 Hi everyone and welcome to my latest policy review of the Forbidden 2020 Manifesto. Now when I say regularly this is the best manifesto in the country the issue I'm going to cover today is one of the reasons why and this is an area that is very close to my own heart and that I care very very deeply about because it's the foundation, it's the foundation of society and it's the building blocks of the future. It is of course education and I get it's one of those things like law and order where you think you wonder is this does every generation say the same thing? Do they all say that education standards are slipping? Well regardless whether that's the case or not it's my firm belief that education standards are drastically slipping, that kids are not taught to think or how to think but taught what to think I think rather than research into textbooks and literature, kids are finding pretty much everything online. I know online has its uses but it's not, it'll never replace fundamental research and experience and I do worry, let me give you an example. Mathematics, basic mathematics. How good are kids now on their time stables? Do we do time stables anymore? I'm going to sound like a real old fuddy-duddy with this but the good thing about the time stables were it taught us to add subtract in our heads, we'd need calculators or computers. I must sound a hundred years old when I say that but it's true and we are I believe kids are not taught as well as we used to be but even the things that we are being taught that kids are being taught in school are frankly dangerous and I will link to something below and yes this doesn't come from teachers but the ideological alliance between the likes of the BBC and the teaching profession is quite stark so the BBC on the day that of Brexit and I'll link to it below you may have seen it. I like to think nothing can surprise me any more but this actually shocked me. They were making a little cartoon, not a cartoon but a little sort of play thing of a British queen being told excuse me being told essentially that nothing was British and that everything comes from somewhere else. Well you know if that's the case if everything in this country comes from somewhere else then everything in every other country must come from somewhere else as well. I mean I think this this little sketch thing told us that tea was from India but why does India get to claim tea but Britain doesn't get to claim anything. You know we all know that the double standard is going on here but it is actually it's shocking and as I say that's not the teaching profession it's the BBC but the ideology is the same because the teaching profession of this country is dominated by not just people who lean to the left but the extreme left. The teachers associations the the National Union of Teachers for example extreme left organization with Palestinian flags all over its web you know this this kind of thing you get the idea. So what they are teaching children is not certainly not any pride in themselves or in this country they're teaching British children to hate themselves and how you know I don't need to tell you I shouldn't need to argue nobody should need to argue that being taught to hate your own identity is a really cruel and extremely negative profoundly negative thing to do to a person which is likely to have a huge impact on their self image their their self-esteem all of these things and yet we are cruelly teaching children to hate themselves and hate themselves is not a push or stretching it or being alarmist that is exactly what's happening so let me crack on with this then as with the other ones I'll simply read through the policy and offer a little bit of commentary it's a bit longer I think this might be the longest one in the in the manifesto so bear with me I don't want these to be too long so do bear with me and I'll try and keep the commentary to a minimum so here we go education children are a society's future I mean this is common sense what Britain's children learn today is the foundation of Britain tomorrow again this is common sense if children were taught in school to love their country and to fight for their country you would have a very different it would have a very different future to the one that we have now sadly children now as I said quite emphatically children are being taught to hate themselves the impact that will have will mean there's no Britain the Britain that we know the traditional Britain the Britain that is identifiable as Britain across the world many of us love that Britain and want to protect it it's will what the remnants of it that are hanging on will soon be gone and you can see it in universities etc with wanting to decolonize the library and there are too many white people too many white authors in this room absolutely absolutely shocking actually it's a racial hate crime but well we all know about privilege so for Britain believes that currently education in the UK is in a state of emergency again that's not inflammatory language I think we're actually quite being quite toned down there to be honest with you instead of being educated being taught the skills needed to pursue a career and how to be responsible self-sufficient respectful and law-abiding adults children are subject to enormous political and social propaganda well being responsible self-sufficient respectful law-abiding adults isn't what the extreme left actually wants because that's an ordered society in a peaceful and quiet society and they want revolution we all know that this is this teaching is shaping British society and sending it in a dramatically different direction left-wing propaganda