In a chilling display of ideological censorship, a veteran teacher in Britain has been referred to the government’s Prevent counter-terrorism program simply for showing videos of President Trump to his A-level students during a lesson on U.S. politics.
The incident unfolded at Henley College in Oxfordshire, where the teacher—a qualified educator since the mid-1990s and —introduced clips from Trump’s inauguration and campaign to illustrate the recent U.S. election.
Just days after Trump’s victory, two students complained, claiming the material was “biased” and left them “emotionally disturbed,” with one even alleging nightmares. The college swiftly escalated the matter to the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO), who prioritized a Prevent referral, warning that the teacher’s views “could be perceived as radical,” potentially amounting to a hate crime or radicalisation.

The teacher, speaking out against this farce, described the ordeal as “completely jarring. It’s dystopian, like something from a George Orwell novel.”
He added, “It was just terrifying; just mind-boggling. We were discussing the US election, Trump had just won and I showed a couple of videos from the Trump campaign. Next thing, I was accused of bias. One of the students said they were emotionally disturbed and claimed to have had nightmares.”
Firmly rejecting the extremist label, the teacher, a self described “mainstream Republican,” stated “I am not an extremist,” and accused the college of “complete Left-wing bias,” noting, “They don’t tolerate anything about Donald Trump.”
The college’s official communication hammered the point, alleging the teacher had “shown your students videos of Donald Trump, his campaign, propaganda and other videos which are unrelated to what is being taught.”
Meanwhile, the LADO’s report escalated the hysteria: “There is concern that this behaviour could cause harm to a child, there could be a criminal offence from the views which could constitute a hate crime and it’s possible that his promoting of views could be radicalisation.”
In the end, the teacher settled for a modest £2,000 payoff and resigned from his role, effectively driven out for daring to present balanced political discourse.
This case exposes a grotesque reality in British education. How is it that showing footage of the duly elected U.S. President in a class explicitly about American politics gets you flagged as a potential terrorist?
There is also a horrible double standard where schools freely indoctrinate kids with outright fabrications, such as pushing “non-fiction” books claiming Black people built Stonehenge, and were integral in other historical developments, part of a “decolonizing” push that insists Britain was “a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people came.”
The hypocrisy deepens with radical gender ideology flooding classrooms. Trans lobbyists from Stonewall are demanding over 300 schools scrap terms like “boys and girls,” opting for neutral language, gender-neutral bathrooms, and identical uniforms—all under the guise of “inclusion.” Schools paying into Stonewall’s scheme must embed LGBTQ+ propaganda across the curriculum, ignoring government guidance against promoting “gender identity ideology.”
This teacher-shaming fits into a broader, sinister trend: the UK government’s push to teach children how to “spot extremist content and misinformation” in schools, embedding “critical thinking” that suspiciously aligns with establishment narratives.
Under the Labour government, kids are being indoctrinated to analyse articles and websites and weed out “putrid conspiracy theories,” grooming the next generation to police thought.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has warned: “If the parameters that are set are to say to every kid, if you read a post that questions net zero and global warming, it will be extreme content, and a lie, if you read a post that even dares to question levels of immigration, legal or illegal into Britain, that that’s extremist, then you start to set a narrative for a future generation that is fundamentally undemocratic.” He labeled Prime Minister Keir Starmer the “biggest threat to free speech” in British history.
The Free Speech Union charges that child safeguarding is being twisted to muzzle “unfashionable opinions,” especially those leaning right. In an era where globalist agendas prioritise control over truth, this episode serves as a stark warning. If discussing a world leader like Trump lands you in the crosshairs of counter-terror watchdogs, what’s next for parents, educators, or anyone challenging the narrative?
True freedom demands we dismantle this censorship machine before it silences us all—starting with reclaiming our schools for honest, unbiased education.

Fury as ‘first class’ healthcare given to migrants set for deportation

The pro migrant Labour party imposes visa crackdown for country refusing to take back deported migrants
Story by Charles Hymas • 6Labour has for the first time imposed visa restrictions on a country refusing to take back criminals and illegal migrants.
Diplomats and ministers from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will no longer receive preferential visa treatment and its citizens will be barred from fast-track entry to the UK.
The central African nation has been branded “obstructive” by the Home Office after refusing to take back migrants, that are violent criminals and sex offenders.
This happened when we offered the west indies, they could come here and they opened the prisons and sent them
Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, has threatened the Congolese government with a full visa ban on anyone travelling from the country, including its president, if it continues to refuse deported criminals
The Home Office hopes the visa restrictions will help encourage other nations to co-operate. Two other African countries – Angola and Namibia – were also threatened with the Trump-style sanctions last month for refusing criminal deportees and have since agreed to co-operate.
Angola and Namibia have agreed under pressure, to take back criminal migrant gangs
that should not be here in the first place

Trump’s an a-hole but this demonstrates how a political ideologically can create a political machine that ends up with the autonomous power to steamroller over everything. If you take common sense away which extremism and woke certainly do you end up with a machine that crushes independent thoughts and actions which not even the top dog can escape. Nazism and communism were political machines which, if Hitler or Stalin for some reason had a change of philosophy, their own political machines could have crushed them too.
“Note, this website doesn’t support Donald Trump but what does this say about the UK education system?”
The long term top-down paradigm is cultural marxism – these are the precepts by which government employees like teachers etc. climb the greasy professional pole. But TPTB are also aware of many people’s opposition to low-level ill thought out leftism. Many people without seeing the system – thus becoming swept up by it – don’t see that low level apparatchik like school teachers and the vile mainstream media are used to frame “right-wing” bogey men and thus piss folk off. Trump is a caricature that it is fine to be ridiculed by Channel 4 and BBC “comedians” because it engenders the necessary opposition to the perceived left of the dialectic. Thus people are driven for lack of any seeming alternative to support a caricature.
It tell us that TPTB want to imprison people’s mind in a dialectic without recourse to any third path. One party (Conservative or Republican) stands for Israel, empire, and making noises about stopping immigration. The other party (Democrat or Labour) might make noises about the Mid East “peace process” and encourages immigration. The dialectic allows the conflation of memes and disallows nuance: “You are with us or with the terrorists”.
Political control amounts to using manufactured opponents who close ranks when those offering a third position are labelled “extremists” by the vile mainstream media. One good example is the way the BBC’s “Question Time” would show “heated discussion” between Labour, Tory, and Liberal politicians. The format of the show allowed questions from the audience. Typically a later question would be from a working class man or woman worried about immigration. This individual would typically be physically unattractive and have a strong local accent. The middle class politicians would close ranks and despite “disagreeing” earlier showcase their reasonableness and ally against this gruff opponent of “decency” that had the temerity to suggest immigration had got out of hand. Nothing ever demonstrated the BBC’s contempt for ordinary folk more than this contrivance.
Once “extremists” have been handled and people’s minds poisoned, the business of perpetuating the Punch and Judy professional wrestling match can continue. Regular visitors to this site will not need to be told that the two party racket is not understood by many. The old saying that they are as bad as each other does not include the understanding that this is how the system has been deliberately managed.
