Jonesy, simply a human

Do you know what will happen if we leave the EU or dont leave? I dont, all I know is the bollocks both sides spread.

I do know the Tories are killing off the sick and disabled, are putting folks including ex service people on the streets, have robbed our kids of school meals, are intent on re-dividing Ireland, are robbing our resources and stripping us of public owned assets to sate their greed.
The parasites making decisions about our economy, our society, or health, our support services, our lives and more importantly to me the lives of our friends and family are not doing so with our interests at heart, they are profiteering in every way.
Before private companies were brought in costing us much more through taxes and NI contributions the NHS ran well, the buses were on time, people could afford to heat their homes, people could afford to be ill, to be disabled and not be disadvantaged, to live. Now so many cannot.
Zero hour contracts are their to benefit who? You? Your son or daughter?
Paying to see your GP aids who? Haven’t you already paid?
Saving a few million on building social housing allows them to give away billions to fake companies, does that give you opportunity?
Dropping bombs in our name that costs billions upon folk that we never met is right because why?
Spending millions on a royal wedding and then fining folk for existing on the streets is moral in which universe?
Brexit may be important but all the other shit is far more so.
Wake the hell up Britain. Please! Please! Please! Before it is too late.

There is no excuse for anyone having to struggle financially, physically or emotionally in todays society. The only reason for it is the greed of the wealthy. Its that simple folks.

There is no reason for austerity beyond greed. Bankers needing us to pay their bonuses – greed.
Shareholders including the prime minister, profiting from arms sales on fabricated unjust wars – greed.
NHS being privatised and sold off to companies owned by family members of politicians – greed.
Made up ferry company being given multi million pound contract – greed.
Private companies corrupted assessment of benefit claimants and costing more than the benefit system – greed.
MP’s getting huge pay rises – greed.
The list goes on and on. There are no other valid reasons and yet we let these corrupt people continue to govern and subdue us.
Power does not corrupt, greed corrupts, and these people in power are greedy beyond words.
So when you see that someone died on the street, someone died waiting for medication or an operation, someone died because they had been sanctioned by the cruel benefit system, people starving to death in Yemen or being blown to bits in Syria, or someone being knifed on a British street because all the support services have been closed due to them no longer being profitable for the shareholder of the private companies or quango’s that were being paid to profiteer from ghettoising human beings in the inner cities, remember the cause is not lack of money it is purely the wealthy skimming it off not only the poor but the reserves of our country, off you and me. And for what? GREED! Thats what!
Wake up Britain. Wake up.

If there is a heaven what will it be like?

Will it be humans with bodies or just gaseous forms, maybe just electricity free flowing?
Will there be folk just from the winning faith or will all whether religious or atheist be there? Does a heaven mean a hell, a limbo and maybe somewhere even worse? Or will even Nazis, Tories and other mass murderers be in heaven too?
Is there a chance of reincarnation? Of returning as a person, an animal or a tree? Coming back to Earth or somewhere else? Maybe we get reborn as our selves or maybe we all share one soul, one existence so the hurt we do to others is truly self harm?
Is god if there is one, alone? Many gods? Male? Female? Both or none?
If there is a ultimate divine being do they realise we exist? Or are we just a form of bacteria? Growing on a discarded cheese toastie?
Do any of these theological questions & suppositions make you hate me? Make you want to kill me? To join with me? To take my words as gospel? To call me evil or good? Do I deserve ostracism? To be turned out of my home? To be shot at on the street? To be given money? To own you? To have power over you?
Would it make a difference if I wore white or Black? A crucifix or star? A pentacost or upturned cross? If I shaved my head or grew a beard?
Maybe in a millenia these words would be seen as holy?
I know my belief and its unlikely that its yours. I do not hate you because you believe in a deity or not. I might dislike or hate you as an individual, we cannot all like everyone, but I don’t hate because of faith, culture or creed. I do hate violence, oppression and death caused by those who perpetrate such vile acts in the name of any god. I will condemn them on all sides, but in particular will raise my voice against the aggressor more so than the defender.
I do not condone war nor terrorism. Especially in the name of a supposed understanding and loving god, prophet or holy ghost.
We were (the folk of my generation) taught that the Christian god was a god of peace and love. It seems that given human history those teachings were wrong. That wars have been fought with both sides claiming the same god was on their side. ‘Gott Mitt Uns’ was on the Nazi Soldiers belt buckle. Every regiment of every army seems to go into battle with chaplains or religious leaders in the ranks. Even those whose political allegiance discounts any formal religion.
Now believe what you believe, feel free to dicuss it with me if we ever meet, but do not ever tell me your religion, your faith or your god tells you to kill, to maim, to oppress, to subjugate, to torture, to imprison, to ostracise, to injure, to fight others because their beliefs are not yours.
I believe in humanity, there lies my hope, and I truly pray I live to see that force take control of this planets destiny.

