Trapping a passenger on bus IS anti-Semitic abuse , disgraceful and criminal.

A Jewish man was trapped on a London bus for more than an hour after the driver refused to give him back his bank card, which had fallen behind a partition which was behind the payment counter where the driver sits.

You see its Friday try hard to capture something of main weeks events Has no longer observe daily the news , often grasp main 15 minutes headlines always looking at 4 different channels
All liars to varying degrees. Mainly the two main British channels BBC 1 and ITV 3. 
Who have main coverage nationally.

The person who experienced this, something few reports have identified although lot of witnesses and videos including the London transport company, David says he is Black. was particularly shocked that the abuse came from a Black driver: “I was shocked to see another Black man hate me because I’m Jewish. It hurt me deeply.”

 “Since I was young, people discriminate against me for being Jewish… it has followed me my whole life,” he said. “I didn’t choose to be Jewish – I was born like this.”

There in many other cases is the jest the full nature of present journalism and News worthy topics in UK . They do not , they do not want to explain identify or publish what is happening. Present UK is dangerous place for many from various coulers who are born here republic or royal Christian or Jewish. We don't fit the narratives , our stories do not matter.

 Trapping a passenger on the bus subjecting any, lets get this clear any, but in this case it is, lets be really clear it IS anti-Semitic abuse. Not  disgraceful conduct; it is  criminal. All of us should be Angry, Shocked, saddened plus dismayed . Police wont, seldom do, investigate these matters wont take action.

Present UK is dangerous place for many 
We don't fit the narratives, our stories do not matter.

Learning.

Love to sit watching tides then always find places where this is possible here one of my favourites. Valletta. This city got so much history and culture faith and sunshine. Maybe best place in the world for myself. When do travel try hard to adjust several things...explore where locals go to spend time wait for this, especially eat.

Attempt learning something of local language.
Work to understand customs. Engage with cultural norms. Example when Pope visited Malta enjoyed the occasion joined the crowds.
When Malta ascended to the EU warned in Pleasant discussions it may bring lot of changes.
All we seek of those legally staying in the UK.

How is God interacting with the place you are at present?

There is, as the poet claim a certain sadness in water coming across peddles and shingles as tide changes. Coming in then going hypnotic like outwards. It's sound very familiar  with ...it's beautiful. Really that simple. Everyday creative sound.       Then captured with moon shining brilliant across the harbour. Sometimes late at night just had walk to cliff face to witness 

But now I only hear

Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,

Retreating, to the breath

Of the night-wind, 

There's been some thought in above poet ramble from mid 18th century. This talks about hints at the Sea of faith and time when we are retreating. There is a sadness in the sound of melancholy, wishing it was different. Tide not coming on . revival not taking place. Congregation ate struggling.

So need to ask face, wrestle with, workout, tough deep questions.

Here is one such question.

It's beautiful ...leave you to ponder anew at this question.

How is God interacting with the place you are at present?

IF YOUR RE-EVALUTING OR RE-THINKING....KEEP YOUR FAITH.

 We`ve changed and the events of 18th September 1976 happened where recorded also documented.

Then my journey began like when you pass your driving test, later that you start to drive. No longer use that expression ;-Biting point. No longer where you are. Passed the test, now you spend your LIFE driving and its beautiful experience every time. Never forget how gifted it is to drive. The journey embarked upon was following Jesus. It was a blind faith moment when ,heard God speak to myself, accepted his claims on myself committed to these creeds, beliefs, ethics.

Until about 15 years ago those leaving faith personal knew where few, not bothered . But saw something emerging and emerged into exploring what that looked like. How it was being experienced by others.

Deconstruction has become a Difficult and divisive issue among Christian community, despite what others suggest not really outrage, As l listen to the journeys other claimed before leaving the faith. It suggest a place of self serving and retailer choice Christianity. As opposed to `sacrificial serving others` primary faith journey.

