Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew moffat

Welcome to the End of the Season, and to the Wyness Shuffle's annual end of season podcast. This year's edition: Survivor Series. Join pod regulars Andrew Moffat, Stevie Riley, Sandy Sutherland, Lee Tarling, and Andrew Young as they dissect the last two most enjoyable games of The ICT Rollercoaster of ICT Rollercoasters of a season; take a look at what could be ahead for ICT off the pitch, discuss the monumental efforts of Scott Kellacher and Billy McKay; debate the percentage of Skol lager, where to purchase an inflatable camel, if anyone can actually remember the Montrose game; and finally chat to two ICT players: Alfie Bavidge and Captain Danny Devine! 00:01:05: Introduction - We've Survived! Moff introduces the panel, and asks for their initial thoughts about ICT surviving in League One, the season that has just finished and the achievements of Scott Kellacher. 00:15:49: Game by Game Just two games to cover, but what games they were! We start by discussing the survival-clinching 3-0 stroll against Arbroath, then try to remember what actually happened in the 2-0 win on celebration day at Montrose. 00:35:51: Player Awards We pay tribute to the players who were voted Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year by their teammates and the fans: Musa Dibaga, Charlie Gilmour and Keith Bray. 00:50:23: Talk to Me: Alfie Bavidge Unusually, almost all ICT's loan players this season turned out to be stars, but none shone more brightly than Alfie Bavidge. The Aberdeen striker, whose goals played such a big part in the club's survival, dropped into the pod to tell us about becoming an instant hero for his dad's old team and revealed who his favourite Inverness team-mate was.     01:05:03: Administration – the endgame? In the final week of the season, it was announced that a CVA would be put to Caley Thistle's creditors on 22nd May. If accepted by the creditors, then the club will exit administration and be owned by preferred bidder and all-round saviour Alan Savage. We chat briefly about recent developments and whether anything could still go wrong.      01:13:48: Talk to Me: Danny Devine Remember Wyness Shuffle interviews with actual, serving Caley Thistle players? Well, they're back! Club captain and current longest-serving player Danny Devine sat down with Stevie to talk about his relief at surviving in League One, his memories of signing for the club under Terry Butcher, the dark days of relegation under Duncan Ferguson and being managed by Scott Kellacher and Billy Mckay.      01:46:58: 2025-26 Season Lookahead As always, The Wyness Shuffle will return with a bumper season preview podcast some time in July, but for now we look at who we could be playing in L1 next season before casting our eyes upon the transfer market and some Wish List signings.   02:05:15 Competition time Your chance to win some glorious ICT artwork! 02:08:00: Moments of the season The boys name their best of-pitch and best on-pitch moments of the season. It's been emotional, put it that way. 02:14:26: A View From the Fans We hear from a number of very happy Caley Thistle fans at the last game of the season at Montrose, and learn the words to great new song. 02:17:20 Bye for now Bye for now from us, and to two ICT legends, to whom we dedicate the pod and the season. ANOTHER SEASON OF UPS AND DOWNS AND AROUNDS… There's it.

The Kraken Wakes Something is stirring in the depths of League One. Harpooned by its own keepers, consigned to the bottom of the table in October and dismissed as a toothless nonentity by supporters of rival clubs, the behemoth that is ICT is rising again. Annan are being drawn towards its pitiless maw, and just beyond, Montrose are floundering desperately. Our intrepid crew of Andrew Moffat, Ross MacKenzie, Stevie Riley, Andrew Young and George Moodie climb inside the TWS bathysphere and descend to examine the phenomenon at close quarters: a 2-hour-and-39-minute journey containing over 30 years-worth of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Let's Shuffle!   00:01:10: Introduction / Highland Highlight Moff introduces the panel, and we reflect on some of the highlights of the past month, from the goal-getting heroics of Alfie Bavidge and Keith Bray to Billy Mckay's contributions behind the scenes. Also, some chat about fishing. 00:08:36: The Headlines For those listeners who have been doing media-free January, here is the news. 00:09:48: Game by Game The panellists discuss the recent home and away matches against Queen of the South, and Scott Kellacher's line-ups and tactical tweaks. We also revisit the impressive away victories against Alloa and Annan and the fine performance against Dumbarton that kicked off a successful January, and try to weigh up how ICT compare to the rest of the teams in the league. 00:39:12: Talk to Me: Cammy Harper Still only 24, Cammy Harper played first-team football for ICT under John Robertson, Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Duncan Ferguson, and also experienced plenty of Scott Kellacher's coaching. Stevie sat down with Cammy to discuss his move to Carlisle, the differences between Scottish and English lower-league football, Caley Thistle teams past and present, and Kell's qualities as a coach.  01:05:24: The Club On the football side ICT are in calmer, warmer waters, but in financial terms the whirlpool of administration is still raging, and the car parks are under threat from sharks. We take our monthly look at all things club-related, from wrangling over leases, to our incoming commercial business manager, to the work of the Supporters' Trust and the continuing success of Bar 94.   01:29:59 The Scottish Transplant Football Team The last Transplant Football World Cup brought together teams from all over the world, but Scotland wasn't among them. ICT season ticket holder and heart transplant recipient Duncan MacCaulay wants to make sure that isn't repeated. AY spoke to the newly-appointed manager of Scotland's first national transplant football team.     01:47:33 Donald Trump's Scottish Football Cabinet Donald Trump's weird, colourful and downright criminal cabinet picks made headlines all round the world. If he's searching for more bizarre characters to make up his government, however, he need look no further than Scottish football. We come up with an alternative cabinet for The Donald.    01:54:03: Talk to Me: Martin Bavidge Before Alfie, there was Martin. By our reckoning, Alfie Bavidge is the third Caley Thistle player whose dad also played for the club. Stevie spoke to Martin Bavidge about playing under Pele, choosing to remain part time in football, and the role he played in bringing Alfie to ICT.     02:23:23: League Lookahead We round off the pod by looking at our chances in February's games against Arbroath, Stenhousemuir and Kelty and speculating on where the club might finish the season if the current trajectory continues. There's it. 

