This little boy is 7. He's lost. He was lost when the terrorists attacked the Ramblas, his parents don't know where he is. How much more of this do we have to take before our shit useless politicians actually do something.

The latest dumbarsed Muslim terrorist tried to set a bomb off on London Underground. I say dumbarsed because he screwed up and it went too early and incorrectly. It only injured over 20 people, didn't kill anyone. As I said before, wait till we get one of these animals with half a brain.
Horrible story was a pregnant lady got knocked to the floor and was screaming as people ran over her in a panic stampede. I hope she's ok. All the news says is that no one is dead or critical, but over 20 in hospital with burns and injuries from stampede to get away.

If you don't get British humour you might not appreciate this. BIlly Connolly at his best.
Well worth the watch if you do get British humour.
It's only a short clip and comes with a warning....you may have to listen a few times to get past the Glaswegian accent.

Terrorist who planted bomb has been caught trying to escape at Dover. He's an 18 yr old 'refugee' .he was being cared for by an elderly couple in their 70's and 80's who have dedicated their life to looking after young people. People were evacuated from around this couples house, given one minutes to get out while police looked for more explosives. There are 29 people in hospital mainly with flash burns. UK Terror alert has been raised to critical meaning another attack is imminent. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/16/parsons-green-explosion-uk-terror-threat-level-critical-latest/

Horrific shooting in Las Vegas. The depths to which humanity can sink are fathomless. Sounds like a nutter rather than an outright terrorist. But whatever it is, thoughts with those across the pond.

This is how fucked up the issue of guns in America is. Think about this statement and let it sink in. "This led to an interesting issue in Las Vegas, where street performers, some dressed as Storm Troopers from Star Wars and the like, were spooking crowds with their fake guns. The county was able to pass a restriction against the open carry of toy guns but would not have been able to do the same with real firearms." -Vice In American it's never called Terrorist if the shooting is not a Muslim.

Terrorists will find ways to kill whatever. But gun laws allow loonies to join in the mayhem.

It's estimated that there are 88 guns for every 100 citizens in this country. The estimation is because the Federal Government is not "allowed" to fund studies or keep a statistical database and the Center for Disease Control is not allowed to research violent gun crimes. The NRA is a powerful lobby.

I don't think the US could ever reign it in now, it's gone too far. Even if they managed to bring in laws to ban them, there are way too many in the system.

I saw a tweet today referring back to the outcry when Trump called out Sweden for its rise in crime and rape. There was a link in the tweet to an article by the Times. It describes the rise in murder, crime and rape in Sweden in the immigrant neighbourhoods. The article is not a right wing press, it’s the Times. Worth a read to understand what is going on and why it’s been largely covered up. Sweden have now stopped their immigration policy . I had to put my email address in to access all the article but it’s free. It’s an eye opener. I recommend trying to read it. www.thetimes.co.uk/article/teens-roam-streets-with-rifles-as-crime-swamps-sweden-q83g055k9A few excerpts.. In Malmo, where a fifth of the 340,000 inhabitants are under 18, children as young as 14 roam the streets with Kalashnikov assault rifles and bulletproof vests. Attacks on the police are increasingly frequent. Rosengard’s force works from a black fortress of reinforced concrete with narrow windows and a 10ft-high electric fence. Neuding ( an international author) 36, born to a Jewish family who migrated from Poland, said Sweden is experiencing a “sexual assault crisis”. “Our government declared itself the world’s first feminist government, yet they have quietly abandoned women,” Neuding said. “There is mounting evidence that large-scale migration of men from extremely patriarchal cultures is limiting women’s freedom.” More than 36% of young Swedish women say they feel unsafe at night. The authorities have admitted they are unable to investigate rape cases immediately because the resources are focused on gang crime. “We are forced to choose between two evils,” the police said. The crime surge is mainly confined to so-called “areas of social exclusion”, a code for neighbourhoods such as Rosengard that are predominantly populated by immigrants. They are not classic ghettos — the infrastructure and services are better than in areas of central London Norway’s immigration minister, Sylvi Listhaug, visited Rinkeby last year to “learn” from the mistakes of “uncontrolled migration and poor integration”. Stockholm’s mayor, Karin Wanngard, protested that Rinkeby was a “fine neighbourhood” and “teeming with vitality”. A spate of shootings forced her to change her tune. The “growing brutality” among gangs has become “unprecedented” she said earlier this month.

There's always two sides to the immigration story and people are likely to find the side they agree with. While at the same time discount or not accept there being countering data. Read this article it will help you find the middle ground where the truth sits. Meanwhile back in America by January 25th cops had shot 38 people and we've had 11 mass shootings, a couple of them at schools. But Trump's message is still about curbing immigration and kicking out existing Mexican immigrants. The message being immigrants steal American jobs. I'm sure the message is the same message that plays in the UK, and plays in Sweden and will play in any country with a far right that promotes itself by promoting fear. In America immigrants actually are estimated to add 63 billion dollars to the economy, that's despite the claims that they take more than they give. I'm sure the numbers tend to fall along similar lines in other countries, granted other countries provide more benefits than the US but I'm sure the number would be in the black not in the red. Additionally there's a desire to paint all immigrants with the same wide brush, they're all criminals, any argument that starts like that you know isn't coming from a position of reason, but from a position of hate. A family leaving a war torn region, is looking for a better life, not a life of crime. Certainly there are and will always be a criminal influence and the government will in due time filter out that influence. The reality is that immigrant waves always come with the same stigma, earned or not. Was reading an article the other day on the perception of the Irish immigrant wave into America in the 19th century. It's uncanny how history repeats itself and we repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

That article ‘where The truth sits’ is a year old. The Times one I posted is current. Things have moved on and the truth about whats happening in Sweden is starting to emerge. It’s been covered up.
There’s no message in the UK that I’m aware of that immigrants steal jobs. Immigrants coming into the country and contributing to society are more than welcome.
In Sweden the influx of immigrants into a country with a small population is changing dynamics. They won’t integrate. And they don’t steal jobs because most of them are unemployed and on benefits. They are causing violence , lots of bombings, handgranades, knife attacks and rapes. This didn’t use to happen in Sweden. Sadly it seems these people are looking for a life of crime. They’re biting the hand that feeds them. They’re attacking police stations. Sweden reached out to these people...not all from war torn areas either, many are economic migrants. Sweden has some big, big issues to deal with and pretending nothings happenning isn’t the answer. Even Sweden’s liberal socialist government is starting to realise this, which is why they’ve changed their immigration policy.