Retailer choice Christianity;- Kevin explains here. It like you choose hymns you wish, passages of scripture you'll follow, places only you will go positive often educated white class people , Vegans and the WOKE, these go into your basket no longer shop with others and to quote Neil Sedaka …your world becomes smaller everyday. 

We in the `Tabloid Gospel approach` practiced always sought to creating a place of sanctity for others. Being in frontier situations often meeting people whose sojourners accounted many varied matrix's of faith ideals.

They say;- process of re-evaluating and rethinking your long held faith beliefs, often resulting in a new set of worldviews that differ from your faith upbringing. No l found early desert fathers, first century believers, hermitage monks have always been relevant.

But those serving daily in the Church especially in frontlines of culture society and community have strong faiths resulted from following Jesus in these tough environments. Found if your faith is tested daily, not accepted easily from those around you, you have recognition of all the world views plus your upbringing as it relevance and resilience is tested often.

  Some of the Nomadic community seldom indeed not …`observed any understanding frontiers or working class culture`.. .My journeys not been typical but never rejected its roots nor those who got me to the place of choosing Jesus.

The Church has a system error in who we recruit,

The best advice ever been responsible for directing solely based on my own practice is that 

"young people need a good listening too".

Contrasting that with preachers in the Church is all about . They speak at the congregation. At them lack of with them. Each Sunday that are spoken too.

It's not true that its worship, 'worship is what happens after that meeting on a Sunday' not the period on a Sunday. It's very linear lack of participation, involvement, no space for challenge and questioning. Won't further contrast look at the ministry of Jesus the Lord, who followers of ,Jesus Christ claim to follow.

He was an active listener'. He communicated to others especially outcast.  Asked questions 'what do you want me to do'? Directed clearly Follow me.Love in this way. You have heard it said ..but l tell you this.

The Church has a system error in who we recruit, They talk at people, sternly often. Why do  we honour them, allow them to lecture not serve. Don't listen enough and engage mostly with people of privilege and power.

Where are the John smiths. Modern prophets the listener's, the people who worked the city markets and gathering places. Where are they?

Kevin.

 Kevin not just "home alone' but boxed reduced in the sale, and back on the shelves.

Penalise.

This is what we are witnessing, once again, anything to do with Israel becoming conflated with all Jewish people. follows that therefore, when `Gaza parliament member` elected in Racist Alum Rock...Just pause explore that comment again. The title and the insult. The evilness from Islamic guest in Christian country who gave him. A known terrorist..refuge.

"Your the first Gorra seen in two weeks.".

Alum Rock, part of Birmingham.What the restaurant owner who made comment to myself,didn't know is those you thought were Asian continued to spoke Urdu towards,well chump actually mid Europeans (dark in couler) who targeted Asian shops keepers to rob...But 'heigh-ho` lets not worry. I mean what would a Gorra know that would be of interest to you?

Onwards penalise Maccabi Tel Aviv, committed hard working football supporters. Football known for uniting people world wide, (travelling fans). Identified your actions quite rightly as an act of antisemitism. Secondly, this is the more substantial point, why is British society normalising what Palestine's Hamas and its supporters did October 7th few years ago?

Attempting to get Israeli singers banned from Eurovision song contest, stretching to food items and stores like Co-op banned Israeli products. Even foolishly tried to no longer use Israel technical equipment.

What we are witnessing is desire to remove a nation and it's influence from all parts of LiFE . Attacking in all sorts of ways a section of people based solely on identity. Coming largely from one area of Humanity.

legacy !

 “Even if there were no heaven and there were no hell, would you still follow Jesus? Would you follow him for the life, joy and fulfilment he gives you right now?”
― Tony Campolo.

Throughout this life i live and kinda feel sometimes i am failing, living in tough northern coastal community is hard.  feel always should try be a  example of Gods kindness, rewire others into understanding his authenticity. Recognise his evidence in Nature around us.

Which is very evident in Buzzards, sparrow hawks, seals in the coastal waters.