A Winter Wyness Shuffle Wonderland God rest ye merry gentlemen and deck the halls with lashings of Scottish football! It's the Annual Christmas Wyness Shuffle Extravaganza. Join very special guest Shuffler ‘A View From the Terrace's Craig G Telfer' as he buckles down for the thrilling Polar Express that is the annual festive Shuffle. Hear the 2024 ICT story as reimagined as a Christmas tale, marvel at the magic of festive ICT themed puns you've maybe only heard once before, and join in the wide-eyed wonder of the Wyness Shuffle Secret Santa. It's all here, It's a Wonderful Life, Die Hard, Eastenders, Clay Davis from the Wire, plus all the festive football action and much, much more 01.06 Festive Tidings All your regular Shuffling Elves say hello, we introduce Telfer, and wonder what everyone's up to for Christmas Day.   06.21 Gamebird by Gamebird Before we get on to the festivities, we look at the football over the past three weeks. What games jingle our bells and what matches have given us the chills? We review the Arbroath anguish, the Montrose marvels, and the Scottish Cup exit to Cove. 34.00 Fan-tastic We get the views of a few Caley Thistle supporters on the new manager. 37.40 Talk Tinsel To Me: Craig G Telfer Craig is mostly known for fronting the excellent BBC Scotland TV show A View From the Terrace but he's also been podcasting for the Terrace for years, and now regularly hosts jobs for the Scottish National side. He takes us through his career, give his views on Caley Thistle, and reveals a startling revelation about TWS host Andrew Moffat. 01.03.47 Talk Tinsel To Me: Alan Savage Administrators BDO were appointed on 22 October, but just what has happened since? We've heard very little other than there are 20 interested parties. Other than the administrators, one man has more insight into any of this than anyone, so Stevie spoke to Alan Savage. And two previously unknown pieces of key info are revealed! 1.24.32 The Xmas ICT Story Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year, but as ICT fans we have all been part of another story, a tale with no end of Grinchs, Herods or Hans Grubers. So, we thought we'd mix fantasy and reality, and reimagine the ICT story of 2024 but the key individuals as characters from Xmas tales and films and stuff. 1.29.57 Craig G Telfer Best & Worst Telfer takes us through his best and worst. Hint: it's Maya Jama and Robert Borthwick. 1.38.07 The Festive Feast of Football It's the festive feast of football preview as we cast our eyes over the delicious spread of ICT action before us and wonder what will be the roasted tatties you can't get enough of and what will be the minging brussel sprouts. We focus mainly on the clash at Stenhousemuir on the 21 Dec before moving onto Cove and Dumbarton.   2.09.13 Secret Santa and Competition Time Some say Christmas is about the baby Jesus and goodwill to all men. We say it's about getting as many presents as you possibly can. So we present the very first TWS Secret Santa, featuring lego, traffic cones, Napoleon, Buzz Lightyear and a lovely jumper. Followed by the RETURN OF COMPETITION TIME! On Christmas Day you could be in with the chance to win a signed ICT shirt. There's it. Thanks to all for listening throughout the year. Please do have an amazing festive period and we'll see you all on the other side of 25. Merry Christmas from all at TWS.

