Elon Musk cares more about UK citizens than all our politicians. Following the attempted beheading by stanley knife of an unfortunate man attacked by an African immigrant in Northern Ireland, all we want is someone in power to acknowledge there is a problem here, and take action.
Last week a trial of a Sikh who stabbed a white man to death and claimed he had been racially attacked came to ahead. He went to jail for murder after it was found he was the attacker. Police on the scene didnt believe the white guy when he said he had been stabbed and he died on the floor in hand cuffs. The police automatically believed the Sikh when he claimed racism.
Its getting worse and inaction is throwing fuel on the fire.
God knows what Americans must think of us.
A politician only does the right thing when they absolutely have no other choice. Strange that.
Ive had a really good afternoon out at Wray scarecrow festival where people build scarecrows to a different theme every year. Its a spring tradition for me to visit, but this year things got very odd indeed. I always call in at a church that has a second hand book sale to raise funds. There are a very wide range of books and I expect some are donated by the students of the nearby university, as some are rather niche and academic.
Well this year I found two disturbing books. Two books that I was shocked to find in a church, and nobody seemed care, or notice. The first was a book called The History of Torture ! The second was a book of ritual magick adorned with the painting of a topless well endowed Egyptian woman. I couldnt believe what I was seeing. Had someone placed these books as a joke in the church ?
The area is close to a place known historically for witchcraft called the Trough of Bowland. Some of the scare crows had a pagan vibe to them I think. A few often depict the Green Man whatever the theme is every year.The village of Wray has many houses built in the 1600's so is seriously old. The stature of the houses is odd and I would say they are uniformly built for much smaller people back then. This is the first year ive noticed this though.
We came across a group of people having a picnic by the river. They were dressed up as semi scarecrows. Not enough to be funny, but just enough to be creepy. People can identify as anything nowadays so I didnt stare too much, as they would probably enjoyed it too much.
Finally, and this disturbed me the most was just how ill young people looked. The teenagers were so pasty and pale. They looked as though they had spent months indoors away from the sun light. Their skin look thin. People aged up their mid 30's looked so faded, and their skin looked thicker and pock marked or more leathery. Face after face showed the same story. The oldest people looked the healthiest and actually had some colour to them. Many of these people were short and squat and unhealthy looking, waddling as they walked.
Today has been disturbing and I feel we are in a very strange reality now. In fact I am now thinking this all sounds like a Lovecraft story. Either I am going mad or something very disturbing is happening.
This story has to be told. Its very unpleasant and sad, but I think its important because it is another dark piece of the jigsaw that is this valley.
Directly across ths dale from us is a farm. About 5 years ago the farmer retired as the death of his mentally troubled daughter just destroyed his will I guess. She died after drinking cleaning fluids in a mental health facility where she stayed sometimes when at her worst.
So a young family decided to rent the farm and had 4 children, but the 4th was born with a horrific rare genetic condition that meant she was prone to blistering in her throat and air ways. She is a toddler now and has frequent stays in hospital. She is currently at home on oxygen to help her breath this week. She has not been in a good way recently, and i fear tragedy number 2 maybe ahead for this valley.
Now what are the odds of this connection occurring ? The burning of the throat seems to have been repeated for the new occupants of the farm. It shows a persistent malice in my eyes. Or maybe its just a coincidence ? Its going to lead to death twice no doubt.
