New volunteers wanted (video added)

One red sack plus a bit more on yesterdays litter pick. I started on this short stretch of side road, then went onto the busy main road towards town. A new 'L' plate found. 
What else did I find. Two sealed new pot noodles, in a Lidl bag chucked in the hedge. Long date April 2027. Someone didn't fancy the pack up they brought with them. Given to a neighbour for his pack up to take to work. 
A fly tip in the layby. I put in a report to the Council about this 
Remember the stinky bags of animal carcases I found recently, in this same layby? Well here we go again. Just one black bin bag this time. Can you see it mother. Crawling with maggots and a putrid smell that stays in your nostrils forever. 

A closer look, not too close mind you. 
Zoom in. A quick retreat, feeling sick. The Council need to come quickly and remove it. 

By keeping my patch tidy and not wandering too far afield, I don't see a lot of heavily littered locations. Litter picking teams in other parts of the country are reporting horrendous piles of grot on the UK Litter Pickers Faceboook page. 

So what of the future? Will we ever get to grips with banishing the litter mountains in the UK? I don't think so. I suggest we make a new Faceboook page. European Litter Pickers, will encompass all the countries on both sides of the strip of water between us. Come on in boys. Trash our country as well. To appease the other side, maybe these are our future Voluntary Litter Pickers. Fancy having a go? 


Have a good day. Toodle pip.   ilona

EDIT
I have just come across this new video. Sarah White, an intrepid journalist, has disguised herself and secretly filmed inside multiple migrant camps at Calais. She shows the truth, what is really going on in France. All basic needs are provided for the migrants, by charity workers. This is an eye opener video. Massive amounts of rubbish everywhere, all to be coming here. It is estimated that there are 3,000 people at this migrant camp.

Observations (edited) (x2)

 There was a lot of activity along our South Coast last night. I watched the live channels on yoootooob of our patriots making their way down there, ready to report on any boat landings as they happened. After the recent crossings into Gosport Portsmouth it was expected there would be a repeat of that. Other places were mentioned and there were people ready to welcome the arrivals at Dover. Boats are reported to be turning off their tracking devices to avoid detection, which is illegal and dangerous in busy waters. 

The shift of using other ports on our coastline to bring the boats ashore means that not only the south and south east coast are vulnerable to penetration, but the whole of the east coast up as far as Northumberland are also fair game. Our borders are wide open to abuse by anyone who has the determination to set sail from anywhere along the neighbouring European coastline. 

The people of the UK are at war with their own Government, who are facilitating these crossings. The welcome parties include warm dry clothes, food sustenance after their long and arduous journey, and a seat in a luxury coach to transport them to their prepared accommodation. All under escort from the Police. 

Our illegal guests in this country are handed a mobile phone with internet connection. Now here is my theory about this. Anyone who has the world at their fingertips in their pocket has the tools to work remotely. Van lifers do it, narrow boaters do it, they have jobs in which they choose their own hours to work. These same opportunities are available to anyone who has set foot on our shores, albeit illegally. They can get to work as soon as they announce their presence, such is the power of connectivity. 

Think about it. Someone with only a smattering of English can bluff their way into any job. Who is recruiting these newcomers? The same organisations that are looking to increase and facilitate more boat crossings. Don't forget it's not only boats they come in, they are flying in as well. 

When you take it to it's full conclusion. Anyone with a phone and internet connection can wreak havoc among those who are trying to protect their land. The battle is psychological. With millions of troll comments bombarding every aspect of social media it is easy to see that a battle of huge magnitude can be used to alter the course of the universe. 

Going into battle with your enemy might be a quick solution when bombs, guns, aircraft, boats, and boots on the ground are deployed. Remember the Build Back Better slogan. They first have to destroy. But there is a less messy way to do it. Bide your time, it can be done remotely and psychologically. It will take longer but if they can get people to instigate conflict within their own territory, with their own people, they will kill each other.  

My conclusion. I repeat my friends logical saying. You are authors of your own destiny. 

Comments are closed at the moment. I can't be bothered to get into he said she said, tit for tat, cat and mouse games. My opinions are my own. If they are not yours, that's fine.

