Changing times
There was on Oz TV the other night a documentary centered around the East End of London, Craven Cottage West Ham district.
The persons interviewed were all good London people of many generations past. Families who had for the past 7 or 8 generations lived in the area. They had survived two world wars, depressions and a general strike. But through it all had survived as a community supporting each other in times of trouble.
Many now are moving across the river to towns in Essex.
The reason, they are being driven out by those who will not show their face, who dress in black from head to toe. The area is being infiltrated by these people will will not integrate and care not who they displace. It gives me a greater insight as to Britex.
I have as one for some time now upon the fence thus sat, fearful maybe of what may yet occur, concerned with England's future in an economic world. But now no more, for the fence does now prove sharp, and cuts with deep emotion at my very soul. For now I see the land that gave me birth usurped by those who from beneath a veil do scorn our way of life. Who would without compunction remove by any means the very fabric of our lives.
For centuries past the men of this great land, this sceptered isle where men of courage showed their mettle in time of adversity, where great men set forth upon the seas in exploration of unkown lands, who shed their blood on Flanders field, and gave their all for those who did remain.
Such were the men who made this land, this happy bunch of Englishmen who stood tall above all others.
But now, by those who would by stealth and vile practice, steal the very birthright of good Englishmen are driven from their homes.
Rise up good men of England, and tell those who rule, enough, for we are by birth the owners of this fair land and from us then no man will take.
No more controlled by faceless men, no more the rules of foreign lands, for this is ours, our way of life, our green and pleasant land.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

How very true, John
It is time our Quisling Politicians knew about that.

Re: Changing times
John in OZ
Fully agree with your sentiments and have seen and experienced it first hand. They come here and have absolutely no intention of integrating, instead demanding that we change our centuries old traditions, laws etc. to suit their purpose.
Little wonder then that in a recent you.gov poll the majority (by a large percentage) polled, wanted a ban on the *****. There is now a groundswell of opinion here demanding that families here are prosecuted and jailed for the death of their female family members sent on "holiday" to Pakistan where the are raped and murdered in "honour killings". This shows that despite living here for a number of generations they still have not integrated one bit, instead choosing to follow the faith of the most backward and savage religion in the world today. I would suspect that the greatest percentage of those wearing the ***** do not wear it by choice here in the U.K. but rather they are either brain washed or forced into wearing it.

Re: Changing times
IT should be banned, you do not know who is underneath it.
After the London Bombings one of the master minds behind it left the country, flying from Heathrow dressed in a womans *****, nikab and veil. using his sisters passport, the immigration authorities thought He was a woman and so he escaped justice.
In Manchester Airport they had the Body Xray Scanners, to check if anyone has a bomb under their clothing, THEY complained and so they were taken out, now no scanners. It was set up because of THEM. Why do the authorities always back down to THEM.

Re: Changing times
Because we are too bloody soft, everyone takes the pi** out of us, we catch the illegals in the country, they have sent their passports back to their homeland, so we cannot prove their nationality to deport them, we then release them and tell them to report to the police station weekly, its a joke, they just leg it again. Why cannot we toughen up, stick em in jail, not enough jails ? then build some more. No wonder half the world is heading here !!!, kt

Body scanner
The body scanners were deemed safe, according to a report in March
Passenger body scanners are being scrapped at Manchester Airport, officials have said.
The machines will not be used from October as they failed to get a decision from the European Commission (EC) after the three-year trial ended.
They will be replaced by "privacy-friendly" scanners at a cost of £1.3m and an extra 55 security staff.
Andrew Harrison from the airport said it was "frustrated" because all parties were happy with the scanners.
Mr Harrison, Chief Operating Officer at Manchester Airport Group, said: "Everyone involved is happy with them - they are safe, security like them and in a recent survey 100% of passengers were satisfied with them and prefer them to frisking.
"It's frustrating that Brussels has allowed this successful trial to end by failing to make a decision on them at an additional cost of £1.3m to Manchester Airport."
He added: "Our security surveys and those run by the Department for Transport show passengers regularly rate their experience at Manchester as one of the best security processes in the UK if not Europe.
"There's no doubt that body scanners play a big part in these results."
The body scanners use a low dose of X-rays to scan through clothing, producing naked images of passengers to identify whether they have concealed items.
They were deemed safe in a report by the EC in March.
The EC had stopped trials of the scanners last November while concerns they could emit harmful levels of radiation were investigated. However, Manchester Airport continued to use them as it was an existing trial.
Unlike the body scanners, the new "privacy-friendly" scanners will not need a member of security in a remote room to check the images.
They produce automatic cartoon-style images of passengers, thus providing more privacy.
But additional staff are required to frisk passengers when the images show potential "threat areas" suggesting there might be concealed items.
A spokesman for the EC said: "It is important to remember that we are now coming to the end of what was always a trial and while the European Commission authorised the use of the ionising radiation 'Backscatter' scanners back in 2010.
"Technology has taken significant steps forward since then allowing for increased privacy and a move away from radiation technology.
"The Commission takes note of Manchester Airport's intended upgrade to radio frequency based millimetre wave technology scanners offering the highest protection to the privacy of those subjected to screening."
Having seen the body image produced, [graphic]would prefer to be patted down unless females were screened by a female security guard, and a man for male travellers. Also since we are now leaving Europe it could be reinstated

Re: Changing times
Thanks for that Information Marian. It is good to know that the wise men of Europe are concerned about our well being.
I still think they should be used, There was a lot of "THEM" complaining about it especially the women who wear the full clothing they wear.
That would have discovered the London Bomber who escaped and had disguised himself in their womens clothing.
Cheers

Re: Changing times
Lets hope the mealy mouthed sprouts from Brussels are long gone by then. There are two obvious answers to the problem, 1. if leaving the country they are strip searched by females.2. if coming into the country and refuse, are placed on the next plane back to where they came from. JWS
