Nationwide protests by parents against new relationships and sex-education lessons are planned for September, and head teachers across England are bracing themselves for angry scenes. About 70 state schools are pleading for help to deal with demands from parents that they drop the lessons, which include information about LGBT sex and relationships.
On Friday, 350 children were withdrawn from Parkfield Primary School in Birmingham because teachers have refused to stop using picture books to teach young children that same-sex relationships are normal. Demonstrations outside nearby Anderton Park Primary School have been banned by the High Court after ugly scenes upset children and teachers.
“It’s a mob chanting and shouting and engaging in intimidating and threatening behaviour. And I think we have to recognise that and call it out for what it is.”

I'm perpetually amused by religious types who are so weak in their own faith that they can't stand kids being told that gay people exist and they are people too.

... a literal fish? Or is this a turn of phrase used only in the UK?

Stage 5: Oh for God's sake, now the crowd is clapping.
Stage 6: We're doomed. We're truly, completely, utterly doomed.

Absolutely true, honestly this is making me more depressed than I already am but that's what politics does I suppose. Oh and I do think he means the actual fish, Boris probably believes they're on the verge of extinction ever since we've been in the EU.

.... if anything that makes it worse. At least a cynical so-and-so willing to let loose the ghost of Enoch Powell to get political goals done could, conceivably, do something positive. But if you're right, then we're dealing with a nuclear weapons grade idiot.

And he'll most likely be our next prime minister. Although I absolutely despise Jeremy Hunt, I think he's a sleazy slimeball who would sell out our NHS in a second, he's definitely the better option in only that he's competent, Boris on the other hand...
