A former Labour
MP who supported parents protesting the teaching of LGBT issues to their
children without their consent has been axed by
the party as a candidate for the coming election.
Roger Godsiff, an
MP for 27 years, was deselected by the national party last week after a
concerted campaign by LGBT activists. He had previously been reprimanded by
the party for telling protestors they had a
“just cause”.
Under new regulations schools are
required to consult parents about the teaching of Relationships and Sex
Education and ensure it “meets the needs of pupils and parents and reflects
the community they serve”.
The deselection
move is seen as a warning to other MPs who might be sympathetic to parental
concerns about the roll-out of inappropriate RSE.
It comes after a
survey last year found that 54 per cent of MPs did not feel they
could speak freely on transgender issues for fear of attacks on social media
and being accused of prejudice.
How sad that in
2019 an MP can be sacked by his party merely for standing up for the
justified concerns of his constituents.
Mr Godsiff told
supporters that “a small intolerant vindictive group within the LGBT
community” had carried out a “vicious and vindictive campaign of character
assassination” against him.
It is
increasingly clear that in our free and tolerant society some people believe
only one opinion should be allowed. It was repeatedly warned that free speech
would be one of the casualties of same-sex marriage. It gives us no pleasure
to find that we were right.

A temporary Provost
at Worcester College Oxford has banned the saying of the Anglican grace
before meals, despite the fact that it has been said for many years, and
replace it with a 'range of set texts of thanksgiving from any world culture,
religious or not. This is on
the base of inclusivity, and to avoid hurting feelings of others.
There always has
to be someone seeking their few minutes of fame by making some inane and
fatuous comment. If students were to
be offended, they are obviously as unsuitable for being in the college as the
Provost herself.

Just two more incidents occuring in this mad mad land we call Britain where freedom of speech was once a treasured possession.
What a terrifying thought when
the future of the country is often considered to be in the hands and minds of
graduates from our top Universities and you read nonsense like this. If a student finds it hurts their feedlings, no one is fording them to stay.
