Schools have the potential to be highly influential as far as children and teenagers’ psychological development is concerned, because they are organisational systems to which teachers, support staff and a whole range of adults contribute. Any school functions as a culture in itself, influenced by those who participate in it and are a part of it. This is true of all organisations in our public sphere : the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. But what happens to those organisations when lies are promoted by leaders? What happens when those in positions of some influence are told by that leadership to deny reality? And what happens to children on the receiving end of reality denial and collusion aimed at maintaining the lie? Children’s cognitive development, understanding, general wellbeing and mental health is more than likely to suffer. Those delivering the lie will suffer psychologically too.
Surely then such a state of affairs should be avoided? Yet, one year on from the Cass Report and the Scottish Government’s acceptance of it, nothing has changed. This article will focus on our schools, but we suggest that our conclusions are relevant for all our public services.
ScotPAG’s view is that our Scottish Government has ignored the Cass Review’s recommendations by ignoring the importance of schools and Dr Cass’s comments about schools. Cass states that given the current societal context in which children and teenagers are growing up, care must be exercised due to influential factors already impacting on children and teenagers´ mental health.

🚨 Whitefield Bury Greater Manchester
I never thought I’d have to post something like this but the scariest thing happened to me tonight. Around 8:15pm tonight this man followed me from Slatterys to the Premier shop on hazel road In whitefield. He asked me for directions which I kindly helped him and he then proceeded to walk in the same direction. As I got further down the street he tripped me up and grabbed me by my bum to stop me from falling, he then tried several times to grab my hand and boobs. He then followed me into the shop where I managed to take a picture of his face, when he realised i took a photo he left the shop and waited outside for me. Please be careful if you are walking alone in Whitefield.

A serving Metropolitan Police officer has been charged with multiple sex offences including rape.
PC Dion Arnold is charged with four counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration and one count of sexual assault, the Met Police said.
He was arrested by Surrey Police on 29 March.
The charges relate to a report made earlier this year and the alleged offences are said to have happened while Arnold was off duty.

Until the age of 12, Harry's parents say he was a "wonderful" son. But they saw a change in his personality, which they believe was sparked by an incident when he was hit by a girl. Soon, he developed an online interest in masculine power and control.
"Harry became obsessed with being strong, and I think he developed a difficulty around certain female people because of the assault," Jess says.
"He had to be in charge... in every setting," Rob adds.
Then one night, he punched his mother, Jess. His parents called the police in the hope it would shock him out of doing it again. But, as time went on, the violence escalated.
One attack was so serious, Jess ended up in hospital. The violence spilled outside the home too as Harry assaulted neighbours and friends.
Then he threatened to stab a teacher.
"Every time we think it can't get any worse, something else happens and it does get worse," Rob says. "Unfortunately, him getting hold of a knife is quite likely to happen."

The women who help men abuse other women. Serial offenders often need ‘enablers’ so they can perpetrate their crimes – and the dynamic of a female helper is disturbingly common.
The journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley observed Maxwell’s trial for her book The Lasting Harm, and spent six years conducting interviews with her victims. “What I’ve learnt about the role these women play in organised child sexual abuse is that in schemes like this – and you see them replicated over and over – there will be a perpetrator who is a master manipulator, but often will need someone to help him (usually ‘him’) get access to children,” she explains.
Walker-Duncalf, 48, now lives in Jersey and runs a recruitment firm. She was named by a number of women who had spoken to Channel 4’s recently aired Dispatches programme about Fayed’s abuse. One victim claims Walker-Duncalf questioned why a young woman did not close her eyes and “think of someone else” as the Harrods boss attempted to rape her.

But it is not the length of the road journeys alone that has inspired this letter. One of the signatories, Tahir Ali, MP for Birmingham Hall Green and Moseley, spoke about the airport in a video. He stressed its importance, not as a logistical improvement, but as a way to preserve the connection between the Kashmiri diaspora in Britain and what he called the “motherland”.
It is easy to look at this letter by MPs and conclude that it is a secondary effect of immigration. Of course it is — but that belies the complexity of the relationship between diaspora and “motherland”, the regularity of contact and the increasing importance issues in South Asia will have on British politics as the size of the diaspora increases.
As noted multiculturalism understander Chris Bayliss has written in these most august pages, the establishment seems remarkably incurious about what multiculturalism might mean — including for how it might affect our democracy. British democracy is unused to the influence of clannishness like this, and it is dangerously ill-equipped to deal with it. Will it be an improvement? Given the tremendous standard of governing it has produced in Bangladesh and Pakistan, it seems unlikely.

