UKIP campaign on EU propoganda in schools

prober · 04-01-2007, 08:12 PM

This is again on the the UKIP website, and again there is no mention of what UKIP is doing about it. ie nothing. When it was on the website before as a Titford exposure I asked him ( a la new UKIP professional and credible ) what campaign UKIP would be mounting to either stop it as political propoganda or ensure parity of a parallel UKIP pack in schools His reply was "UKIP doesnt have the resources to do that ". ( ie merely flag up on web site and to press , job done ) .

Actually UKIP DOES have the resources but doesnt have the will. This is exactly what MEPs should be doing . they have paid staff and fat allowances. If MEPs cant be bothered to have a central campaign on something so fundamental to future public perception of the EU ( and hence UKIP's future) , at least they could make sure of the following , which wont cost them :-
A) Every branch chairman has an EU propoganda pack
B) Ditto a UKIP MEP designed EU exposure parallel pack
C) Guidance in how to determine if their local LA intends to use the pack
D) Guidance on how to effectively legally challenge the local authority
E) Guidance on most effective way to get a parallel UKIP pack accepted
F) Guidance on how to make it an issue in local elections

In the meantime we are back to good old traditional UKIP reinvent the wheel mode so ... to get something done
1) Does any one have the pack or knows how to get it or access it on website ?
2) Does anyone know if anyone has done a B & how it can be accessed
3) Does anyone have practical advice on D,E,F ?

Wasn't Geoffrey Bloom MEP quoted at length on this issue in the Yorkshire Post a few days ago? UKIP were credited there with having brought this scandal to light.

The packs can be obtained by schools in limited numbers, first come, first served. I have ordered 75 - the amount allowed for my Year 11 pupils.
The 1996 Education Act Sections 406 & 407 are the basis for the challenge.
I will be getting more involved in this - having spoken to the press office to-day. However, I am currently very busy as the five year old Ellie Lawrenson who was killed by her uncle's pit bull terrier was a pupil at my school and the fall out & press intrusion are overwhelming.
This opportuntiy will not be missed - Godfrey and others are working hard on it.

What is needed are teams of watchmen who work in schools and report pro EU propaganda being peddled to children. Dissident Congress has a School Watch section but this will only function effectively if a sufficient number of teachers and governors come forward and start reporting corruption of children's minds. Sadly most teachers hold liberal-left views, despise anything British, and are probably pro-EU so not many of them will be inclined to involve themselves in School Watch.

Kids are getting hit from all sides now.

1. MTV has the "you are a super hero" climate change add, with a big EU flag at the end.

2. Newsround (kids news) had a huge propaganda piece, only giving one side of the story again and again holidng up the EU as the saviour.

They have really started to ramp up the propaganda campaign to brainwash the kids into thinking the EU is the planets saviour.

Did you make notes on the bias (and of the time/date/channel etc.) and post complaints off to the channels with a promise that if they don't start reporting fairly you'll contact the regulator?

Investigations by Dissident Congress have confirmed that schools are not metric and the teaching and use of imperial measurements in the classroom is still legal. Metrication was introduced to schools gradually, starting in the mid 1960s with science O Levels, and later propagated downwards through the school system. The National Curriculum requires that metric weights and measures are taught, but there has been no piece of legislation outlawing the teaching and use of imperial weights and measurements at school.

Thanks Rachel for that USEFUL INFO. hopefully branch chairmen will get an update soon for concerted action by all ROs leading branches ( bearing in mind LA education areas overlap branch boundaries ) using guidance from above .
