Legal counsel suggests that perhaps the only way

to get the attention of Peter and John Bird of UK’s

homeless street paper called The Big Issue, is to

seek from the courts a legal injunction against their

business and charity. And, then for us to litigate from

there to legally resolve the illegally suspension of me

by The Big Issue because of my blog content that

they politically and socialistically detest. They want
to curtail my freedom of speech against them by

inflicting their arbitrary and capricious suspension

of me from my five year Big Issue pitch at

London's Long Acre outside Cafe Nero.

@@@
During my Day 2 of 8 hours of protesting - from

6:00am to 2:00pm, yesterday at the Big Issue

H.Q. - I saw a whole range of people who were

broken-winged from the drunk, to the discarded

to the disabled and to the depressed. They reflect

not only the social decay and decline of modern

British society, but also the ready exploitation of them

to sell The Big Issue by the avaricious and arrogant ilk

of The Bird Brothers. Indeed, such sharks like Peter

and John Bird thrive and profit off the broken-winged

that are often found among those suffering from

homelessness and marginalization. Without the

homeless, of course, the heartless and condescend-

ing Bird Brothers wouldn’t exist and their present

fat bank accounts would be pretty much thin like

the rest of us, I suspect. Of the 3,000+ vendors

who are badged by The Big Issue outfit, none can

come close to the enormous pay of Peter and John

Bird and some of their minion employees. Volunteer-

ing people also only make The Birds richer and the

more vendors they can recruit the richer they become

at the expense of the street vendors like me. So, The

Big Issue street vendor is, day by day, financially

and economically exploited and screwed by them.

@@@
The trouble with The Bird Brothers is they don’t like
those who aren’t broken-winged, like me, because

they cannot easily silence them like they so often do

with the broken-winged. That's why they finall
suspended me under their catch-all guise of "bring-

ing The Big Issue into disrepute." So much then for

freedom of speech, which The Big Issue publicly

espouses while it won't allow for their vendors like

me to shine a bright and disturbing light on them.

@@@
Little honcho Peter Bird finally showed his Big Issue

face at around mid-day, but he deliberately ignored me

as he walked on by just within a couple of feet from me

all dressed in his patterned-blue, open-neck, dress shirt

and his causal fitted blue jeans. He headed straight to

Starbucks that is next door to The Big Issue head-

quarters, but I never saw him leave after that. No

wonder they also call him “slick and slimey.”

@@@
What I saw of him yesterday showed me that his body

language and physical posture was clearly anti-Uncle

Monty. But who cares? Not me! I think after what I

saw of Peter Bird perhaps indicates we’re now in for

a long haul and a protracted public fight that is just

fine with me. I am a patient man who always bids his

time against those who seek to do me down like The

Bird Brothers. Earlier, I also saw one of their angry-

faced sidekicks Martin, who has been a four-year Big

Issue employee that is shorter than the time I have

been a Big Issue vendor at London's Covent Garden.

The dickhead now heads the so-called vendor services
in place of Paul Joseph who has quit The Big Issue to

attend university. I saw yesterday around 30 other

employees and volunteers arrive at the headquarters

by mostly 10:00am or earlier. I also couldn't help mis-

take Big Issue’s ever morose Steve Farrell Wood and

standoffish Linda Driver. While one of my most favourite

humanbeings is Oli Brown, who was seen in all his usual

warm and friendly glory. Bravo! Sanjev was engaging in

his own way, but the majority of Big Issue staffers just

ignored me and my peaceful public protest. There has

been a concerted conspiracy by the rabid Bird Brothers

to give me the "silent treatment" by ordering staff not

to speak to me. They have also smeared me behind

my back and have accused me of some awful things!
They forget that the "silent treatment" of me is mean-

ingless against the power of the written word. So

powerful is such, that The Bird Brothers only help

themselves to become even more publicly deminish-

ed and disrespected as they most certainly should

be. They give no mercy, so they get no mercy.

@@@
My finest weapon, therefore, is my every written

word I write against them. Sure, I am a low-level

writer although I wish I was gifted to be one of the

world’s greatest writers. But alas, such is not to be -

pity for me. After all, I only taught myself to write

in my older age when I got my first ‘puter some 18

years ago in America. At that time, I didn’t know the

difference between a keyborad and a motherboard.

That’s why the kids at church then called me a

“dumb ass.” They were right! Now years

later, it's all Hi Fives ...
@@@

Surreal-Like Graphic of Uncle Monty

Protesting at The Big Issue H.Q.

