British kids as young as five are now being read picture books that paint small boat crossings in glowing terms and urge them to open the door to unlimited migration.
While record numbers of illegal arrivals strain housing, schools and public services, left-wing charities are using taxpayer-backed programmes to turn classrooms into recruitment centres for open borders ideology.
More than 1,100 schools and nurseries across the UK have signed up to the Schools of Sanctuary programme, run by the City of Sanctuary network. The scheme requires schools to complete a "rigorous" award process to prove they are "working collaboratively to strengthen community approaches to welcoming refugee children and families." Once awarded, they pay a minimum donation of £75 to £300.
As part of the programme, schools are given a suggested reading list packed with pro-migrant messaging. One book, Kind by Alison Green, illustrated by renowned children's illustrators such as Quentin Blake and Axel Scheffler, tells children: "Sometimes people have lived through very hard times. They've had to leave their homes and their countries because of danger. They are brave and amazing and have extraordinary stories to tell."
It continues: "Sometimes people say there's no room for anyone more. But maybe you can say 'There's plenty of room! Come on in!' After all, if you don't let people in, you'll never know what you're missing."
Yeah, come on in! In fact, come on in and live in a hotel in a nice green village, all at taxpayer expense!
The book features a cartoon lion in a crowded boat with other animals and encourages pupils to share toys, draw pictures together and even learn words from a foreign child's language.
Another title, Everybody's Welcome by Patricia Hegarty, states plainly: "Everybody's welcome, no matter who they are, wherever they may come from, whether near or far."
No matter who they are. Never a truer word spoken.
The classic Elmer and the Hippos is also recommended. In it, elephants initially resent hippos arriving at their river because "there isn't enough room for them and us." By the end, the two groups work together and become friends after clearing a blockage.
Except of course, in this story none of the hippos go on a stabbing or raping spree. Something the UK is experiencing every single day now.
Schools are also encouraged to hold an annual "Day of Welcome" in June, complete with non-uniform days to raise funds for the scheme or local migrant-support groups. Secondary pupils can even meet real-life refugees promoted by the charity.
What could possibly go wrong?

Trott added:
"Portraying the arrival of small boats as a positive thing in books for children as young as five is indoctrination, this is an illegal practice. This organisation has already made clear its aim is to turn pupils into 'ethically informed change makers' and that crosses a very clear line."She concluded: "We must get a grip on these third party resources infiltrating our schools and peddling political agendas to young children."
The City of Sanctuary UK defended the materials, saying it "works with schools to support a culture of welcome, inclusion and understanding for all members of the community." It added: "Our suggested educational resources, including book recommendations, are designed to help children develop empathy, critical thinking, and awareness of the experiences of others."
A Pattern of School Indoctrination
This is not an isolated incident. It fits a clear pattern of using British schools to enforce mass-migration acceptance while cracking down on any pushback.
As we previously highlighted, the far left UK Green Party, which is about to become much more influential in Parliament with upcoming local elections, wants to teach children they have a "moral obligation" to accept unlimited immigration:
The current government has also urged schools to snitch on "anti-Muslim hostility" in an Orwellian crackdown:
Meanwhile, counter-terror police are running ads warning teenagers that sharing "funny content" online could amount to terrorism:
And a government-funded video game explicitly warned kids they could be flagged as terrorists for questioning mass migration:
Even primary school children are not exempt from the rampant indoctrination:
The message is relentless: British children must be conditioned to accept endless migration, share what little they have, and never question whether "there's plenty of room."
Parents and politicians are right to push back. Schools exist to educate, not to manufacture "ethically informed change makers" for the open-borders lobby. Until third-party political materials are banned from the curriculum and real scrutiny is applied to groups like City of Sanctuary, Britain's classrooms will continue serving as recruitment tools for the very policies destroying community cohesion and national identity.

Name me a time whan this was the case.

