Many humanists are concerned about the role of toxic masculinity in the crusade to dismantle caring societies. The topic of this year's Holyoake Lecture could not be more pertinent.

Come with us to the darkest corners of the manosphere...

The latest battle in an ongoing hybrid war.
It's looking like another defeat for the UK, against a powerful alliance of foreign oligarchs and corporations. All enabled by an influential network of grifters and shills, who present themselves as 'patriots' but are clearly anything but.

Secularism is a framework for fairness that allows religions to coexist without dominating public life. It ensures that no faith – Christian, Muslim, or whatever – trumps the rights of others. The future of British democracy and social cohesion depends on it.

Did you know that for the past 25 years, there's a law that's been quietly defending your rights every day?

That's the Human Rights Act at work

Humanism is not a fringe or ‘woke’ idea; it is rooted in the very best of British traditions: fairness, reason, and believing in the good that people are capable of when free to live their lives without fear or prejudice.
Don't be dragged backward by a radical minority.

There is a £40bn tax hole and govt must hike taxes, say headlines.

None said that HMRC didn't collect £46.8bn last yr. 40% (£18.6bn) relates to corporations. £500bn since 2010.

NAO says wealthy are dodging taxes. Corporations shift profits to dodge taxes.

Why hit the little people?

What a revelation 😮
Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with their story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. The Salt Path became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.

But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth.

Robert Reich nails it 🔽
The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich.

It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.
