Never, never never give up.

Muslims & Racism And Hand Guns in GB

Located just as you exit Westminster Abby is a wonderful memorial to Sir Winston Churchill. On the wall, just as you exit,to the left, is a plaque memorial to FDR.

I have to say that GB is not lost. Most of the people I spoke with are very bitter about joining the EU. The European Union has brought nothing but trouble and scum from across the globe to England. There was a time when having a hand gun in England was unheard of but since joining the EU and having the influx of so many new immigrants that do NOT want to assimilate to the Brits culture but want the Brits to assimilate to theirs, the problem with hand guns come with it. Not due to the Muslims, which by the way, the Brits cant stand, but due to the influx of Eastern Europeans who purchase them on Ebay and have them shipped into GB without the ability of the British governments checking. Im telling you, the Brits love to hunt and will NEVER give up their hunting rifles. But, they do not want hand guns in their nation.

They have the same concerns as Americans do. In many ways they are much in the same as us. My daughter refered to the Brits and England in general as “Bizzaro World America”. They are so much like us but yet so different.

My home base for the two weeks in GB was located in a very culturally diverse neighborhood located in Hackney, Islington part of London. The North East End of London. There were Greeks, Turks, Africans, Asians and Whites (Friench, German, Sweeds, Irish) all living in an unsegregated neighborhood. To say racism is not an issue in GB would be a lie on my behalf but let me tell you from my personal experiance, its not as blatant as it is here in the states between the Black & White lines. Honestly, we can learrn a lot from the Brits in that regard. I was in a club located on Brick Lane in East London a week ago that a relative took me to. I walked outside to have a smoke and ended up staying outside for an hour and a half speaking with the locals about racism.

Let me say my heart is on my sleve here when I say this. In my entire conversations with the Africans in the club, I NEVER ONCE felt as if I was saying something that would be deemed a raciest comment. There we no boundry lines in my mind built out of stone that went up becuase I was afraid to be deemed a raciest. I wasnt afraid that my comments were going to be seen as raciest and in all honesty, they werent. I would never have been able to say and feel what I did there, here in the states. There was not one ounce of “White Guilt”. I didnt have to announce to the people I was speaking to that I was in fact NOT a raciest and that I was just asking questions. It was SO nice. Its as if the Brits nailed it to “As long as you speak English, your my equal”. We are ALL humans looking to acheve the same things in life and live in peace in doing so. Now, the Muslims, I guess we can just NOT consider them Human.

The Africans and Jamacians in the club also did not like Muslims. They (the Africans) went to GB for a better life, learned the language and wanted to assimilate into GB. They (along with many others) pointed out that the Muslims do not. The Muslims in GB are viewed as flees on the dog that is British Society. A few years back, before the formaing of the European Union, they were just considered a nuscance and now they are a full blown epademic that the Brits are FULLY aware of. They can not pull out of the EU, its much to late for that, but the Brits in general are watching their backs.

The club goers were not the only ones I spoke to in regards to the Muslim problems in GB. In every instance and conversation with 99% of the people I came across, they also stated the Muslims were not there to become Brits, but rather they wanted the Brits money. The free ride w/o ANY attempt to become or accept the Brittish way of life.

Mike is an elderly Greek man born in 1930. He spoke to me about how when he was a child of about 10 or so, when the “Yanks” (Thats us) came to help fight the Germans. He spoke to me in great detail about the bombing raids and what it was like to have the Germans so close. He remembered being with them (The Yanks) and eating with them and they were passing out ice cream to the children that were there at the time. Most of the children during WWII were sent to the country to stay with family to avoide being killed but the bombing raids. It had been so long since he had had any and went to a huge Yank soldier and asked him if he could have a little more. He said the soldier just smiled, broke into tears and grabgbed him, hugged him and held him for what seemd like forever. Mike never forgot that day. Or anything he had to survive through in WWII as a child. The thing that sent a chill down my back wa when Mike said to me in regards to the Muslim situation in GB:

“Its a shame really, In my entire life you would think we had learned from our past what is important. Im afraid in my lifetime, we will see a revolution on the streets here in London, in my lifetime, and I am already a 78 year old man.”

That statement was key to me. Only one person I spoke to in my entire trip wouldnt comment on how they felt. I have to say, I spoke with a LOT of people in the two weeks I was there.

