Day: 16 April 2018

I was discussing this situation with  colleague earlier today and we were both horrified that the outcome of some of the Brexit work, would have this impact on people that had lived here for several generations.

Its good then that the government and the Prime Minister in particular are planning to address this, but I don’t see a definitive response that stops this occurring at all – at least not yet. There’s couched language that says those who should be here will stay.

Why not all who came over as Windrush immigrants just blanket say they can stay? They’ve been here long enough to say that.

Amber Rudd’s statement that this is appalling should have happened sooner.

I hate how this country has moved to a stance of “anyone not from here, should go away”. The murder of the 14 year old girl by a 16 year old boy, stabbings galore – 35 since the start of the year.

These are all signs of a country that is losing control as far as I can see.

So sad.

I’m not sure that closing all social media accounts is the best way to go, but certainly the scaling back of use is a good thing.

Its most telling that Weatherspoons has cited trolls as the key element, as I can understand that teaching people to be nicer online and even if you disagree with someone, don’t start calling their personal traits out as part of that disagreement.

We can all be nasty when we’re effectively unknown or even anonymous, but most would not if they could and would be traced and worse still, possibly prosecuted.

And remember, some folk have been prosecuted for their online actions.

Play safe, be nice and we can all get along much better with less nonsense.
