From the 65 year old, chronically ill me. On the front line of an overstretched and crowded area of London. Being chronically ill puts pressure on top of enduring not just the facts about COVID. Making headway in some communications about living here with more than one chronic illness, but not in other areas.. Also more than happy I’m still alive and still able to be living in my flat with my dog in this area of the bonkers crazy England UK. Extremely grateful for British Benefits system, which I did contribute to when I was more able to work and pay my taxes and other costs, when I was able. I do pay, I noticed, massive amounts of VAT. Except on disability aids I need. I’m still with an idea that I might be able to work at something, within the system of taxpayers not tax dodgers. Despite physical, mental and medical evidence to the contrary. Yes.
The Splat Sandcock soundalike said, “We have capacity” in yet another, white noise, brain bleached speech he gave. A lot of people heard him, soon after, if not immediately.
He lied. Again. Which is common practice from UK Parliament.
We’re running on rationed English state benefits and housing. the queues are long. the attitudes of those who push in are ‘bullish’ to the point of bullying, lying and other wrongs. They’re found among some waiting, some cheating, others getting bumped and bullied by those cheats in the system. Plus, now, some private company bosses who want somehow to profit from we, who are not lying or cheating. We keep getting caught up in the prove yourself to every agency dealing with those. More than once. When we’ve done that more than once. None seem to believe the records of another.
There is a great deal of wrong, considered justified, hot-headed ness. The temporary accommodation here is ignored by British Standards, the lack of proper monitoring is rife. I don’t believe all housing owned by the state and private landlords meet those ‘standards’ either. I was brought up with those standards and the mood changing pains of two of the disabilities I have, Fibromyalgia/dyslexia being two of them, I aimed to and achieved abiding by and relying on British Standards. They do not discriminate between able and not able bodied or mindedness.. They, at least, were something reliable and dependable. I even worked in their telephone rooms, on their switchboard during my years as a telephonist temping. I often wonder where those have gone. Does anyone, even voluntarily, keep to them any more? Seems, sadly not. They seem to have completely disappeared. I grieve for those long fought for standards. They were not racist or culture favouring. They were standards . to be admired . in my opinion.
This UK, is not of the Media nor the glamourised in films perfect spies Uk. I’m living observantly in England, I should know.
State housing stock suffers too much, by the ignorance of, ‘ignore those, they’re from bleach brains!’🤯many homes would be available but because British Standard maintenances were ignored, they fall apart. Managers of every skin colour keep that wrong up. All the while, new and not new to our country cultures, are still in question, sill unbalanced, still arguing the toss while ignoring where their coin lands… That … since way way back when the British, ‘Different Culture’-ing. began…in the English country first where coastlines were invaded. Hold on, every coastline has been invaded…by one big nasty egotistical leader or another. Oh look it’s still happening and for whose sake? Not ours, not any G O D I’ve grown to know either, that’s for guaranteed sure.
The cost of private rentals depends where you are put. Usually higher than most workers can afford, then live the lives they are blessed with owning. When they try to find a place on the state housing lists, on top of demanding lifestyles set out for them by whichever way the winds of Parliament decide to blow their foul odours. Too many are finding that those lists are very long and very unfair. Putting new comers ahead of existing citizens which creates a great deal of unrest, naturally it’s called ‘pushing in’ where we lived and live!. . The irony of that is, those complaining rightly, that UK rules did their ancestors and members of their immediate family, deadly, barbaric, arrogantly wrong, are now discovering they are still, being, alongside us already here by “lesser” according to the arrogant, birth or not, are all like them, harmed by UK rulers…for the money addicted….
Getting shared accommodation suiting personalities is hard. There’s sparse tolerance about or ability to, process the tight budgets here, in the poorer quarters of England which are ignored, most of the time, and left to get on with quite a lot of unlawful behaviour. The police, whose numbers have been cut, seem to do their best, given the massive problems created by Parliaments that keep changing. Then when in enough seats, one over paid group or another, changes the regulations and established systems, whether functioning well or not. Nowadays, without any notice or public consultation. That changed only to suit whatever frame of mind is decided by Parliament. Add to that, adverstisements, yes, telling vulnerable minds what they *should* have in order to *fit* themselves into Parliamentary planning. All that, without British Standards!?!
GET ON THE NAUGHTY STEP!
Employment is unfair on the worker. Insecure too. That has been happening since before the Pandemic. This Country is not promoting or providing or helping it’s workforce feel the same security as it’s Parliamentary seat holders.
