With Leahpar secured with his seat belt fastened, they drove the few miles to the pleasantly situated Carvery.  Although Leahpar had been living in the locality for several decades, this was probably the first and only time he had had the need and opportunity of using this facility. They parked the car and, with Leahpar being given a bit of elbo support, they slowly made their way into the Carvery.  They went in and kept going for about 10 metres, before turning left and travelling for another 5 metres, and then turned to their right, where some of the guest were already seated.  As Leahpar looked around, he noticeably took in and responded to the display of people, balloons, party hats, etc. Leahpar, as the colloquialism goes, was well pleased.  During the few hours duration of the party, he would repeatedly commented on how nice it was to see people of different ethnic backgrounds together.  And he would be smiling alot and actively demonstrating signs of

Where he and all the family and friends attending, could spend the time enjoying the occasion and making merry. And so it was that 'the organising committee' made arrangements for the party to be held as a nice and pleasantly situated Carvery. One which was not many miles away from Leahpar's care home.  Having prepped Leahpar that they would be having the BP for him, the 'OC', in the preceding days, went about procuring the balloons and decorations to deck the allocated section of the Carvery, and ordered the meals for the invited guests.  Come the day of Leahpar's Birthday Party, the 'OC' made their way to the Carvery put up the decorations and make the final arrangements. Having accomplished that task, they made their way to Leahpar's residence. He was already dressed for the occasion, as the staff knew about the BP.  They greeted Leahpar, who displayed some joy, tinted with a bit of surprise, at seeming them.  How are

Many people in the host countries do not see immigrants, migrants and refugees, en mass, as actual or potential assets to their countries.  As people who are 'going to help to improve the conditions of their countries, make it more harmonious, more stable and secure.  Immigrants, migrants, refugees, en masse, probably from the proverbial 'time immoral.  Are perceived by their hosts, especially if they are reluctant hosts, as presenting different degrees and kinds of threats to them. A view which is not without some merits, since it is logical that the challenge of having to deal with the unplanned.   And even the planned mass movement of people from diverse backgrounds and visions of the future.   Will invariably place the host countries under the threat, if not actual instability and insecurity.  This is probably an unavoidable situation. With the newcomers, or most of them, not being able, at least initially, to contribute toward the host countr

Of course, in the 'age of My country First', citing the need to work with other nations to achieve and maintain the 'best interest of the collectivity or union.' No longer, it seems, carries the weight it should still command. However, neither does Mrs May's position truly reflects  'the will of the British people per se.' It is a spurious 'democracy' which would argue that, you simply disregard the views and 'will' of 48 per cent of the British people.   And forge ahead with excising the United Kingdom from the European Union and most of Europe.  That might represents 'democracy' for the 52 per cent who voted to leave the EU, but it represents compulsion and coercion for the 48 per cent who wanted to remain.   When 'democracy' and/or the apparently sanctified 'Will of People', results in a situation where, by a small margin.   Just over 50 per cent of the voting electorate vote in favour o

It is the duty of governments, acting as the guardian and protector of the nation's best interests.   To not allow itself to embark upon the unobtainable or destructive desire of the electorate.   Even when it is a small majority of the electorate supporting  what is being asked for.  If there are times when the perceived or expressed ' democratic will of the people' , when considered in the light of all its implications, are deemed not to be in the  best interests of the nation as a whole .  Then, does it becomes the duty of government to review the situation and offer an alternative option. And one which, on balance, is more consistent with the best interests of the nation? It is criminally negligent of any government, especially 'a democratic one', to substitute the 'best interests of the nation', with 'the will of the people.'  To make 'the will of the people ', as ascertain at a particular moment in time and space&

'Who, in their more contemplative and logical state, would find anything wrong with the statement.  Let no woman, man or child, argue that God, or the Gods, are more powerful than Man, unless the God/s of whom they speak, is no other than the selfsame Man, who has the power to destroy or save the Man-made world.' To the logical mind, that simply does not and would not add up. If we equate the love of a human for his/her children, and their responsibility to care for and protect the fruits of a woman's womb, as it were.  Fruits which she has spent up to 9 months nurturing and bringing to fruition. If we equate that process with the man-professed love of the gods, to protect the human fruits of their man-proclaimed creation.  Then, we cannot but be astounded that these gods simply abandoned us humans.  Who are having to contend with the kind of terrible catastrophe, which the people of Palu and other places are having to endure.  No amou

And so we have a situation where the feared and actual socio-impact of the newcomers.  Is fed into the political life of the host country, with all of its undesirable appeal to 'nationalism', and, yes, fascism. The same socio-economic, cultural and political factors which are driving parts of the poor and the economically challenged populations.   To see refuge and 'prosperity' in the more affluent countries of Europe and North America.  Are, to a lesser extent, also factors which are at work in these host countries. They, also, have their 'haves and their havesnot' sections of their populations.  They, also, have their their political agitators, their gang leaders, their corrupt and venal politicians and businessmen.   Who are always on the lookout to take hold of new opportunities and exploit them to acquire and exercise more power and make more money. Considered objectively, which is not the same as looking at the problem or