'The UK Descends Into Confected Antisemitism Hysteria' by Nate Bear May 4 [Link]
"The UK has descended into confected hysteria over antisemitism to protect Keir Starmer and Labour from being wiped out by the Greens in local elections this week.
The British establishment is well-practiced in manufacturing antisemitism hysteria, of course, having used it to destroy Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party when it got too close to power.
Now the UK’s political and media establishment is trying to pull the same trick, but this time on the Green Party and its Jewish leader, Zack Polanski.
This fresh round of hysteria really ramped up after a man with a history of mental illness (and of stabbings) stabbed two Jews in north London last week. Neither died and both will live. Omitted from almost all state-corporate media coverage was the fact that he also stabbed a third man, a Muslim. Also omitted was his history of stabbings (he previously stabbed his own dog, a Somali man, and two police officers), and his history of psychotic breaks. Despite the circumstances clearly pointing to random attacks by a person suffering an acute mental episode, the police treated it not just as a planned antisemitic attack, but as terrorism.
The terrorism threat level in the UK was raised to severe.
I remember when terrorism used to mean car bombs, political goals, manifestos and scores of dead people, not a mentally disabled man with a butter knife scratching a few people.
But the attack was perfect fodder for the British media and political establishment, who blamed support for Palestine and opposition to genocide for enabling antisemitism, and instantly began demanding pro-Palestine protests were fully outlawed. The environment of hysteria that ensued is hard to describe if you don’t follow British media or politics closely, but it has been extraordinary.
Keir Starmer gave a primetime televised address to the nation. His speech was a complete misrepresentation of the facts of the case, completely omitting the Muslim victim, completely omitting the man’s history of illness and random stabbing attacks. But they were deliberate lies of omission critical to constructing an antisemitism narrative. And it worked. Every headline, every news broadcast for a week led with the story about ‘the antisemitism crisis in Britain.’ I remember when terrorism used to mean something. I also remember when antisemitism used to mean something. And implying all Jews support the actions of Israel used to be considered antisemitic.
But now that’s all anyone with political or media power does.
Starmer said that anti-genocide, pro-Palestine protests have created the environment for antisemitic attacks. The Green Party’s opposition to Israel’s genocide, the media said, has fuelled antisemitism. The Guardian had a story on the Green Party’s ‘struggle against antisemitism,’ a story which presumably included how just eight months ago the entire Green Party membership antisemitically elected a Jewish leader.
And when you deconstruct the logical conclusions behind the implication that Jews are being attacked because of what Israel has done, it will break your brain.
Firstly the implication that Jews are attacked because of Israel, not because of their religion, means Israel represents all Jewish sentiment. But if you say Israel’s actions are inherently Jewish, is that antisemitism or not? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Israel is all Jews but not all Jews are Israel depends cynically on the argument being advanced.
Israel’s genocide? Not all Jews! Pro-Palestine marches against Israel’s genocide? An attack on all Jews!
Secondly, if Jews are being attacked because of Israel, does that mean Israel has done something bad? Because the media and political class have spent years telling us it hasn’t.
We’ve reached the point where everything is antisemitism apart from the thing that is actually antisemitism. And this is because the Zionists have lost the propaganda war. Genocide is not going back in the bottle. Everyone sees what Israel has done. Everyone can now see what Israel is : a genocidal settler-colony apartheid state run by ethno-supremacists.
The deliberate conflation of antisemitism and anti-Zionism then is intended to silence criticism of Israel, and erase the truth about what Israel is and has done.
It’s also intended to stop the Green Party inflicting a humiliating defeat on Keir Starmer and his Labour Party in local elections this week.
The establishment calculation is that if you can establish in the mind of progressives the idea that a vote for the Greens is actually a vote for hate, not a vote against genocide or apartheid, you can stop Labour bleeding leftist votes to the Greens.
If the Zionist establishment can reestablish that black is white, they think they have a chance.
But it goes even deeper than that. The UK establishment aren’t just using the attack for rhetorical purposes, they are using it to actually get Green Party election candidates arrested.
Andrew Gilligan, a former adviser to Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, and now a right-wing journalist, wrote a story about two Green Party candidates Saiqa Ali and Sabine Mairey who he said had made ‘antisemitic’ posts. Last week, he gloated that following his stories, they’d both been arrested.
The posts in question? In September 2024, Ali posted Free Palestine! and Long Live The Resistance! on her Instagram account. Mairey posted that an attack on a synagogue in Michigan, in March, was revenge, not antisemitism. Which it was. Ten days before he attacked the synagogue, Ayman Ghazali’s family in Lebanon had been murdered in an Israeli airstrike. His attack against an open and proudly Zionist synagogue was revenge. Neither of these posts, one made two months ago, and one made 18 months ago, were antisemitic. But in an environment of hysteria, Zionists took their shot. And now Ali and Mairey have been arrested. For online posts. For Israel. For Zionism. And to try and confect a fake narrative about antisemitism to stop the rise of the Greens.
Three people are stabbed every day in London. Over one thousand people a year, of all religions and none.
None of these ever warrant a national prime ministerial TV address.
Twenty-seven mosques in the UK were set on fire between July and October last year.
No extra security funding (Starmer has promised an extra £25 million for Jewish areas). No discourse about Islamophobia. Just tumbleweed.
But a random attack on two Jews gets the full national psychodrama treatment because it can be so usefully weaponised to serve the interests of Zionism.
Are people going to fall for this? I don’t think so.
Is Zack Polanski going to fall for this after seeing what happened to Corbyn?
Hopefully not.
We have more than enough evidence by now to know that you can never appease Zionists. There is no middle-ground, no strategy of accommodation.
Any concession is intercepted as a sign of weakness. As Corbyn showed us, once they’ve drawn blood, they’ll bleed you dry.
The only anti-Zionist strategy that makes any sense is one of full confrontation. The only route to victory is their full defeat."
