Bye for now


Trump won and is in the process of losing it big time, Europe is fucked, the world is becoming a toxic and fascist nightmare, the whole of Africa is reverting to corrupt tribalism, China must remember that repressing millions is ultimately futile and Putin is running a once proud population into the ground, making friends with and giving sanctuary to other "leaders" of disrepute, not forgetting Israel who seem to be brewing a regional war for themselves whilst Trump, as pathologically eager as ever to keep himself in the headline, has joined in. He and his cronies are beyond words.

You get my drift. I'm going back to reading books and listening to music in a fairly simple, isolated life. Bye for now. 

Thank you all



I started this bloggy thing years back, to get me out of life's humdrum work-home-work routine and for many years I had no readers, but today I passed the 50,000 real readers mark (from over 20 countries). 

Over the last two years readership has risen greatly and I do appreciate this. Thank you once again.

For the last few weeks, word of my existence seems to be spreading well in Brazil, Mexico and Vietnam.

Truism (for the avoidance of debt #3)

Your debit card will never lead you into debt.

 

Personal thought - Always use your debit card in preference to you credit card as it will help you manage your spending of your real money. When it's gone it's gone and your debit card will keep you from debt, unlike your credit card.


Truism (for the avoidance of debt #2)

 Treat your credit card as your best friend.

 

Personal thought - We all like to have friends, with whom you can go through thick and thin and your credit card can be one such friend.

Ask a friend to lend you £50  and you should feel honour bound to pay them back within the week. If you do your friendship would continue. Asking for £100 would be ok later because you are friends and your history of paying back is good.

So, treat your credit card as you would a best friend and all will be well - no fall-outs and no debt interest.

I suppose the philosophy is to payback before borrowing more whilst utilising the convenience of your credit card, your best friend.

Out of order my Lord (camel's back)

Two BBC reporters managed to detect and arrange the arrest of a "king pin" of illegal migration into the UK over the last ten years. "Scorpion" was even interviewed in Iraq before his arrest. How can these two achieve what the weight of many Governments couldn't? This question should have been an election question, not least because the BBC did it again by tracking and interviewing another smuggler, and a criminal group in Germany offering "whole trip" deals to illegal immigrants. Do the Germans not have any effective intelligence services either?

Whilst you are here, watch this BBC report from a French beach of illegal immigrants setting off for England in record health numbers, where the majority are just sick of their apparent impunity to drop in on us whenever the traffickers say so. This has been going on for years, we have paid the French authorities millions and millions of wasted pounds and literally billions on immigrants who arrive (as if by magic) with a vast array of excuses for wanting to be in the UK. My god, do we not have "military" intelligence enough to stop this human tsunami? If the BBC can literally walk over to their boat, why won't the French do the same and disable it? It's rubber - puncture it! I'll tell you why - they don't want the migrants anymore than we do, yet they do like the colour of our money AND they blame the UK for their immigrant problems.

I'm no fan of the Express but here they have a point.

I think you get the picture. I know that just stopping people getting off the beaches is grasping the wrong end of this problem and that in Oct 2024 there was heartening progress in France, and Holland, followed by convictions abroad and here in the UK (and again in the UK), but this problem seems intractable, expensive and destabilising in Western Europe and yet, once again, the BBC can track down and interview a life-long people smuggler, then just to prove the apparent ineptitude of the UK government, they uncover and pursue another one. The British government recently announced another £75 million to tackle the problem, but my antipathy of their solutions makes me say don't give it to the French, give it to your political opposition, the Reform Party, for they seem to have the stomach for the task in-hand. They can't do any worse then the political filibustering that has occurred in this country for the last few decades.