THE A TEAM Inverness Caledonian Thistle is officially in administration as of Tuesday 22 October 2024.  On 2nd October, (then) interim ICT chairman Panos Thomas issued a club statement summarising the key findings of financial consultant Alan Savage's forensic audit, announcing the launch of a ‘Save ICT' crowdfunding appeal and warning that ‘unless the Appeal can raise £200k immediately, and certainly by Wednesday, 16th October, then Administration is inevitable.' On 21st October, after several days of rumour about last-minute investment, (now) interim chairman Scott Young confirmed that the administration process had begun. In this epic episode of TWS, recorded on the evening of the 21st, host Andrew Moffat is joined by Stevie Riley, Andrew Young, pod original gangster Ross Mackenzie, The Press and Journal's Paul Chalk, and some special guests to discuss what administration will mean for the staff and supporters of Caley Thistle, how the club got to this point, and what the future might look like. Is this the next stage of an inexorable decline, or the start of a much-needed reset? And despite it all we do try to have a bit of craic as well cause you've got to, haven't you?  Let's shuffle! 00:01:07 – Introduction and initial thoughts. Moff introduces the panel and gauges feelings about administration now being a reality. 00:08:18 – The October 8th meeting. At the recent open meeting in the stadium's Highlander suite, Scott Young, Alan Savage and Charlie Christie spoke to supporters. We discuss the key points that emerged from it and the mood among those in attendance.     00:18:51 – What will administration look like for ICT? Insights from the interim chairman.  We are joined for this part of the podcast by Interim Chairman Scott Young, who talks us through the potential timescale and structure of the administration process, the role of the administrators, the implications for club staff and for the club's SPFL status. He also reflects on his short but eventful time on the board and what his role might be going forward. 00:43:12 – The squad: what next? An inevitable consequence of administration will be the loss of some players. We discuss what the criteria for retaining or releasing players could be and what the squad might look like after the administrators' work is done. And if the manager, as he suspects, has already had his last game in charge, who might succeed him?    00:54:40 – The view from the north stand. Some die-hard ICT fans discuss their feelings about the imminence of administration. 00:56:35 – The A-Word: a fan's perspective. We are joined by Livingston fan Liam Innes, who reflects on what it was like to watch the club he loves go through administration – twice! 01:17:23 – The old regime(s). So how did ICT get to this point? We consider not only the mismanagement and negligence of the most recent regime, but also how the seeds of ICT's decline were probably sown much further back in the club's history.     01:30:20 – Talk to me. ICT groundsman Dale Stephen talks about work and life at the Caledonian Stadium under the shadow of administration. 01:59:00 – More views from the north stand. Our ICT die-hards share their hopes for the future. 02:00:40 – Game by game. Finally, some discussion of matters on the pitch! We review the recent games against Arbroath and Annan in the league, either side of the narrow Challenge Cup loss to Livingston. 02:16:50 – League Lookahead. A very brief chat about the upcoming fixtures against Dumbarton, Kelty, Cove Rangers, Alloa and Queen of the South. 02:27:20 – The New Era. Once the administration process is over, what might the future look like for ICT and how can we make it work? We share some thoughts and hopes. 02:38:09 – Competition winner. No competition in this episode, unfortunately, but we do reveal the winner of the 30th anniversary away youth top donated by Alan Savage. 02:39:50 – Final thoughts. A few last reflections from our supporters and from this episode's panel. The Season Starts Here. 