The story goes that 60 years ago, Tunnock's teacakes were banned from RAF flights after a cockpit marshmallow explosion.
The chocolate-covered treats were apparently all the rage, eaten by nuclear bomber crewmen on training sorties at the height of the Cold War.
But in the summer of 1965, a captain and student pilot forgot they had placed unwrapped teacakes above their instrument panels.
When the captain pulled an emergency depressurising switch the iconic Scottish treat erupted - leaving a sticky mess over the airmen, the instruments and cockpit canopy.
Now the RAF Centre of Aerospace Medicine has now given them the all-clear to fly again, after tests in an altitude chamber found the teacakes did not explode.
The experiments were covered by the British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS), external at the centre based at RAF Henlow in Bedfordshire.

Three bar managers in Belgium are among five men who have been arrested in connection with an investigation into the rape and sexual assault of dozens of women, local police say.
Prosecutors said the suspects were linked to the spiking of drinks of at least 41 female victims from December 2021 to December 2024.
The three suspects ran the establishments in the north-western city of Kortrijk where the spikings took place. Investigators say they believe they discussed the attacks with each other.
The Western Flanders public prosecutor's office said in total five men were arrested on Wednesday and Thursday in connection with the investigation into spiking.
Two men who were arrested appeared before an investigating judge on Thursday, prosecutors said.
Another two men are still being questioned by detectives while the fifth man has been released after being interviewed.
The men are suspected of rape, sexual assault and illegal administration of harmful substances, the prosecutor's office said.
Officials believe drugs were mixed into the women's drinks, including ketamine, a general anaesthetic used for recreational purposes because of its hallucinogenic effects.

"After 30 years of selling breast implants, there were zero clinical trials and epidemiological studies that were published. Zero. A million women had breast implants.
Zero published epidemiological or clinical studies.
So in 1991, the FDA finally required implant companies to submit safety data.
Women with breast implants were twice as likely to die from brain cancer and three times as likely to die from lung cancer.
Other government studies have found silicone in women's lymph nodes under their arms, and from there it can travel to other organs throughout their body, including their brains and their lungs.
When the implant makers presented their data to the FDA just a few months ago, those studies just disappeared."

Their daughter told the Times: "My mother is 75 and my father almost 80 and [he] needs his heart medication after a mini-stroke. They were just trying to help the country they loved. The idea they are being held because they were teaching mothers with children is outrageous."
According to the paper, their daughter and her three brothers have also written a letter to the Taliban, pleading with them to release their parents.
"We do not understand the reasons behind their arrest," they wrote. "They have communicated their trust in you, and that as Afghan citizens they will be treated well."
"We recognise that there have been instances where exchanges have been beneficial for your government and western nations. However, our parents have consistently expressed their commitment to Afghanistan, stating that they would rather sacrifice their lives than become part of ransom negotiations or be traded."
The family is in touch with the Foreign Office but assistance is limited by the fact that the UK does not recognise the Taliban and has no embassy in Kabul.

Monet Minis, Water Lily Mittens
We started letterbox mini skein sets last year with a series based on William Morris designs and as Louise has a penchant for alliteration these became Morris Minors after the much loved British car. Naturally the latest series inspired by Monet have become Monet Minis and we obviously had to include at least one set based on his famous water lily series.
As a joint effort we made a pair of embroidered mittens inspired by the water lily image and if you fancy making your own pair here are the instructions. It’s not a tested pattern as we have only made the one pair, but a recipe for a knitter with a little experience.

Dozens of men, some in balaclavas, got out of the cars. “They came into our back garden,” Latta recalls. “My seven-year-old daughter was quite terrified. She was in tears, saying, ‘Daddy, what’s happening, are they going to come into the house?’” This was not a scene from a war zone. It happened two weeks ago in the Cambridgeshire Fens where, for a few, terrifying hours of pandemonium, citizens were left at the mercy of intruders who robbed petrol stations, raced through villages and rampaged across fields to stage an illegal hare coursing tournament on Latta’s land. They carried out this unruly incursion with impunity, not once challenged by police.
“I counted 13 vehicles and 70 men, they took over our farm for several hours, cutting through padlocks on gates, turning the place into their playground,” says Latta, 50, who grows onions, potatoes, wheat and barley on 2,000 acres just north of Cambridge. He called the police three times that afternoon in vain. “They said they would come. We’re still waiting four days later. We’ve felt alone and very vulnerable.”
It seems as if a shadow has fallen across parts of green and pleasant England, now in the grip of a rural crime epidemic and policing crisis, the latest, menacing manifestations of which are marauding convoys of rural road warriors.
The invaders, thought to be from the Traveller community, then roared into Manea (pronounced “mainee”), a village with 2,000 inhabitants which is surrounded by fields that are a haven for thousands of overwintering Russian swans. “We’re a sleepy, one-horse, fenland town, I’ve never seen anything like it,” says Charlie Marks, a local Conservative councillor. He was walking along the pavement when he heard the screeching of wheels as the first wave of a dozen 4x4s came round the corner: “They were doing about 70mph in a 30mph zone, and sometimes up on the pavement,” he said. “They were full of guys with balaclavas and sunglasses, one of them hanging out of the window grasping a pickaxe handle.”