The only positive decision, after years of waste is a deceptively simple statement from the government (in Feb 2025) that no-matter how you get into the UK, if you are deemed an illegal immigrant you will NEVER be granted UK citizenship, no-matter how long you manage to "hang-around" in the UK. If  you didn't go through "official channels" prior to arriving you are subject to immediate deportation. If this message becomes widespread immigration may be reduced, but my cynicism makes me thinks not for ejecting/deporting people remains difficult if they refuse to identify their true nationality, assuming of course a country will have them back (without the sort of huge leverage the USA can impose). As an add-on to this announcement, I'd like to see former immigrants such as this who go on to smuggle others into the country have their citizenship revoked before being deported. Their partners/kids could stay if they wished. The Church and some unions are against this new approach but I think the church should sort-out their own problems (child abuse) and the unions protect the expectations of their own members, rather than others from overseas

After watching that I read this and then this and nearly boiled over, for I am truly dismayed by the hand-wringing, politically correct, ineffective, wasteful, procrastinating, bull-shitters calling themselves the former British government cabinet, "the Tory party" or "the Conservatives" (or whatever); they are truly were a bunch of spineless, frightened people who, in this example of aforementioned traits, would rather put unacceptable stress into the lives of students, just trying to get a university education to the ultimate betterment of this country (UK), than upset supporters of their ilk (parasitic lawyers, weak law-makers, whinging rights-activists, mis-aligned social support groups, et al).

By the way, don't think I'm for Labour, or the rest, just because I'm berating the Tories, because if any of them thought enough of their country we might hear some constructive words and offers of allegiance in cases of national crisis occasionally, instead of unceasing flatulent moaning about how bad the former Conservative government left things. Net immigration into the UK seems to be an Intractable problem.


Listen to me I represent your Government!


When will government ever address the illegal (unauthorised) immigrants and the issues they bring with them? 

When will government finally "grow a pair", bite on a bullet and set in train a cohesive process that effectively sends back a "message" to all using and benefitting from the vile trade of people smuggling? Greece seems to be at the forefront of resistive force against illegal immigrant attempts to get in there, whilst Poland, Denmark and Sweden have already arrived at a point where their societies no-longer accept the "rights" of migrants merely looking for a better life, an easier living (as they see it) or a life away from internal feuds from whence they came. Their politics and politicians are hardening and there will be troubled times there for all; Poland will not accept any immigrants at all, whilst others are insisting true refugees (who go "home" when able) are granted temporary residency for that period alone. At the top tables of Europe, the response(s) to "detected" illegal immigrants hardens.

When will we stop wasting monumental amounts of public money in this country and abroad? - France, I want our money back, for you lot are taking the piss, and Rwanda costs (@£700,000,000.00) reflect a government squandering money given as tax for the UK, not Rwanda.

The "message" should be that life is no more fulfilling here than the lives many illegal immigrants would have, had they stayed in the place(s) they have fled or passed through, and that instead of wasting shed-loads of their money (or loans) to traffickers, they should use it to apply, through legal channels, for a life in this (my) country. 

I want us to invite selected immigrants to this country, not just disperse them around the country like so much night-soil, in the hope that the legal tax payers here will not spot them, nor care until hotels, student accommodation, ex-military bases and rented houses (of multiple occupancy) fill-up beside them. For those that do get here without their invitation in hand I want immediate incarceration off-shore*, not community care with all the leakage that occurs from that into the black economy, criminality, prostitution, slavery and organised crime groups. Chucking students out of their accommodation to store illegal immigrants is not a sane solution, though somewhere down the line the complicit owners of said student accommodation will, no doubt, be doing very nicely thankyou. 

* Incarceration off-shore means abroad or in international waters, by which "illegals" never get a legal toe-hold of acknowledgement that they have any right to UK residency, nor can they leach into the general populace uninvited. There must be many ocean-going ex cruise ships going cheap (after Covid), that could provide "luxurious" accommodation and security from which migrants could be granted entry or asked to get used to being at sea, or asked if they want assistance back to where they've came from. This will cost millions of course, but "they" are wasting that anyway and before you (readers) all go off on one, please know I am not against migration, just illegal and unmanaged migration and to those that travel they should know that though they may speak English, they have no right to drop-in when they like, in anyway they like, for as long as they like. Offshoring is not just a UK aspiration and many European countries are considering their stance, with Italy almost ready to implement their plan.


