Labour?s New School Curriculum: Where Education Goes to DEI Tue Nov 11, 2025 15:03 | Dr Nicholas Tate
Labour's new National Curriculum is dripping with DEI and Left-wing dogma. Teaching Britain's national story is out, pushing more multiculturalism is in. It's the last thing Britain needs right now, says Dr Nicholas Tate.

Jump To Comment: 2 1I have been folowing the growing tension and propeganda regarding Bush and his murderous conspiraters against Iran.
It seems that the U.S. is planning to attack Iran formally in August 2008.
This would obviosly mean that the numbers of rendition and logistic aircraft using Shannon will increase.
Not only is that disgusting, it is shamefull and horrifying that it is still allowed to happen.
you have been warned, now all you have to do is STOP it from happening.

Amnesty International says that despite repeated calls by the Council of Europe, no government has yet put in place adequate measures to prevent their territory being used by the US for the secret transfer of detainees to detention, which is known as rendition.
The Government says it accepts US assurances that Ireland is not being used for rendition.
Renditions
In February, a European Parliament resolution urged the Irish government to establish a parliamentary inquiry into the use of Irish territory by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operated aircraft linked with the practice of extraordinary rendition (illegal transfer of people between states outside of any judicial process).
In December, the Irish Human Rights Commission published a review of Ireland’s international obligations regarding extraordinary renditions. It concluded that Ireland was “not complying with its human rights obligations to prevent torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”.
It recommended that the authorities should “put in place a reliable and independently verifiable system of inspection [of relevant aircraft]”.
