Undocumented Immigrants

Immigration figures have not been in the news a lot recently because of coronavirus, and interest in them waxes and wanes, as the issue makes the news such as the recent channel crossings.

Illegal Immigrants Cause Voter Anxieties .....

However from the UK Brexit referendum, through the Turkish threats to let Arabs stream in to Europe, and the forthcoming US Presidential Election and beyond, they will feature .... so although the Coronavirus response has pushed it lower down the political ladder it still cause concerns.

Childhoods End

The news that in the last 3 years alone ....

We Once Had More Innocent Childhoods .....

....  the UK police have investigated over 645 reported rapes, amongst over 5,500 reported sexual assaults in our schools since 2012, is almost not shocking. Its the fact that the police believe this is just the tip of the iceberg that's shocking.

Conspiracy Corner

I was in a bar the other day (no surprise there then), when I heard a conspiracy theory that I had not heard before. I will have to paraphrase it a little, as the gentleman spouting it, was a little verbose and prone to losing the point. 

The Invasion Fleet Coming Soon .....

Basically it was this. We will be invaded by an alien fleet of highly advanced technology within the next 50 - 100 years, and there is a conspiracy of silence to keep us in the dark about it.
 

Conspiracy Of Silence

There is a conspiracy of silence amongst Western political and religious leaders, whenever Muslims go on the rampage in non western countries .... for instance when the mosques whip up a mob, and launch them on to the streets to attack 'crusaders' (aka Christians), nothing is said, no matter how many Christians are killed.

Amongst the fall out of the Charlie Hebdo affair, righteous mobs were launched out of mosques in many countries after Friday prayers, to avenge the honour of their prophet .... by, well, killing, raping, burning and ultimately dying in his name.

In Niger for example, in the second city of Zinder, 'demonstrators' set fire to Christian churches, and raided shops that were run by Christians. They were apparently crying out in the local Hausa language: "Charlie is Satan - let hell engulf those supporting Charlie" ... which is apparently an excuse to burn down churches, and burn out Christians homes and businesses (after looting them of course).

Predictable Reaction From The Religion Of Peace

Similar events happened in Karachi and Lahore in Pakistan and Algiers in Algeria and Khartoum in Sudan .... although a lack of any Christians left after previous such events in the past few decades limited the effects there.

So did anyone protest about the violence visited on the Christians in Niger? No. Not one word from any western politicians, and of course stone cold silence from Muslims in the West .... of course ironically, usually more Muslims are killed in these rampages than non-Muslims, but that doesn't lessen the fact that innocents are killed, simply for being Christians in the lands of Islam.

The double standards employed by everyone in regards to the treatment of Muslims and Christians in the West and the Muslim world would be breathtaking, if it wasn't so predictable for the current brand of western leadership.
