A small musical tribute to Simon Harris who at 60 years young passed away on Thursday.
When push comes to shove, the jazz album that I come bak to most often is Chet Baker Sings. It was recorded in 1954 before the effects of the heroin had really kicked in.
One of my favourite tracks from the album is Hoagy Carmichael’s I Get Along Without You Very Well – Simon Harris
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves that I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course I do
But I get along without you very well
I’ve forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name
Or someones laugh that is the same
But I’ve forgotten you just like I should
What a guy
What a fool am I
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
Whats in store
Should I fall once more
No its best that I stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two

Girl who said she was raped by Asian sex gang is charged with perverting course of justice:
A teenager has been charged with perverting the course of justice after claiming she had been targeted by an Asian sex gang in a Cumbria town. The girl, 19, from Barrow-in-Furness, claimed she had been drugged and raped by the gang, sparking a major police investigation that lasted 12 months. On Tuesday, she went on social media and continued the claims, posting pictures of bruises, scratches and burn marks. The girl said she had been put into a car and beaten up because she was in debt for not going to parties for seven weeks because of coronavirus. She said she had been beaten, burned, drugged and trafficked for sex with Pakistani men across northern England. Those claims led to her being arrested for breaching her bail conditions. After a 12-month investigation and following an independent review into the handling of the case, police have revealed the only charges that have been brought are against the teenager. – More …
French globalists: “Oi, England, we’ve brought you more cheap labour.”
English globalists: “Okey dokey, stocks are running low, be right there old chap.”
Nigel Farage exposes Globalist underhandedness on the high seas.
Total cost to us, the taxpayer?
More importantly, what is the total cost to us native Britons?
We were never asked!
And then there is this article, which does nothing to dispel the belief that the Globalists don’t give a fuck that the majority of native Britons don’t want more immigration. Wouldn’t it have been more sensible to move these people to the front of the queue and vet them properly?
No of course not, that’s not what globalism is about is it!
So now, the main reason for this post. Replacement migration is THE globalist agenda, that much is obvious and we were never asked if it was OK to totally change what we inherited. They’ll do all of that for foreign peoples, which as we know, is solely for the labour that they provide, but what about our people? What about those who we’re born and bred here? What about Richard? He is less of a priority than some immigrant that has done fuck all for this country who will get it all. We didn’t ask for that, and neither did Richard.
Lots of fluff about the symptoms but no recognition of the cause.

Dear Catherine
Thank you for your letter of 5 May 2020 requesting a revised response to e-petition 300239 calling on the Government to release the Home Office’s Grooming Gang Review in full.
The petition rightly reflects strong public concern about the abhorrent issue of group-based child sexual exploitation, and members of the public who signed the petition are right to expect a clear response. My officials have been working through the implications of publishing the findings of our work in this area. As set out in our initial response to the petition, it contains information that is operationally sensitive to specific criminal cases, as well as personal information relating to the victims of these devastating crimes. I strongly believe, however, that insights gained through this work are of wider value, particularly to agencies tasked with safeguarding vulnerable children, so that they can inform both national and local efforts to tackle offending. To that end we will publish the paper on group-based child sexual exploitation this year. The paper will set out our findings and set the direction for future policy and research, whilst remaining sensitive to the need to protect the integrity of law enforcement operations.
I am determined to deliver justice for victims and ensure something like this can never happen again. I am hopeful this revised response addresses your concerns and provides reassurance that we will do all we can to end this horrific crime.

