You know what Im talking about: the thread you put up about not teaching the holocaust because it might offend them because some clown at the mosque is teaching them that the holocaust didnt happen. English solution? Dont teach the holocaust.

Wrong. British solution? Issue a report recommending more support and training for teachers, and make the teaching of the holocaust compulsary in all British schools. I mean, you read the thread, didn't you?

You know, jinju, it's morons like you who are the problem, regardless of where they're from. That crazy-ass mullah spewing hate in the mosque? He's the Saudi version of you.

Yes, this is the expectation and here it is reported again on the BBC:



A Department of Education and Skills spokesman said there [has hitherto been] scope for schools to make their own decision on what to teach within the national curriculum. But he added: "Teaching of the Holocaust is already compulsory in schools at Key Stage 3. It will remain so in the new Key stage 3 curriculum from September 2008.

"As Alan Johnson made clear in January there are certain subjects which will be protected in the new curriculum and that includes the Holocaust."

I don't have a problem with it in the least. I'm strongly in favor of increased surveillance, always have been, not just related to terrorism (this article doesn't mention terrorism) but related to other crime, drunken street violence, vandalism, muggings of little old ladies, etc. If it acts as a deterrant to any of these things (cameras are unlikely to deter a suicide bomber of course - so a potential flaw there) I think it's worth it.


Crime deterence. Uh-huh. When it's convenient & supports the "correct" agenda.

Like with Diana's death. Unfortunately all THOSE CCTV cameras, something like 17 or 18
between the RITZ & the tunnel, are officially deemed as having been "broken".

My, how convenient.

Now WHO "broke" the cameras? Faceless cowards.

Yes, that's right. Interesting you should pick up on that.
CCTV in France. How revolutionary.

Who watches the watchers?