@@@
What pleased me the most yesterday was the number

of vendors who voluntarily signed my petition without

me even asking them to do so. Of the 15 or so vendors I

saw, almost 11 did sign when they stopped to chat with

me. One vendor who had signed, however, came back

after he’d been to buy his Big Issue magazines or “books”

claiming that I’d "tricked" him into signing! I immediately

removed his name from my petition drive. I don’t need to

trick anybody into signing and least of all my fellow vendors.

@@@
Another friendly vendor said he’d been told that I had

threatened to “kill John Bird.” I’m not the killing-type nor

do I support the street killings and violent acts of war that

I see all around me thesedays. It seems Graham Walker’s

upcoming story “Dead Bird Walking” has triggered the

false story of “killing John Bird.” Anybody with the

least amount of gumption would know the use of such a

phrase like “Dead Bird Walking” is a figurative or literary

one. Another evil smear that is emanating from The Big

Issue is that I support child pornography! I MOST CER-

TAINLY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY DO NOT! I personally

detest all forms of pornography and anybody who says

otherwise of me is a pathological liar and a smear artist.

@@@

Such then is the out and out dirty campaign by The Big

Issue against me to try to justify their illegal suspension

of me by Peter and John Bird. I was also told yesterday

that John Bird was sick and dying. At age 65, many

folks are at his age. But I have no reason to think or

believe the Big Issue honcho himself - A. John Bird,

M.B.E - is in any way near to dying or being sick.

I'm older than him and feel better now than when

I was 20 years younger despite the fact that I'm

on daily heart medication. I love life, but have

absolutely no fear of dying as an avid and

affirming English Anglican that gives me deep

strength every day of my life no matter what

Peter and John Bird do to try to destroy me

personally. As an old-age pensioner, I shouldn't

even have to be out there protesting against

them. But as a proud Protestant by rearing I

was born to protest, I guess. And that I will

continue to do, until The Bird Brothers come to

their senses and do justice for me or have a change

of heart. It also looks like the peace proposal by my

old friend of 40 years - W. J. Curtis of New Zealand -

has been rejected and made dead on arrival by

Peter & John Bird ... They have so little wisdom or

foresight from what I've seen and heard of them

lately. But what else should we expect?
@@@

Homeless Couple Kindly Visit With Me At My Big

Issue H.Q. Protest. It Was The First I'd Seen of Them.

@@@
What was so tragic about my protest yesterday was

that The Big Issue could have resolved our differences

immediately by simply undoing my open-ended

suspension and inviting me into their headquarters

to buy my usual stock of magazines and then letting

us all get on with our usual daily business. They have,

has I've just stated before, so little wisdom or open

foresight it seems. Instead, they've dug themselves

in deeper and given me the "silent treatment" and

now refuse to budge. So lookout for Day 3 of my

continuing protest that will begin after America’s

Memorial Day weekend that coincides with our UK

Bank Holiday weekend that starts here tomorrow.

The power of protest is to be there ...

@@@

Among my other planned venues of protest include

the Royal Courts of Justice, The Metro/Daily Mail

news complex, Sky TV, and other ideal locations like

The House of Commons, to draw public and media

attention to the vile issue at hand between me and

The Bird Brothers of The Big Issue. The key to

success is always to make things happen and not

to just stand there helplessly or to curl up in a cor-

ner like a defenseless little boy. But above all, fight

with all your might against those who dare to

trample on you in broad daylight or dismiss you

in the darkness of the night. And, always pray!!

Give Me Back My Big Issue Pitch NOW - Day 1. By Uncle Monty.

Day One of My London Big Issue

Public Protest & Petition Drive.

Now Read The Full Story Below:

Give Me Back My Big Issue Pitch NOW!

By Uncle Monty at Day One Protest.

Photos & Graphic By Alex Albion.
:::

::: NEWS FLASH :::

:::

Ironically, on the exact same day that The Big

Issue's Peter Bird illegally suspended me from

my Long Acre pitch, the Honourable Crown Judge

Aidan Marron, Q.C., at London's Blackfriars Crown

Court, imposed sentences at the same time on my

convicted immigrant robbers. I received official

notification of their sentences only this Saturday

morning that pleased me no end. Judge Marron,

who was recently in the national news about his

vexation of the release of criminals due to the mis-

management of cases by the Crown Prosecution

Service (CPS), ordered one of my robbers to be

deported after the completion of the 12 months

prison sentence he imposed on the blackguard.