Like others to remember myself for my commitment, to truth of gods words, encouragement to wrestle this stuff through, My theology was always `make sense of God in your way but try some of this good music and the issue inferred in this message from films, TV comics, music songs. 

Remember who it was with , mostly in my LIFE  (with often) more often with those on the edges of society, outcast because of poverty.

That always had engagement , conversations, time to listen. 

That Kevin explored in corner street conversations real issues.

That l identified Hope.

SOMEHOW talks, residentials, trips away, youth settings we created had a message, Hope perhaps with the empowerment plus participatory approaches others gained sense of their own worth, value and grew in self esteem.

Just perhaps my memory will live on in the hearts of those got to see my work, it would have to be due to the itinerant ministry those who knew me best.

Detached work and street corner settings mean `then as now`, sowing seeds can be hard work. Others gathered results from this hard frontier environments. Progress wasn't something l could often witness, certainly not immediately.

So I ask Kevin, where others LIFES better , different improved because l came into theirs in some shape, form, presence.

legacy and remembrance.

Crumbling.

Suppose l need to fly the flag for someone. 
Suppose need to fly flag for something.

When time catches up with us , find elders are aligned with youth. Become ignored and forgotten. Like vulnerable they are displaced. Community cohesion cannot take place. Society not gathering as we used to and community not being built . More and more due to many factors we are living in small cells.

Factors been identified e.g. COVID hit us all. 'Stay at home', became a mantra followed by many. Now some stay with this ruling. Large numbers of young become fearful. Large numbers elders family and friends lost LIFES.

Remain fearful.

Social media allows some to stay home.

We can get gourmet meals delivered.

Drinking Alcohol cheaper at home

then the pub . 

We don't have to socialize.

Talk to others without leaving even our rooms.

Rise of illnesses like Asperger and spectrum of mental health are chosen to create camouflage where weak hide.

Benefits which improved with classified mental health issues also detach others further.

We are crumbling as individuals, we are not forming community. But it's socially behavior which governed and formed the condition we are experiencing.

Inspires.

 Creation spirit flows in each of us. Because we are all made in the image of our father God. He just loves sending Sparrow hawk to flutter above us with eyes that are 75% stronger better then ours. Butterflies whose colouring is pure dynamite on brightest colouring book scales.

Art work inspires catches us gazing then draws us inward. Trying to grasp the Artists mind and scope. Feeling uncomfortable and slightly inadequacy as internally then ponder the skills displayed.

Like l've been doing as hermitage journey home. After the monthly short break become little part of own spiritual sojourner.

Spooky.

l know not most sociable being.

Don't go clubbing.

Don't do pubs.

Not a laugh out loud.

Grumpy..

Even get it that..

I don't fit.....

Party no not me.

So Asking!

Do we need Halloween it's tacky and cheap. Well it's American. If you must well if you really must, cannot keep it till the eve of all 'Saint's evening'. Or is that all hollows Day ?

Either way see Kevin's the only grown up in the room, do we have to endure this pagan day? Not seeing evil everywhere not engaging in the Spiritual warfare arguements. Yes that theology exist. But l'm away at hotel even staff wearing costumes.

It feels childish also factually pre-mature.
 

Reality.

 There is in UK from some very misinformed (in political elite). From ugly narrative mainly Asian in origin .a moral posturing accompanied with blind virtue signalling. Sadly truth is ignoring the real concerns staring them often in the face.

Lead all comments with “human rights”, “peaceful world” yet defend people who openly spread hate, attack Jews country of Israel. Attack any who appear to understand Jewish community. Like being back at University in Hull talk about oppression and equality, but often against Christian attitude and antisemitism in what they preached.

Always it was about their side pretending hold moral equivalence ,where committed to Anti oppressive practice. Labour when elected was only democracy defending those oppressed . Included Gay bi sexual community and only religious group Was Muslim.

They wanted Christian values removed and included removing Israel off the map. Even books they identified all about “human rights.” But we challenged them about absolute hypocrisy. This could (Did for few l knew), result in a person not being seen to be someone they wanted in Community and youth work.

