I, it seems from the ‘Luvvies’ point of view, am a Privileged White Person and I should apologise for that!
Let me tell you how privileged I am,at 15, being the oldest of four children, I had to leave school and get a job to bring another wage into the home.
It didn’t matter what I wanted to do, to work I did go.
Up at 5 every morning and then a long walk for a bus, I humped bags of sugar, 2 Cwt, Flour 2 1/4 Cwt, barrels of Lurpack butter 1 Cwt and lots more on & off a lorry .
When I was at School, they told us Slavery was abolished, they lied! Another lie was ‘Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise’, that was a bloody big Lie!
All my working life I went to work, in Edinburgh they refer to that as ‘Going to their Toil’, they knew what they were talking about.
I used to hear people talk of ‘The White Man’s Burden’, now I understand, it’s all the White Mans fault! Everything!
Our Society is divided as those who can play the Race Card do so with regularity and impunity, the White members of the ‘Perpetually Indignant on Behalf of Other People Society’ cry themselves to sleep at night because they are White & Privileged and not of an Ethnic Race. They join those who seek to alter Britain in their image and make sweeping statements that infer they speak for the majority of British people.
Did you notice the photo of the White woman standing underneath Rhodes statue at the College in Oxford with a banner proclaiming ‘If you’re not with us, you’re against us’?
Here in Glasgow today we had trouble in the City centre, there were people there who stated they were protecting the Cenotaph, there was no trouble until a group called the ‘Youth Art Collective’ turned up and raced past police into George Square. The Luvvies Press stated it was ‘Loyalists’ who created the trouble, the police said it was nothing to do with BLM, the Youth Collective intended to protest about a statue in the Square.
We are now living in a Society where Mob Rule is the norm, where their opinions matter and our’s don’t. Humza Yousaf, SNP Minister of Justice claimed it was a contrast to the BLM protest in Glasgow last Sunday, he didn’t mention the shameful attack on police in London, not surprising really as he would like to alter history too!
Sturgeon stuck her oar in as well, condemning the fighting, she was silent last week when:-
She didn’t step in and prevent the SNP Council allowing BLM protesters to breach the Lockdown and gather packed like sardines in a tin on Glasgow Green.
Yousaf tied the police’s hands on the Saturday by saying the police would ‘Police the rally proportionately.’.
On Monday on Radio Scotland on being asked why the police didn’t step in and make arrests,he passed the buck to the Chief Constable saying it was a police problem, not his.
The Police for their part didn’t arrest the organiser or those on who spoke on the platform in what Yousaf described on the radio as ‘An unlawful gathering’! Political correctness comes before the Law. they didn’t have problem stopping cars on the A82 that Sunday asking drivers where they were going and turning some back, they didn’t have problem moving people in Balloch Park for sitting on seats, these were the ‘Little’ people, of course.
The SNP Council had nothing to say except they were examining whether street names and statues should be removed.
Sooner or later the politicians who continually condone mobs on our streets in the name of ‘Legitimate Protest’ will cause by their actions riots in our streets when both sides of Society clash. That’s not a guess, that’s a fact as we can see how divided Britain is.
That’s my opinion and I stand by every word. Unfortunately we live in a Society where Free Speech is condemned and we only get told by the press & media what they want us to know.
Too bad Social Media is out there, that’s where the truth will surface.