dominates teachers unions and as such propaganda such as that surrounding Islam or chance trend transgenderism those two are the chief to is taught as fact so propaganda is taught as fact for a society to succeed its people must have respect for that society fairly self-explanatory in school's left-wing indoctrination into the ideas of multiculturalism and the demonization of Britain are the norm this means that British children growing up in growing up with a negative view of British society and its freedoms and indeed of Western liberal democracy itself in 2016 the National Union of Teachers Britain's largest teaching union passed a motion at its annual conference announcing its refusal to teach British values to children denouncing this as cultural supremacism instead the Union insisted upon promoting policies that welcome migrants and refugees into Britain there isn't a great deal I can add to that I it's it's an example of exactly what I've been talking about they refuse the NUT refused to teach British values calling it a mark of cultural supremacism incredible incredible extraordinary stuff none of them should be in jobs if you ask me but that's another matter reading right writing mathematics and learning skills are the building blocks to a working life for Britain salutes the reintroduction of phonics to the classroom and we will make this the model for language and numeric literacy we will emphasize focus on mental arithmetic arithmetic skills and the learning times tables and will introduce children to other languages from year one of primary school when their minds are most open to these skills again fairly self-explanatory we want people to be educated in schools to prepare them for the working world to prepare them for a career to prepare them for adulthood for responsibility but largely with the emphasis on the working world we need to get the educational basics right I have spoken to employers or recruitment consultants recruitment and the for example one of the ways that I think we are we are doming down as a country and a society is English now I know that English can be difficult and there are there always going to be a couple of quirks in English that you you are confused by but I think the standard has has enormously dropped and I've spoken to recruitment consultants who tell me that people don't even have basic a high level of basic English written English and this is a stark difference to 20 30 years ago so we need to get the basics right the educational basics right this is the primary point of school so let's get back to that at the old system of grammar secondary and modern secondary modern and technical schools was designed and equipped to make a great education available to all regardless of background giving mobility particularly to children from poorer backgrounds to meet the current demand for these types of schools we must concentrate on opening a minimum of one grammar school per town and more where funds are available to ensure every child can has an opportunity to to benefit from this again fairly self-explanatory one grammar school per town or more if it can be afforded in a bid to ensure that as many people as possible attend university quota systems adopted by both Labour and the Conservatives have meant that students are graduating with pointless degrees and mountains of debt when another career direction would have been more appropriate so for Britain will introduce a new national curriculum to be followed by all schools state public private and religious to outline minimum teaching requirements beyond the curriculum schools will be free to make additions provided they do not conflict with the curriculum and are free to decide upon teaching styles so the curriculum will include the following history history should be taught to children as it happened not with anti-western political spin children will be taught the true horrors of totalitarian regimes such as communism and Nazism they will also be taught the positive contributions that Great Britain has made to the world as well as its industrial and political history now this is really important and I said at the outset that the you know denigrating people's country can be have a huge effect on them as people it's an attack on their identity and the way they see themselves and therefore it can be quite damaging particularly against children so we're going to do the opposite of that instead of instilling negative feelings into children we're going to instill positive ones that make them like themselves not hate themselves but by telling the truth and the truth is that this country has made an immeasurable contribution to the world that should be celebrated politics children will learn how British politics works they will learn the machinations of parliament the party system local councils and the impact of the media schools will defend the democratic process as superior to totalitarian regimes and pupils will learn the value of freedom of speech open debate and individual liberty so at the moment communism and hard leftism is promoted schools we will promote freedom instead sciences children will be taught factual and unbiased science they will learn and practice scientific inquiry and open debate as well as the principles of science for example that true science attempts to disprove its own findings all aspects of science fact an opinion will be explored and this will be carried out without political bias again there will be actual science and actual scientific testing and actual the truth of scientific experiments will be discussed and we will not bury inconvenient truths that goes for a lot of areas