I presume anyone calling me alarmist for my views has not faced riot police, have not worked in communities where poverty kills, have not seen children living in true squalor not because of ‘bad parents’ but due to a ‘bad’ system. Have not faced knives or guns in our own cities, have not seen corruption of those that supposedly are there to protect us at first hand. These folk have not seen a battered child leaving the cells too scared to make a complaint, have not watched families ripped apart because there is nothing left to offer them support with. Not seen the start of a full blown riot, not seen the black uniformed antagonists attacking the public. Sadly I have!

But thats fine. You get your knowledge and wisdom from TV, newspapers and radio. Therefore you must be right, I am just alarmist and over reacting.

Jonesy.

Lets just be clear the public intent of Derbyshire IAM and DCC bikesafe scheme is at odds with the Derbyshire Police yearly harassment of bikers and proposed use of stingers and drones against motorcyclists.

As soon as any force decides to use stingers against two wheels, which is not acceptable in any circumstance then any argument they have that they are working towards road safety is voided.
They are risking lives not protecting them. Do not be niaive.
The currant stopping of motorcycles in numbers far beyond any other vehicle is for increasing revenue, as bikes are an easy target, and due to the discriminatory attitudes of county councillors and senior police officers.
There are a few similar forces throughout Britain, North Wales is another example of anti bike tactics.
As you all know I fight any discrimination and yes that includes that against motorcyclists.

Do not be sheep and say ‘they are just doing their jobs’ they absolutely are not. Easy money and each traffic offence is recorded as if the force achieved a criminal conviction. They then get increased budgets.
Corruption yet again, victimisation of yet another sector of society.

Ok I fight all hate, always have, it is me, I am so tired of those determined to prevent a fair future crying anti-Semitism or screaming that they – the establishment and their minions are being bullied.

These people are anti-human and are killing folk from all religions, races, and colours, every single day. They really only discriminate against your financial position, your class and whether you of use to them.
If you are poor, vulnerable, ill, or disabled, if you are not their ‘sort’ of person you are fair game to them. They do not see your colour, religion, place of birth or creed as the sole reasons to judge you, they look at your financial position, the pound signs etched upon your soul.
They claim to be followers of some god usually but their only true god is greed. They look to divide us all with their feigned shock, their cries of dismay, their blatant lies and sadly, truly sadly too many times we or those we try to support not only listen, acknowledge but submit to their tactics.
I respect all people for who they are, religion, culture or any other factor used in a discriminatory manner do not influence judgement of people. Behaviour does. Those with no empathy for others, that profiteer through misery and cruelty have only my contempt and ire. The remainder of people my support and respect once earned.
We do not all get on in life, that is a sad fact, but no one should prey upon others for power or financial gain. Its that simple.
If you don’t like me because of my colour, my hair, my dress, my build, my gender, my ability, my sexuality, my beliefs or even the size of my bits, more fool you. If I let you strip me of security, a future, my needs, my health, my food, my future more fool me.
Using my differences or those of others as a weapon against me will not work. Trying to scare me into submission, to silence me by threats of tarring me as a hater will not work. All you do is make me stronger. Make me want to fight you harder.

Seems the police in Grassmoor (tiny village in North East Derbyshire) are thinking of using stingers on motorbikes! The local Labour party are pleased with this!
Let’s be clear using a stinger on any bike or scooter is potentially lethal, even at low speeds. The scooter and nuisance motorcycle issues here are generally kids using them on waste ground and parks (not playground parks, areas designated as public land).
The kids also occasionally ride about on un-insured bikes with no helmets. These are not scooter or bike gangs they are kids/teenagers growing up in rurally deprived areas.
Their parents know what they are up to. The community is too small not to.
Ok stingers are long mats that the police roll out in front of cars to burst tyres and slow them down. They are still risky with cars and usually result in a crash. On a bike they are deadly. If your tyre blows out you are off. With small wheeled vehicles such as peds or scooters it is often potentially fatal to the rider, as it is with bigger bikes.
Now fair enough they are causing a nuisance but these are not gangs mugging folk at knife point they are your sons and daughters on a now very restricted path to adulthood.
If my son (who actually hates bikes so won’t be in this position) was to be killed or injured by the police deploying this weapon that should never be used on a bike I would want more than justice.
And how long til the use one on me for some minor offence. We can never give the police the power to be judge and jury. They need admonishing for even suggesting this. Derbyshire police have always seen bikers or anyone on powered 2 wheel vehicles as the enemy. And as for the CLP supporting and praising this vile abuse of policing power, I am truly disgusted beyond words.
They have lost sight of the needs of kids to grow and develop. If they are a nuisance find a way to occupy their minds not damage their bodies.

The police are also stating they will be using drones against these same kids, ‘drones’! Yet no money to send a copper out to an assault or theft! Its pathetic and lazy policing yet again by Derbyshire Police. A quick fix to a problem that needs investment of time and ideas not paramilitary responses.
Thanks for reading,

Jonesy. A very angry Jonesy.