That harsh setting is incredibly costly, seemingly random, but aimed, during the Pandemic, at the newcomers, the elderly and those considered infirm and vulnerable. Who’re suffering already and struggling every day. Many don’t understand the unspecified acceptable profiles. I made it my business to try and understand how the people who run the state system I rely on, want me to communicate my already repeated and confirmed state of health and physical needs to them. Which keep getting worse, degenerating at a less sedate manner than when I was younger. I love being alive though. I have a cheerful mind and heart, no matter what my physical condition is. My inner strength comes and goes, to and from the fore. It seems futile even trying because the system, it’s staff and procedures keep changing. The difficulty is, I need the help but do not want it. Stuck in an ever unnecessary test of Parliament who trust none. When they, their own selves, cannot be trusted because they too are not trustworthy. Are indeed unreliable, to the core…
Which is very confusing for me who cannot be reliable because of physical ills that are, mind affecting any effecting I could do. All that alongside if not directly beside, others with formally diagnosed illnesses. Others, with worse than me situations, they too are struggling to comprehend, given the loud and overpowering noises able bodied people make, about how fuck off superior they believe they are! I question, if others are superior because of their able bodies, educated in one or other field of knowledge, why make as though ignorant and unable?
Why behave as though having a bleached brain is a good thing? Why not look at the maps, ready and waiting quietly or not, further in those brains, neither affected by nor effecting any one or thing….yet.
Serious problem because a lot of different skin toned people, from not light to light skin, I’ve noticed, because it is apparent, have bleached brains and have settled idly into them for ease of life, while complaining about the effect bleached brains have on they and theirs! I can spot bleached brains easily because I had, have one. Born with it. Discovered the light on the maps further in my brain, which are not warped by anyone else, on this planet, ‘s bottle of bleach! Not many appear to do the same as me. Instead, they decide to follow the options, not real or true choices, on maps those bleach brain following authorities make with their bleached ness and their bleach bottles!
I’m never seen as the healthy, young or able bodied person others expect of me. Not one day of my life. Instead the translating of me, by able minds, warped into a commonly used and wrongly accepted ‘slur’ on and in society. When honestly, I only consider myself honest, more so than a lot, a lot of able bodied people, who blatantly appear to consider themselves able minded but keep ignoring the, inclusion of all clauses, in humanity’s vast numbers that, seriously cannot, in any clear conscience, be ignored any more! Not if you want the books and the planet to balance.
I loath needing any type of extra to ‘normal’ help. It is no daily pleasure knowing I cannot work. Especially more since the Pandemic. Where my instinct is to run for the hills which offer no solace to the disabled. Wealth is considered only in monetary form. Any other type is ignored, unless it’s from a relative or related to a favoured body. All pay the cost of living here with money or with their well being if not their life..
..Nothing was ever free here, except languages of the English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish. Even those charge money to learn them properly. If you don’t catch on by living there.
It has always been ‘intricately’ difficult to live in the UK and watch, from a disabled position. Being unable to communicate because traumatised when very young and then afterwards…every day, some other shocking or traumatising, to me, thing. All without long enough to recover from the first…with my debilitating conditions…horrendous, clear memories kept and still keep, butting in and disturbing any equilibrium I have. The fact that horrible people keep taking advantage of my kindnesses add to my problems of loving but not understanding, everyone I meet, abusive or not. but . I have a lot of live for, being my cheerful self for one. That feels a need to express itself by helping everyone who comes into my home. It is not possible but it keeps happening, and, I strongly, really strongly, want everyone and everything to get better here, enabling us all to stop and really relax for more than a day off from the hullabaloo’s and really hard struggles..
Much effort is needed to ‘get’ anything done by British Standards. Cries of ‘racist!’ occur the minute one even says British, people get weird.. everybody is not making the necessary efforts needed here at all. There is true and loving generosity in places, in pockets that are getting bigger. In other places that generosity is being withdrawn loudly and often, reported in media much more than harshly. Even pre-pandemic. That due to intolerance, lack of true capacity to accommodate without denying the existing citizens, by adding more citizens. Which results in wider spreading desperation, paranoia and lack of telling or reading even partially, never mind the full truth, about every honest and dishonest issue here in the UK.. There are obviously too many issues and an incompetent Parliamentary system in a generally ‘braggart’ country that desperately needs more proficient, for efficiency, not less administrative staff and, we seriously need; better educated and mature speaking Parliamentary members, reducing their inefficient established numbers, pro-actively. Would help for starters. In my opinion.