of life mathematics as well as being taught complex mathematics simple mathematics which is crucial will also be taught children will learn how to add subtract multiply do fractions and do so without use of computers or calculators languages i wish i spoke more than one language i have fairly high level of french but i wouldn't be confident enough to say i spoke french but i think it would it's an absolute it's a huge asset for people to be able to speak more than one language and so i think and as the manifesto goes on children will be introduced to languages at an early age european languages as well as those from further afield will be included schools will decide upon which languages to teach in light of available resources my apologies english children will learn the richness and beauty of the english language they will read shakespeare the bronte sisters and other great british authors such as dickens or more recently george orwell they will learn the english language and how to write and speak correctly all schools will teach lessons in english only the only exceptions being welsh or galak practical living children must be taught the practicalities of life i've long long thought this they will be taught cookery healthy eating household budgeting banking mortgages etc finances taxes and obedience to the law we should be learning these things it's a minefield and when you go out on your own into the adult world these things you will you will need to deal with these things and you will need to know how to handle your money how to eat well and i think we should be teaching these things in school non-academic subjects academia is not the only route for children to take and non-academic teaching must be given high priority not all children will be suited to academia nor desire academia therefore skills such as car maintenance plumbing and other non-academic options must be on offer to those for aptitude or with aptitude for them fairly self-explanatory academia isn't everything again i can't be you know we shouldn't even need to say this sex and sexuality controversial one children over the age of 12 can be taught about sexual reproduction and its consequences in terms of disease and unwanted pregnancy religious schools and here's where there is a bit of a clash it's between the sort of the secular norms and secular morals with society clashing with what people teach in religious schools and i don't really see why this is such a big clash i think it's fairly easy to accommodate both and it's a great manifesto because i'm to say religious schools will be free to teach sexual morals in accordance with their own tradition but they must also teach that homosexuality or sex outside of marriage are legal and that homosexuals and transsexuals for that matter enjoy equal rights under the law this does not interfere with their religious right to condemn homosexuality for example as sinful but it does require children to be taught about the society they live in and that their religious tradition does not necessarily match the law of the land in a secular nation teaching on abstinence as well as contraception can be included in the list of options for human sexuality allowing children to better understand sexual morals and adult responsibility in this regard and this particularly is a big issue for me and a very important issue for me i find the sexualization of children over the last decade or so to be really quite disturbing i think that we need to push sex and sexuality back into an adult direction it's certainly where i would like to see it going so universities like schools universities in britain are carrying the heavy weight of political correctness and left wing bias as an example many universities disallow open debate and bar non left wing speakers from holding events and i can tell you that from lots and lots and lots of personal experience of being protested against that universities are so many times cancelled from speaking at universities um and i was to speak i think was the university of west london a few years ago quite ironically i was going to speak about censorship by universities and they wouldn't let me speak about it i'm sure they i'm sure that it's not lost on them i'm sure that the irony of it can't be lost on them so for example those critical of immigration islam censorship or transgenderism are routinely no platformed in british universities teaching is very often left wing as well as one-sidedly anti-british anti-american anti-capitalist and anti-israel so on that for britain we're legally obliged universities to hire teachers of all political backgrounds we will ensure genuine diversity of thought within british teaching institutions institute a university bias board to which students may complain if if an event of their choosing or speakers they have invited are disallowed for political reasons so we need a body that for example you know people who've invited me to speak students who've invited me to speak um have gone on to have their their academic careers destroyed and they need protection and they're certainly not don't have anywhere to turn so when they hire a venue at the university and they for example invite myself to speak and then all hell breaks loose um honestly i could really take offense that the hu ha when my name is mentioned uh but those you know if a student has their event cancelled by some busy body at the university they have nowhere to turn there should be somewhere to turn and something to prevent their academic careers being destroyed simply because they invited a speaker to speak in this apparent free country expel students who threaten to disrupt