Cant say I’ve ever had the urge to take the kids on a march - or myself for that matter. Although if I did, it’d probably be very happy to go on a say no to racism march with them.

That’s not to say I would be in 100% agreement with everyone there on other political topics - Len McClusky for example - but I’d agree with the fundamental message that whatever your political hue, racism is wrong. I wouldn’t say that was indoctrination, that’s simply the difference between right and wrong.

Its not an unbalanced view to stand up and say I am against treating people differently based on skin colour, background or religious beliefs.

Its informing that people believe opposing racism is "political". Very informing.

The very picture contains political slogans. It is quite clearly not solely about anti racism. Moreover, I don't need to take my lad on a match for him to understand it.

It’s just common decency  

 

Quite. Don't need marches to achieve that. And as I said above, the picture speak for themselves.

It's virtually impossible to find any of these marches, where folk don't carry political banners of one sort of another.

It's quite pathetic of fan5 to make out that these aren't an amalgamation of folk wishing to make a political point whilst hiding behind another (irrespective of whether they agree with its aim).

Ffs, young kids should be allowed to be just that, allowed to play and grow without being thrust into such an environment.

Just me maybe, but I reckon it's wrong to take you're kids on a political protest march.

I agree. If that's your bag crack on. No need to bring your kids. Very beardy weirdly in my opinion

I'd take my kids on one, it'd provide an ideal environment for them to hone their pickpocketing skills...

Maybe knock out a bit of gear when they're older?

Such an environment? Interesting turn of phrase, do you think children shouldn’t be politically aware. Apathy amongst young people is a real problem in disengagement on issue that direct effect them.

Learning this doesn’t just start at 18. Or it never did round our dinner table, whatever political background or viewpoint you held.

I don't necessarily think they should be brought along on marches either though. Unless they're a bit older and have expressed an interest in going off their own back. 

The guidance I'll be trying to give to my son is not to trust anybody who thinks they've got the definitive or an easy answer. Especially to the big questions like politics. People who think they're right about everything are usually the last people you should be listening to.

Last year I took a 3 & 6 year old (made the Bolton News) on a march through Leverhulme Park when the local Labour councillors planned on putting velodrome in the middle of the thing. It would have effected me personally and the surrounding area. To be fair there's little difference between what I did and someone dragging their kids along to a far right/left demo. If you are passionate enough about something then fair do's.

Why did you take them?

Often think the people who spout shit are the worst. "Know what you don't know" is a key part of learning. Dogs manage it.

Think that article is being kind to humans. A large part of the human race is fucking clueless about it and dogs outperform them.

I'll remember that one, thanks. 

Apt for Tommy Robinson supporters too. 

TR has just done a live stream from Rotherham and quoted some figures.

3% of Rotherham is Muslim.

2800 of them are males aged the same as the perpetrators 

494 are being investigated! 

If them figures are correct then that’s shocking. 

The figures arent correct and i only read as far as the second line

He's a serial bullshitter

None however I was thinking that maybe you could read the whole post before lying that someone is lying? Just a thought 

I didn't need to get past the second line

Not a great start when his first figure is wrong

And if you can't see a figure on the second line, it may well be bedtime

I wouldn't be surprised if 500 were being investigated

But not all from the same town