The UK population is 63million+ plus and growing. It frightens those being neglected to further adversities, in crammed to busting areas of any skin tone. It is a lot to cater for. This particular Parliament keep telling the population to tighten it’s belts while they loosen their own personal ones, in public.
Of course, because we still have and cherish free speech, there’s many opinions and questions yet to be acknowledged, answered and recognised as true. The will not to bend to fit the lies, is failing many bent to fit those lies and liars already. In this Nation we are generally not honest individuals. No. We have bent honesty to fit lies! Naughty step!
“We took our eyes off the balls” and … here we are. With: loud and unwelcoming and, quiet, gentle, helpful welcoming’s. For newcomers magnetised by the falsity of here.
I believe we need to prepare newcomers and settled citizens to accept and prepare, be ready to, gently and efficiently change the country to one with the high standards it had. Sustainability being top priority. Excluding none of us. It could change. scattered throughout are other groups, among them are other shitstirring liars and those who prefer the truth because it’s way preferable while attempting to clear up, the global grim and deadly crises! Look, anyone with access to a supermarket or other shop, across the globe, has contributed to, is contributing to those crises. Yes we are. We have to stop them buying poisonous wrapping, for non poisonous content and for poisonous content which we all want taken away magically. That ain’t going to happen!
As for poisonous vehicles that are not for necessary deliveries to the vulnerable stop. Or continue being guilty of substance abuse, because you are. And that to poison the very children you take to school. Not charming when they develop into adults and see the truth of things! I should know.
Add to all that, those who actually believe the pandemic and wars are a glamorous hoax to control something or another, none seem quite clear on the actual reasoning scientific source of those widespread theories.
The NHS has 40 year plus queues for mental health appointments for the traumatised. I am now in a position in the queue where my wait has been shortlisted to the waiting list for a real appointment with the trauma therapy team, I needed it when I was very young but that went unnoticed and /or ignored. I didn’t apply for it until I was in my mid twenties. Prior to and following that, I was shoved from pillar to post, used, abused, ridiculed and mocked, denied and yes I cried a lot. . It is the wait for established citizens. Not sure about the wait for trauma therapy for newcomers or for those related to, or friends with those working for and in our NHS. Sometimes an ‘interesting’ case gets used for publicity. The rest of us…we wait for a service we pay for and for many of us, we were promised it. It is the biggest employer in the UK. It’s finances are stretched and the management of those services and many other support and keep well services, we were told we could rely on. has been delivered as changed radically to suit businesses not practicalities for the well-being of all. That by Parliament votes over decades to private, profit only companies, who do not deliver the same quality of services as the State run old NHS. Particularly in poor areas of England. Patients in those areas are used in experiments for any ‘perhaps it’ll help’ rich people . experiments, they call them trials, not fully disclosed to those being experimented on. None of that believed because, even the relatives of those wrongly used do not believe it happened. Our NHS was a trusted, trustworthy, globally renowned as uniquely British and ‘free’. It is only free at point of service if you can get a place in the queues or can pay some more. We paid in our Taken at Source, National Insurance and there are very high taxes, from workers, shoppers and small businesses. for thriving massive money/profit making businesses with untaxed, ‘off shore’ bank accounts, they pay no tax. Which those who do pay proper taxes, object to on deaf ears in Parliament.
All seem too busy doing commenting on or, the actual gathering of, voice yelling, voice yelling into a tannoy or, microphone-using yelling. There’s not much ‘fair’ or lawful employment.
The freedoms we once had, to publicly gather and shout or not, about opinions, concerns and questions to the people in Parliament. Are recently being cut. Some say for the Pandemic, others say for Parliamentary control of citizens private affairs. Choose your own view of that. There’s plenty to choose from.
Nothing much is being organised to educate any without funds for private schools. Many are ‘schooled’ for purpose of joining the ‘rat race’ many get left out of, whether they want to or not and those are not accommodated in established education. The purpose seems to be to continue this crazy unsustainable way. It is emotive in the extreme and intricate to live here, for those, already and not already living here. I think it wise to accept that…One way or another. Be sure your assumed freedom is lawful. We have here the freedom to speak our minds. We prefer no slurs on any with differing skin colours or physical inabilities. But, our preferences keep getting trashed by our Parliaments. Always ‘blaming’ the governments or the voters. What a load of rubbish and none sense! It is law not to use skin colour or disability as reason not to employ, house or other. Preferences are allowed. If they can be voiced. Which is intricate too. Do not expect the free and easy life that has been falsely promoted and advertised for generations. We have communities gathered from several countries in several places. Including those of our own. Unless you are open to multi cultured living and attempting to get along, best not cross any of those lines, without knowledge of their criminal goings on, their religious or not preferences and most importantly, their polite communications systems.