Petition response
Summary quote
Government intends to publish a paper on group-based child sexual exploitation this year, which will set out key findings of the Home Office’s work in this area and implications for policy.
Main body
Child sexual exploitation perpetrated by groups is a truly horrendous crime
that shatters the lives of victims and their families. We have heard of truly
shocking cases of vulnerable children being preyed upon by ruthless predators and failed by the state and those whose job it was to protect them.
These unthinkable crimes have had devastating impacts on towns and communities – leaving lasting scars that go beyond the direct victims, particularly where it has gone on for years.
This must never be allowed to happen again. This Government has made it our mission to protect the most vulnerable in our society, stamp out all forms of child sexual abuse offending, and support victims and survivors to rebuild their lives.
The Government will publish a paper into group-based child sexual exploitation in order to better understand the characteristics of group-based offending and help deliver justice for victims.
The paper, to be published later this year, will outline the insights gained from this work and focus on how agencies can learn lessons from the past to tackle group-based offending and safeguard vulnerable children.
The Home Office will set up an External Reference Group of experts to review
the research before its publication.
The work was commissioned by the previous Home Secretary to better understand the scale and nature of group-based child sexual exploitation, including the characteristics of offenders, victims and the context in which these crimes are committed.
Last September, the Government announced an additional £30 million to take
down the worst offenders and safeguard victims.
The Home Office will shortly publish the first of its kind cross-government Child Sexual Abuse Strategy to improve the UK’s response to tackling this abhorrent crime.
It will set out how we will work across all agencies – including government, law enforcement, safeguarding and industry – to stop offenders in their tracks, and to help victims and survivors rebuild their lives. – Source
You’d better get your finger out Patel because it’s still going on.
UPDATE:
There is an update in the comments to this video by the uploader:
Update: This poor girl, 19, has now been charged with several counts of “perverting the course of justice”. We shall wait for more information, and if necessary this video will be pulled pending more concrete data on this development.
[VERSE 1]
Hey there Europa
What’s it like living in cities
Filled with muslims and non-whites
And other apes who make life shitty
How is that?
Is it worth acting like a doormat
Aristocrat?
[VERSE 2]
Hey there Europa
You should worry ’bout the migrants
From now on it’s up to you
And you must make it through this crisis
Yes, it’s you
You’re the ones who must defend the land
Of your own clan
[Chorus]
Oh, Europe for Europeans
Oh, Europe is all we have
Oh, Europe for Europeans
Oh, Europe is all we have
Europe is all we have
[VERSE 3]
Hey there Europa
I know times are getting hard
But if you get your shit together
One day you and I could be among the stars
We’ll have the life we knew we could
It’s understood
[VERSE 4]
Hey there Europa
There’s so much for me to say to you
If whites don’t take back power
Then there’s only one thing left for us to do
We’ll erupt in chaos and start anew
I know it’s true
[Chorus]
Oh, Europe for Europeans
Oh, Europe is all we have
Oh, Europe for Europeans
Oh, Europe is all we have
[BRIDGE]
We’ve all forgotten who we are
We’re conquerers with many scars
It’s in our blood to battle for our kind
The populus is waking up
But not before they’ve been blown up
It’s hard for me to understand your mind
Europa, I can promise you
That by the time that this is through
That you will never ever be the same
Guess who’s the blame?
[VERSE 5]
Hey there Europa
Please hold on just a bit longer
Every day I learn so much about your past and I grow fonder
Yes, I do
We’ll soon make history for you
You’ll know it’s all because of you
Hey there Europa, here’s to you
This one’s for you
[Chorus]
Oh, Europe for Europeans
Oh, Europe is all we have
Oh, Europe for Europeans
Oh, Europe is all we have
Oh, Europe for Europeans
Oh, Europe is all we have
Oh, Europe for Europeans
Oh, Europe is all we have
Europe is all we have
I think it’s really important to emphasise that it’s not about stopping what they want, it’s about preserving what we have. – Mike Parker

After receiving a “significant” number of complaints, and reviewing the governments reply, the Petitions Committee have instructed the government to revise their response to our petition. A new response is required by 20 May 2020 … waiting! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300239

Dear Priti
I am writing to request a revised Government response to e-petition 300239, calling on the Government to release the Home Office’s Grooming Gang Review in full.
My Committee considered your department’s response to this petition at its meeting on Tuesday 5 May, and agreed that it did not directly address the request made by the petitioner, and therefore did not meet the standard for Government responses that has been agreed with the Leader of the House.
Your department’s response explains the Government’s current work on child sexual abuse, which includes investigating the characteristics of group-based child sexual exploitation, and states that this work will inform the Government’s forthcoming strategy. However, the response fails to respond to the petitioner’s request for this work to be published.
My Committee has already received a significant volume of correspondence complaining about the Government’s response, and I am sure that your department has been receiving similar correspondence directly.
Your department’s response to this petition was also substantially late. A response to this e-petition was requested on 6 March, but not received until 24 April. It has been agreed with the Leader of the House that the Government will respond within 21 days, making your response four weeks late. I fully appreciate that the Government is currently under significant pressure, but it is disappointing to receive a late response that also fails to adequately respond to the petition.
I am therefore writing on behalf of the Committee to request a revised response that directly responds to the request made by the petition. This should clearly state whether the Government will publish its research into the characteristics of group-based child sexual exploitation. If the Government does plan to publish this, your response should set out in what form and when. If the Government does not plan to publish this, your response should explain the reasons for this.
I would be grateful if you could provide a revised response before the House rises for Whitsun, on Wednesday 20 May, given the substantial time that signatories to this petition have already been waiting for the Government response.
I am copying this letter to the Leader of the House, with whom the standards for Government responses and timeframes within which these should be provided have been agreed.
Best wishes,
Catherine McKinnell
