That Dietary Supplement -- the Milk of Human Kindness.


That Dietary Supplement -- the Milk of Human Kindness.
 Last week's heat-wave was caused by the immigrants -- all those unwanted, homeless, supplicant people, coming to the United (???) kingdom in leaking boats. As if we don't have enough surplus-to-need blacks and browns coming here and flooding this place with doctors and nurses and such-like. And now, the thunderstorms -- they appear to have brought their murderous weather with them.
   Priti, our Home Secretary (made-for-the job) knows all about these people of course. She was one of them that came from East Africa, mostly Uganda, when Amin threw them out. So were Sunak's family. That cohort came by plane, with sterling bank accounts preceding them to smooth their way. They prospered here and now occupy positions of power. But Priti is adamant -- she wants none of them reaching here. And Rishi Sunak advises them that France is a much better place for them to be. 
  I was one of those too. I came in 1974, fleeing a bad marriage. The country was desperately short of Maths teachers at that time, and a job was available the week after I reached the U K. I spent ten years teaching in Comprehensive schools. On occasion, even the odd student objected to being taught by a wog. Accommodation was difficult to find and the only rooms I got were in the house of an Indian, taking a lodger.
   Eventually my children came, the eldest qualified as a lecturer of Maths, the second became a Structural Engineer, and the youngest a Governance adviser with the British Council.  We did not need any benefits ever and were warmed by the kindness of the ordinary British person.The odd racist asked me to go back to where I came from, my children suffered nicknames ---- It didn't disturb our sanity.
   All four of us were acutely aware of the glass ceilings within our professions then. That invisible top is still there. We accepted that as par for the course, grumbling a little now and then.
   Are we not a compassionate people here? I ask myself in 2020. The 4000+ immigrants in a year, desperate people who come here in suicidal conditions can surely be accepted with care and kindness. We have big enough hearts for that, don't we? I hope Priti and Sunak will look hard at themselves and do another U-turn. The Tories have done so many, they must be pretty (Priti?) good at it by now.

   And, of course, our economic collapse was definitely the fault of the immigrants-- it is beginning to sweep us into recession, and the Government will need someone to hang that one on. Immigrants? Who else?

  1. another gem post! UK became very unfriendly recently and there is that subtle racism in the society starting from private and public school which ring a fence between the good, the bad and the ugly, I feel sorry for my children who are growing in this country heading to a 20 yrs recession and I can't afford to send them to priority schools that would give them better opportunities for the future
