A Conservative MP has said anyone using the term “white privilege” should be reported to the government’s counter-terror programme, and that teachers who criticise the Conservative party should be sacked.One assumes he was talking to a lunatic fringe meeting, yes?
Jonathan Gullis told a fringe meeting during the party’s conference in Manchester last week that anyone using the phrase should be referred to the government’s Prevent programme, which is used to track potential terrorists.
According to a recording obtained by the Independent, he told activists: “The term white privilege – very quickly – is an extremist term, it should be reported to Prevent, because it is an extremist ideology.
“It’s racist to actually suggest everyone who’s white somehow is riddled with privilege.”
Gullis, who is a former member of the parliamentary education select committee, was speaking at an event organised by the Conservative Friends of Education group. He added: “I hope [using the term white privilege] will be reported, I hope that will be looked into, and any teacher who’s perpetuated it in the classroom ultimately should face a disciplinary hearing at the very least.”...

“The other way we can stop the cancel culture is by actually saying to the woke left lecturers and the woke left teachers – who seem to be becoming more and more apparent – is that ultimately, what’s going to happen if you are going to push your ideology in the classroom there are going to be consequences for you,” he said.
“For some reason, if a Labour party member wants to stand up in front of the classroom and say how bad and evil the Tories are, then the headteacher has to take some kind of sympathetic view to that.
“It’s absolutely disgusting, we need to start sacking people who are pushing their political ideology.”
The Conservative party has been contacted for comment.

Gullis worked in schools from 2012-2019, comparing his teaching experiences to boxing. Gullis described his classroom personality as "a mixture of Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg", and claimed that he "liked to play the character of an English gent". Gullis says that he was "nicknamed Grumpy Gullis – because I never smiled", a persona he adopted after "crying in front of a class" because they "just took the mick with their behaviour". Upon being elected to parliament Gullis left work at Fairfax School and Greenwood Academy in Birmingham, and he described the pupils he was responsible for as head of year as " probably happy to see me go”.Yes, I'm sure his nickname was "Grumpy". And definitely not a word beginning with C that sort of rhymes with Grumpy.
Gullis described his classroom personality as "a mixture of Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg", and claimed that he "liked to play the character of an English gent".Well neither Johnson or Mogg are "english gents" - the former is probably best described in the terms Gullis seems to like as a cad and a bounder, and Mogg is a Dickensian villain. One is notorious for lying, laziness, avoiding responsibility and inappropriate behaviour, while the other is arrogant, hubristic and ultimately quite stupid, insisting on adherence to incorrect and misunderstood grammar rules and archaic units.

Border Force staff who enact Priti Patel’s plans to “push back” migrant boats in the Channel could be given immunity from conviction if a refugee dies, officials have confirmed.Adolf Hitler, where is you now that we be needing you?
The home secretary is seeking to introduce a provision in the nationality and borders bill that could give officials legal protections in the event that someone drowns.
Whether the provision, tucked away in an obscure corner of the bill, would actually protect officers from conviction under international maritime laws could be tested in the courts...