All that during the many crises going on in your country of origin alone. Also, the global warming, causing people to be starving elsewhere. The poverty here has caused children to be as homeless as their parents and guardians. Food banks and neighbourly generosity is openly organised and welcomed. The Arctic melting and other serious 💩 is ongoing and extremely concerning.
It has not been possible yet, for the ordinary man, woman or child to stop those who choose to add to the forays here and abroad by buying or selling deadly weaponry unlawfully. Under any Government. Among any of us. We all, I believe, would prefer peace everywhere. No one has disclosed the full truth of matters that shall instantly affect you during your brief or long life and stay here. There are obvious and, not obvious, signs of what you may encounter. Also, any children born or living here, are having to face the consequences of global warming which they and their parents are contributing to directly or indirectly. Most are shocked into action, at the truth of matters here, only when they are directly affected or otherwise effected. That is a constant sadness among those, like myself, reliant on a functioning system of trust, directly affected by the British Parliaments untrustworthiness, changes and wrongs…every day in any year.
The people escaping war torn countries had no reason not to believe Splat Sandcock’s words. We who live on the front line, in English poverty, have no authority representing us effectively and are subject to the mercy of many ignoring this or that truth’s, merciless attitude. There are pockets everywhere of truly kind people, willing to help for a limited time. They get fed up before any issue is fully resolved to the satisfaction of the relatives and people, from any walk of life, considered of no value to politicians & MSM, in these islands. There’s little tolerance towards those, as if they deliberately made themselves war-torn, homeless, old or infirm. Indeed, state housing authorities have quoted, “you made yourselves homeless” to those needing homes who lost theirs when their employers decided, through whatever reason or desire, that they didn’t want to train them properly and instead, fired them causing over dramatic preventables.
The are those who excuse themselves from community organisation or living who’re settled, seemingly content to quite enjoy believing, “We didn’t give birth to you or your problems, so stuff off” my response is, “well that’s rude because I didn’t give birth to you or your rudeness, kindly think on…differently” people who we didn’t give birth to? What kind of ignoring complex truths gave birth to that concept? There’s billions of them…allegedly.
We have other problems, adding to the pot of no sense about ignorance, barbarism and cruelty. There seems a widespread belief in the ever growing industry of the ‘glamorous’ stories of ‘Welcome” in, and about, all our Countries. None are truly glamorous.
Many are famous for one or two talented moments but, expect admiration for everything from as many as they expect, for as long as they or theirs want. Fame is not the glamorous life it’s made up to be according to those who have it. Make your own view about that, there’s plenty of them. I’d advise against over indulging in those who are famous, they get complacent in their paid duty to entertain well. In my opinion.
The genuine arguments between those in the British Isles who want to make voice, are honestly not resolved by any stretch. Talking about wrongs creates reasons to ‘flee’ any area, or suffer the wrath of criminally set minds without not wrong lifestyles or visions.
Some here who probably paid huge sums or not, of their family’s collected money, bought carriage to UK, in order to survive one unfair or war torn Country. to be placed into a very intricate and different one, they’re not prepared for the honestly of here but, they pay money for passage to a better life here. Some of them join the criminal elements, have enough money and time to wait, while flying about Europe and the globe, in whatever place, as they send money to their homes. This upsets some people who’ve lived here and consider here home.
Some buy their State owned, not maintained, flats and houses, sell them at profit prices, to another while the availability of the State owned homes are reduced dramatically. the price of private homes rises and falls according to Parliament, buyer & seller activity. Same globally probably. Ironies in abundance.
It is different here and changing for the better in many areas of life. There’s sparse wheelchair access or effective able bodied movements that can be joined to improve that. Maybe you’ll be the one to make that important effective change? Loads of employment opportunities about that topic, including diplomatic services of a firm nature.
