Oliver Dowden and Gillian Keegan do *not* get to dictate what British values are. It’s pure culture war bollox. It’s not governance or integrity. It’s devious, divisive nonsense. And it’s all they do now. Plastic patriotism for inadequates. That’s it. The essence of Toryism.

They’ve been doing it for at least 12 years. Who do you think got to decide what British Values were taught in schools? Absolutely 0 consultation or agreement- just came from a random list of suggestions by very junior bod. Must teach BV - ok what are BVs? - not a clue- lets find some.

Nationalism is being paraded as patriotism as a distraction from the removal of our rights and protections.

It is misinformation with regard to the National Anthem. Very few educational establishments play the National Anthem for Graduation.
