No Interest In A Strong Healthy Society.

It’s a dreadful situation in England, now hundreds are in court, all those who got swept up in the riots.

I see the riots as an expression of absolute hopelessness of people who feel totally disenfranchised.

They have been told daily in the newspapers, radio, TV that their lives will get even worse after the cuts.

Many have nothing to look forward to but a life on benefits with no perspectives for a better future for them or their children.

Then there is also the daily news of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and atrocities such as Syria murdering its citizens.

And the distressing pictures from Libya, Bahrain, Tunesia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Egypt have also had a huge effect on people.

A shame no one has the political courage to say, we are responsible for what happened, now let’s see how we can resolve this and empower people.

They should invest in education as a priority; and restore paying money to encourage kids to remain at school from age 16 to 18.

Instead there have been calls for water cannon, teargas and rubber bullets by David Cameron the Prime Minister and other politicians.

These are calls for violence to resolve violence which surely can never work; it also shows that the Conservatives despite describing society as not just broken but sick have no interest in a strong healthy society.

Who Needs Them.

Another lovely day here, blue sky and sunshine, it got very cold during the night and especially between 05.00 and 06.00.

Now it is a gorgeous day, sadly not so in many places such as Japan, Bahrain and Libya.

Horrible listening to news of thousands killed in Japan by the earthquake and the resulting Tsunami.

Now there could be terrible destruction and many more deaths, caused by the lunatic decision to have nuclear reactors in a country which has so many earthquakes.

What made them do this, just thinking about this makes me upset, and I can’t believe that the government decided on this policy despite huge protests by the people. 

In Bahrain the King does not want people demanding a say in their lives and standing up for their human rights.

To maintain his parasitical position he has called in his friends from Saudi Arabia to crush the peaceful demonstrations.

They are killing people in ambulances, they have even killed people in the hospitals and they are stopping doctors treating injured people.

In Libya the brutal dictator, Gaddafi does not want to leave despite the majority of people wanting an end to his 42 years in power.

To achieve this he is killing his fellow Libyans with his mercenary army paid for with the oil wealth that he sees as his own.

While he is waging genocide on the people, governments around the world have been having many meetings and discussions as to what to do to stop him.

They have been talking about this for too long now without taking any action to save lives in Libya.

I now believe they will do nothing, so unless something happens soon a million people could be killed in Benghazi.

One way or another it is the people that are paying the price be it because of misguided decisions like Japan’s nuclear plants or tyrants like the King in Bahrain and Gaddafi killing them.

Great Courage.

Great courage is what the people in Libya, Bahrain, Yemen, Iran and Morocco are demonstrating.

The Libyan people are doing this even when facing extreme violence from the Libyan state and their mercenaries.

Scary to read of fighter jets bombing peoples houses, they have been destroying the neighbourhoods the demonstrators come ftom.

I did not realise until I heard that on the radio, that Israel were not the only ones to destroy the homes of any who they identify as troublemakers.

The entire family are punished and lose their homes, in Libya they kill the people and then destroy their family’s home and livelihood too.

People have been asked whether they are not scared to risk their lives, and the common response has been that they have to carry on.

That they have nothing to lose as they are already being killed, and have been for years, so have nothing left to lose.

I think it would be brilliant if Tunisia and then Egypt were the inspiration for all the other countries with dictators get rid of them now.

So come on Libya, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, Saudi. Arabia, Iran and Morocco and maybe this may sweep through Africa too.
