The city is dying, it’s overflowing. The issue is distorted.

Labour Party councillors have raised concerns over plans to convert a former city center hotel into a giant 122-bed HMO. HMO would have rooms across six storeys, with each room having its own kitchenette area. The works would also include a refreshing of the building's exterior.

The site is currently an eyesore, But these plans by `liberal sanctuary loving council`, even got its biggest supporters closely examing the facilities available on the site. However they can see, Present city center issues of crime,

• sexual predators, 
• phone snatching.
• theft from shops.
• drug use.
• distraction burglaries' by Roma communities
• sleeping rough.
• Over numerical evidence of illegal economic migrants, active in city

All of the above classed as "the `current problem` is not just replaced by a new one." When actually really means these issues will only become wider, bigger and much harder to address.

Social issues like this are routed in lack of spiritual direction. So we are reluctant to confront issues as we are not guided to reflect the biggest question is this...Why are we identifying all people seeking Asylum as one bunch. When in fact we have ..

• Those seeking genuine refuge.
• Person who has chosen to over stay a visa application.
• Economic migrants wanting to achieve finical benefit.
• Actual criminals arriving by gangs routes to pursue activities.
• Terrorists well known there is a small minority active.

So what happens is we respond without guidelines or ethical choices we follow click bait, internet invitations. Misled to react instead of deep reflection concerning ourselves with views not just from media. To those seeking fear terror oppression danger there really is a place of refuge safety and home. But constantly led by falseness YET those being persecuted are not even on agenda of the news media, not discussed or recognised in social debate. No click bait for Christians being killed in Somalia. 

As one example. Al-Shabaab harassed and killed persons suspected of converting from Islam, and maimed and killed those who failed to adhere to its edicts. Al-Shabaab crept into a Mandera quarry at night, pulled sleeping workers from their tents, lined them up by faith — separating Christians from Muslims. They then executed 36 men in cold blood —  simply for being Christian.

She found herself in a hotel room with no certainty about tomorrow. Her asylum case was frozen in the backlog. Young Jewish woman from Central American country. Let’s call her Miriam. The Home Office changed the rules around her, tried to force a roommate on her, and left her young life suspended in limbo. Our weekly meetings of Jewish learning took place over coffee and Kit Kats.  It was a way of humanising the process — just seeing another person as a human being

  No click bait for Christians being killed. 

There is often a chasm today between people with religious faith and those who may consider themselves "spiritual".

 O Master, grant that I may never seek So much to be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of Your peace, Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope, Where there is darkness, only light, And where there’s sadness, ever joy.

Make me a channel of Your peace, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, In giving of ourselves that we receive, And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

Unfortunately, in life, things rarely go according to plan, When he burst on the scene at the age of 19 for United against bitter rivals Liverpool in the Premier League under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, it felt like the Mancunian had the world at his feet and an Old Trafford career in the palm of his hands.

There is often a chasm today between people with religious faith and those who may consider themselves "spiritual".But in conversing away from the temple like the market place we encounter faithful commitments, faith filled conversations, faith held by those not in the temple. Here part of that same `stuff`.

However in May 2025 Brandon Williams left Chester Crown Court. with a 14-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, a three-year driving ban,  a significant amount of community service. Further memory of a crash that mercifully caused no fatalities or serious injury. The mental scars are a daily reminder of how close tragedy came, and give him the fuel to ensure he does not waste this chance.  for Williams, it's been a traumatic period played out under the gaze of the world's biggest football club. His every move watched, analyses and often criticised. now his redemption has begun at Hull City a second tier football club.

Listened to the interview on radio was impressed as the conversation moved to playing football, others believing, but  also offering a form of forgiveness plus acceptance. talk about Mums cup of tea, market café work ethic. Hope that the natural stuff can become the main focus.

we all need to be given better chance, all need to be offered different chance, then maybe even the next day we offer same opportunities to the same person. Better chance, Different chance.

Maybe that's when we become the channel of peace. Its here we offer counsel hope grace all that big stuff that's sometimes required. Maybe we also offer a cup of tea in the market place to another who needs a listen.

Its a theme this guy returns to often, its theme we should believe, its theme perhaps. NO something experienced. (Experienced the other side also). YOU the peacemaker that fits.

No leadership .

 So says Israeli model who based nationally in UK .

