In WW2 my paternal grandfather served in the Merchant Navy, then the Royal Navy, then Royal Navy seconded to the Merchant Navy as Engineer and Chief Engineer. He sailed multiple times to Russia in Merchant Ships and their Royal Navy Escorts.
He never learned to swim, deliberately, so if torpedoed he would not panic to save himself from certain drowning, being in the depth of the vessels.
He began the war in a reserved occupation, but soon joined the Auxiliary Fire Service in Liverpool, mainly in the docklands I believe, but joined his first ship as soon as the worst of the bombing was over.
He carried out his duties and went from a Merchant seamen to Able Seaman RN, then commissioned as an officer.
The Russian convoys were said to be Hell on earth, and some of the most dangerous runs, they were to help not only the Russians beat the fascists, a cause we were allied to Russia to do, but to keep the Russian people alive. Something the Russians never forgot.
He also served in the Atlantic and Pacific, even Malaysia and New Guinea.
I never met my Granddad as he moved to New Guinea and Australia after the war, and died in Brisbane in 1979. My dad left Australia when he was 17 and worked he way back to the UK.
I did speak to him on the phone though, and was and am very proud to be his grandson.
He never considered the Russian people as his enemy, he had true respect for them, and saw many as friends.
I too respect the people of Russia, they are not now, nor in my humble view have ever been my enemy.
Yes Putin is a dangerous sociopathic meglomaniac, as is Trump and sadly Starmer (thpugh without the might to back it up). It seems to be requisite of being the leader of a capitalist country in the 21st Century.
Starmer seems intent on taking us to war with Russia, no doubt at the bequest or rather demands of his Mossad Zionist paymasters.
Putin if pushed could easily react with force that would ensure we never rattled another sabre, ever again.
Starmer is not the “mouse that roared” he is is the germ that could easily wipe out Britain, all its sill flags and history.
But truky don’t think Farage, Robinson, Hopkins or any other of the right are a better choice, for they too are owned, funded and controlled by Israel and Mossad.
Again Russia is not my enemy. My only enemies are the genocidal and hate mongers that the 21st Century seems to cherish and nurture.
It seems we the people never learn our history lessons.
Jonesy.

Economics for us all
So when writing a million most of us realise it is 1⁶ or 1,000,000. One to the power of 6, meaning six zeros after the one. A billion used to be defined in Britain as a million millions 1¹² however the rest of the world said it was 1⁹ and that is what we now recognise as a billion, so 1⁹, which is a 1 with 9 zeros.
It was Harold “Mary where’s my pipe” Wilson who in 1974 clarified that from that point on the British Government would recognise a billion as being a thousand million, purely because that was how it was internationally recognised. You see Harry was a progressive Prime Minister.
Now we know the world has a few ‘billionaires’ and sadly most are men, worse not particularly nice men it seems, but now we are in a world where there is currently no such thing as a Trillionaire it seems, according to some sources, no I don’t mean HP or ketchup, not sauces you twit, sources such as the media (not usually very trust worthy sources sadly, or even the 21st century’s version of the encyclopedia Britannica – Wikipedia), however there will be in under 5 years.
So what is a trillion. Well a trillion sounds a lot, but its kinda a ridiculously large ‘lot’. It is the original British billion, a 1¹², one with twelve zeros. 1,000,000,000,000. Now Google states there are no Trillionaires yet, but other sources say its not quite that clear, because there are people who have their wealth hidden away, using corporations, trust funds, property and undeclared assets.
If you started counting to a trillion it again according to Google would take, if you counted each number per second 37,100 years.
Anyone up for that challenge.
So there truly are individuals that could not ever count the money they have,
Its suggested by money advisers that 11.5 million people (adults) have less than £100 in the UK alone. Now i am sure Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer would argue that, saying that all the poor have adequate benefits to save and have a large safety net, thats already the assumption of Universal Credit, the gap between applying and receiving the ‘entitlement’ is 5 weeks, and can be more. It also can and is sanctioned at the whim of a case worker, meaning that any reserves people have can and are taken. Despite people thinking people choose not to work, there is no benefit I can see in not working.
