I believe that the transition from life to death where humanly possible should be respectful, free of pain and worry and to use an often used word “humane”. Although,along with everyone else I do feel that humanity is not always kind

This resurrected Bill from last year did not achieve this respectful transition and thankfully has been defeated after having been given a serious drilling down last year by the House of Lords.

It does concern me that those who pushed the bill were hell bent on getting the “legislation” in place no matter what the cost.

To me the cost of  the ill thought out bill would have been  the deaths of people who may have not had the choice that  they thought they were having,or perhaps we’re in no position to make a choice at all.

I agree wholeheartedly that there needs to be a recognition that “being put to sleep” is not just for very sick animals ,but for everyone to sleep soundly ,we need to be confident that it is not a bill of convenience.Every case is unique,can the Law or indeed Politicians  deal with that?

This is very much a David versus Goliath story involving rare wildlife  originally from Madagascar ending up in Bangladesh eventually being  rescued from the Wildlife Trade  and placed in a Bangladeshi Safari Park.

Then in 2025  with the help of a security guard,the lemurs were  again stolen and transported and traded in India,finally ending up in the Private Zoo Collection of Mukesh Ambani one of Asia’s richest  men and a close friend of The Indian Prime Minister Modi.

The zoo called Vantara is a philanthropic project by the Ambani family,but the fact  remains that the animals who were featured on the zoo’s social media are likely to be the stolen Lemurs.

Bangladesh has asked Interpol to get involved and have said that they can identify the animals by their D.N.A.

Ventura zoo has come under scrutiny from organisations concerned with animal trafficking in both Europe and further afield, however the Zoo has  firmly denied  any such involvement.

Apparently Mr Burnham and his media crew,

Have a serious mission they want to do,

They want to help the youth and stop the rot,

Let all of the youth have opportunities they got,

Unfortunately the plan isn’t very clear,

And it might in fact cost us all dear,

You see they want us to work until we’re seventy,

At the same time telling us the coffers are empty,

More tax you’ll have to pay,

And no one must neigh say,

Youth is wonderful and they want to learn

That’s why they never wanted to complete a

school term,

You see in days of old they could work with

others,

They were all close and felt like brothers,

Now no one gives a dam it’s what they see on the

media,

So they either Google or look at  Wikapedia,

Often they get the wrong end of the stick,

And are told ” good grief you’re really thick,”

A lowly job is all you’re good for,

Now even those jobs  are scarce and becoming

folklore,

It needs more than a Politician’s hot air,

And devolving tax to a Mayoral lair,

Creating another layer of Royalty,

With expanding layers of Government inevitably

There is no plan and businesses can’t compete,

If their only option is to employ a NEET.

It seems that the  Monday night meet at the “H” Café in Oxfordshire may go the same way as the  Friday meet at the Ace Café in London , due to safety concerns and unsociable behaviour by “a few Herbert’s” who will spoil for everyone the chance to meet up at an iconic venue which has been going for forty years

It seems an impossible situation as most riders enjoy themselves responsibly and welcome the chance to sit and chew the cud with fellow like minded enthusiasts .The Police are sympathetic to them.

There are a minority who rev their engines and attempt to do stunts in the car park and nearby roads.Also they show no regard for speed limits and road safety or indeed anyone who tries to tell them to stop.Some bikes have no insurance and have been seized by the Police

All they are doing is closing doors for everyone.

It’s sad that such a fantastic voluntary organisation  as the RNLI  which has people who dedicate themselves  to saving lives should be sullied by the likes of Social Media mongerers with nothing better to do than promote the cause of isolationist nationalism that when push comes to shove costs lives of innocents as well as being numerically and factually incredibly misguided.

Let’s get back to basics , the RNLI will Rescue anyone who is in trouble at sea. 95% of these illegal migrants boats are dealt with by border control.The 5% that the RNLI deal with are genuine rescues that without the RNLI intervention would mean people would drown at sea..

The fact that the Port of Portsmouth and the Port of Southampton refused permission to the RNLI to disembark those people who had been rescued is despicable, eventually they were given permission to land at Eastney ,where anti-migrant protesters gathered and blocked access roads and damaged Police vehicles.

Presumably Social Media enabled this protest and indeed it was shameful how they gathered so quickly to target those rescued in such an aggressive manner Who leaked that the migrants would be landing at Eastney? Just a thought.

Places and names have been changed to protect the Cornish Parking Pixie. In need of retail sustenance and a visit to a real bank in order  to exchange £5notes for £2 coins for the washing machine.

We ended up in a multi-storey car park, looking for an option to pay the parking charge While driving around we saw two ordinary men in high-viz and stopped to ask how to pay?

In strange voices,they said “Don’t” and then they both laughed!.

“But, how do we pay? We don’t want a fine!” we smiled and joined in their hilarity.

“You won’t get one!”They both started rolling on the floor laughing louder and louder.

My husband was getting upset,and just like he won’t ask for directions so I have to,I said

“Why is that?”

They both shouted “The cameras aren’t working!”

“Forget all that nonsense about apps,park anywhere you like! It’s free!” They picked themselves up off the floor and headed on their way.As I looked at their bright yellow jackets,on the back it read “Cornish Pixie”.

Now sitting in the comfort of my arm chair,I hope they were honest pixies.