A transgender doctor was left feeling "distressed" and "afraid" after being told by a nurse not to use the women's changing rooms at work, an employment tribunal has heard.
Dr Beth Upton - a trans woman - described being confronted by Sandie Peggie on Christmas Eve 2023, who was said to have stated that "a man couldn't be in the changing room" at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy.
Dr Upton told the tribunal the incident was "quite scary".
Ms Peggie was suspended by NHS Fife in January 2024 pending an investigation after she argued that sharing the changing room with Dr Upton amounted to unlawful harassment under the Equality Act.

As George Orwell noted in his 1946 essay on the perfect pub, regulars go "for the conversation as much as the beer".
Under Rayner's plan, pubs might have to stop customers from discussing anything controversial.
Why? To protect bar staff from "harassment". Which could include overhearing opinions they don't like.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has warned Rayner's rules could "disproportionately curtail" freedoms and could even extend to "overheard conversations".
Imagine that.

"We have members telling us that children as old as seven and eight, who have no additional learning needs or medical conditions, are struggling with toileting.
Education bosses said there had been an increase in school-age children not being able to use the bathroom independently
Grandfather Gavin Wise said the policy was "unfair".

Schools closing and class sizes rising, jobs lost, families disrupted, SEND pupils left in limbo, court cases pending, such actions are both punitive and inept, almost as if the Secretary of State doesn’t know what she’s doing and doesn’t care about the consequences. And in some government departments such a hapless state of affairs would be containable, but education, like health, is different because, quite obviously, at the end of these various blunders are vulnerable people. The Secretary of State has, ultimately, a duty of care to all children who attend schools in England. Given that she has never visited an independent school, or a free school, it is clear where her priorities lie.
A new book which no doubt resonates with Philiipson’s and Francis’s view of education is “Equity in Education: levelling the playing field of learning, by Lee Elliott Major and Emily Briant”. It’s worth reading if you are interested in what an “equity-based” education looks like.
At the beginning of the third chapter the authors write a telling line about how they see the role of teachers: predictably it is not, principally, to impart a deep love of an academic subject, or to learn and be excited by the acquisition of that knowledge. No, teachers entered the profession “to achieve the noble aim of social justice.” That one, short statement encapsulates much of what has gone wrong (and continues to go wrong) with teaching in many developed countries during the last ten years: too many teachers, and those who train them during their Initial Teacher Training programme, see the role as a means of bending society to a liberal, “progressive” version of their own world view.
They see it as a “noble” cause, a process of instigating lasting change where it really matters: in the minds of the young people they teach. They describe this desire as “fierce”. “Suddenly”, they write, “the learners in front of you are yours”. The classes “belong to you”. These “learners” do not sound like individuals with a diversity of opinions but, rather, a homogenous group that can be remoulded in the likeness of the teacher. There are plenty of stages where the culture wars are fought, but nowhere is it more depressing to see it played out in front of those rows of desks in a classroom which should be insulated from a teacher’s political sympathies.

Imagine if, in Britain, there was an ethnic minority that was legally disadvantaged when applying for jobs and university places. This same group is regularly denounced in the press, ridiculed online and mocked by comedians. Imagine that their history is rewritten by academics, who represent them as villains and monsters. When they engage in protest, whether online or in the streets, state responses are swift and disproportionate. Indeed, imagine that so hated and reviled is this minority, that their daughters can be raped and prostituted, and the police do nothing. Not only that, but when the minority group complains or takes action, the police go after them, and they are accused of spreading dangerous misinformation.
For years, Pakistani rape gangs were allowed to prey upon vulnerable white children, and nobody lifted a hand to stop it. Not the police, who dismissed victims as sluts. Not the social workers who tolerated and sometimes facilitated the abuse. Not the Home Office, that failed to deport most of the men convicted of paedophilic rape, including the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang. Not the local councils that covered it up. Not the media that attacked those who sounded the alarm as racists and fabulists. Not the government, which did nothing, other than opening the borders and ordering police to go after “online hate speech”. There are those who try to explain these actions as a tragic error, borne of the “noble” goal of protecting the Pakistani community from racial hatred. There are many problems with this idea. For one, if there is a particular culture in this country that tolerates its young men engaging in racialised sexual abuse, then it deserves to be criticised, until it has changed its ways and acted. When the Catholic Church was revealed to have covered up and allowed abuse, deep and searching questions were asked.

