Watching this program about Canada in the 1600 & 1700's, there were two companies who ran the Fur Trade. Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Frontntier Company. HBC was run by investors and the NWFC was run by the people who worked in the Fur Trade. Guess who won the trade war. Hmmm you do the research and find out.

By the way I was thinking about the Royal Bloody Mail.

A Peaceful Protest At Cumberland Basin

This is the time when the Criminal Justce Bill gave the permission to the PoLice to control demonstrations. Here you can see the methods they use today and they were practicing the methods on us. I have reason to beleave that the organiser of the parties that time was colluding with the PoLice and always away from the fracas. Wicked memories.... this one brought me...... as the Yoda would say.

I was relaxing at home on the 21st Saturday after Ashton Court when I heard a free party going in Cumberland Basin under the flyover. I went there about 2.30 AM (Sunday) with a few friends, who were 17years to 35 years and I am oldest 36 years old. When we got there, there was a lot of Police. I did not count how many but I could easily see more than 2 dozen or more. Non of us were aware that the party was previously been busted by the Police.
Due to my back problems and after walking a bit in Ashton Court Festival I was tired and my back was painful. So I sat down on a stool that I carry for the purpose, on the grass verge close to the speakers but away from the dancing people. It was generally nice seeing some people I haven’t seen for years and talking to them. Around 5 Am I think the Police brought in a big flood light over where I was sitting. I thought they are trying to intimidate us with flood lights at that time. I saw some Police officers getting rigged up in riot gear and some of them were at the end of the grass verge. They were without shields. I went up to them just to see what was going on. I was playing with a couple of juggling balls and they seemed not threatening.
I heard some one ask “what is going on?” and one of the officers said something like “ nothing we are watching you” and laughed.
I came back and sat on the same spot where I was. Then the police got themselves organised into a line and started trotting towards me, beating the shields and shouting.. There was a Police ‘supervisor’ kind of behind the line shouting orders. The line came up to me almost touching like and stopped. I kept seated.
There was someone I know behind me say “ If you hurt him that will be racist attack” and laughed. That was when I realised that Police are not laughing they were serious.
Then the ‘supervisor’ gave the order to move forward and I heard him say “5 leaders chaps”.
The line parted where I was sitting and proceeded to move towards the dancing crowd, who were like a ring around the sound system. I was not harmed. I turned back towards the line of officers going away from me, with the ‘supervisor’ behind them. I saw someone getting dragged and beaten. Could not see whether it was a girl or a boy. I think he got cuffed and taken away. I have been to few demonstrations but I have not seen such violent attitude at unarmed youngsters who were just enjoying themselves. The party goers were not violent at all except may be some right in the front whom I did not see. If they were organised and violent, the police would have had more serious casualties.
Apart from the person who got dragged, beaten and cuffed. I saw another girl who was on the ground trying to defend herself from beaten by two officers, who looked as if they were enjoying it.
There was anther squad of officers all in black without numbers trying to attack the sound system. They had what looked like black canes like radio aerials. They were viciously beating people around them willy nilly. There were some people who had cameras and they were photographing the action. And I saw one guy who was photographing, got a crack with a cane like baton those officers carried. And they chased him. I think he got away from them. Those officers were more vicious than the ones with the shields. The line officers overran the compound and moved out in their vans, after they got their five leaders they were after, and took away some equipment and damaged some.
I later saw some of the injuries. This girl may be weigh seven or eight stones, carried so many bruises she looked like she got run over by a truck.

Letter To Blair

This is a letter I wrote to then PM Blair the war criminal.

Remember the time when you started becoming interested in politics and became an activist. Looking back you might come across the times of wonder; why don't the Government listen to us.
The political way of most countries is very simple. To become a politician you have to go to demonstration learn a lot of law and become popular guy. Then when the time is right you get elected. So far ok. When you get into the notches of ministerial capacity you have already lost the roots of the people. You get worried about your own safety and depend on lots of “advisors”. Common people cannot get to you without the presence of the minders. Even this letter will be read by someone and the reply will be written by someone else; may be I will be lucky enough to get your signature. You, sir, have lost us. You get elected by us to represent us, sir, not to tell us how to live under the guidance of "think tanks". Let us be you guide and the think tank for a change.
I trusted you and I voted for your party but not any more. You have been neglecting the common people and sucking up to the corporate syndicates and made wrong decisions in most of the issues. It is becoming a two party (with same ideology) system just like the North Americans. It is time to get out of that shell you have around you and start contacting your former friends you had, before the rich society chose you to be the Prime Minster.
Now I am asking you is a very simple deed. Get that loud mouth Bush your partner in “crime” to ratify the Kyoto Protocol so that we can leave a better earth for our children to walk on. The rest will follow like sheep I reckon. Thank you for your time and patience.

Blackout Et Al

This is what happened to me in 2005. I still have the same problem but I am more prepared now than those days. I feel the pain getting worse and I go and lie down. I do not like to go out any more as I am afraid of this happening to me. Something I do not have control on....hmmmm....

11:33 26-02-2005
I nearly fell down in the bath today while I was getting off it. I think it was a mini blackout. I did not get injured but it was close. I wonder whether the authorities are waiting for an injury to happen before they do something about it. A few days ago I had a similar experience when I was just about to climb downstairs; luckily it was before I started; I just sat down and the blackout passed. But if it happened a moment later I would of tumble downstairs and it would of caused a bad injury. I am writing these on someone's suggestion.

Pensions Debate in 2004?

This is what I wrote when I went to the Pensions Debate in Bristol, I think in 2004, with Hon Mr Blunkett.

I was one of the participants in the Mr Blunkettt’s much talked about Pensions Debate which took place in Bristol last month. There were 40 of us selected from the Citizen’s Panel and other prominent lobbyists from Bristol. The debate was not properly conducted as we were forced to take part in a discussion which was guided by the adjudicators who were present. For example; we were given 4 options to debate on, in 20 minutes, how to devise a way of tackling the problem of pensions in 15 years time. The options given to us were:
1) Future pensioners would be poorer than today, when their income is compared to the income of those in work
2) Taxes and/or NI contributions would have to rise to provide money to the pensioners.
3) Average retirement age would have to rise.
4) People would have to pay more into a pension or other long term savings for retirement.
And we had to give 20 points in all to any or all of those options. Yes we did under pressure and I did not like the option 1 and gave it a 0.. What about other options EG. Cut the defence budget? Or cut the MP's salaries ha ha…. never I say? Well there are lots of others which we were not allowed to debate on.
I was very thrilled when I was asked to come to this debate thinking at last the government is trying to involve us in their bid to govern this country. Well I and few others left the building thinking that this is a controlled debate to get us all talking and agreeing with what the ministers want to do in the first place. I hope I will not live that long as to get a pension or I win the lottery and bugger the pension.