-- ROUND 2 --


To volunteers or self appointed aid workers in European states receiving the largest waves of immigrants, such as Italy, Spain, Greece and especially France (who merely expedite the passage of illegal immigrants through their country to the UK), I say you help no-one, because your actions are at the very least complicit in the migration of illegal arrivals and ignores the international rules for refugees, (seek refuge at the first point of safe contact before returning later), by assisting migration for the betterment of a life(style). Just because you volunteer to assist in the migration of hopeful migrants means nothing less than helping the illegal act of human trafficking. 

Illegal refugees are the problem for the whole of western Europe, but aiding their flow merely perpetuates that flow. For the billions wasted by recipient countries to "process" those they receive, perhaps that money could be better utilised with a new maritime iron curtain that repels invaders in the time honoured way, such is the scale of the gratuitous and flagrant human trafficking industry now.

From some readers I may get applause and from many more condemnation. I am indigenous "white", which some may see as my problem, but now also many first, second and third generation "immigrants" (who by definition of their legal residency are now British), are themselves asking why their earlier struggles for acceptance in the bad old days are being undermined by those who expect only open arms following their illegal, probably self-induced, harrowing journey. Such "gen1" immigrants, for example in the English town of Peterborough with a 25% new immigrant population, are now expressing their (rightful) voices. I think it also telling that the most popular new birth registrations are for "Muhammad" and variants.

In the scheme of things the ineffective UK government's (in)actions are small fry, but if I were a camel right now I'd be needing a back surgeon and though I know this is a rant into a void of indifference, help this country, please.


-- ROUND 3 --


The UK is in decline, but most importantly it is full and unable to serve it's existing population. It is not a land of dreams anymore and does not offer wealth, greater freedom(s), nor great opportunities.  To free-loaders of any kind, who may expect a hand-out, we are already broke and it's not worth your money (smuggling costs), nor efforts for your family or children in getting to the UK. 

To "true" refugees the UK should continue to offer temporary refuge (Ukraine and Gaza at this time) with the expectation of (forced) return following your agreed period of refuge. To those people your mindset should be that of  a POW - to get home as soon as possible (please).


People / Km2 - The UK is officially full - stay away!

If you think I'm not alone in thinking this way, just pass on a link to the page, as my commenting is now finished.


-- ROUND 4 --


The UK is loved by many but its ineffective "processes" seem unable to detect and eject "wrong-uns" and is breaking apart what was once a cohesive and tolerant British society. I have grave doubts that even now settled first and second wave immigrants will tolerate the flimsy, hand-wringing, money wasting, procrastination that has been the illegal immigration mantra from successive UK governments since the 90's. Here's more depressing crap to read ...

Perhaps this is a message to amplify

No messing there nor here

There is going to be extreme actions in Europe.

The Prime minster has finally picked up on the sentiment of his electorate

Trying to save £8million pound a day? - more like pre-election manoeuvring

You'd think things pertaining to illegal immigrants couldn't get any weirder and then this appears in the news. Charging an illegal immigrant with The manslaughter of fellow illegal immigrants whilst on the high seas does no-one other than parasitic lawyers any good. He's not even British and the act was at sea, so why do we have to prosecute and possibly house him in prison (at our expense). If I hear more of meddling, profiteering "human rights lawyers" with regard to illegal immigrants I'm going to scream. 


-- ROUND 5 --


What's the point in me shouting into a void of apathy, for few read this blog; just read these examples and tell your friends if you wish.


Mohammed - aspires to be a basketball player

This bloke dreams of becoming a basketball star, as he believes he'd be good at it, so he's prepared to use a smuggler to get him to Europe so he can pass through to the USA. He is a classic example of many who merely dream of a "better life". He should get off his arse and strive to effect the life changes he dreams of right there where he is and certainly have no kids until he gets sorted. Why do we process such people with "due diligence". They  should be imprisoned upon arrival, then booked on a journey home?

