Nothing says “serious cultural reform” like sending 14-year-olds to government-mandated misogyny classes while actual lawmakers grunt, jeer, and eye-roll their way through Question Time like they’re auditioning for a particularly tragic pub panto.
🏛️ Teaching Respect While Demonstrating None
So let’s get this straight: the same government that’s now rolling out behavioural reprogramming for boys in school—complete with pathways, labels, and tick-box “respect workshops”—can’t even get through a televised debate without turning into a bar fight in suits?
If young men are learning disrespect, they’re not finding it on TikTok—they’re watching it live on the Parliament Channel, where MPs shout over each other, mock valid questions, and do everything but behave like role models.
The hypocrisy is Olympic. One arm of the state sends in pastoral care to deprogram Year 9s for vaguely raising their voice, while the other is full of honourable members braying like boozed-up seals whenever someone mentions child poverty, NHS wait times, or—heaven forbid—women’s rights.
And who’s running these morality classes anyway? A political machine that has consistently dismissed #MeToo allegations, partied through lockdowns, and forgotten the names of half the women in their own Cabinet? Brilliant. That’s like having Gordon Ramsay run a seminar on anger management.
Until Parliament stops behaving like the green-benched version of a Wetherspoons after last call, maybe it’s not the kids who need retraining.

Why are schoolboys being treated like walking time bombs while adult men in power can’t go five minutes without bellowing like it’s a rugby club roast?

Are we educating the next generation—or just distracting from a Parliament that couldn’t pass a behaviour exam if their career depended on it?