American Politics, The British Media & Global Warming

I have to say I am VERY lost in regards to current events being gone for two weeks and out of my loop of information conserning what the situations are in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. I had to search (when time allowed) for ANY information conserning all of the above on the net. The British Media is suffering from the same fatal disease the American Media is. You dont hear the truth, you hear what they want you to hear.

I was on my way to Highgate to spend some time at Kenwood. Kenwood is one of many small museum homes that I had the chance to see on my escapes from asking to many questions. Below is a photo of “Something” that happned just 5 blocks from the home I was staying at. You will notice the top of a police car pealed off and laying on the street. Someone was dead. There was a body laying on the ground covered by a sheet.

I have no clue what happened. I was with a woman who’s son is involved with the police who also stated that “It looked as if a bomb has gone off”. And it did look that way. She told me the Brits wont report it. To get the good information on whats going on in London you truly have to know someone either in the Police or the Media.

When I returned from Hampstead and Highgate, I turned on the nightly news to see what had happened. Nothing reported. I searched the internet, I read the paper the next day and NOTHING. Which also explanes a lot as to why most of the Brits I spoke with had no clue that Hillery Clinton was no longer running for president and was in fact out of the race. Yup! The day I got to London, I was asked by several people what I thought about Hussein running for president, If he would win or will it be Clinton.

I had to explain a LOT as to why I thought Hussein would NOT make a good president. No one knew his record or what he stood for. No one understood that the Democrats here are not Democrats but rather Communists under a blue donkey print sheet. I opened MANY eyes. A few Brits thought Hussein would not get into office because America was to “Raciest” to elect a black president. When I would hear that, Let me tell you, I went off in a VERY professional way and explained that if he did NOT get in because Americans were to raciest to elect him, it was his own doing and that its not a White VS Black issue but rather certain black using that as an issue and many more Americans can see through that.

It was fucking cold in GB. Many if not all Brits I came in contact with blamed it on Global Warming. I shook my head and bit my tongue EVERY time. I was far to out numbered on the Global Warming bullshit. Its huge there. Mind you, has anyone ever know London or GB in its entirety to be known for beautiful weather? LMFAO NO! It was generaly 15C to 20C - NEVER making it above or 70. Not only did GB buy the Global Warming Bullshit hook line and sinker, they have been laid out, scaled and fillet by it. On my return to the states, I logged into Brittish Ariways site to check in before arriving to Heathrow. I was automaticly asked if I would like to purchase Carbin Credits for my flight back to the states. Oh HELL, Fuck No was not an option on the list. I don’t think the Brits can be saved from that. Its far to late.

Outside Of London

Me in Bath England. Don’t laugh, I look like crap. It was cold & raining most of the day.

I made it to Bath, England along with Salisbury.

One day we walked the 4 miles from Battersea Power Station to just past Westminster Abby.

The view from Bath Abby just next to the Roman Baths.

Other then the sites and the pure BEAUTY of the areas, the people are all the same. Same ideas and feelings about poliics and Muslims along with race issues. I do have to mention that I was taken back by the rudeness by the average person on the street in general. Every steriotype I held about the Brits being propper and courtious flew out the window. I had been bumped into, smacked with umbrellas, stepped on, pushed out of the way most times then I can count. In EVERY instance, I said excuse me, Im sorry and pardon me with not one peep back from the person who did it. I seen a woman with a baby carage on the bus trying to get off, get jumped OVER so the idiot that did it, could get off at his stop before she did. I seen an old woman fall onto the street from the bus between the curb and the wheel of the buss. If it was not for a man sitting in the front seet, the driver would have rolled over her.

One night my husbands family held a party in our honor. Talking to the kids (all under 12) was funny. None of them had ever had a peanut butter & jelly sandwich and they ALL believe American kids are exactly like what you see on all MTV reality shows.

We as Americans NEED to change the media here in the states and how we are viewed across Europe. We should NEVER change the REALITY of who we are. The world would in fact lose if we did.

And there you have it. In general, GB can be saved because the Brits KNOW what the situation is at hand. Unless your talking about Global Warming. LOL

All & all, theres no place like home and this entire trip has pushed me to go further to get the truth out as much as I humanly can.