EDIT

Andrew Lawrence gives us an update on what happened last night. The migrants weren't able to land at Gosport and were taken to Dover. 

2nd EDIT

Daniel the Black Belt Barrister has published this video on the shenanigans of last night. How much this operation costs the tax payer for police, coaches, and ambulances.

Can't be bothered.

Checking out some videos from around the world. We in the UK are not the only ones struggling to understand the madness of Governments who are on course to destroy their countries. I use the term madness, but of course it isn't. It's all planned. 

 I am so tired of HATE.... I see it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Listen to Nikki.

The same scenario is being played out in the whole of the Western World. Listen to Nikki from Canada. Every time she says 'Canada', change it to UK. She is a patriot who is passionate about her country. I feel the pain in her voice. 

There is no going back from this, unless more people wake up. 

Thanks for popping in. Comments are turned off at the moment. I see Cro has had an infestation of idiocy. He has more patience than me. I can't be bothered. There is one certainty though. I will not stop blogging.

Crafty friends

 Crafty Club was busy this morning. Fifteen of us altogether. I was pleased to see a new member. She used to run the club a few years ago but handed it over when she had other commitments. I happened to bump into her on Saturday in The Range, and told her we have a new venue, and no longer meet at the Village Hall. She seemed interested. I turned up late as usual and the conversation was already full of laughter. I think she enjoyed it and will come every week. 

This is the start of a new mandala I am working on. The pink flower I made for the picture, but it wouldn't fit in with the rest of the flowers. It makes a nice centre piece for this. I have a large hoop for this one so there is a lot more work to do on it. I am using my last hoop, I was thinking I must get some more. 

Lo and behold, I don't have to buy any more. One of our lovely members gave me a set of five hoops, brand new, still in a bag. An amazing coincidence. How lucky, and how kind of her. I have some nice friends. 
Talking of friends. Another friend gave me some lovely fabric, and a box with some haberdashery items in it. Buttons, fabric, ribbon, and other useful bits and bobs. She had a sort out and these were surplus to her requirements. 

Looks like I'm going to be doing lots of sewing over the winter months. 

Now I'm going to make a mug of Horlicks for my bedtime drink.

 Down memory lane. 

This is why I write a blog. Just a few of my memories. 2022 2023 2024.

Fun at the Park

There was an event on at the Park today. It was called Paws in the Park, A charity event organised by Jerry Green Dog Rescue. I went along to watch the fun. Lots of kids and dogs running around. I took my picking stick with me and a bag, and picked the litter along the grass verges as I walked there. They have their own litter pickers at the park, so I didn't need to do any there. It always looks tidy here. 


Nice to see so much activity there. Families enjoying the sunshine. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

Happy news.

 Celine arrives in Paris. Her adoring fans are there to greet her. 

Enjoy your Sunday.

Get out of jail free.

Echo chamber report. 

 Listen to Daniel, the Black Belt Barrister. Take heed of his warning. They are releasing offenders from prison because they don't have room to contain them all. This one is back in prison. They deemed him to be a danger to the public. He has convictions for trading in weapons, and was caught again, carrying a knife. So they can't be vetting them thoroughly before releasing them. 

This is not fearmongering. Just take sensible precautions, do not put yourself in a vulnerable situation. Scan your surrounding area. Eyes and ears. Cross the road, turn around, walk in a different direction if you feel something is not right. Stay alert, don't dawdle, walk with a purpose. Run away from conflict. 

What did I do today.
Shopping at The Range, and Home Bargains. Then picked two bags of litter around the back door of Tesco. Emptied numerous bottles of pee, and left the bottles, plastic and glass, in a trolley next to the recycling bins. Shopping at the big Aldi store next to Tesco. Two bags of grot dropped off in my usual spot on the way home. That corner looked a whole lot better after I finished tidying up. And I treated myself to a new litter picking stick, from B & Q, £11. 



Thanks for popping in. Have a good Sunday. Toodle pip.   ilona

Droning on and on and on.