The Wyness Shuffle is back! Andrew Moffat, Sandy Sutherland, Andrew Young and Lee Tarling are joined by guest panellist, the SPFL's number one emergency assistant referee Jamie MacKinnon for a mammoth pod of ICTFC stuff. On this pod: We talk about all the football: all the draws, and a lesser spotted win, an update from the Supporter's Trust, league lookahead, famous interruptions, team selection, tactics, opportunities for young players, plus finances and the dreaded ‘A-word.' And above all we have an exclusive two-part interview with the man, the myth, the legend Alan Savage. 02:10 Headlines: Since last we did a podcast a lot has happened in the world. We talk about the big headlines: Trump, Oasis tickets, sausages and strictly. 05:20 Game by Game: Stenny and Cove: The boos rang out after the home draw with Stenny. We talk about what was one of the poorest showings this season, Lee tells us why he's had enough, before we move on to Cove and a slightly better performance the week previous but the same result.    24:00 The Emergency Linesman/Assistant Referee: We are joined by the brilliant Jamie MacKinnon, who answered the call in the recent Cove home game and ended up running the line for 30 minutes! He gives us the lowdown on his experience. 33:43 Game by Game: Alloa, Stirling, and Queen of the South: A couple of wins in here but it feels like long ago. Alloa wasn't too bad but we discuss how the points were thrown away. 40:38 Talk to Me: The Consultant Part 1: Savage in name but pragmatic in nature, Chairman of Inverness-based engineering recruitment business, Orion Group, former Chairman of ICTFC and now The Consultant talks about Investment, legal issues, crowds, the fan experience, land, and the council. 01:14:35 The Disruptors: The Cove game was interrupted by an injured ref, which put Jamie in an entirely unexpected position, but what other interruptions have there been in the beautiful game over the years or where have people popped up unexpectedly? Richie hart's dog, Yogi Hughes naked, Darren Jackson, big holes, locusts, Tory politicians, Alsatians, injured pigeons, dead racoons, Gerard Butler, Nacho Novo, Rottweiler care, Henri Anier's chat up lines, a big bag of condoms, and Jamie's Uncle. 01:24:00 The Supporter's Trust: The Supporter's Trust have had a long summer, having been heavily involved one way or another in the changes at the club, they've gained record membership numbers, been more public facing than any ICT fan group has ever been and are now running the bar at the ground. We caught up with Trust Vice-Chair Laura Grant. 01:47:17 Talk 2 Me: The Consultant Part 2: In this part Alan focuses on the Youth Academy, the return of old players, going to war, the club's debt, his expectations on the football front, and ‘a reset.' We then go off on a tangent and moan about the manager. 02:17.00 THE A-WORD: We discuss Alan Savage's recommendations to the board and take a very prophetic guess as to what they may be: administration, and what that might mean. What does ‘a reset' mean in reality? Could we claw back a 15-point deduction?  We thought ‘something big is on the table' and it looks like we were right. 02:23:18 Game by Game: We discuss who has the heating on before looking forward to Arbroath, Livingston, Annan, and Dumbarton 02:35.41 Competition Time! The return of Competition time, in which you can win a kid's 30th anniversary shirt. Courtesy of Mr Savage. 02:37:42 Final thoughts and bye for now

AKA The Mark Ridgers Show! Welcome to the third of our Caley Thistle Crisis pods, following on from the record-breaking download numbers of Long Way Down and 136 Miles from Home. Since we last put a podcast out, the Kelty plan is off, the Chairman has gone and the CEO is going. We talk about all of the dramatic events of the last couple of weeks, look back at our last two pods, the innovatively defunct Kelty Plan, the ringfenced youth academy and focus on what the future may hold in terms of investment and the dreaded threat of administration. And we do all that with ICT Number One Mark Ridgers! The now out of contract goalkeeper talks about this past season, offers his opinions on the current goings on and what the future may hold for him. Join Mark, along with Stevie Riley, Andrew Young, Lee Tarling, and Andrew Moffat as they dissect all things ICTFC. 01:30 Mark Ridgers: Mark talks the disappointment of relegation, the manager, teammates, and the fact that he is now out of contract but no one from the club has been in touch with him.   06:44 Worries: What is the main thing worrying the boys at the moment? Will we have a club to support? What is the bronze license? Is administration inevitable?   10:15 Downloads: Thanks to everyone for listening over the past few weeks. Some 3,200 people downloaded Long Way Down, our pod about Relegation and the Kelty announcement, and some 2,300 people downloaded 136 Miles from Home, our pod with now former ICT Chairman Ross Morrison. 11.17 Recap of events: A potted history of the series of events that led to this before we analyse the 137 word statement the club issued on 5 June. Mark gives his thoughts on the Kelty plan and the fact he and fellow players were not consulted.   20:18 View from the Fans: Liz MacRae, Jonny Campbell and David Moffat (nothing like a bit of nepotism, or maybe we only added these at the last minute because we forgot to ask for any) offer their opinions. 22:03 The resignations: Ross Morrison has resigned, Scot Gardiner is leaving, we discuss both men and their efforts behind the scenes, while reflecting on Ross' appearance on the last podcast. We go on to talk about the current situation both men are leaving behind and the football club's desperate need for cashflow. Mark also reflects on his time at Hearts when the Jambos went into administration, before talking about his seven years at Inverness, and his thoughts about Duncan Ferguson and this past season. 59.04 The Youth Academy: Alan Savage, chief executive of Inverness-based Orion Group, has come in to save the youth academy, pledging to cover any shortfalls with sponsorships of various types from £50,000-£100,000 and make sure the youth system is protected. We discuss. 1:08:43 View from the fans: The finances 1:09:46 Price of Football: We managed to speak to the UK's number one football financial expert, Keiran Maguire from one of the country's most popular podcasts, with Kevin Day, The Price of Football. Kieran is a British academic, author, and broadcaster. He specialises in the accountancy of association football and wrote the book The Price of Football. His expertise is frequently sought within English football media. So what did he have to say about the situation at ICT and how worried should we be (the answer is very)? 1:27:40  Investment and Administration: We reflect on Kieran's comments, the realities and processes of administration, how it could be avoided, debt, assets, other financial related stuff, how the situation affects current players and potential players, and what the likely scenarios might be for the football club. 1:53:03  Feedback: Amid the carnage of the last few weeks, as a podcast we've received some great feedback for the recent pods. Thanks for everyone whose dropped us a comment or message. We read some out. 1.55.15 Final thoughts from the Shufflers. ‘The Kelty battle has been won but there's a bigger fight ahead.'    

