And also having far right terrorist views apparently - he’s a kid ffs a gay Jewish kid being bullied - is this what the counter-extremism police are really supposed to be dealing with?

A Jewish LGBT group opted out of pride because they were seriously concerned about their safety. There seems a lot of crossover between the various protest groups around at the moment.

It is horrendous. My wife is an atheist but culturally and ethnically Jewish. Her father came over with Kindertransport. It has been incredibly painful for her to see LGBT people supporting Hamas and denying the rape, torture and murder of Jewish people. We are no fan of the Israeli regime and are horrified to see the scale of suffering faced by Palestinian civilians, many of whom are women and children. But to see LGBT cheering on Hamas, who persecute LGBT Palestinians as well, is disgusting. I see a lot of parallels with the TRA extremism because both have made us feel unwelcome in what should be our community as lesbian women.

We helped Jewish dc escape in WWII.
Adults were mostly left to their fate.
The British Quakers worked hard to help get Jews out of German occupied Europe. Jews were still classed as enemy aliens though.

Are you saying that stating the fact of there being two sexes and not wanting to be called queer is "presenting worryingly"???

No.

I clearly meant the whole list of things I'd previously given which you'd discounted as important and queried.

But are they relevant in this case?

The first post of mine you quoted was a reply to a PP who was focused on the status of this boy as a victim of bullying.

So yes, in that case, I feel a child might be out of sorts, showing subtle changes in mood, acting out of character, being aggressive, looking for a new group to find acceptance... all of which could look like potential warning signs of being at risk of radicalisation according to the training and common sense.

So referring is right.

I disagree. It sounds like utter victim blaming, especially as it sounds like the school did nothing about the bullying.

"12 year old referred to Prevent fir saying ‘I’m gay not queer’ and ‘there’s only 2 genders’"

Yeah, it was totally that and nothing to do with him saying "he wanted to "exterminate" his classmates and is described as having an "unhealthy obsession with weapons".

If what I've read is accurate. Nice title manipulation you got there to make this out to be a gender critical issue when it's not.

If what I've read is accurate

We've all read it, it's literally in the article linked in the OP.

The "weapon" is a wooden crossbow that shoots little sticks, sold by English Heritage for children aged 7+. It wouldn't hurt an ant. I wonder if the police managed to keep a straight face when questioning him over his 'unhealthy obsession' with a piece of wood.

There is no 'title manipulation', it's the headline of the story. His mum says the school contacted her and were 'incensed' by his 'gay not queer' comments and told her they'd referred him to Prevent for that. So it is a relevant part of the story.

the boys language about the bullies is understandable what with the schools failure to resolve racism. Must be incredibly frustrating and upsetting for the kid.

I can’t see why the two gender comments are an issue. Through legislation he is entitled to hold such belief

Vivian Wulf, you may as well quote Nick Griffin on why something isn't racist.