Private dentists are cashing in on the scarcity of NHS treatment by hiking their charges for fillings, checkups and extractions to “eye-watering” levels, research has found.
Patients are paying as much as £775 for root canal work, £435 to have a tooth out and £325 for a white filling due to fees for common dental procedures soaring since 2022.
Fees for many treatments have undergone inflation-busting rises in the last two years as more people have been forced to seek non-NHS care, with the average cost of a non-surgical extraction going up by 32%, a comparison of prices at private dental surgeries across the UK has found.
Patient groups warned that some people with dental problems were missing out on care altogether because NHS help is so hard to access and private treatment has become so expensive. “For patients struggling to access NHS dental care, and for those who choose to go private, the dramatic rise in private dental costs places essential care out of reach for many,” said Rachel Power, the chief executive of the Patients Association.
“This creates a dangerous cycle where patients bounce between an inaccessible NHS system and unaffordable private care, while their oral health deteriorates. The stark reality is that many are left with no viable route to essential dental treatment.”

Western cultural institutions have been waging a war on the past for several years now. They have turned national histories into sources of shame, damned key works in the Western canon as racist and pulled down historical monuments. 2024 has been no exception.
Over the course of the past 12 months, we’ve seen schools, universities and the media all engaged in rewriting, demonising and cancelling the legacy of Western civilisation.
Britain’s schools have also been a key battleground this year. Activist educators have attempted to make children ashamed of their society’s past. Take the guidance offered by The Key, an education-services company, on how to make the history curriculum ‘anti-racist’. It says that the British Empire should be taught to pupils just as Nazi Germany is taught to them – that is, as the history of a genocidal power committing atrocities. This isn’t an attempt to enlarge children’s understanding of the British Empire, warts and all. This is an attempt to stoke shame. Indeed, the aim of so many of these projects is to instill in people a sense of guilt, as if they somehow bear responsibility for the actions of their distant ancestors. This has reached absurd proportions when it comes to the transatlantic slave trade.

Crouched alone on the floor, in a tiny, windowless cell, Nasim could hear what sounded like other prisoners being tortured. The guard would bang on the door and say: "Can you hear that beating? Get ready, you're next."
She was "interrogated for 10 to 12 hours every day" and repeatedly threatened with execution.
The bare cell, no more than two metres across, had no bed or toilet. Four months in solitary confinement was the 36-year-old hairdresser's introduction to Iran's notorious Evin prison. The only people she saw were her interrogators. She thought that she would "die and no-one would know".
We have pieced together accounts from multiple reliable sources to build a picture of everyday life for Nasim and other women, who are currently being held in Evin prison.
Many were among the tens of thousands of people arrested in connection with the "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests that followed the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September 2022. Mahsa had been arrested for allegedly breaking Iranian laws that require women to wear the hijab and she died in police custody.
While people have spoken about conditions in Evin after they have been released, it is rare to get details of inmates' lives while they are still inside.

"It felt like being stabbed, I'd be on my hands and knees in pain."
Emily Handstock, 25 has struggled with period pain for 10 years and has documented the agony she has gone through on TikTok.
"I was admitted to hospital and the morphine barely touched the sides," she said.
She wants others to take part in severe period pain research, which could shape education and research, improving the lives of women.
Emily, who lives in Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf, has felt the agonising effects of her period since she was 15.
"It was horrendous bleeding, I'd have to leave school and go home and change – I'd bleed through tampons and pads," she said. Emily is sharing her story as a Westminster report by MPs warned women experiencing painful health conditions, including heavy periods, were being dismissed when they asked for help.
It stated that medical misogyny was leaving women in pain for years and disrupted all aspects of daily life.
Last week, the Welsh government announced the first women's health plan, following similar strategies in England and Scotland.
It includes a focus on menstrual health, including endometriosis - something Emily has welcomed.
Last month, after seven years of tests and scans, Emily had surgery for stage four endometriosis, but had to "fight to be taken seriously".

McGovern, 31, was placed under supervision for three years and ordered to carry out 300 hours unpaid work after admitting wilfully neglecting the boy to his severe injury, permanent impairment and danger to life at the High Court in Edinburgh.

