which I already acknowledged in my post.

Growth cannot shrink - it can be positive or negative.