= & =

Talib Rasul want's to stay in the UK

Why do we allow people like this to remain in the UK. He arrived here illegally, committed a sex crime, fled back to somewhere outside the UK, then smuggled himself and family back to the UK, thinking authorities would forget about his sex crime. Get this person out of the country.

= & =

Moroccan Ahmed Alid (murdering asylum seeker)

This fundamentalist from Morocco came seeking asylum in the UK after years of drifting around Europe (which I am certain is a safe refuge), but after becoming a criminal in Germany he thought he'd try his hand in the UK. He is an extremist of Islam who's residency claim was ongoing until he expressed his displeasure of Israel's action in Gaza, by randomly murdering a defenceless 71years old man, by stabbing him. Why should the UK now look after him in a UK prison rather than deporting him into the hands of the Moroccan police, to serve is life sentence there. We don't need any more nutters thank you.

= & =

Moroccan Hamza Faide (not fit to stay in the UK)

This chap is an ongoing asylum seeker who should be sent "home", for rather than trying to be on his best behaviour whilst his appeal is processed, he decided an altercation between a father and child, where he grabbed at the child and whipped his victim with his own dog's lead, was his best course of action. Already prosecuted in this country for thievery his past actions alone should terminate his appeal, unless he's now professing to be a church sponsored Christian (whatever they are).

= & =

Kidnapping rapists from Hull who should be sent "home"

I am sick to death of reading (common) news items like this. These animals, no doubt thankful for the refuge they desire(d) in the UK, kidnapped and collectively raped a woman, whilst pretending to be a taxi service. They each raped her, demanded £20 for the taxi service, then threw her out. Bastards! If you see them in prison now, why not reprimand them in a way they may understand.

= & =

Ngoc Nguyen and Hai Hoang (Vietnamese who need to be sent home)

Here's a pair of Vietnamese ne'er-do-wells (2 of many), here without permission, who need to be sent home - don't waste time and resources and money putting these industrial scale Cannabis cultivators in prison: make their sentence "to be send back home". They may not be the ring leaders, but they came uninvited to the UK and knew they were breaking our laws. I do not want them here. I don't want us to tolerate people like this.

= & =

Brwa Shorsh - back to Kurdistan please

A Kurdish and homeless migrant (illegal or otherwise), Brwa Shorsh, 24, deliberately and without provocation pushed a Polish immigrant (settled and working as a postman) onto a live subway line, meters in front of an approaching train. He was upset that the postman "looked at him funny"! This nutcase has been found guilty and should be deported as an undesirable back to Kurdistan to serve his sentence or not. We don't want him or need the costs of his prison sentence - just send him back please before he gets into more trouble.

= & =

Romanian Ioan Pintaru - child killer in the UK

Here's yet another uninvited "visitor" causing mayhem in the UK, by stabbing an 11year old girl 8 times, this Romanian national was homeless yet not finding life so bad here that he did not return there. Whatever his excuse for staying in the UK he has none now. He should be tried, sentenced and then forcibly be sent back to Romania to do his time there, for he does not deserve the costly "luxury" of a UK cell; neither does this Congolese import, who some reason (what reason exactly?) could not be deported back there.

= & =

Abdul Shokoor Ezedi (Cowardly attacked woman and injured himself)

Here's another "refugee" who sought UK sanctuary, this time from Afghanistan, who has consistently abused our hospitality. Sending this sexually assaulting, thief and acid-throwing vile piece of shit back into the cess-pit from whence ha came should be the norm. He should be easy to find (£20,000 reward) as he managed to pour the corrosive over his own face. No arguments now, just put him on a (military) plane and drop him off "home"; for assaulting and disfiguring a woman and two children, with whom he'd had a relationship, he has no excuse whatsoever. Like I said: a piece of shit who succinctly illustrates our failing immigration processing.

