Labour prepare the ground for their relationship views to be complusory in primary schools

There's an interesting move by Ed Balls to remove the right of parents to excuse their children from the states propaganda machine on sexual education.

Balls says it doesn't matter as virtually no parents use the right anyway. But then what harm is it doing ? Very little.

So what's he really up to ?

Well my guess is preparing the ground for things parents will object to, but will suddenly find they can't opt out from.

There are some nasty pressure groups which seek to corrupt children in primary schools and they will soon be pushing to use the Orwellian sounding Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) subject Labour invented to get access to these young children directly or with their ideas.

Just wait.

PS This is another reason why Labour must be forced from office. They are the enemies of parental care and responsibility.

Update: I missed the fact that compulsion will start at 15. However I still think you will find Labour starting to push its diversity lifestyles agenda throughout the curriculum.

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
