Every year without fail we are told that Islamic leaders are threatening poppy sellers, that they are burning poppies or that they are going to march upon the cenataph.
It’s not now nor ever has been true.
There is so much made up bullshit out right now.
Yes there may be individual muppets – black, white or Asian threatening folks, puffing out chests and thinking its gangsta to threaten some old bloke selling poppies, most poppy sellers however are ex forces (often special forces) and even though they may look frail or well aged, are just as likely to do more damage to their aggressors than the bullies could ever expect. None I have ever met would be forced out because of threats.
The chief of police in the Met is clear that this stuff is just devisive to divide the people, and is kinda suggesting by his refusal to condemn the peace march, despite not just pressure but actual threats from the prime minister, that a significant amount of this hate propaganda is actually coming from the government and their masters.
I worked a lot in Islamic communities, often dealing with things that were likely to inflame most people, yet never ever felt threatened by anyone. The biggest dangers I dealt with were white British drugs gang members tooled up with automatics, and even then, we parted on reSonably good terms.
It’s easy to lose yourself in propaganda, and it’s a skill used by all sides.
I base my views very much on my own actual life experiences. And to be honest 99% of my interaction with Muslims, with immigrants, with asylum seekers, with all people of all statuses and labels you wish to place upon them, has been positive and even pleasant.
There are twats, but the same goes for any group, religious, cultural, disabled….. you cannot judge people by their skin colour, their clothing, their hair or eye colour, their physical strength or abilities or even their social status/standing.
I personally like to have a utopian view of bikers, being one, but sadly too often that idealistic mirage can wane because of some few or individual prats, and even without that, the view of the majority of folk sadly is influenced as with everything else by the negative way we are presented as by media, fiction, TV and movies.
Use your own experiences of people to make judgement, and if you have none, well then go and make some. You might be surprised.
Most Islamic leaders and people realise what poppy’s mean. So many had relatives or even now, have elders that fought in the war, mostly, against the kind of fascism that is predominant now.
How ironic is it that Braverman and Sunak are using even promoting and quoting the very people that despise them due to their skin colour, (not their greedy cruel values) to divide the nation in some feeble attempt to keep this morally and in my view criminally corrupt government in power?
The establishment and even their masters own the press, the media and even this so-called social media. They are taught from birth how to manipulate people, especially the masses. People that speak against them have no voice, or are quelled by threats, sometimes even worse. So please don’t be taken in by this division.
Today I saw on someone’s profile a T-shirt spouting about how “illegals deserve nothing, yet veterans deserve everything” that may not be the exact wording but close (I tend not to take much notice of uninformed shit.
The thing is no human is illegal, their behaviour or presence may be, but if they are in the UK illegally they get nothing, no benefits, no homes, no school places, no legal work, no health care beyond emergency treatment. The people you are being led to believe are getting all these benefits in living in the UK are people with every legal right to be here, whether because they are (even after brexit) EU migrants, member of commonwealth states with the visas, members of families that are here due to birth or legal migration.
Illegal immigrants get nothing unless they claim asylum as is international and global law, and it is granted
As I said I worked in many communities, often with people that couldn’t represent themselves. I dealt with issues that defied modern logic including blood feud as laid out in the KANUN OF LEKE DUKAGJINI, or other traditional laws or codes. These were archaic cultural laws that saw men as the owners of women and their children.
I dealt with one of the first ever child protection cases dealing with such an issue, and for a short time had to be placed under protection. The case was complex and fraught with obstacles, which we folk educated and brought up in Britain had no knowledge of. It was an eye opener and had a semi successful resolution at least for the children. These were legal EU migrants with the right to remain and live in the UK.
It was however no more or less harrowing than some other cases where white British people, men and women were identified as the abusers.
So basically do not believe anything you are told in the press, you see on TV or films, or are preached at by wannabe politicians, and particularly if it’s about hating a group of people that are only different to you by accident or even gift of birth.
It is those people trying to hide their own failings that promote such hatred.
It truly is that simple.
Jonesy, simply a human
