Indexing all opinion
the most cnutish idea i've heard in a while:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7656607.stm
and the language used pisses me off- 'a sophisticated, security led toolkit' ffs.
the government are concerned about young people having 'radical ideas'. rather than address their concerns (or even address them full stop), they want to put a stop to 'radical ideas'
in theory kids as young as 5 could be shopped if they are deemed 'radical'
on Today this morning, anthony glees (professor of security or somesuch at university of buckinghamshire) complained that it didn't go far enough, and that it failed to make a statement about 'big ben british values' thus allowing identity to stem from a number of sources.
therefore, he complains, this 'toolkit' allows religion-read islam- to remain a legitimate source of identity, which "ultimately presents us with a security risk"
wtf????
he also complained it focused too much on ideas such as conflict resolution. fuck that- FIGHT!