An interview with ICTFC Chairman Ross Morrison.  It's not often we record two pods in four days (as in never), but desperate times call for desperate measures. With the support still reeling from the ICT board's announcement that it intends to move all football operations to Kelty, we managed to get 35 minutes with the Chairman before he headed off to another board meeting. Andrew Moffat, Stevie Riley, Sandy Sutherland, Andrew Young, and George Moodie from the Supporters' Trust, sat down with club Chairman Ross Morrison to put some of the fans' concerns to him and give him a right of reply. The discussion begins with Ross's explanation of their reasons for the move; from there, we ask how much support the idea had from the rest of the board, about the extent to which alternative funding streams and alternative playing squad models were investigated, why supporters were not consulted at a far earlier stage, and whether the deal can still be reversed. The conversation also touches on the place of the academy and youth development at Caley Thistle going forward, and whether it has been possible to do anything about contracts for last season. We talk about the financial position of the club more generally. Above all, we ask Ross if he really appreciates the anger and sense of betrayal among the supporters over the Kelty scheme and the way it was announced. We also ask about the potential impact of the likely boycott on season ticket renewals should it go ahead, and we emphasise the widespread feeling that the CEO's position is no longer tenable.  We did our best! Let's see what happens...  #BringItOnHome

We talk about:  Initial thoughts when he was announced Arbroath 2-3 ICT His background Short term and long term Media interest Manager not Head Coach Supporters Trust meeting & League Lookahead   All that and 29 years-worth of ICT references packed into an hour of wild conjecture and mild distraction. Enjoy.   

A snap reaction pod to the news that ICTFC have dispensed with the services of Manager Billy Dodds and assistant Barry Wilson.  A full house of Andrew Moffat, Sandy Sutherland, Stevie Riley, Andrew Young, Andrew Sutherland actually do pack everything into one hour of chat for a change. And Suv returns with a baby in the background, hence the pod title.  We discuss Billy Dodds' departure, what went wrong, and what's going on with the football club in general. Plus the big question, who do we turn to next, and why is this the biggest crossroads and decision that the club has ever faced?  Note there was not a lot of planning for this pod but a hell of a lot of opinions. The first 30 mins deals with the fallout. The second 30 looks at the future.   Let's Shuffle.

The Taranaki Sports Hall of Fame is branching out from the way it usually does things to get new inductees. Andrew Moffat's with Sport Taranaki, he explains their change in approach to Jesse.

It's Question Time with ICT CEO Scot Gardiner!  At a time when many questions are being raised about the health and future direction of Caley Thistle on and off the park, the club's Chief Executive agrees to address some of the biggest ones.  Questions were drawn from across the spectrum of the ICT support, with the Supporter's Trust, Section 94 and the Wyness Shuffle reaching out to all supporters for the questions that matter to you.  Asking the questions: Jen Aitchison from the ICT Supporters' Trust, Dan Smith from Section 94, and Andrew Moffat, Stevie Riley and Andrew Young from The Wyness Shuffle.

In March 2019 crowds of parents gathered outside a primary school in central Birmingham. The angry, placard carrying mob tapped their feet and welded signs reading “My child, my choice”, “let kids be kids”   Their concern? A program called No Outsiders which taught that bullying was bad and no one should be made to feel isolated. Oh, included in that was a note that same sex relationships were ok. But who won the court case..... parents of the school?   This episode covers education in schools, the rise and fall of section 28 and a quick journey into Aarons experience of teaching sex education in schools (it was rough!)   With host comedian Aaron Twitchen (@aarontwitchen on all platforms) Www.iloveaaron.co.uk   Resources and further reading: As always, the greatest start point is Stonewall website: www.stonewall.org.uk   Link to the no outsiders website providing great training, lesson plans and educational materials: https://no-outsiders.com/    BBC news story from the protests: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-47569096    Excellent piece from huffing on post with no Outsiders creator Andrew Moffat https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/andrew-moffat-interview-parkfield-school-no-outsiders-pr otests-one-year-on_uk_5ef5ecadc5b612083c4c57bf   Voting records of your mp are shared here and regularly updated https://www.theyworkforyou.com/ - voting records

