Labour's new National Curriculum is dripping with DEI and Left-wing dogma. Teaching Britain's national story is out, pushing more multiculturalism is in. It's the last thing Britain needs right now, says Dr Nicholas Tate.

Fas scheme workers abused in the social economy

Abuse of Fas scheme workers

For years fas neglected the welfare of scheme workers throught-out Ireland.

For years individuals were place through FAS schemes into organisations some of which treated these individuals as second class. These organisations often turned a blind eye to the treatment of these individuals by perminant staff and managers.

These individuals at the time were not only denighed access to recource in relation to bullying, but also exposed to breaches of employee legislation, and job portection.

These individuals were mistreated in charities that exist in the service of supporting others health, as well as government departments and charity shops.

The current revelations in respect of FAS miss spending does not in many ways highlight the true picture of the practices of FAS, and the real disgrace which knowingly neglected the suffering of individuals for years.

The suffering that these individuals experienced deserves recognition and at the vary least a formal appology.
