Action against extremism has been badly hollowed out in recent years, just when it should have been needed most.
"That's why I have directed the Home Office to conduct a rapid analytical sprint on extremism, to map and monitor extremist trends, to understand the evidence about what works to disrupt and divert people away from extremist views, and to identify any gaps in existing policy which need to be addressed to crack down on those pushing harmful and hateful beliefs and violence.
"That work will underpin a new strategic approach to countering extremism from government, working closely with communities to build consensus and impetus for our plans."

I must admit I'm a bit surprised at how quickly Starmer is rolling out these authoritarian policies.
He's certainly in danger of alienating a hell of a lot of people and forcing them into the arms of what he inaccurately labels 'the far-right'. He's polarising British politics in a way that I've certainly never seen or known.

Basically, children will have their own thoughts and ideas quashed to make way for the schools manipulation of thought.. etc..
