Changes, and a Direction

Freedom of Speech


Picture

Does there really come a time in life that we cannot have that freedom of speech, and in that, the protection of the vulnerable individual, do we all have to fall in line with the leader. Isn't it our call to make sure that we are all protected in every single way. I like to have my say and I have a right to have my say, that is what freedom of thinking, of learning and of speech is all about.

Now I pay my License fee so I am going to have my say. Gary Lineker; So apparently is not allowed to have to a voice, an opinion at all. Now if he had of said all that he did on twitter on one of his programmes then I would have said that he was out of order. And that the Director General of the BBC was right in his taking Gary Lineker off air, but this time Mr Director General of the BBC you are wrong. And you should not be playing with people's freedoms in this way. But, sometimes in life comes a time that you have to back track and take back what you have done and restore someone's freedom as an individual and allow them to have that right in freedom of speech.

And Gary, not quite the same as the 1930's in Germany, if you really want to know what really happened at that time, go into German history, through the eyes of the German people. Not the government of that time, and also not the British or American history or through the eyes of the British or American people and governments of that time. If you actually took the time to understand the other side of the German people and what they went through, what went on, the reasons behind the deceit, the reasons behind the hate, and how the German people themselves were forced to flee their own country, you might actually learn something rather than persecute or generalise the situation, and may I add it is quite an eye opener. People will always take sides, and the bully will always try to win.

Children; And Mould;

Dampness and chest problems, dampness and death. What year are we in? What decade are we in? What century are we living in? It makes you wonder how some Councils can live with themselves, and some private landlords and landlady's are still renting these properties to vulnerable people.

​It is about looking after the vulnerable, it is about making homes safe. Black mould is a silent killer, it is like a Cancer, it grows, and if you turn your back for a second, it becomes out of control. You can smell it, you can taste it, the lungs cannot cope with it, it is in the air, it hides under the surfaces.

​And families should not be placed in these houses in the first place. Maybe you need to invest in a housing inspector who can oversee these houses before they are released. Make sure that he is independent of the County Council, as we do want it to be done in a professional manner.

It's all a Big Headache.

Learning to disrespect People


Picture

In the times that we are living in, I am beginning to wonder why there is so much selfishness, and greed. Do we let our fellow human's needs come first before ourselves? Do we nurture and protect others that our vulnerable, before ourselves. In my eyes, yes, we do, so I am now nominating myself to be the representative of; The Pensioners; The Kindergarten Tots; The Up and Coming Youngsters from 5 years to 23 years of age.

As for the Pensioners, their need is the greatest, a decent pension of £420.00 a week would be a living wage of a living standard that it should be. It would actually give them the respect of how much they have given to the country. They eat very poorly, and the difference between should I eat or heat has to stop. The pensioners of now were not told to save and have a private pension, they were told that they would have a living pension to the standard of living and they do not have that at all.

So something has to give and pensions a week need to be on a standard of living, not a sub-standard of living. Doesn't everybody deserve to have some money in their pockets for treats etc? My answer is yes they do. Let's stop the poor pensions and let's learn to respect. If they do not get what they should have, then they will call a strike action plan. And they will stop doing what people are manipulating them to do. More activities for pensioners. Swimming, dancing, singing, yoga, the list is endless, afternoon teas, lunches, so money needs to be there to create that standard of living.

Kindergarten Tots; They need more learning, more activities, outside playing, more swimming, more dancing, more movements, more papers, more pens and paints, actually they need funding more from the government. The under 5's are in their learning like sponges time, and we need to nurture and protect them with everything they need to do that, they need to understand the 5 senses that they have to take forward in life, to see, to smell, to hear, to speak and to touch. 

More understanding of the spiritual side of a Kindergarten Tot, more money from the government to grow. The government needs to meet the needs of the Kindergarten Tots and the teachers. These are experimental years of open hearts and open minds. If they do not get what they want they to will go on strike until they do. So they will have a strike action plan, and it will be put into place. 

All Children from 5 years to 23 years want more constructive learning and cut out the detentions. More understanding teachers, not dictatorial ones. A child needs to be nurtured at any age to get the best out of life. More resources, more open mindedness in the classrooms. Remove all the difficulties in the connections with teachers and parents. When teachers go on strike so will the 5 years to 23 year old, they want more more from life, and not to have selfish teachers striking and spoiling their learning. So a Strike action plan will be put together and the children will walk out as like the teachers do. 

Lead by example, I have not seen that yet, everybody is going on strike and leaving the vulnerable to cope without any help. Shame on you. Perhaps it needs to touch you personally before you realise the damage that you are doing.

Rishi Sunak    V    Liz Truss


Picture

Money, money money, it's a Rich Man's World. As the song goes. I am wondering why Ms Truss seems to think she can just walk back into Parliament and have her say. Is your memory that short, have you forgotten what a mess you have placed us all in. I do feel that you should travel the country, all the different county's and see how people are struggling, because of Brexit, because of your EGO and because you really haven't got a clue. Go to the food banks and watch the many struggling.

​Maybe you need an extra holiday Ms Truss and keep out of the government system for the next two years or more. I am looking to the positivity of Rishi Sunak and his wealth to have a positive effect on the country, and it can, you just have to allow it all to grow, feel it and believe it. I am not looking for EGO, I am looking for HUMILITY.


As for the China issue, well, you were warned. But I really do not think Rishi Sunak is to blame for this, it is an inherited mess. It's an ongoing problem. China, much like Russia, will always push boundaries, but I have noticed how much we rely on China with most items, just look at the labels, just like we do with energy and Russia. What a mess. So no sanctions then?

​It will be like the waves of the sea, get your surf boards out and ride the waves. I do feel what ever China is doing, Russia knows about and that hot line phone is always updated. Whatever Russia is doing, China knows about, and that phone is just as hot. 


You will have to be one step ahead of both the powers of destruction. Get your Crystal Balls out and view the future with both Country's, I wonder if you see the same as I do. Maybe not. Perhaps you need to invest in a person that can see the future, present and past behaviou

Turkey/Syria
Wars
​Earthquakes

Where does one understand the plight of the refugees? Where do we all understand the miseries of war, to be blown apart, only to have to keep on moving forward into a better condition, to a friendlier understanding of life. And then for their whole purpose of being in a place of safety get's torn apart by nature's world of awakening into understanding to yet move on again.

The long suffering families, the long suffering children who just do not understand why? Why they are yet again homeless and broken. What do we do, what, can they do. It's the same pain and destruction as ever, never to stop, always to follow them. Always to catch up, and where to now. Children have left the earth, families are broken, lost, and never to return.

When does the Syrian war stop, when will you see the error of you ways? Who is gaining by destroying the population, by killing the children? Who is paying for your hatred. when do you come to the table and negotiate. And of course we have the menace of a man named Putin that controls and the President who just will not give up hurting families, that's you Mr Basher al-assad.

Move that aid forward, and move it quickly for people to live. Allow the families to have a better life than you are offering them at the moment. Let the people live.


It will never be the same as there will always be a fear. Far too slow to react, governments were to slow to begin with, and now nothing but clearing the end. All we can do is send the positivity of vision, that takes these families into a safer place where they can thrive and grow, where they can laugh again. A few minutes of reflection and breathing to bring that positivity to light their way, and that will take away the darkness around them. Keep moving, keep positive, a home of happiness is around the corner, just waiting for you all.