Anti-Semite? What does this truly mean? My understanding is it means someone who preaches hate against those folk who identify as members of the Jewish faith.
The Oxford dictionary defines it as;

noun. A person who is hostile to or prejudiced against Jews. … ‘The horror of the Holocaust served to discredit the pronouncements of anti-Semites.’
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/anti-semite

Israel however is a ‘State’ an area which in the 1940’s Britain ‘gave’ land to Jewish people displaced by WW2.
Now it does get confusing because though Israel is a state it also is defined again by Oxford Dictionary as –

1The Hebrew nation or people. According to tradition they are descended from the twelve sons of the patriarch Jacob (also named Israel).

2The northern kingdom of the Hebrews (c.930–721 BC), formed after the reign of Solomon, whose inhabitants were carried away to captivity in Assyria.

Now the first definition means that Israel can mean ‘the Hebrew Nation’ – the Jewish people. This means any statement that does not define itself as being against the actions of the “State of Israel” lends itself to interpretation as being against the Jewish people. It is clearly often pedantic of those making accusations of folk being anti-Semite to do this but means statements against the vile torturous and murderous actions of the said state against the Palestinian People, or against the Israeli state’s involvement within British politics and government, including often Mossad’s alleged involvement in extortion and bribery, even possibly murder to influence Pro-Israeli state decisions and actions are upheld as Anti-Semitic when the true reasons are condemning the internationally illegal or/and immoral actions of a state that seems to be intent upon acting in an imperialist expansionist manner and upon a path of not just state led cruelty but genocide against the Palestinian People.

Now I am a humble citizen of the world, I did not invent language or the ability to define one intent from another. I hope I continue to fight hate in any way I can, I am not racist and hate no one due to their religion, belief or dress. I never post anything with any intent of discrimination. I like many of my comrades within the Labour Party, socialist and humanitarian movements cannot and will not stand by and let any Country or State use the pedantics of language to mask immoral behaviours.

I therefore again herby call upon those with the power to make decisions in the State of Israel to cease all military and policing activity that seeks to oppress the people of Palestine, to sit at a table with their leaders and negotiate a true and long term peace with them. I also as a British Citizen demand the agencies of the State of Israel remove themselves in all manners and ways from British Politics and the governance of the British People.

I just wrote a response to a friend and it included these thoughts:

This society is atrocious. It has lost sight of what is important. There is no excuse beyond establishment devised paranoia that somehow the vulnerable are stealing the future off everyone. In reality the cost of providing a safe and nurturing environment for all that need it is miniscule when compared to the cost of corporate and government fraud, the stripping of our assets for the wealthy to profiteer from, the non payment of taxes through avoidance, through undertaking war and military actions in order for the shareholders of fuel companies, weapons manufacturers and even sadly fast food chains to profiteer, and these recipients often are not even from Britain but American and even our once deadly foes, Russians.
Everything this government is doing right now from the balls-up that is Brexit to the destruction of the NHS is for the financial gain of those who are the true power in the UK.
None of their actions are to benefit you. None are to invest in your future or that of our children. They are playing a perverse game of monopoly. One where its our money but we are only onlookers whilst they play amongst themselves with loaded dice. None of them lose for when they run out of money they steal more of ours.
It truly is that simple. The disabled, the jobless, the Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, the Black, Asian or white, the poor or needy are not our enemies, these people do not destroy our hope, are not ruining our economy or putting our children at risk, the ones truly doing that are the same ones that have always done so, the aristocracy, royalty, landed gentry, the rich and the ‘upper class’. Do not think we live in a classless society just because they tell you we do. Its no accident that all Americans think we are all either related to the queen or are just a simple form of a ‘Cheeky Cockney’. It serves the establishment to stereo type us, to divide us, and to undermine us. A divided society can never hope to challenge their control.
Please have a think about it. Its your life they are thieving from. You likely only have one, is it your choice to be subservient to feeding their greed? Its not mine.

We are being asked not to ‘abuse’ the 7 traitors to the Labour Party on social media.

Sorry but allowing the Tories to continue to run the UK by their vile voting record and continued attempts to sabotage the Labour Party and its Membership (the reason for the party being), and their ongoing resistance to socialist and fair morals and values for no more reason than greed and personal gain means that they in my humble opinion need taking to task. They need to realise their actions make them complicit in sustaining a government that will continue to kill and torture people not just here but abroad. A government that by its policies attacks the ill, the disabled, the poor, the elderly, the young and the vulnerable.
They aid a regime that steals any future and hope from our children.
These 7 along with those who undoubtedly will follow need to realise that we, myself included do feel ire towards them and despise their actions of sabotage and treachery.
I am a member of the Labour Party but I am also a Parent and a human being which will always take priority over my loyalty towards the Party or any MP.
So feel free to ask me to remain polite to your ex colleagues, but sadly my response will always be ‘no’. You cannot remain polite, cannot stand by silent when people commit acts that cause suffering.
We as a Party should have learnt that. Appeasement does not work. I will not be quiet nor cheer for someone who in my opinion has betrayed us all with such base actions.