I don't recognise my own town where strangers are those indigenous to heritage of the area. Fed up with threats of person protesting about issues getting labelled with racists comments. Got friends who have left the UK. Immigration  become large ugly topics nature and purpose of local community is hijacked .

Leaderships is lacking in every area.

Present leaders of our country do stuff that even shames the last people in power.

David Cameron used to belong firmly to the "don't do God" tradition, once saying his faith came and went like "the reception for Magic FM in the Chilterns"

Even though secular ways of being taken firm hold in Government ethics, control of the BBC. Evident especially in education system that's not fit, even through the present leaders of our country doing stuff that even shames the last people in power.This here what we are digesting is result of that new direction.

We still find God in the everyday, (there is the rub). Creative thoughts race into peoples minds as l found today, several folks, witnessed Sparrow hawk chase something low across fields of newly harvested Gold.

That you've got a higher power

Got me singing' every second, dancing' every hour

When for so long, I'd been down on my knees

Then your love song saved me over and over
For so long, I'd been down on my knees

Oh, yeah, you've got a higher power

And you're really someone I wanna know 

Maybe spiritual is that force for good which entered your life, slight note always communicating with you. Such themes echo along with ~`higher power, struggling you lifted me , l was low you rescued myself`.

So how do we Hold onto faith, when one is feeling less like God, spiritual or even like following Jesus. My remedy is to recite `Lords prayer`, speak a `psalm` and keep repeating it over, finding say type of blessing over for 3 repeats. Speak quietly `Lord Jesus hear my prayer`... PAUSE...again and gain.

That keeps me in the mix. Be grateful, love nature. Switch of the TV , read...re read. Good if its the bible but any theology will work. Read lyric sheets. Compose a spiritual playlist.

Write down why you believe. Why your finding spiritual dynamics not working.

Faith includes doubting. Faith is a sojourner.

For so long, I'd been down on my knees

Oh, yeah, you've got a higher power

Laughter messy creative days .

Everyone laughed we got creative, colours messy stuff, hands soon needed washing . Conversations between innocent  children, safe place of childhood. Unbridled playing around.

Scientific, technically advanced child is so much at ease with computers. Programmed a robot to paint. Adults felt so out of place. This was a quiet activity, part of local initiative to provide. My days chasing funding are over. My days organised  summer programmer ended. Younger females taken the reigns it fruitful. Client group observed enjoying this project so very much .

lot to be grateful for in normal late August 30 degree days.

Saturday in normal good stuff of football plus match of the day. Swimming in cooler North sea.

Skys overcast but no rain in forecast. Apparently the weather guys stated it's from Sahara and mid Mediterranean forest fires.

Harvest been brought in slightly earlier because had lots of 30 degree days. Something very nice about plenty of 30 degree days. But due to me being born in Summer heat of August. I favour Autumnal weather. Do you know believe that's accurate.

Gym, then prescription. Cup of tea bag of chips Headed home. lot to be grateful for in normal late August 30 degree days.

So count simple blessings, be thankful to whoever you praise. Enjoy nature have plenty of fluid. Not every day's a normal late August 30 degree day.

Today is. Express gratitude today someone is broken hearted, family struggle on just enough. They had no holiday, media news (which l have chosen to view less), is disturbing. So enjoy a 30 degree day, they won't be lot more this year.

BREAKING Labour councillor Ricky Jones NOT GUILTY after calling for far-right protesters’ throats to be cut

We are seeing as clear as day now an unequal application of the law in the UK. The whole political, economic, justice systems are damaged infiltrated by evil mindset. Society has completely broken away from fairness with correct justice applied to all. On the streets in Market place, alleyways and traversed roads the bus stop along local pub. Gatherings where 'Call for civil war' has increased.

People are getting angry. There is a place for righteous anger.

If you are perhaps blind, deaf, or simple do not have any idea about news issues. My feet on the locality move me to places where listen. Witnessed increasingly people feel fed up of how politicians have governed, the judicial system has been weaponised, used like Goering's Nazis Germany to put down local people.

While promoting hatred and the enemies agenda. This is how we are being policed, evidence why our freedoms are being taken and `Judeo Christian`, values been poked at.

The territorial Spirits are armed ready to use two edge sword. Saints have prayed carefully adjusting places. The full armour of the Lord is being dressed with righteous army ready for the battle.
