Starting a gathering in the Lords house.

We trying to do church by starting a gathering. We got time and the pace is not rushed. Neither is it traditional nor normal. It's a community social non Contract. With our own resources sometimes our own money. Lots of encounters. It's that simple.

This in 2026 is what the Church venue for youth work should look like. Encounters with youth at period of Thier life's when they grow most independent. All it is at present is a start. Somewhere to. Be with pizza hot chocolate and place of safety. Oh yeah the music...that's pretty loud.

“So if you hear something… even if it’s a little thing, you’re at the gym on the treadmill and someone makes a crack, say something.”

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced a public inquiry into the deaths of Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, who were killed during the terror attack at Manchester’s Heaton Park Synagogue in October 2025.

My first memory of a visit to a synagogue was to one when as a child went to sing with our school Choir, all really remember leaving stuffed with sweets and enjoyed wonderful cakes.  Later perhaps about 8 years. Going into my first paid employment working for a beautiful human being, who had survived the concentration camps. the camp was actually liberated by the Russians.

Spoke about that event here before plus in my Life often.
This great man who apprenticed myself into Life. 

He made me proud and affected who l am today. Cherish his memory alongside my own precious son.
Hatred begets hatred which further begets more hatred but please don't forget.... now socially acceptable to show disdain or intolerance towards the Holocaust. It begins with words.  “So if you hear something… even if it’s a little thing, you’re at the gym on the treadmill and someone makes a crack, say something.” Labour Party has made “softcore” Holocaust denial acceptable.

I found this to be true even Polish people had open conversation leaned towards ..`oh yeah that's not true`..but don't imaging it is going to be easy to speak up. Will not be easy to suggest someone owns an untruth. Never acceptable to query

a lie or state your truth there will be a consequence and that may well cost.

But going to ask you this are you ready ? Are you brave enough? Are you `conucchies` large enough ?  All around are people trying to rewrite history, challenging every truth. 

• This is the society that begins with dismantling individual values,
•  prevents gatherings where agreement conversation growth and discord happen organically.

When when the individual has been muted, the community meets less often. this happens ...

• The very fabric of society is threatened and eroded..

This is a bit of classic Kevin Waller ;- Its is Life time learnt logic, values presented accepted and followed. Its northern spirituality and Christian ethical teaching ...Also worth look at again.

Not here, to influence you with their @@@@@@.

 Metallica front man James Hetfield took a swipe at artists who use their concerts to lecture audiences about politics during the band's Las Vegas residency. In what could easily be seen as a dig at the likes of Macklemore, Hetfield told the crowd:

"Unless you live in Vegas, you've come a long way to spend some time with Metallica. We're grateful for that. Your travels, the money you spend, the time it took, thanks for coming to celebrate with us,. I just gotta say, Metallica is We are here to forget about all the outside shit. Metallica's agenda is love, energy and heavy music, baby!"

Some rescue news.

Coastguard crews winched down the cliff to get to the four people while the RNLI waited in the choppy water below as it pushed the orange rescue boat closer and closer to the rocks below. RNLI, coastguard and emergency services were praised for their efforts in getting the trio to safety.

Sadly to say know something about this actual situation.l got into a real mess around 10 years ago with much missed Matthew. We had gone looking at the seals. Excited about the wildlife  and Matty was animal crazy. Going through the cave at thornwick bay it was ankle deep while on the other side we suddenly within minutes were knee deep then waist deep in water 

It took courage to get through the cave where the water resided. It was shallowest heading back too the beach. We recovered but learnt a solum lesson. Another of life's dramas we faced. 

North Yorkshire Coast: Four boys clinging to the side of a cave were rescued in a multi-agency operation involving the RNLI and HM Coastguard after becoming trapped by the rising tide.

 

The recent news plus the abandonment by our Government means need to examine my place in society.

Done my last task for this week. Prepared the vegetables placed them in slow cooker.

Communicated with my friends sadly via social-media. Read through emails nothing urgent. No diaries dates ahead lies lazy self day walking history. Enjoying nature avoiding the news. Reflective cups of tea. Hopefully some reading.

I am on downtime as was reminded for my only 'holiday of the year' with my sabbatical taking place. Looked at some Bod Dylan actual artwork. Walked the history plus heritage of this environment. Like in Valletta it gives myself good reason to remain cheerful.  

The recent news plus the abandonment by our Government means need to examine my place in society. For sure this northern guy experienced poverty all his Life cannot commit to political system who keep leaning away from the faith community and tribes l recognise as honest. E.G. Christian  and Jewish along with hindu.
The casualness that our society has slipped into a wicked anti-Semitism hate filled WOKE agenda. Where kidz who can't perform get registered as ADHD( AD?S DHP) or whatever gets most PIP benefit. Lack moral compass that we can sail a ship through difficult times giving them limited opportunities while burdening them with limited involvement with any gathering community, nor chance of improving as an individual.

Less and less.

So done a bit of work spread out all over rural town.

Lot less gym

Money very very tight.

Petrol expensive most l have ever witnessed.

Even the Sopranos threw up a surprise ..couldn't recall Pauline walnuts getting his nails done. Gangster at nail saloon see everything now.

The bus ride on a real chilly Autumn day was through nature displaying Llama newly sheared moved more briskly near Bishop Burton pool. The. Cattle walking across westwoods while bus drove slowly past observing that cattle have right of way. Sheep returned down from high ground.. it's changing moments but humanity hatred and ignorance takes little rest.

Job ..(Book in the Bible).. is about what happens when a Nation turns away from God's guidelines. Calling for people to return often the disobedience remains society plus order breaks down. Situations we are in presently with no leadership nor guidance again and again we see lack of solutions. Individuals can not suggest help or directions to enable development or change.

The beds are burning still people get involved in wasted practice vaping spreading filthy germs around. Low cost clothing , because got no money for better, people less social, little cohesion, quality of food provisions is more expensive, less is sold. Self indulgence heads down on mobile prisons they hand carry. Poverty increasing.  Rich again has always getting richer. Injustice screams out nothing changes.

...not sure it's ....

 Listening to very early Bod Dylan ..'Song for woody 1963...masters of war ..blowing in the wind. .. 

It was different time then it was intense thoughtful listen up in my space in overcrowded room shared with siblings. Now hear them still fresh more critical of the tone of the voice. The instrument is sparce uncomplicated. Simple times but same songs start wonder do l love them old songs less. No it's myself who has changed l'm in a better place time evolved but message from lyrics still resonates. Vile harsh statement in Masters of war still hits home. The all for fun frolics in ...'Subterranean blues'...

I change deconstructed evolved still loved the songs and enjoying today. But not the intensity some songs sound rightly dated. Others songs still fresh inviting. But me not sat listening intently in my own room. My sojourner daily struggle espically during changing seasons as cold returns.

That's true of life in general we move on and retain some values don't stay the same person.

 

Disjointed..lack of social cohesive..bankrupt morally 0,

 Divided country not communicating but next to know reason for each little ghetto to communicate together. We live in a country where we do less together. No need to meet as we are somewhere not interest in each other 

Our rules, the faiths we hold are poles apart no expressing same concerns not renowned for getting job done but time has past. Sad but we can also witness rage against God hasn't helped low moral base just brought.

Detached means not connected. But still alongside each other in many situations.