In this week’s episode, Emma Park speaks to Megan Manson about Operation Christmas Child, a programme that encourages schoolchildren and youth groups around the UK to send Christmas shoeboxes to children in developing countries. Those sending the shoeboxes may not be aware that they are being used as part of a conversion drive by an evangelical Christian charity, Samaritan’s Purse. The case raises the question of whether ‘the advancement of religion’ should still be a charitable purpose. Emma then speaks to Alastair Lichten about the NSS’s revelation that 20,000 children have been assigned to faith schools in the state sector this year despite their parents opting for a non-faith school as their first choice. The episode also features highlights from our 2019 Bradlaugh Lecture. Assistant head Andrew Moffat defended inclusive education in his talk ‘No Outsiders: Reclaiming Radical Ideas in Schools’.

Andrew teaches at Parkfield Community School near the deprived Bordesley Green area of Birmingham, which is home to a considerable mix of ethnicities and where over nine in ten pupils speak English as an additional language. His “No Outsiders” programme teaches inclusiveness and diversity. Andrew has extended this ethos to parents through the use of parent/child workshops and he has extended the programme, with schools taking forward “No Outsiders” in many cities across the UK. Andrew now also uses “No Outsiders” as a tool to reduce the potential for radicalization. Andrew also runs a “Parkfield Ambassadors” after-school club that creates opportunities for children at his school where 99% of students are Muslim to meet others of different races, religions and cultures around Birmingham. Take a class with one of the top 10 finalists for the 2019 Global Teacher Prize. Each live, 30-minute lesson will showcase the different methods, learnings and values that helped to secure the teacher's place in the final of the US$1 million prize.   #GESF @VarkeyFDN

The No Outsiders programme was created in 2014 by Andrew Moffat, the assistant headteacher at Parkfield Community School in Birmingham. The programme aims to teach children about the characteristics protected by the Equality Act - such as sexual orientation and religion. Books used in the programme include stories about a dog that doesn't feel like it fits in, two male penguins that raise a chick together and a boy who likes to dress up like a mermaid. But some parents at Parkfield Community School in Birmingham say lessons featuring books depicting same-sex relationships are not age-appropriate.  The lessons have created a furious debate, involving court injunctions and many pages of opinion columns.  The debate ultimately raises the big question about to what extent societies need to share the same values, and how those values are communicated to the next generation. Does a cohesive society have to uphold a shared and single version of the Good?  Or is okay for views on this topic to diverge? Should there be many different schools teaching different perspectives? Is it right for a state education system to impose a particular set of moral values on everyone, even if we are sympathetic to them? To what extent should the state shape and determine attitudes and feelings, and thought? Joining the IEA's digital manager Darren Grimes to discuss is Joanna Williams, associate editor at spiked and Benjamin Butterworth, Weekend Editor and reporter for the i newspaper. 

