  1. I propose we have a new sub especially for the goings on of this family. They seem to be the Kardashians of this sub and I for one am bored of blocking people who post threads about them. quarantine them all in a new sub.

  2. I know his sister effectively ended her career in law not that long ago and now this gimp has hopefully ended his teaching career

  3. Does this guy have a legal leg to stand on? Could he argue that the injunction was unjust as it contravened his beliefs?

    I’m not for one second defending him. He’s a dick.

  4. I would advise the Burke siblings to untie themselves from their mother’s apron strings. Having said that, the fellah is entitled to his opinion and to act according to his beliefs. The pupil in this case is still a child. How can he/she be sufficiently mature and informed enough to make such a life changing decision and undergo this “transformation” process? Should there not be a legal age under which this is illegal , similar to the age of consent in sexual relations? The Department Of Education and the board of management of the school concerned are colluding in this process. There is something ethically wrong about all of this, I believe.

  5. The court heard Mr Burke objected to this, claiming a belief system was being forced on students and he could not agree with transgenderism.

    Hmm.. something tells me he’s just irritated it’s not his belief system being ‘forced’. Calling one kid by their preferred gender doesn’t hurt you.

  6. If I’ve learned anything from 80s prison action movies such as Lock up (Stallone) or Death Warrant (Van Damme), if he is sent to Clover hill he needs to befriend a bunch of harmless rogue misfits and stand up for what’s right against the bad guys running the prison.

  7. What is “purging contempt of court”?

    Is it basically saying “ok I will stop, I promise” and then being let free?

  8. If he is clever and l am sure he is then this is a once in a lifetime chance to raise a hell of a lot of money,all he has to do is start a Gofundme to ask for funds to defend his Religious liberty,the US Evangelical organizations (worth trillions of dollars collectively) would salivate with a case like this. To paraphrase the German Lutheran Poet,Martin Niemuller,first they came for the Burkes and yet l did not speak out…..

  9. His logic is bollocks. Calling someone ‘they’ has nothing to do with his religion, he just wants the right to pick on people he doesn’t like. There’s no mention of pronouns and him saying ‘they’ has nothing to do with him sinning or whatever. How could it, possibly, even as a Christian..?

    Fuck him, idiot torpedoes his own career and cries about discrimination. He went looking for trouble and knew it.

  10. This guy is like some weird hybrid of Ian Paisley and Jacob Rees Mogg,talk about becoming detrimental to your own cause.