Update - 20th Feb 2024: CCTV analysis tracked him across London for over two hours, leading to a police conclusion, "that he entered the Thames and drowned"; seemingly confirmed by a recovered body wearing clothes very similar to Ezedi's, though I would have thought a half melted face would have been proof positive. He got the death he deserved, but the fact he was both sponsored and then shunned by the church, because of his misbehaviour, is an indictment of the church's meddling in-house immigrant processing; why can't they understand that "conversion" to Christianity (whatever that is these days) is merely a tactic to prevent them ever being sent back to where they lived.

Groomers

It has been announced by the UK Prime Minister and his side-kick, Rachel Reeves, that there will be further investigation into "grooming" gangs (who thus far have been almost exclusively men of Asian descent) following the recent Casey report on them and individuals who have plagued the UK for at least 20 years, often using the same methods, leading to the same results: Young girls, mainly white, abused and tortured for years, with apparent indifference and prejudice from police (certainly), social services and child care homes. The girls were and are still being written-off as (just) "run-aways", child prostitutes or general miscreants, even though some complained to many authorities charged with their care and protection. Having acknowledged an earlier preoccupation with "ethnic sensitivities" the National Crime Agency are now seeking to reiterate that laws always trump anyone, for they are now proactively targeting reported grooming gangs with no regard to accusations of racial bias.

Some grooming gangs and individuals have been successfully prosecuted and jailed, but only after the agitations and protests of a noble few police and social care workers, though the national press are now all over this, with an eye to sales no doubt.

Here I present cases that are notorious or at least made it to public attention.

What is about Rochdale and it's pussyfoot policing that nothing seems to change there, for once again yet another "gang" of Asian looking men (that's all "we" are allowed to say) have been found guilty of grooming, raping and "passing around" exclusively white girls, having organised themselves into a formal grouping to do such things. These bastards should be fully exposed to investigation from day one of any complaint, as such complaints are routinely discovered to be the truth from girls brave enough to complaint about their appalling and degrading treatment. Their prison time should be as cruel to them as they were to their many victims.

I'd like to think that these scum have real hard times in prison after their organised and systematic abuse of girls as young as 11

 = & =

This grooming gang, again from Rochdale, were convicted and sentenced to may decades in prison. From top to bottom, reading right, this crew were lead by "boss man" Mohammed Zahid, Mohammed Shahzad, Mushtag Ahmed, Kasie Basir, Nisar Hussain, Roheez Khan and Naheem Akram.


How proud their extended families must be of them!

= & =


I hear paedophiles in prison are dead men (and women!) walking and hope these Scottish scumbag paedo smackheads get what they rightfully deserve in prison; raping children still in nappies is beyond redemption, yet they have been given permission to appeal their convictions, at "our" expense.

= & =

After Brexit they have no right to stay in the UK

Here's a pair of Romanian criminals, Sexually exploiting women in the UK. Following Brexit they have no absolute right to stay here, but did we ask them to go "home"? What do you think? If you see them in back in Doncaster, remind them that Romania is a better place to live now.

= & =

Sickening Dean Fieldsend and Stephen Sweeting (of Hull and Bubwith )

In my new world these two would now be hung. Fieldsend for his 3rd guilty verdict, who has proved himself to be an irredeemable paedophile in his pursuit of children (18 months - 9 years), whilst Sweeting has a record of sexual offences against children going back to 1968. If you happen to meet either of these vile people they should be reminded of their crimes. 


= & =

Child rapists Mark and Robert Evans - more perverts from Rotherham

The two brothers above are going to have a real hard time in prison (I hope), having been sentenced to 17 and 14 years for grooming, then raping, girls as young as 13.

= & =

Ashley Darbyshire from Bolton

Here we have another to have a very hard time in prison, as he is rightly reviled as a rapist of children whom he groomed in Bolton.

= & =

David Brennan of Hull - A user of 12-year olds!

Another piece of shit who will be getting a hard time inside, this time from Hull.

= & =

Connor Laud from Hull loves abusing kids

Yet another monster from Hull, this one rapes children to satisfy his sadistic perversions. Let's hope his time in prison denies him future use of his "equipment".

