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.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