events with intimidation or violence based solely on the presence of a particular speaker and being charged criminal charges if appropriate if found guilty of such intimidation by the university bias board uh so once again this this board should have some teeth and it should be able to expel people so for example if one if the free speech society for example invites me to speak and the antifa society decides to put around threats saying they're going to disrupt the event and etc they should be expelled you cannot bully your way around university like that uh let finally end university quotas fairly self-explanatory for the points on this for britain will scrutinize the national union of teachers and place obligations upon them to teach the national curriculum as required those who refuse will be fired what puzzles me is how the n ut can pass a motion saying we're not going to uh we're not going to teach british values and just and just be allowed to do it you know this is it always it always baffles me we get all this talk don't we uh and you hear it a lot from the tories lately they're going to do this and they're going to do that and nothing actually happens uh absolutely extraordinary you can how we can stand back and watch people refuse to do their jobs and just do nothing we need to do something and that goes for a lot of areas of life end the funding of transgender advocacy groups and hold a public inquiry into their teaching in schools i've spoken about this several times uh transgender groups with absolutely no scientific basis what they're teaching has no basis in science they have made it up they are plucking things out of thin air they are creating a new uh range of genders creating them and uh teaching them to kids they're telling children there are seventy something genders pick one they are being funded by you by the taxpayer the government is paying these really really radical groups to go in and teach your kid that they can they don't have to live in their own body if they don't want to and if they have any self-image problems it's because they're living in the wrong body this is scandalous and should not be happening we would bring that to an end and very very much so big priority aim to build one grammar school in every town in the uk oblige local government to prioritize the provision of decent schools in their area because in all honesty uh i think government's local national whatever it may be should have somehow fixed priorities they should be forced to prioritize the basic things that we need to survive one of those is education and it must be a priority and that national government a central government doesn't oblige local government to prioritize certain things i think is actually a a failure of duty of the national government i i really do i think there needs to be a lot more instruction to local government on what to prioritize and how to spend the taxpayers money and the pointless degree culture by providing funding for the study of stem science technology etc subjects with the aim of ending tuition fees all together yeah again pretty self-explanatory funding for quote unquote real degree science technology medicine and mathematics etc etc it should be funded and with the aim of ending tuition fees all together i do think there is something wrong when people are starting their career already chained to enormous enormous debts this is not the way young people ought to be starting out in life um there's there's enough debt in life you know debt is going to come and actually i'm i'm going to i'm i'm reading a really interesting book which i'm going to review um the grip of death about the uh the levels chronic levels of debt that uh western society people vast numbers of people in western society are living with as if as if that's the norm as if it's ordinary to to spend your life uh up to your ears and crippling debt i don't think it should be and i don't think that people should start life start out their careers young people should start their careers uh already already with enormous debt signing over them um not the best start in life so that's education and again like so many of our policies i really do believe that these are this is what the country is crying out for um we want the we want to get the basics right we want people to come out of school being able to read write think add subtract um you know do things without a computer or a calculator uh and actually think for themselves and and make this country you know keep the standard of this country high to do that we need a decent education system i don't believe that's what we have at the moment i do believe that these policies that for britain's policies are the answer to the problems of the educational system if you believe that join us get on board stand for election get behind these policies they are the right policies they will work all we need to do is get them to the public uh and offer them offer them to the public for them to vote for and vote for them they will so i'll be back next week with foreign affairs another very crucial uh area of policy uh i am out and about i'm in scotland tomorrow so i look forward to seeing people there and uh i shall be back with with several more videos uh next next week a lot more settled in now and i'm looking forward to um well i'm looking forward to all the challenges between now and may but with policies like these we have everything everything to fight for and everything to work for uh get on board it is by far the best manifesto in the country for britain dot uk slash join or text uh join to 60777 do that and i shall see you on the campaign trail soon thank you