= & =

Graham Hart loves kids!

Yet another one goes to prison for 17 years to endure a very hard time, hopefully, for being a destroyer of innocence.

Facebook




Though I have access to Facebook I do not have an ID, nor do I contribute to it, but occasionally I come across something that resonates as a truism with me.




Start with this pithy comment about life's expectations.

Talking of expectations, try this on. To some my comment would be, "work is not as bad as this really - I'm joking - it really is!

Sexism is rife we are told, but with her tongue firmly in her cheek, it can be entertaining

The joy of dance - Northern Soul still lives.

In the late 1960s there evolved an almost mythical dance scene that worshipped the 4-on-the-floor rhythm of predominantly rare musical tracks from black American artists. From across the Atlantic ocean British disc-jockeys (DJs) brought said music to an ever-growing fanbase tightly focussed on a few dance clubs; the most famous being the Wigan Casino which catered for loyal, knowledgeable, free-styling dancers drawn principally from English northern towns.  Northern Soul was their "scene" and they were working-class, legendary in their own circles and to this day loyal to the fundamental and undying joy and camaraderie of that original scene, fuelled by the music that typifies it.

In modern parlance the scene was underground, tightly-focused and user-driven. Those who knew, "knew" and those that did, "did" and those who danced literally all night, did so with energy fuelled by the joy in dancing with freedom, showmanship and flair, and often a few stimulants to be honest (excluding any form of alcohol). The multi-racial club(s) focussed only on the music that drove a style of dance that remains as unique as it was original, with spontaneity and much athleticism, especially amongst males. Upright dancing with impressive footwork and impromptu spins and flourishes are norms of the traditional Northern Soul dance style, though nothing is prescribed, nor proscribed.

 

Original picture from the 70s "dance-off"
(By Francesco Mellina)"















Most musical forms burn bright and then fade, but Northern Soul merely simmered from its inception and continues to do so, but now amongst a wider band of devotees.  Northern Soul is having a global reassessment and has been found to be good indeed.

If you like dancing without fashion strictures of style, clothing type, peer pressure, an actual dance-partner even, you may find intense pleasure in Northern Soul, but will probably never get to actually own an original disc, such is their rarity then and now.  YouTube and Spotify are your only starting points outside of the United Kingdom.

I'd like to quote some words from a modern Northern Soul devotee, speaking to the BBC, that perfectly express what we originals felt in our time. We can't do the moves anymore, but loyalty and joy burn strong and the music lives on.


Modern Northern Soul - still driven by original tracks











Sally Malloy aka Levanna (above), representing a new generation of fans, said she found a new freedom in Northern Soul, which typically sees people freestyling their own moves while sharing a dancefloor with like-minded individuals

"It's one social dance that's not social at all," she said. "When you're on the dancefloor, you've got no partner, yet you're all united in your own way. And I think that's what makes it so powerful."

"You never know what moves are going to come next and you never know what move you've just done. You're just in that moment, you're so present."

"I think the connection between the movement (of the body) and the music is the spiritual side of it - the music is running through you and it's initiating the next move without you even thinking. You cannot help but move and groove to the music. It's brilliant and it's so unique and completely about you in that moment."

"There's a young scene coming through (the world) - young people in these basements getting sweaty and dancing the night away to soul, in the spirit of Northern Soul. And it's growing",  an example being a gathering of thousand of all ages in the northern town of Bridlington.

Here are some YouTube links to dance styles and music (four-on-the-floor) typical of Northern Soul.

Truism - (about taxation)

Taxation is the the paymaster of society.

We don't like it but we need some


Personal thought - This truism is a dynamic balancing act between total societal conformance or insurrection leading to anarchy. In large(r) populations people want "services" but don't like paying for them. Taxation facilitates services but it is the scale and apparent effectiveness  of taxation that vexes society; too little leads to trouble(s) and too much leads to trouble(s).
