That's very Trumpian, much like.

We are getting much the same crap here in Australia

A tale as old as time. As the Jesuits said, give them the boy and they will show you the man.

The real scandal is being forced to pay a compulsory licence fee to a supposedly "unbiased" national broadcaster and have this be the outcome.

Interesting language in the Daily Mail. Anyone would think they are hoping people on the right get angry and claim the BBC are brainwashing

"A third example involves 'poorly-paid, demanding' jobs available in food processing. Pupils are told hiring locals costs the fictional budget two points, but employing migrants costs one. In this scenario, each option boosts the economy by the same amount, but hiring migrants costs players less."

Ironically those children may well become the locals that get sidelined by business wanting to save a few quid.

lol,wtf, later on:

"Citizenship pupils in Northern Ireland are told that while immigrants can put pressure on housing and hospital waiting lists, they also 'contribute more in tax income that they use in services' and 'make a significant contribution to the economy: they fill skills gaps, pay taxes, and spend money'.

Geography pupils in Wales, meanwhile, are told that migrants pump a 'staggering amount of money' into the economy.
...
The Northern Ireland study material also states: 'Some people may think that migrants take jobs from local people. This view likely arises from prejudice.'"

laugh Prejudice and the other game mentioned previously, fooksake.

only if you allow your child to participate in this drivel

If you spend some time with them yourselves you can censor this crap . Mine are 23/25 but we had this at school while they were growing up.

Exactly this.

BBC has completely lost its way.

The DM criticising the BBC? There's a suprise. I'm certain in my own mind they are not twisting the details to convince the already convinced the BBC is the devil incarnate.

Mind you, perhaps we should take notice. Let's face it; the DM knows all about methods of brainwashing.

It’s the daily Mail. If that story didn’t get you frothing, don’t worry there will be another along shortly.

It worries me that you can’t see this.

Not really.

As a free thinker you could try looking at the BBC material yourself and see if the Mail have misrepresented anything?

Or is complaining about the messenger as far as it'll go?

Impressive really that all the attempts at defence so far have dodged the actual target of the story, and just whined about where the story came from.

Either it's the quick lazy approach or it's just impossible to defend the content itself.

Have you not spotted that the primary function of the DM is to enrage its readership?

Have you also not spotted the DM's tendency to bend the truth to breaking point - sometimes beyond? "Winterval" springs to mind.

I have, the section on migrants and the effect on the economy multiple choice for a child is shocking!

Have you tried it?

We had BBC programmes on crossing the road when I was that age

Firstly, I never called myself a "free thinker". That sounds like something only a complete throbber would call themselves.

Secondly, fact checking the DM would be a thankless full time occupation. I am in no way obliged to do a little dance in response to every frothy-mouthed hate-piece they publish.

You just said you were a 'free thinker' confused

I didn't mention it.
