Epping Court Decision

Spiked

Some will be happy with the latest court decision regarding the Epping asylum seekers.  The court said they must be moved from Epping.  So, that's that.  Off the go.  Where to nobody knows as yet, and I expect our MP will have been making clear that he does not want them in his area.

What sort of a life is this?  Chased by Taliban or Islamic terror, war and strife, unemployment and little hope for the future, so you move to where it is wealthy and hope for a life.  This is what many Scots were doing for a long time in days of yore.  The Lairds threw many off the land and replaced them with sheep during the 'Highland Clearances,' after this the lack of opportunity caused many to head for Canada, USA or Australia and New Zealand, or even South Africa, in the hope for a better life.  During the 1920s three of my aunts did this and headed for Australia.   The Salvation Army offered a £10 ticket to far off places for those seeking an escape from long hours, poor wages and bad managers.  Today, this is reversed, and while many offer sympathy and support others take advantage.

The right-wing coup that forced Brexit upon us by reminding the English that the world owed them a living, and that they were 'Gods chosen people,' gave many I know hope for a better world, though I ensured they would regret this.  Now many regret this decision, but few admit it.

One result was while members of the EU we could send back to France asylum seekers in wee boats, that no longer applies.  14 years of Tory deliberate misuse allows the white, English, working class population regard asylum seekers in boats as a threat.  The threat to such unemployed working class types comes from the men behind BREXIT, the billionaire bosses now counting their money and caring nothing for the Farage rioters.  

Many have come into the country seeking a new life, and often they have indeed come from war and disaster.  Who can blame them for coming here?  Many are highly educated, often to degree level, why refuse them?  The majority of others soon learn how to live here, crime occurs and the press scream, though most crime under the Law of England and Wales comes from 'white English.'  Many Farage rioters have 'domestic violence' convictions, how are they protecting children?

Those who stir up asylum seeker racism do so to make money.  The billionaires keep you looking away from them, the Tommy Robinson's because that is where their fame and riches comes from.  He now teaches, badly it appears, how to oppose migrants, £28 a minute, £37 a short video.  Then goes off to another foreign holiday with the woman he divorced, but who has all his money.

Clearly violent, rapist, murdering immigrants must be returned.  The vast majority do not fit that bill however, our NHS reveals this as possibly a third of staff come from overseas.  The quality is not diminished by this, but by governments being owned by private health companies.

Who knows the answer, apart from charging rabble-rousers and those who insist on provocation via Facebook or other social media with a crime and jailing them.  Farage first and all the rest to follow I say.

 

Demonstrate!

It's not everyday you find the park full of Essex police finest.  So to find them wandering about since before 10 am was a surprise.  Two or three were gathered around the gate, then others, with a variety of names across their backs, began to gather.

It transpires that a demo was to be held outside the (closed) council offices, regarding the asylum seekers who are housed in a disused airbase not that far from the town.   The local population cannot be more than 1500 and with a recent announcement of plans to increase the asylum numbers to 2500 anger was forthcoming.  

What is there to do in such a place?  Nothing!  How could 2500 strangers be coped with?  The several hundred there at the moment are one thing, this increase an unacceptable to some, problem.

So, they gathered at the council yelled and chanted, blew horns and noisy things, and within an hour or so had gone to the shops.  With the lasting effects of my cold I declined to go and look myself, but it appears no trouble arose, the police made their way home slowly, overtime was paid, nothing much occurred.  

What was the point?

The council went to court to stop this, the MP, a one time cabinet minister opposed it, and still does, and they are getting nowhere.  Does anyone think this will make a difference?  I suppose they have to do something.  

This I think, is slightly different from the usual demos.  The Tommy Robinson attacks on asylum seekers brings many flag waving, head shaven, large well built, and not too bright, Englishmen to such demos to 'protect women and girls.'  The fact that many of the 'Farage Rioters,' had convictions for 'domestic assault,' indicates something else.

What to do with asylum seekers?

First, ban politicians from using them as weapons to increase their popularity.

Second, close down papers that lie about asylum seekers.

Third, publish true figures rather than allow lies to spread.    

Fourth, lock up Robert Jenrick.

It is not possible to stop Tommy Robinson, he is on his eighth luxury 5 star holiday, this time in Northern Cyprus, with the wife to which he gave all his money. then divorced.  She just happens to be with him, having gone bankrupt herself owing thousand to the tax man and various others.  

I wonder who  is paying him?

Prejudice

A clip on Twitter offered the sight of an elderly middle class woman making a point about migrants.  She did not want any.  And when asked re those who flee war she stated that there was too much emphasis on war, giving the impression she did not believe them, or was just heartless. 

In truth, she was just indicating what she had learned from the likes of Farage, the 'Daily Mail,' and other right wing liars.  It is likely she had not investigated whether things printed were true or not, and this was a truth she wished to accept.  The woman is just another who cannot accept the world she grew up in is changing.

There is no doubt life is difficult for us all when we see our world change and change out of our control. Poor and deliberate bad journalism will not help, facts on all sides are misused to suit the opinion sought.  And when our world changes it can be difficult.  Whether the villages she claimed were 'scared' because of all the incomers we cannot tell, she was not asked to name such villages, though they may exist.  They may also be just another report from a housewife's gathering of course.

I notice changes in this small town also.  There are quite a number of single young men appearing, mostly of middle eastern/Turkish appearance.  Where do they come from?  Where do they stay?  Why are they alone?  Alone apart from those they accompany, and who are they?  Are they trapped in some modern slavery trap, though I doubt they would be running on the streets.  Did they come across on a boat?

There is no doubt it takes some getting used to when many foreign types arrive.  During the war such was inevitable, US airmen black and white, spent 3 years in the town, usually finding a warm welcome.  In the same way Italians built a POW camp outside the town, the wall erected to keep people out, not keep them in!  Germans took over that camp later.

The town survived, though these men, and they were all men, could have caused trouble.  A war situation may have opened hearts a bit, however, war and conflicts everywhere ought to open our hearts also.  Certainly it is easier to accept women refugees than men, they usually have children also, but questions must be asked re so many single men arriving.

The Farage's of this world will not stop lying, that is what he is paid for, and truth is not published by the daily press, so how are we to know the facts of immigration and 'the boats?'  Facts of course do not always change minds, our opinion does not always like facts.