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5662INGHILTERRA FUORI CONTROLLO: 5 MEDICI SI DIMETTONO PER NON ESSERE COMPLICI DEI TRAUMI DEGLI ESPERIMENTI TRANSGENDER SU BAMBINI di Luca MarcolivioLa fortezza del gender battente bandiera britannica, fino a ieri inespugnabile, inizia a mostrare le prime crepe. È di un paio di settimane fa la clamorosa inchiesta del Times, scaturita dalle rivelazioni di cinque medici inglesi che hanno rassegnato le dimissioni dal Gender Indenty Development Service (Gids) di Londra, l'unica clinica d'Oltremanica specializzata nel curare la disforia di genere nei minori. Il motivo? I trattamenti ormonali e chirurgici per gli adolescenti sarebbero condotti in modo arbitrario e senza veri criteri scientifici.In altre parole, migliaia di bambini e ragazzi sono oggetto di un "esperimento" sulla loro pelle. I medici dimissionari, secondo quanto da loro affermato al Times, avrebbero ricevuto pressioni da parte di associazioni Lgbt - una su tutte, Mermaids - per la somministrazione di trattamenti ormonali irreversibili, per il blocco dello sviluppo sessuale secondo il genere di nascita. In alcuni casi, tali trattamenti iniziano addirittura a soli tre anni, quindi, verosimilmente per il capriccio dei genitori di volere un bambino transgender. A sedici anni, poi, secondo il protocollo, inizierebbe la somministrazione di ormoni del sesso opposto.Molti dei giovanissimi pazienti, nella sostanza, sarebbero stati avviati forzosamente verso la transizione ormonale irreversibile, senza dare loro la possibilità di una terapia alternativa di carattere psicologico e non farmacologico. Secondo le testimonianze, alcuni bambini ancora in conflitto con la propria identità sessuale, venivano identificati frettolosamente come transgender.«Negli ultimi due anni del mio lavoro, ho avuto la sensazione che un gran numero di bambini fosse in pericolo», ha confidato uno dei medici intervistati. «Io ero lì per proteggere i bambini dall'essere danneggiati». Un altro medico ha dichiarato: «Questo trattamento sperimentale è stato compiuto anche su bambini molto vulnerabili». Per i cinque medici, l'unica motivazione a non rassegnare inizialmente le dimissioni, era stata quella di evitare ai loro giovani pazienti un cambio di sesso giudicato troppo avventato.Parere unanime dei cinque (anche se in tutta la clinica, il numero di medici dimessisi per gli stessi motivi è pari a diciotto) è che tale «trattamento sperimentale» si sia rivelato «dannoso». Accuse respinte dalla struttura sanitaria. «Cerchiamo di aiutare i giovani e le loro famiglie a far fronte all'angoscia e a ridurla», è stata la replica ufficiale sul sito della (Gids). «Il nostro obiettivo è comprendere gli ostacoli che si frappongono tra i giovani e lo sviluppo di un'identità di genere più stabile e sicura».Ai cinque medici era assegnato il compito di decidere a quali pazienti somministrare i bloccanti ormonali per arrestarne lo sviluppo sessuale. Alcuni dei bambini e ragazzi sarebbero stati indotti ad avviare il trattamento dopo essere stati vittime di bullismo omofobico. Alcuni di loro tenderebbero ad assumere un'attitudine trans, con l'obiettivo più o meno consapevole di superare traumi come l'abuso o il lutto in famiglia o anche le conseguenze dello spettro autistico. Sono complessivamente 2519 i giovani mandati presso la clinica per avviare la terapia per il cambio di sesso. Nel 2010 erano stati "appena" 94.Nota di BastaBugie: ecco altre notizie dalla Gran Bretagna sul "gaio" mondo gay (sempre meno gaio).IL PRINCIPE HARRY SUPPORTA UNA LOBBY PRO BABY TRANSL'organizzazione inglese Sirene, che si occupa di bambini trans per facilitarsi nella cosiddetta transizione di genere, ha annunciato che il principe Harry appoggerà tramite la Royal Foundation le loro attività. La direttrice di Sirene Susie Green ha così commentato: "Penso che sia sempre molto importante per i giovani vedere le persone autorevoli e credibili come il Principe Harry supportarli e aiutarli"E così le lobby favorevoli al transessualismo dei bambini hanno trovato un testimonial reale.(Gender Watch News, 10 maggio 2019)ALCUNI MASCHI POSSONO AVERE IL CICLO (???)A Brighton un consiglio di insegnanti ha partorito un report di educazione sessuale dedicato agli studenti in cui si afferma che "le mestruazioni devono includere tutti i sessi", questo perché "Trans, ragazzi e uomini e persone 'non binary' possono avere il ciclo". Ovviamente ci si riferisce a donne diventate transessuali o donne che non si sentono né femmine né maschi. E dunque gli insegnanti hanno pensato bene di mettere il contenitore per gettare gli assorbenti in tutti i bagni anche in quelli maschili.Gli insegnanti hanno spiegato così questa delirante iniziativa: "Incoraggiando un'educazione efficace sulle mestruazioni e sulla pubertà, speriamo di ridurre lo stigma e garantire che nessun bambino o giovane si vergogni di chiedere prodotti per le mestruazioni all'interno o all'esterno della scuola se ne hanno bisogno. Il nostro metodo riconosce il fatto che alcune persone che hanno il ciclo sono trans o non binari".Dunque avere il ciclo sarebbe uno stigma sociale. Per essere tutti uguali, tutti, maschi compresi, devono essere in grado di avere le mestruazioni. Purtroppo non siamo tutti uguali, a partire dall'intelligenza.