Twelve years later. . . . .

I was looking for the word 'invasion' among my previous posts, with the help of the search facility on my sidebar. I remembered that that word got me into a lot of trouble. People can't comprehend what it means in relation to large amounts of people being moved around the world. The post garnered a lot of conversations about the difficulties of a population being swelled by significant numbers of newcomers who had no alliance with our British values. It also has conflicting views from those who say everyone is welcome. It was at a time when anyone could comment anonymously. 

Quote from 2013

So what happens next Mr Government Ministers? Open the doors and welcome everyone in with open arms? It's a recipe for disaster. There will be anarchy on the streets, more riots, more plundering and looting, gangs roaming free robbing and killing. It's already happening, open your eyes. Get out of your safe posh houses, see for yourself. People are struggling because there are no jobs, they have no money, the ruthless with no morals will steal to get what they want. We give shed loads of money to people, virtually as they walk off the boat, or get out of the back of the lorry that they just travelled half way across Europe in.

You can read the post here. 21 July 2013. 

Since the beginning of the covid era things have deteriorated badly. What happened then was the Government, under the dictatorship of the WEF, and in partnership with main stream media, whipped everyone up into a fearful frenzy. The great division between right and left, black and white, young and old, gay and straight , rich and poor, became even more cavernous. Free speech became risky, because those who expressed different opinions from the official narrative, were vilified and ostracised. When you are in no-mans land, where do you go next. 

You have two choices. Do you hang on to your own principles and carry on living your life as you see fit. Do you stay in your own lane. Or do you wander off course because the conflicting information being bandied about becomes confusing, and it's easier to change lanes and go with the flow. People can choose which camp they are in. 

So, twelve years later have things moved on. The covid era has not gone away but morphed into a health crisis, a climate crisis, a weather crisis, a transgender crisis, and whatever the next crisis will be.  All engineered to prolong fear, which disrupts normal life. 

Everything that is said today about the current situation has been said before. If you read the comments from 12 years ago, they are bang up to date. Much the same is being said today. No matter how fed up we are about the same old same old, broken record, how much we would like to crawl into a hole and wake up when it's all over, whatever is happening cannot be ignored. For the future of everyone's children and grandchildren there has to be a turning point. And only you dear readers can work out how long it will take. 

Now I am going shopping.

Good morning. What's happening on the craft table? The start of another mandala. I'm getting hooked on circles. Gather all the bits and bobs together and start playing with ideas. Which colours to use, mix and match. 

Making up the bed after washing the covers should be a straightforward operation. This room is where Mickey spends most of his time when he is not outdoors. I wish he would come into the living room with me and Mayze, but he likes the comfort of a king size bed with double duvets. Now come on Mickey, let me get the top cover on before you settle down. 

Not quite there yet, still the top cover to lay on the top. Ok, I'll come back later to finish off. 

It's a bit chilly on this Thursday morning, I have dug out a few extra layers to wear. My Christmas sweater is back in use for the coming autumn and winter months. 

I must go shopping today. Home Bargains, The Range, and Aldi here I come.

Pay attention woman!

Good evening. Still catching up. A video I put out yesterday. 

I missed an event because I wan't paying attention. Art in the Pen was at Skipton last weekend, and I hadn't written it on the calendar. I blame the algorithms for not reminding me. 

I called in to see Angela after Coffee Morning, for a catch up chat. She can now get yoootooob on her big screen telly. She was looking through some of my older videos. I'm not sure I want to see my mush on a big screen. 

I am happy tonight. Just looked out over the back garden with the light on, and, FIVE hedgehogs all scoffing away. Fantastic. I need to go to The Range tomorrow and buy some more kitten food because I am on the last bag. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona. 

What's Mayze doing.

I'm a bit late getting this out onto the blog. Fished it out of the drafts folder. 

Have a wander around my garden with me. See what's growing, and what isn't. My haven for wildlife. Anything, feathered, furry, or spikey that drops by gets something to eat, and drink. It's rough around the edges, places for creatures to hide and snooze. 

Catch ya later. Toodle pip.   ilona

 

The question is, why?

 Good morning. With reference to Cro's blog post today about immigrant rough sleepers. I have found  answers to his question. 

Why have they not been either moved-on, or even deported? What do these people think they're doing? This is a major tourist area, in one of the world's greatest cities.

This is what Bernie says.

You want to stop the boats? I've heard all the parties, politicians and commentators say they do. Well, they can't. In this long post I've put the "solutions" and the reasons why they won't happen. it's a tangled web of laws and treaties the UK has signed up to, often without a proper parliamentary vote, they make most “solutions” for stopping the boats legally impossible. Don’t forget CRAG ( constitutional reform act 2010) this takes power FROM ministers and was introduced in 2010 by … Labour!

1) Push the boats back at sea – Likely illegal under:

2) Arrest every individual as they land and put them in a camp – Likely illegal under:

3) Deport all arrivals – Likely illegal under:

4) Hold all existing migrants in camps – Likely illegal under:

5) Withhold all charity funds and benefits – Potentially illegal under:

6) Withhold all but emergency healthcare – Likely illegal under:

7) Do not provide legal aid – Likely illegal under:

8) Deport all migrants failing asylum status – Legal only if safeguards met:

9) Keep failed migrants unable to be returned in a secure camp indefinitely or until they agree to be deported – Almost certainly illegal under:

so... that's where we are, parties can promise what they like but the truth is, we cant stop the boats unless a leader is willing to break the Quangos and the lawyers, and the law, in order to change the law! The boats will keep coming…. because they can.

Some comments. . . . . .

The laws you mention don't stop action against the boats. It's the pedantic interpretation of them that does. Interpretation by civil servants who allow their own political biases to dictate their work.

once international law is written into UK law, our own courts and quangos enforce it. That’s why ministers get blocked by our own legal system.

Well, indeed, you've hit the nail on the head there needs to be a will to accept that these international laws and treaties are acting against the safety of this country and to disregard them and/or repeal them. Hungary, Poland, Greece, France have all broken rules with regard to immigrants

The Gov can Call a state national emergency, they did it with covid 19 and had no problem suspending citizens human rights. Emergency powers Act 1920. National Security Act 2023(FIRS)

There’s literally nothing they can do within the current framework, and it’s deliberate. The web of laws, treaties, and quangos was built to make stopping the boats impossible without tearing the whole thing down.

Basically you seem to be confirming ,what many think, that the UK government is complicit in enabling this invasion of our country by largely fighting age men. The question is why?

This is not just a British problem, it is happening all over the Western World. It is part of a much wider plan. Join the dots.