Clutter

 Will they keep pushing ahead to build more solar farms? At which point will they declare that we now produce enough electricity for the needs of the whole of the UK, through solar and wind power, and we can now stop ripping up the countryside. With never ending wars it might mean that the availability of gas and oil from other countries will eventually dry up and come to a halt altogether. So perhaps it might be a good idea that we learn to live with all the hardware cluttering up the place we call home.  

Councillor Ian Carrington

10h 
The Government is trumpeting that Ed Milliband has said 'yes' to Britain's largest solar farm - right here in North Kesteven. What it's not saying is that they've ignored the wishes of local people, and that more than 4,000 acres of beautiful, productive Lincolnshire agricultural land will now be come industrial glass.
At North Kesteven District Council we'll press to make sure the community benefits promised by the developer actually materialise. And that the technology chosen for the scheme's battery banks will be the safest, not just the cheapest.
We need secure, renewable energy. We also need secure, home-produced food and a countryside to grow it in. I'm really not sure this decision gets the balance right
Is Ed Milli losing the plot? Is he on a mission to replace our food growing pastures with miles upon miles of plastic hardware, and industrial size battery storage facilities. It's going to be one huge and ugly  blot on the landscape, that's if we have any landscape left.

A Godfrey rant.

 Another one from Godfrey. 

Not hidden.

Not accidental.

Not incompetence. 

All planned.

Steady Godfrey.

Discussion on Asylum Centres. 

Katie Lam raised a point of order, stating that the Home Office planned to announce the opening of 12 new asylum seeker centres across the UK without providing prior notification to Parliament. She argued that MPs should be informed first to properly represent their constituents.
Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle strongly condemned the government's actions, calling them "totally unacceptable." He emphasized that MPs must be consulted on decisions affecting their local areas before such news is released publicly.
The Speaker reiterated his stance that the government must change how it communicates these decisions, urging ministers to ensure Parliament is informed correctly and in a timely manner.

Big boys toys.

A quick rifle through the drafts folder this morning. The size of this load takes a lot of planning. Street furniture has to be temporarily removed to allow it to pass through built up areas. Always the same questions, why don't they take it on the motorway, and why don't they do the job at night.  It would take twice as long to complete the job in the dark.  

 WOW Collets are the bees knees where heavy haulage is concerned. Four tractor units, three pulling, one pushing. Truck photography by Lee Elliott.

A question in the comments. 

Jonathan Jones 550 tonnes. It’s the second load to come this way this year. Pretty impressive up close

Why can’t they just go up the motorway from Avonmouth to Leigh Delamere services. ??
Darren Shortman
The bridge on M4 between j19 to j18 has max load of 120 tons so they came off on to M32 up the old road then back on M4 at j19 to continue to services.

Another letter.

My penfriend Scott has written to me again. More broken promises. Says I will get a visitor, but nobody ever turns up. So I drink my coffee alone. 
I went back to Flixborough Industrial Estate this afternoon, to empty all the bottles of pee and bag them up. One black bag filled with all kinds of grot. There is still a lot of work to do in that one spot. I will be back to do another tidy up when I have time. Today it was very windy and very cold, so I didn't linger. Did this job and came home. 


Pleased to say that all my other 7 bags, plus the 69 glass bottles have been collected. And so it starts again, when I have time.

Insanity

 Stefan from Sanity 4 Sweden reports. Long time yoootoober. 73.3k subscribers. 39k views on this video. He is so ahead of the game. A wide awake guy. 

Some comments on this video. 
This is happening in all free countries. Exactly the same story in US & Canada
Same in Canada.🇨🇦
Same in London
Same old story. It happened recently with Poland.
Australia is the same..Comm/Green...importing migrant voters
This is the Left playbook. The West is screwed.

Talking of sanity, two funny comments came in here overnight. Someone is checking their computer in the early hours, or they are firing them across the pond from the US. Same person of course. Male, female, she, him, them, they, who cares. 

More evidence of insanity
And aligning yourself with Trump
- utter madness

I’m with you Sue
I only read this blog as it proves to me that I remain sane

Amusing. I'll get my admin staff to check them out. 😄