The reality. Many combatting oppression from Christian values..accept Palestine right to homeland. Know Israel is fighting for survival.While 'Hamas', people they support often massacring innocents, burning families alive, abduct children. But ethically blind to clear fact. My colleagues and lecturers at University support the terrorists acts include Irish, Communist ,Antifa, really any who opposed Christian Judeo values .

Let's get this right. Bringing it into the present view but they Should denounce Hamas. Across places of learning further education along with Islamist mosques should denounce violence. They won't because hatred begets hatred and truth doesn’t fit their narrative.

Contrasting.

 Spurn point local to where live is both beautiful and stark. Coulerful and changing . Harsh and yet warm. In visiting you feel energised also it's dangerous. Like the divided society we are living in at present. Cruelty nasty social comments. Untruths are common thread's. Somewhere there is hope and better way of being.
But dark evil cloud is evident.

Creation can be recognising Machines:-skills:-technology

 

It takes something brilliant about machines that takes us to wildest thrilling fantastic amusement rides. Can it not be part of God's plan to celebrate this machine. Like big wheels at funfair, faint crane spinning around, upside down and fast of the ground. Spiritual thrill making us envious excited and bemused.

There also something fearful about the rides many stood watching this ride go on higher...then higher.  Then high. Before dropping it's riders. Shrieks screams, shouts. Laughter from those observing.

Something old fashioned and regular the Ghost train. Suppose it helped me survive my brief encounter into the 21st Century. But fun can be on the agenda as we travel along road we don't often travel.

Guess `go on Guess` what been watching.

 Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine is on the run after he killed the Chinese Emperor's nephew after that coward killed his teacher in cold blood with a gun. He flees to America to escape retaliation, and to search for his half-brother in order to settle down in this new land. However, in his travels in the Wild West, he cannot help but continually run into trouble from desperadoes and other ruffians as they oppress the innocent, while bounty hunters pursue the price on his head. Against this, he has his skill of Kung Fu martial arts, which proves to be devastatingly effective in this gun-dominated land...

You are at the heart of what l write about in a clumsy kinda way trying to let others know its LIFE can be struggle at times its tough. This guy well I absolutely enjoy that. Thank you for comments. 

As teenage kid we didn't get to watch TV nor did we gather as family unit for anything. Guess just two many kidz. But when we occasionally did. Kung Fu was a programme we embraced. It's spiritual oversight wasn't wasted the skills, not narrative of a weekly series.

It was our thing, when we didn't know we had our style or our social grouping. Perhaps it was the rebellion.The main character was John Lennon or Che Gurvera type. Rebel our parents didn't grasp.

There will l don't think ever be any Peace Shalom or enough Love to settle this issue ..until God is seated at the conference table.

 

Saddened to hear there still hatred towards each other, between the Blood Brothers in land known by various names down the ages of man.

They hold hostages. Kill each other invade and threaten death. Visit each other allow death cult values to govern own Humanity. Despite this there is incredible human resilience shining through and Love of family is evident. 

What's not fully grasped is depth of lose each family feels. No one can count or measure that lose. Nor the far reaching effect of this awful war on both tribes. Along destruction further division brought to many others .

There will l don't think ever be any Peace Shalom or enough Love to settle this issue ..until God is seated at the conference table.

Rom will recover and thrive. Let's all hope and pray he knows how many of us around the world prayed for him in various ways. So many thought about him and the Hostages daily, they believed that this War would end. Two years, Rom Breslavsky was completely alone in captivity. They chained him. Starved him. Beat him daily.

19 month's ago our beautiful lad Matthew David departed us.

Not forgotten it's not easier time doesn't heal.

Loved and missed.

Blessing talk

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explains to his followers what kinds of human lives are blessed by God. These words he spoke are known as the Beatitudes 

According to Jesus, God gives his blessing to: the meek – meaning humble people, those who make peace, those who show mercy to others

Jesus also mentioned that people who are persecuted because of their faith will be blessed and find reward in Heaven (Matthew 5:3–11).

