Topic of debate: Improving the uptake of breastfeeding would reduce health inequalities by social class in the UK.

At the moment people from higher social classes breastfeed more than people from lower classes. The for argument is that if people from lower classes were to breastfeed their children (instead of formula) this would improve overall health and therefore reduce health inequalities. I have to argue against this (not so bad, just need to find research to back my points).

He was once refused entry to Britain. He has called for the Qur'an to be banned and has proposed a tax on wearing headscarves. And he is also the first politician ever to stand trial on charges of 'incitement to hatred'. Geert Wilders, instantly recognisable for his quiff of platinum blond hair, is one of Holland's most controversial and well-known politicians and, some argue, Europe's most dangerous man.

Bafta-winning filmmakers Mags Gavan and Joost van der Valk follow Wilders on his campaign trail during the recent Dutch elections, meet members of the international anti-Islamic network who support him, and find out about a conspiracy theory promoting the belief that Europe is being taken over by Islam.