Savings for people at the poverty level are not greed, they are a measure of hope or complete despair. Financial issues are likely the biggest causes of depression and anxiety, and when we talk of suicide, well let’s just say money is more than significant.
Now I know I digress, but the point is how can we accept a world where individuals have such wealth that realistically it could never be spent, yet others are killing themselves or living in desperation and fear, simply because they cannot afford to feed their children, and will not even try to feed themselves until their family have eaten.
The poor are not your enemy, they are not scum, though the BBC and Channel 5 will tell you they are. No not when a few dozen billionaires working together could end world poverty for good, or just 100 of these super rich donating one years income – not their entire wealth could also achieve this.
They do not. They do not want to.
So when you are asked who your true enemies are, remember they are not defined by skin colour, by religion, by geography, they are defined by their willingness to let 850,000,000 people live in abject poverty, that is under (US) $2.15 per day to live on.
They are the enemy, their gods are greed and power.
It truly is that simple
Kings Army, British Christian Terrorists.
This is the King’s Army. They are an extremist Right Wing Christian Nazi Group, seemingly active in London.
They are based upon the American Bible Belt fascists.
These are a potentially extremely violent group recruiting fanatical individuals, that believe they are trained soldiers of God.
Their tracksuits make up a uniform, which in itself is unlawful in the UK, but despite this it appears they may have had a publicity photoshoot observed by the London Metropolitan Police (likely recruiting a few as they go).
Their website does not allow screenshots, therefore these are pictures of their pictures.
They like their American counterparts believe they are patriots, but are little more than a well organised extremist nationalist bunch of unenlightened mentally and morally challenged fools, being funded by Establishment money to cause as much disruption likely in the most aggressive way as possible.
These are exactly the form of extremists that if were Islamic, Black, Asian or from any minority culture, whether UK based or trained abroad would be identified, infiltrated and arrested as radicalised terrorists.
These very people were allowed to march in Londan very recently, despite there wearing uniforms, which the Public Order Act 1936, states S1. Prohibition of uniforms in connection with political objects.
(1)Subject as hereinafter provided, any person who in any public place or at any public meeting wears uniform signifying his association with any political organisation or with the promotion of any political object shall be guilty of an offence. (As cited on Legislation.gov.uk), the legislation was to prevent the Black Shirt Fascists from congregrating and supporting the Nazi doctrine. So the moment the police were aware that they were readying to march, all should under British law, have been detained and charged. This to my knowledge did not happen.
This group poses a risk to all, they are extremely homophobic and see anyone that is not a white Christian as less or subhuman.
To allow these people to organise in the UK is extremely dangerous.
They need stopping now. How can Starmers Government proscribe a group that painted some leased by the RAF planes, yet allow these vile excuses to organise.
The moment this group was recognised by the Metropolitan Police, the Secretary of State should have been informed, therefore there can be no excusing this group still existing, uniformed or not in my view.
Dear Police
Just to be 100% clear to all police officers, whether civil, military acting as police, military policing UK regions, or something more sinister that are acting as police. You do not have the right to be aggressive to the populace. The use of force without reasonable grounds, such as is being seen, on social media, every day at the moment, is not only unacceptable, unnecessary, & imoral but blatantly illegal, against the very laws you are employed to uphold.
The use of “Just following orders” as a defence is no defence, and that is UK statute and International law.
If you know a person is being subjected to illegal action by your superiors, including politicians, if you know there are International arrest warrants out for people you know to be visiting the United Kingdom, even if the Government and your superiors refuse to act, then you must carry out your legal and moral duties. if you do not do so, then you are colluding with and enabling criminal activity.
We the people of the United Kindom have a right to expect better of you and for you to represent us, the law, justice, and not the people who believe they “rule” us.
If you fail to do this there may in fact likely will become a time you are held to account.
Do not stand by and do nothing just because your corrupted colleagues do, do not do nothing, just because you are scared to be an officer we the people of Britain can be proud of.
It truly is that simple.
You are not being asked to break laws, just uphold those that are just and moral.
Your uniform does not give you the right to be a violent corrupt immoral thug, though sadly too many of you seem to believe it does.
Extremist
Well, it seems that someone believes I am an extremist.
I am kinda taken aback by that.