The Bible relates how some of the people who came to hear Jesus give sermons feared that he was opposed to the teachings in the Old Testament which people had been following for a long time. However, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explained that he had not come to overturn God’s laws but to make sure they were upheld.

It's all difficult in part and at stages to grasp, take hold of and 'apply to my life' saying this as you ponder anew. But recognise that "these be of this attitudes" ,are not new to yourselves. 

The bits about loving your enemy and all the Kingdom of heaven stuff ...none of the teaching here, which followed intense period of . ministry that was about healing casting out demons.

But importance has to be ..

How vital are these words for building community today ?

What does persecution look like in modern times?

Why are we so short of Peacemakers?

Well we are so commercial and are capitalist 

Very good at killing our Leaders all things that are Alien and foreign to the teachings within the Sermon.

The key to faith growth is relationships. talking sharing maybe reinvent the understandings. But maintain relationships... .  

Problems in nomadic thinking

• So latest deconstruction statements is suggesting that we need to start:- well let's explore:-
• The Smiths sang about a light that never goes out. In a pop song value type of way.  BUT new Nomadic group desire returning to the light within ourselves, 
• one another, that exciting we don't trust gatherings not tribal following But there something mystery about us as individuals 
• The Earth might be the beginning of something truly new. Now let's not confuse faith with walking in Nature and being at peace  

Faith is not some vague rumble through stuff that lacks heritage as direction interesting journey of discovery . every where  you've gone has been because of people, places and stuff your wrestling with. .  It's connections

Only now do l think ... well no got it then.

Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls.

Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget.
Like the stranger that you’ve met, the ragged man in ragged clothes.
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow 

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they’re not listening still
Perhaps they never will.

I remember them playing this song along with vinyl they carried. We would come into smaller rooms in the Church youth club from playing football in the Large game area.

They pretended to be more intelligent yes bit aloofness about them. They fell away from faith they're then claiming.

But the song's about vision and mission to lost and fallen. The outsiders who Vincent reached in his outreach ministry.

Ragged outcast, not invited to the table. But the aloof in the safety of tridal gathering, first refused access to table, went on to reject the 'searcher' along with those he had gathered.

Very similar theme spoken into when watch film..'Babets feast'..another series of narratives about outsiders and detached being invited to the table. 

Blair and peacemaking.....Who freck is anyone kidding.?

President Donald Trump’s  Gaza peace plan offers some interesting proposals on awful situation regarding dead bodies and the tortured hostages. Something disturbing about lack of understanding surrounding issue of War crimes that took hostages and killed children...

Much can be found about issue that's titled` humanitarian aid,` Further glad Turks will lead on reconstruction. However my mind struggles with this concept that `war criminal` former British Prime Minister Tony Blair along with Trump himself, read this slowly.

Read this slowly. They will oversee Gaza reconstruction in what others are calling a  unmistakable colonial framework:  Many outsiders,in sense they are foreign not invested educationally cultural nor spiritual. They are rich on others misfortune,have been (well like much in UK governance), cast as trustees. These faithless bigots, greedy charlatans charged with heading up Palastine authorities. Of cause Palestinian statehood is deferred indefinitely.

LIFE is like these lyrics.....

If l'd never felt the pain.

Never had the Dance

Life is like this 

I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end

The way it all would go

Our lives

Are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss

The dance

Holding you

I held everything

For a moment

I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end

The way it all would go

Our lives

Are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss

The dance

Let's give compassion dignity and share in tears this October the 7th

Killed for being Jewish. Killed for being Israeli killed in ways l still can't process and l'm removed by years and miles. Not related l'm a Christian yet cannot process the hatred exhibited.

In London, Manchester, Birmingham they Muslims made it special day of hate for you and myself. On the anniversary of the Hamas atrocities. They have collectively gathered, they are chanting for racist terrorists committed to genocide against the Jewish folks .

But we seen historically what happens when a middle east crowd gather to make their view know.