As universities continue to accept large swathes of students they cannot accommodate, it is local residents like Ms Connitt who pay the price. She says: “Students’ antisocial behaviour is also a big thing, which is often at odds with families who are asking themselves if St James is still a suitable environment for raising their children.
“Many describe the walk to school, avoiding pools of vomit, discarded takeaway packaging and overflowing refuse bins. Lots of students bring their cars up, so it’s also impossible to park anywhere during term time.”
Meanwhile, Richard Tyler lives in Headingley, Leeds, which is now home to around 60,000 full-time students. Dr Tyler has witnessed the effect this has had on the local community first-hand. He says: “It used to be a normal suburban area - but now there are twice as many students as permanent residents. Once you get such strong demand for student housing, the price of properties shoots up, and families get priced out.
“Landlords can afford to outbid them, because they know they’ll make it all back in rental income. We’ve seen a major loss of first homes for families in favour of second homes for students.”
Dr Tyler has spent 20 years campaigning against the transformation of communities into areas dominated by students. He lives near Chestnut Avenue, notorious for the high number of burglaries it sees each year. Student areas attract thieves, as homes are often poorly secured by their residents, who also tend to have their own sets of valuable belongings, including laptops, smartphones and games consoles. Dr Tyler says: “My kids used to go and play with other children on that street, but there are no families left there now. It’s like walking down an alley in a prison - each door and window is covered in security bars.”

😑 to do cancer massage you have to have specialist training, I don't blame them for not wanting to do it. There are therapists who specialise in it but not all of them do. Highly unlikely that you will find one in this kind of place anyway.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce31e5z24ygo
"However, deep tissue massage is best avoided, and it's crucial to provide the therapist with your full medical history so they can identify any contraindications and adjust your treatment accordingly.”
Ms Sidhu, 60, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2021, and said that "touch is something that you do need". She added that after ticking that she had cancer on a form, a spa informed her that she could not have any of the treatments.
Ms Sidhu continued: "Now I don't ask the question. "It's ironic because I have a therapist at the hospice that gives me massages but when it comes to spas, I don't ask because I felt quite intimidated, and I don't want to feel like that again."
https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/treatment/coping-with-treatment/complementary-therapies/massage-or-other-touch-therapies
If a massage therapist is not sure about where on your body it is safe to massage, they might choose to massage your hands or feet instead. The massage therapist must also be properly trained and qualified to treat people with cancer. They should have some knowledge of cancer and its treatments. They can sometimes teach family members or friends how to do basic massages, so they can support you at home.
During your touch therapy, it is important to avoid massage in certain areas. This includes:
areas that are directly over a tumour or any lymph nodes (glands) affected by cancer areas that are bruised or sensitive areas being treated with radiotherapy, during treatment and for a few weeks after it finishes the area around intravenous catheters (such as central lines) and pain relief patches areas affected by blood clots, poor circulation or varicose veins. It is also important to be particularly gentle if:
the cancer has spread to your bones you have a low platelet count (platelets are cells that help the blood to clot). If you usually bleed or bruise easily, or if you have cancer in your bones, speak to your cancer doctor before having massage therapy.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14056967/house-democrats-controversial-issue-reversal-trump-victory.html
Two Congressional Democrats have slammed the Democrat Party's views on transgender athletes in the wake of Kamala Harris' election loss to Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly made what he calls 'transgender insanity' a key plank of his platform on the trail, having said he would ban trans athletes in girls' sports. Congressman Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts representative who ran unopposed to retain his seat, and Tom Suozzi, who won and then kept George Santos' Long Island seat, are both speaking out. Moulton, who was also heavily critical of former mentor Joe Biden, said that the Democrats 'spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face.' 'I have two little girls, I don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I'm supposed to be afraid to say that,' he told the New York Times.
However, this appears to be a change of tune for Moulton, who briefly ran for president in the 2020 Democrat Primary.
He voted against passing a Republican-backed bill - the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act - as recently as last year. Moulton is also the co-sponsor of the Democrat-pushed Transgender Bill of Rights, which would allow trans participation in sports matching their gender identity. Tom Suozzi won reelection Tuesday in a race against Republican Mike LiPetri, a former state lawmaker, a victory possibly aided by tweaks to the district´s boundaries earlier this year that trimmed out a more conservative section of Long Island. The Democrat also slammed the party's kowtowing to the transgender lobby in an interview with the Times.
'The Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left. I don't want to discriminate against anybody, but I don't think biological boys should be playing in girls' sports.' He added that 'Democrats aren't saying that, and they should be' but Suozzi's record also contains pro-trans legislation.
