Socialism, anti-fascism and anti-abortion on Prevent list of terrorism warning signs

Communism also among ideologies on document as human rights groups say UK scheme has been politicised

The Guardian
@openrightsgroup Once Upon A Time our council got given some Prevent money by central government. We had no idea what to do with this: I think we ended up giving it out as grants to local kids' football teams and the like.
@openrightsgroup Not clear to me from that article whether that is a change that has already happened, or something proposed in a leaked document like last time?

@openrightsgroup \

so if anti-fascism is a sign of terrorism, what is fascism ?

So I guess no more teaching sharing in kindergarten ?

@openrightsgroup Well, last week I talked to my students about competition law and upward wealth distribution, next week we’re going to look at Foucault’s power-knowledge and Arendt’s Truth and Politics. I expect a visit from the Home Office is now imminent. It was nice knowing y’all.