From me it is an honest, “welcome” with a quiet, humble, “i’ve been shat on a lot by all the skin colours there are among people living here” . I’ll add this this “please don’t lie to me, tread on my toes, be a bad neighbour, kill or steal from me. All wrongs are caused by liars”
whenever we have liars in Parliament linked invisibly by behaviour to many other liars, thieves etc. they loudly and in deadly manner, claim ownership and control of all, without a by your leave. This is a long, as usual, one of those moments repeated through the ages of the honest history of Britain in brief.
It’s as though many people are not happy or busy enough with their own lot, and there’s a large amount of, dishonesty by not fully disclosing harsh truths.
Many war refugees have arrived here in dinghies. We are looking after them and our own, best we can through all the Parliamentary crap being thrown our way. We do have heart in almost everything we do. but sadly, have no room, in any ‘capacity’ for any more true or false person’s for truly awful or wonderful situations. However, we do accept them because it appears there’s room for emergencies. Do not forget that those will settle alongside us all, have families and the populations of all cultures and skin colours grow here. Well or unwell. Parliament decides. It is vital that we hold and develop personal strengths in order to contribute, not just in taxes etc. For newbies, all shopping items, health, leisure and pleasure, are very heavily taxed. The food staples and things for babies are not. Those taxes are called VAT. .
London and cities and towns further afield in the UK are particularly densely populated. With lots of, by British standards, very poorly areas full of poorly and neglected people, buildings and businesses.
The British countryside and coastline, is phenomenally beautiful and diverse. Much of it is owned by unfriendly landowners. Much of it not but closely guarded lovingly, as ‘special’ because it all is. That is why we treasure it. Please, please put all your litter in bins provided or take it home for your own bins. We are privileged to have many of those. Unfortunately we have members of the population who seem to feel entitled to throw their rubbish on the ground. Their lack of love for this country is obvious. I’ve met many of them, in London and in the countryside. I’ve been been mocked by them too, for my ‘put it in the bin’ diligence, as have others of a like mind to mine.
Those with sparse financial capacity are being imposed upon by those with obscene financial capacity. Same as, all over the world, to the shame of most of those types. We mostly do not all approve of crime or criminals. However, when reporting such be very specific about the wrongs and how they affect you personally. Doing so in calm and ‘friendly’ but firm manner. The UK habit is to ignore any pain anyone is in while receiving complaints. Be aware of that and, learn how to be polite. Try to keep any emotions in check for any authority. This in order to progress through the maze of any British established authorities. Choose your side. Do not use weapons and play, Living In Britain. we mostly prefer a fair and honest society but we have not yet achieved that through all the other causes and emergencies which naturally have impact on anyone with a heartbeat…
You will encounter causes to love in most areas..in most daily doings. That is an extraordinary, very lovable truth found in abundance here. As is the opposite. A thing about the UK among all its peoples, old and new is diversity. Yes.
Make great effort to independently or communally support and or educate yourself to love working for the good of all. In order to be your best not-wrong. You will contribute well when you find your niche, if you ever do. We do not have enough voice yet, for inspiring education establishments to change for the better while retaining any established excellence. That system trashed my education. They let me sit in classes, get mocked etc but they refused to teach me what I needed to know by denying my disabilities. Useless articles! I caught up a fair bit and you suck!
We are I believe also emotionally strapped, by personal and global, National and local situations. We tend to deny a lot of truths as a Nation in order to protect our own who aren’t in honesty protected against accident, unfair or foul. We don’t all have the knowledge or capacity to love our own how they’d like. Help and or support for our own people has turned into a new low. And is affecting new comers to our shores and to Pandemic induced unemployment or other poverty’s. That makes for much unrest and resentment to new comers and those with differences to the people without secure jobs. Lots of people are idle. They want to ‘fleece’ the systems we have, already rocky as they are. Instead of using their efforts to find a suitable job of work. Bemoaning their lot. Fact is, they do not want to work. Many of them are just bone idle. Many are just lost in the mazes of madness this country also has.
There are a few theories going round that things could improve. People have to want that. Most are content to fit in with the lies that all is well and good here. I personally prefer the sights, views and company of people who care and want to do the jobs they are paid to do in ‘old fashioned’, British Standard manner. Sparse while we reconcile the ‘culture’ here with those of different cultures that, mostly European rulers and British ancestors deeply offended and cruelly brutalised. Intricate.
There are many, from every global origin including Uk countries, living here, who would honestly prefer a better system for all countries and levels of living in this UK. Be nice if you could join in that exhausting cause to live honestly and lovingly. While attempting to stop the madnesses causing wars and global warming. Yes.
