Talk radio remembering D-Day today here in the US. As you'd expect, it was all about American participation.  I sent a text to a presenter asking him to tell his listeners about Pegasus Bridge. He read out the text but confessed he did not know what it was and asked me to call. I couldn't be bothered.

'Prejudice against travellers is still shocking'

Quote

"Prejudice against Gypsies and travellers is one of the last bastions of racism that is still widely acceptable within society," says Martin Rone-Clarke.

His job is to "break down barriers" between Gypsy, Roma and traveller communities and Warwickshire Police - and he says he is passionate about challenging prejudice.

"It is encouraging to see the significant changes in [police] engagement," he said.

He is urging people to "come and say hello" to members of travelling communities during roadshows in Warwickshire and the West Midlands later this month.

Mr Rone-Clarke said he became fascinated with the history and culture of travellers' ways of life while working as a community cohesion officer two decades ago.

He took up the liaison job five years ago, after retiring from his 29-year career as a police officer with the Warwickshire force.

"It is still somehow widely acceptable to use derogatory language against Gypsies and travellers which is shocking," he says.

"I am proud to be one of few Gorgers (non-travellers) who are members of the Gypsy, Roma Traveller Police Association."

He said, at the start of his career, he had no training to educate him on "the reality of who Gypsies and travellers are".

"Like the majority of the general public, I only saw the negatives," he said.

"Racism" - really?

 

Anyway, I wonder why there really is such prejudice towards 'gypsies and travellers'?

 

Travellers pitch up on popular family park near Birmingham rugby club

Quote

Travellers have moved on to a popular family park near a Birmingham rugby club.

More than a dozen caravans were spotted on Billesley Common today, June 6.

A dogwalker told BirminghamLive the Travellers had moved on to the green space, next door to Moseley Rugby Club, earlier this week.

The council recently said it has useable transit sites - in line with government policy - for the traveller community to use after a small group of caravans set up camp on nearby Swanshurst Park earlier this month.

Their arrival came just 24 hours after members of a volunteer group dedicated to maintaining the park finished picking up rubbish after the last group left.

The Friends of Swanshurst Park spent two days tidying up and amassed an estimated 30 bags full of trash which was taken by a council bin lorry.

People object to travellers not because they're 'racist' (after all, aren't all gypsies and travellers white anyway?), but because of the nuisance and disruption they cause. 

 

I live not far from Swanshurst Park, and I can tell you that the last lot were the fourth group this year to invade the park. And each time they leave huge amounts of mess, which is left to volunteers to clean up after them. 

 

As for prejudice, I am still haunted by memories of working in a convenience store many years ago, and whenever there were gypsies/travellers in the vicinity, you'd have groups of their kids coming into our shop and stealing stuff, and the police wouldn't do anything.

 

As far as I am concerned, this is an annual event here, where local parks get invaded and even broken into. The council may provide these 'transit sites' but these travellers don't seem interested in using them, they just pitch up wherever they fancy.

Runaway bull 'may have fled backstreet abattoir'

Quote

A bull found loose on the streets of Birmingham may have "escaped from a backstreet slaughterhouse", an animal sanctuary said.

After being detained on Friday, the animal was taken 170 miles away to The Hillside Sanctuary in Frettenham, Norfolk, and given the name "Liam" in a nod to new Norwich City boss Liam Manning.

The site's owners said he was very stressed when he arrived there in the middle of the night, but has calmed down now.

The sanctuary said it had liaised with police, and efforts were being made to find out more about Liam's background and the possibility that he ran away from an abattoir.

The Hillside Sanctuary often gets calls from supporters across the country, but the one that came in on Friday was quite unusual.

A caller said a bull was loose on the streets of Digbeth in Birmingham.

from: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gk6gmm3x2o

 

There was some speculation that the bull had perhaps escaped from an abattoir in the Small Heath area. After all, one does not normally encounter cattle wandering the streets of inner-city Birmingham!

 

Quote

A spokesperson for Birmingham City Council said it was “unable to confirm whether the bull had escaped from an abattoir".

“The council did its part in ensuring the animal was contained and it was safe and unharmed and the police then dealt with the matter further," they said.

So basically the council is not really interested. 

 

This bull had other ideas though it seems, maybe he wasn't keen on the idea of non-stun halal slaughter? ("Fuck this, I'm outta here!")

 

As others have pointed out on comments on other local news media, it is curious that no-one came forward to report that an animal of theirs had gone missing. 

 

Perhaps because by doing so, they would have drawn the attention of the authorities? Which would have then drawn further scrutiny of their animal welfare practices? 

 

I wonder what the 'Halal Monitoring Committee' would have had to say?  (if they are even really bothered)

 

So basically, the local news and social media had some 'fun' with viral videos of a bull wandering around Small Heath and Digbeth, which was eventually caught, and handed over to a sanctuary in Norwich. In the meantime, it seems that the public have concluded that the animal must have escaped from an abattoir, no-one has come forward to claim ownership, therefore there's "nothing to see here, move along", the council aren't interested, the police are happy that no-one was hurt or injured. 

 

On a positive note, this bull is at least leading a nice happy life away from Birmingham!

I saw this and was wondering if it was an augury. But then I thought it's probably a load of bullocks

Watching BBC news ( I know, I know) and they are banging on about 'sole survivor' even sending someone to interview his family. Seems weird how much they are focusing on him and repeating his name all of the time. 

It’s a PSYOP (psychological operation). - There’s NO WAY he survived the crash.
 

A MASSIVE INFERNO ensued and he bears NO burns, not even smoke marks on his clothing.

 

If he was thrown from the plane onto concrete he wouldn’t be walking.
 

And why was he swatting away those people like flies ?

 

And he still has his mobile phone with him.

 

 

////  ////  ////

 

The controllers don’t want people flying, so this crash was to INDUCE FEAR in the populous, to discourage flights.

 

AND to induce fear into the population, generally.

 

AND to invoke sympathy for Indians (and ethnics in general) (Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan).

 Maybe, rethink about your Kalergi Plan. Past Indian (Hindu)immigration was/is greatly beneficial to our country. There's a significant difference if you go 300 miles east or west of India. IMO.

Well GB News quoted a sole survivor from Pan Am Lockerbie(1988) who didn't quite make it. Slow response from Emergency Services. Ask yourself, what's the angle? Problem. Reaction. SOLUTION.

Isnt there normally at least 1 or 2 large air crashes every year though? It's not unheard of. But it is quite hard to believe someone died in that but I don't believe it's beyond the realms of possiblity.

171 is an Angel Number. Its spiritual meaning is to benefit from divine protection.

 

Hence the "miracle survivor".