They even gathered in Liverpool in awful act of cruelty stupidly and huge ignorance.

As the 

s former Annfield Parish YCW L4

As the former Annfield parish youth community worker for L4 the people of Liverpool should know what grief and betrayal, denial, plus npublic forming wrong view looks like. They should understand they should show compassion,concern and grace. As many like myself offer all our Jewish family's and friends, support prayers and loving hopes.

Because if you are being healed you won't be begging again

So many times in the gospels and the Acts of the new testament whenever there's a healing the right way appears to be senses of empowerment. The talk is whoever. Whoever in my name. Not well the privileged and educated. Not the well spoken and dressed well. But whoever.

That's means you and l are followers of the Lord so we can achieve the same. There equality if your following the Lord! But also something participating in the actions 

Asking "What do you want me to do for you ". Because if you are being healed you won't be begging again, your testimony will be required. This is narrative we are following at Church presently. It's complex difficult to understand.

Healing not everyday in most, really all Church styles l' ve embraced. So when did it get lost. When did it seize to be practiced ? In the great deconstruction debate it got lost, rejected, Yet other gifts have been part of spiritual language and processes.

Reconstructive

People get troubled and confused like when black artist uses country music 'old town road'. Genre could be threatened . Old ladies struggling accepting Johnny cash sang about his horse and his town and his country back in 53. But not in 2025 

Black guy cant sing about his horse his town nor his country. That's not allowed.We all embody something natural we all feel a little broken some of the time.

We are all reconstructive from music to faith to culture.

This Imported theology, however unpalatable it appears is pure hatred.

 Jewish people had been dreading the attack in Manchester on Thursday. they like many of my faith had recognised that the evil among us is Islam we know for several decades.  All of the warnings about the `hate that only begets hatred` was being allowed to fester, warnings continued to be ignored. State for fact Islam is bred to fulfil hatred there are no good followers of this theology, time we accepted this truth however unpalatable it appears.

The journey we’ve been on since 7 October has been one of inevitability, but also intent. On Succot 2023, Hama's launched its brutal, attempted genocide against the Jewish people, murdering, torturing, raping, and kidnapping more than 1,200 innocents. Now, on Yom Kippur 2025, Britain has witnessed its exported version: two Jews mowed down and stabbed to death outside a synagogue in Manchester.

Yet they have put our hard fought working values, onto a alter called
multi culterisum to have them slaughtered.
So this Saturday which for many is the sabbath and the eve of the Christian sabbath what should we do.

Be still and know that l am God.

Be still and know that l am God.

Be still and know that l am God.

Be still and know that l am God.

Now you may be asking how does that work with all this chaos you put out something which appears as good as putting your head in the sand.
But that's the point the loudness is drowning out the people , the sound, the place of reason. So first retreat gather up your thoughts talk them through your conscience. Listen to the voice quietly.
walk then return to a place of stillness.
Eat then return to a place of stillness
return when you had a break from the chaos,
 (Return you must this is not detachment) .

First do this it helped me for long while to quietly say those words above but your capable. Capable of finding a place where there is stillness, but it may be several places in your environment. and it should be for at least 48 hours.

Be still and then you will begin to know. This is coming from someone whose not the quietest soul but lets do this.

Be still and you will know that he is Lord.

when l was growing up we lived together in Peace...But today we can`t.

 British Jews don’t drive cars into civilians or police before getting out to stab them. British Jews don’t blow ourselves up on the London Underground. British Jews don’t detonate ourselves on Central London buses. British Jews don’t strap knives to our wrists and rampage through London’s markets massacring revelers.

British Jews don’t hack British soldiers head’s off on our streets. British Jews don’t drive Jeeps loaded with propane canisters into Glasgow Airport. British Jews don’t stab people at Victoria station while shouting Jewish slogans. British Jews don’t stab multiple people in Forbury Gardens while shouting “God is Great”.

British Jews don’t stab MPs during constituency surgeries. British Jews don’t detonate homemade bombs on tubes .