(Gender Watch News, 5 gennaio 2019)LICENZIATA DALLA SCUOLA PERCHÉ CONTESTA I CORSI LGBT RIVOLTI AL SUO BAMBINOLa sua "colpa" è stata criticare sulla sua pagina Facebook dei corsi imbevuti di propaganda Lgbt, adottati dalla scuola elementare frequentata dal figlio e facente capo alla Chiesa anglicana. Per questa ragione una quarantatreenne inglese, Kristie Higgs, madre di due bambini e sincera cristiana, è stata licenziata dalla scuola secondaria di Fairford (Inghilterra meridionale), la Farmor's School, in cui ha lavorato negli ultimi sei anni come assistente pastorale. Il licenziamento è arrivato nonostante il curriculum della Higgs fosse senza macchia, come riferisce il Daily Mail.I guai per la signora Higgs sono iniziati dopo aver pubblicato un post su Facebook, datato 24 ottobre 2018, in cui esortava i suoi contatti a firmare una petizione di Citizen Go contro l'educazione sessuale obbligatoria nelle scuole primarie, che secondo i piani del governo sarà effettiva da settembre 2020. «Stanno facendo il lavaggio del cervello ai nostri figli», scriveva la donna, avvertendo che ai bambini sarebbe stato insegnato che le relazioni omosessuali sono normali ed equivalenti al matrimonio, nonché la possibilità di "scegliere" il proprio sesso, a prescindere dal dato biologico. La Higgs esplicitava poi la conseguenza logica di un simile indottrinamento obbligatorio: «Significa che esprimere e insegnare le fondamentali credenze cristiane, relative alla creazione degli uomini e delle donne e al matrimonio, diverrà in pratica proibito, perché esse confliggono con la nuova moralità [...]». E aggiungeva che «questa è una tremenda forma di totalitarismo mirata a sopprimere il cristianesimo e rimuoverlo dalla sfera pubblica». Un'analisi che si può sottoscrivere per quanto è lucida.In un altro post la Higgs contestava due libri inclusi nel curriculum della scuola del suo bambino e pieni di omosessualismo e transessualismo (il titolo di uno dei due volumi dice già tutto: Reclaiming radical ideas in schools), scritti da un attivista Lgbt, Andrew Moffat, nell'ambito del programma No Outsiders, lo stesso già contestato dalle famiglie di una scuola elementare di Birmingham e sospeso perché allora, a chiedere lo stop dell'indottrinamento arcobaleno verso i propri figli, erano intervenuti un gran numero di genitori musulmani.Il procedimento disciplinare contro la Higgs è iniziato dopo la ricezione di un'email anonima in cui veniva accusata di «postare opinioni omofobe e preconcette». L'istituto, che adopera immagini e campagne comunicative del tutto prone all'ideologia arcobaleno, ha quindi fatto la sua bella indagine sui due post pubblicati via Facebook (che risultavano visibili solo agli amici della donna), arrivando al licenziamento della signora Higgs per condotta riprovevole, dettata da «discriminazione illegale», «grave uso inappropriato dei social media», «commenti online che potrebbero portare cattiva fama alla scuola e danneggiare la reputazione della scuola». Una criminale, probabilmente, sarebbe stata trattata meglio. Già dall'inizio dell'indagine, riferisce la madre inglese, «mi è stato ripetutamente detto: "Questo non ha nulla a che fare con la tua religione". Era chiaramente una tattica legale e ovviamente qui tutto ha a che fare con la mia religione».La Higgs ha chiesto aiuto legale al Christian Concern, un gruppo che si batte per la libertà di fede dei cristiani, e ha deciso di fare causa alla Farmor's School per licenziamento ingiusto. Non possiamo sapere come andrà a finire ma intanto un fatto è evidente: una madre e onesta lavoratrice ha perso il suo lavoro per aver manifestato delle idee di assoluto buonsenso, che erano ritenute scontate appena qualche anno fa ma che nelle nostre progreditissime società, sottomesse alla fantomatica tolleranza del "love is love", sono divenute motivo di persecuzione.(Ermes Dovico, La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, 27 aprile 2019)

The primary school teacher at the centre of a row over LGBT rights has said he's received threats. Pupils have been pulled out of Parkfield School in Birmingham and parents have protested outside the school gates, chanting 'Say no to No Outsiders'. No Outsiders is the programme Andrew Moffat designed to teach pupils to be accepting of different types of people - despite their race, religion or sexuality. Some story books he uses feature families with two mothers or two fathers. He says he designed the programme so that no child has to hide who they are as he did when he was young.

As an assistant headteacher, Andrew Moffat has introduced a policy promoting diversity at Parkfield community school in Birmingham. His No Outsiders message teaches children to welcome those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender as well as people of any race, colour or religion. It’s been a huge success - parents, teachers and governors support Andrew’s work despite 98% of the school’s pupils being Muslim. In this episode Will and Chris travel to the school to meet him and learn how his efforts to spread LGBT awareness and understanding haven’t always been appreciated: Andrew left his previous school after parents complained about him telling the children he was gay. He tells Will and Chris what he learned from this experience and how he convinced Parkfield’s parents that children can be taught about Britain’s anti-discrimination laws without undermining their religious beliefs. Plus - listeners tell us their memories of school, Chris has been finding out about surrogacy and Will remembers a very awkward evening involving a video of Neighbours and a dog basket.