I admit I will fight discrimination, I will defend against abuse, I will stand against hate, I will try to protect the vulnerable, and I will speak out against genocide.
I agree I am morally stubborn, with a social conscience, that I am disillusioned with those people that we are led to believe hold power in Britain and, sadly, the world.
I accept that due to my health issues I often have too much time to over think issues, and therefore see the likely consequences upon so many, and that knowing those who will be disastrously effected have not seen the problem careering towards them like a runaway steam train blowing a silent warning from its muffled whistle have not seen it and are setting up a picnic directly in its tracks, I will shout warnings as loudly as possible, sadly too often ignored.
I am not religious, or if I am you will not know it. My spiritual beliefs do not control or define me. I hold no contempt for the beliefs of others, providing those beliefs, whether religious, political, spiritual or even beliefs in their own self, their identity, their nationality, their culture or history do not cause harm, directly or by proxy to others.
Being stubborn, experienced (old) and hopefully having a little insight and wisdom (hindsight), I do stand by my beliefs. Still being registered as a ‘social worker’ which is a protected title under the law of the land (current legislation) I have a moral and legal duty and often a responsibility (two very different words that we never really consider, as are ‘power’ to, and ‘duty’ to, often seen in government Acts, a power means you can, a responsibility means you should and duty means you must), to act upon my concerns, in extreme cases that may be reporting on, as anyone would, in the case of someone being in or placing someone in immediate, or high risk of significant harm. For instance, my having knowledge of an impending attack upon a person or persons, not I may add someone painting an aircraft.
And yes we all have such duties as citizens of the United Kingdom.
My own morals also mean I will not deliberately harm or plan to harm others. I admit there are times this personal trait has been at odds with what may at the time been the more sensible option, but again, I am stubborn. I will, however, defend myself, my loved ones, and those I see as deserving, whether known to me or not. I will do this in whatever way I can. Realistically that mostly means a Paddington stare and inflating my chest to the scale of Gunnery Sergeant Major Williams, whilst twisting my moustache.
I have no plans of conquest, no conspiring to start a Citizen Smith revolutionary group (ok citizen Jones on this occasion).
I must at this point apologise to all those younger folk that did not have the pleasure of growing up with 1970’s and 80’s tv. Most now would be deemed as too bigoted to be broadcast, but actually often was the opposite, showing to the more enlighten viewers how ridiculous hate and discrimination was. Too often the fascists of my age refer to Alf Garnet as their hero, what they fail to realise was that ’til death’ the comedy series he was a character in, was written to highlight the stupidity of his bigoted ways, and that this fascist character was infact played by Warren Mitchell, a socialist anti-fascist Jew, and that he basically was taking the piss out of people like them.
Anyway I digress.
I mentioned about social work being part of my life, and it still very much being so, in so much as I try to assist folk – pro bono, when they are not getting the recognition of needs and support for those by local authorities. These days its very much signposting, or occasionally assisting in the filling in of forms, when brain fog and energy allows. But social work, the working with people all over the UK, in multicultural communities, with vulnerable or abused children, families and occasionally adults, and through this seeing the absolute values of diversity, family and community, something almost eradicated from the UK by Thatcher and all since.
I used to be party political, however now I am pretty disillusioned by the current ‘one-party’ system we have, all run by the same paymasters.
I am frustrated by the rise of hate and discrimination, and angered that this is funded by billionaires that simply want to keep us, their cattle, divided.
I am loathe, to the point of it becoming impossible to keep quiet. I cannot stand back and watch a new world order of fascism rise and remain silent. Anyone that truly knows me will understand that I will never be that person.
So if, my views of uniting society, of identifying those trying to suppress us, of voicing my ire of discrimination and racism are extremist, well if that is the case, then sadly in my humble opinion this world has become too damaged.
I am not attempting to indoctrinate anyone, I am begging people to do their own research, form their own opinions, and more importantly go out, meet the very people you are being told that you are supposed to hate.
I am imploring you to realise anyone wanting to make money or gain personal power in politics should not be allowed into politics.
I am screaming inside for us all to recognise our true foes, and realise its not any religion but greed that causes them to become that.
If that defines me as an extremist, then so be it.
Jonesy, simply a human
