#HeadlineTherapy Government set to defend decision to strip *****’s UK citizenship.

Thank you to Suzanne Leigh and BBC Online News for the Headline

I choose not to continue the media hype, it’s a case currently highlighted and does not need me to further publicize the complainant.

Frankly when the incidents occurred that caused this debacle, the lady concerned was 15 years old, so I cannot see how you can argue that she was capable of making a decision that would mean her Citizenship of the UK would be revoked. So personally I think the Government is trying to defend that which cannot be defended.

However, as the Media (probably the liberal media) has taken hold of this and has made two films about it, with a lot of discussion in newspapers and television about the case. The said young woman now is in a refugee camp in Syria with no nationality as her Bangladeshi parentage does not entitle her to live in Bangladesh either, the Bangladeshi’s have refused her entry to Bangladesh.

She was born in the UK and has up until she left the UK at 15 only ever lived in the UK. Went to school here. So refusing her reentry and encouraging her to go to Bangladesh, stinks of the worst drunken pub rascist saying ” go back to where you came from” to someone who is a second generation Britain , but who is not as white as said rascist.

This was our Government then and it seems our Government now wants to follow through on that line. Which absolutely seems incredible to me and strikes me as desperation for votes from the quiet majority of homespun supremacist’s who crawl out of the woodwork to vote in elections that matter to them. Anything to do with race or the death penalty.

I have no idea what the Security Forces know about this woman and if there are concerns about her motives. The reality is that if she does return to the UK then she should be closely monitored and it must be quite clear to her that if radicalisation is still part of her make up , then that is a criminal offence and will be treated as such. We are not powerless, and we need to be able to deal with that should it occur, using the Criminal Laws of this Country.

What I find unacceptable is the emphasis on her appearance and this hair, makeup and sunglasses idea , it shouldn’t matter what she looks like. She was born in the UK and she is our problem or if the Human Rights Lawyers and Her Media Supporters are right our solution , not anyone else’s.

Yes she may need financial support when she comes back, let’s face it with youth unemployment in the UK as bad as it is , she may have needed that anyway if she stayed. What is everyone so scared of , do we not think we have the resource to deal with her. I actually think if we continue to disown her and leave her in what is the maelstrom of the Middle East that we may turn her completely against any chance of leading a humane life. She was misguided at 15, I’m sure lots of people have made mistakes at 15 , and wouldn’t expect to pay for that mistake for a lifetime. If she has committed international crimes try her, but to continue denying her rights that she was born with , is basically wrong and makes the Government look foolish.

This is an AI generated image which represents the fear of the unknown.

#HeadlineTherapy Group stuck in lift at St Nicholas Cliff, Scarborough

Thanks to Alice Kavanagh of the York Press for the Headline

What a start to the new year, getting stuck in a lift on a cliffside, called St Nicholas Cliff at 10.31am. I wonder if they were off for a beach walk after a lovely Yorkshire full breakfast.

Still it was a happy ending and everyone was safely lowered to a secure stepping out spot by the North Yorkshire Fire Brigade Service, using the lift key and also the power supplied by the Fire Brigade.

Cartoon representation of the Cafe at the top of the lift leads up to from the bottom. The cliffs and the bridge in the background are pure fantasy and don’t exist in Scarborough.

The York Press got into trouble as it printed a picture of a nearby tramway building instead of the said St Nicholas lift that was involved in the incident. So my representation is AI generated and represents the nice cafe at the top of the cliff that the lift mechanism leads up to. It looks more Austrian than Scarborough but I’m sure it would be just as nice.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

#HeadlineTherapy Going out with a bang?Dutch shoppers snap up fireworks before nationwide ban.

Thanks to Sertec Aktan with EBU from Euro News for the headline.

So from 2026 the likelihood is that there will be a ban in individual consumers buying fireworks in the Netherlands, so the Dutch public had a spree before this New Year and the sales of fireworks both pre-ordered and bought on spec, have temporarily boomed. The Law being approved by the Dutch Cabinet in 2026 means they will no longer be able to buy them, hence the last buy hysteria.

The main reason given for the ban is “accidental injuries”, one of the firework buyers said that it was likely because of people being drunk that they had injured themselves. No mention of the effect it has on wildlife and domestic animals

I’m not sure where these people are going to store their stash of fireworks, that is itself a problem to be addressed, but frankly I’m glad that the Dutch general public will not be able to buy fireworks for personal use. I wish they’d introduce it across all Countries, what’s good for the Dutch will be good for everyone.

Used firework casings that look like damp squids.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
