An academic in the UK has said anti-IQ “slurs” such as “nerd”, “geek” and “smarty-pants” should be classed as a “hate crime.” Psychology lecturer and psychotherapist Dr Sonja Falck spent eight years researching the impact of discrimination against high IQ individuals and concluded that intelligent people should be protected by the same hate crime laws as ethnic, religious and sexual minority groups. “The N-word was common parlance in the UK until at least the 1960s,” Dr Falack said at her book launch, according to The Telegraph. “Society at the time turned a blind eye to their impact by passing them off…

The opinion I held prior to the British election remains the same. I like Boris Johnson. I don’t trust Jeremy Corbyn or Corbynistas, and despite my scepticism of some Brexiteers, and their claim to be freedom-loving, I favoured Nigel Farage. Goethe once stated, ‘unqualified activity, of whatever kind, leads at last to bankruptcy.’ [i] Likewise, wrote J.R Miller, ‘in all of life it is the quiet forces that affect most. It’s false to consider noise to be evidence of strength, or to think that we are doing the most when we make the most bluster or show.’ [ii] Both were…

Being a British Muslim is the most natural thing in the world because Mohammed had British values, according to the popular British newspaper, The Independent. In a non-satirical piece titled, The Prophet Mohammed had British values – so the only way to combat extremism is to teach more Islam in schools, Sajda Khan argues that if we want to stop people from joining Islamic terrorist groups like Isis, British children must be taught Islamic theology. “This is a golden opportunity to develop within our schools a curriculum based upon the biography of Prophet Muhammad, which clearly demonstrates and embed what…
