Well done Miri, can't wait to see the council responseh though can imagine it! Now I see what the purpose is fir the 'young men of fighting age asylum seekers who are not from any new war zones' landing in the UK are here for. To use as 'protection' to enforce 'lockdowns'. Probably going to be kitted up to look like UN soldiers. Not too far fetched to even liken them to the Maui UN imported 'peace keepers'. Or is that just a stretch too far ??
I've been thinking about that a lot. Too many people are categorizing immigrants as foreign, to be feared or blamed. I've lived in foreign countries my whole life, they're just people, as easily propagandized or incentivised as anyone else. More so in some ways.
Low level security roles for a couple of years, taking people's shit in supermarkets to go home and care for their loved ones as best they can. After following the gov't and incentivised rules for a few years trying to integrate they realize a lot of locals don't like them. Because they follow the rules they build up their security resume and eventually make emergency response constable. Shit kicks off and they're scared or angry like everyone else and behave accordingly, follow the trained behaviour/rules.
Those that forget the past are doomed to relive it, many never even heard it the first time around.
Very well done Miri. Take these arseholes to task. You write very well and cover all the salient points. Give them more than heck. They need to all lose their jobs. This is despicable.
Yes I forgot to say, Miri, thank you for your words that say just what I've been thinking far better than I ever could. I saw a BBC article appear on social media very shortly after one of the incidents. Barely a paragraph in, it was 'what we really need is fast tracking the Online Harms Bill and stepping up digital surveillance'. They really couldn't make it more obvious if they tried. Let's hope the Council has the decorum to send a well considered reply in good faith!
I agree many are not entirely naïve of the system they are exploiting, just that they're being human and responding to incentives. Same as some generations of Brits who free-rode the welfare system and taxes of others. It's the people that set the incentives I blame, which is the criminal governments of the world.
I don't know whether the Council notice was written by senior officers or elected members but I hope both cllrs and management seriously reflect on what you've written - as opposed to hubristically treating it as a slight and dismissing it. Kirklees Council - please read this letter very carefully and take something from it. I'm a Kirklees resident and I dearly hope that Council management and elected leaders will use their position of influence and step into a genuine leadership role. Noone can be oblivious to the huge shifts taking place in the world (I'm talking at a much deeper level than the latest problem-reaction-solution distraction) and it's surely the role for our leaders to humbly educate themselves in order to make good decisions in the interests of the local people. I've seen the way that the Council has fallen into line without hesitation to follow the dictates of central government - notably since 2020. Well here's a thought - what about Kirklees Council forms a view on the Big Picture dangers we currently face and envisions what it can do to put Kirklees people in the best possible position to withstand what's coming. It's called vision - strategy - prioritisation. Like we REALLY mean it. I truly hope that senior people in the Council have been having these conversations already - but if not and you're not sure where to start - talk to us, the people. Talk to us the people like you really mean it.
Thank you, Sylvie. The warning was signed by four specific ward councillors, one of them a councillor for Crosland Moor where I live, so I understand that he - as my specific elected representative - is legally obliged to reply. I see that today this man is Retweeting calls from senior lawyers for social media to be shut down over "the riots", thereby confirming exactly what I said in the letter about why these riots have been manufactured and exaggerated.
The letter has also gone to the CEO of the council, Steve Mawson, and various other council staff, as well as the local paper.
You are absolutely right in what you say about the council and I very much hope they take heed of your advice.
They're sorry. They made a mistake. They really meant that everyone should stay home huddled together because the first case of the long thought extinct pre-Cro-magnon polio bird flu was "diagnosed" in a baby calf 250 miles to the north. Remember, they've been warning about this resurgence for many years.
Outstanding work, Miri, holding their feet to the fire like no one else does! Maybe one day, literally 😁
My friend, Monica, in LA is a big fan of yours and would love to have you as a guest on her show. Here's one of her recent shows featuring your insights (a Twitter link and a YT one if you'd rather.) If you're interested, just send her a tweet or reply to me here.
Am sitting in the Ridings having a cuppa and have just been informed by a friendly old lass that the idiots in the HM police that force are expecting riots in Wakefield over the weekend - she has family members in the force .
The same force beat the shit out of the miners going about their legal peaceful protests at Orgreave.
Maybe they want less people and more actors there to film their play.
Bolshy type revolution required . Excellent article as usual Miri.
Dear Miri, thankyou for liking my post ,I am worried though (well not really) by the use of my full name . I thought I had posted under a pseudonym.
There are not many of me about . I obviously haven't a clue when it comes to t' tinter web so when you have time please could you , or some other kind soul, put me right. Thanks ever so much .
Excellent letter, in the tradition of pointing out loudly and publicly that the Emperor is naked (and lying his nuts off).

Excellent stuff Miri! I look forward to the council's response, although if past experience is anything to go by, it may be a long time coming.

That's true. And neither Ngubu or Mohammed are to blame. They're just following incentives and trusting the government that offers them.

Tremendous letter. I wonder if you will get a semi-literate reply?
Yes!

Thank you, Heartland, much appreciated!
A deserved compliment imho. You punch way above your weight sister.
Hard enough to make, even a 2024, Olympian opponent pause for thought. Great letter, exactly what needed to be said. [fist bump emoji]
Haha, thank you, Leo!