The crown judge also imposed a 60-day curfew

order with electronic monitoring and 70 hours of

unpaid work on another of my robbers, who acted

in illegal tandem to rob me on Bendy Bus No. 25,

some 2½ years ago, after leaving my Big Issue

pitch. I am quite satisfied with the honourable

judge's sentences, although I am far from satisfied

with Peter & John Bird's total injustice toward me.

Thus, I can clearly see another day coming in

another court of justice regarding them

and pretty soon!

+St. Alban, English Protomartyr, 2010.

:::

Now let me tell you what happened at Day One

of my public protest and petition drive that ended

a few hours later after The Big Issue called the police

on me! Yes, they called the Met Police on me. What?

Never in all my 35 years as a news photographer

has anybody ever called the police on me,

except The Big Issue.

:::
In the meantime, quite a few of my friends and

Big Issue customers are away on their holidays, so

things have been very quiet since Big Issue’s Peter

Bird had the gall to suspend me from my pitch for no

other reason than my critical views and expressions

on my metablog that has, and will continue, to be

critical of The Big Issue gang and its
two brothers Peter and John Bird.
:::

I am caught in the Big Issue's callous Catch 22!!

Such is based on its foul and arbitrary catch-all

rule of any vendor charged with "bringing

disrepute on The Big Issue." It can be used,

and oftentimes is, by The Big Issue without it

being challenged in a court of law. Hopefully,

that is soon to be changed forever.

:::

The "unholy" Big Issue is a law unto itself

and my severe criticism at times against

The Big Issue policies and staffers is a

pain in their rear ends! Such is enough for

vile Peter Bird to then take away without

warning my pitch that I have held without

blemish for 5 years at London's Long Acre

that sits within the parameters of England's

famous Covent Garden.

:::

The Bird Brothers seem to have a big bone to

pick with me all because of my writings in general

- including one of my more provocative stories

entitled "The Sad Case of Killer-Boy Jon

Venables" - that I am told broke the camel's

back for the Bird Brothers to try to get rid

of me. But not so easy pal, I'm afraid.

My blog is, in fact, a private endeavour of

mine and has nothing whatsoever to do with

The Big Issue. Yet, Peter and John Bird seek

to censor my freedom and my rights to free

speech under the law by taking my Big Issue

pitch away without any due process or any

in-house appeal mechanism to appeal against

their lawless actions. They are a law unto

themselves, I repeat, and they have for all too

long gotten away with inflicting and imposing

mean punishments against their vendors for

years without anybody challenging them

publicly or taking them to a court of law.

That is about to change, if they continue to

either ignore or defy my demand to have my

pitch given back to me without further ado.

I state that as a warning, not as a threat!

:::

My personal impressioin of vile Peter Bird is that

of a Trade Union-type factory shop steward more

than a so-called business development manager at

the Big Issue. But above all, he sounds and acts so
parochial and seems to have little concept of the

wide world beyond his little Big Issue nose. If it

wasn’t for his big brother John Bird, I suspect

little Peter would be little more than a small time

British factory hand or a low-level shop steward.

:::

The Big Issue brothers - Peter & John Bird -

think they have a right to censor those like

me who write widely on four blogs/websites

of mine. But they don't and never will despite

their illegal and arbitrary punishment of

me and my protected rights of free speech

under the law. My blog stories and my

constant critical view of all things going on

at The Big Issue will sooner or later go be-

yond my simple criticism to nationwide

news investigation and publicity about

The Bird Brothers. Whatever they

do, they'll not silence me.

:::

Big Issue's Sam Woolock.

:::

Sam Woolock stopped by to find out if I was

selling The Big Issue and to find out if I was a

"debadged" vendor, too, as I sat peacefully across

from my suspended pitch collecting signatures

from friends and customers for my petition drive

demanding my pitch be given back to me. My

pitch has now been commandeered quickly by

new Big Issue vendors. Sam and I talked and

she was most informative in telling me the

purported reasons behind my suspension by

vile Peter Bird with the backing of his paid

henchmen and women who have now been

viciously and maliciously invading my blog by

posting their pro-Bird and pro-Big Issue and

anti-me comments that I am more than happy

for the world outside the small fishbowl of The Big

Issue to read. I believe strongly, after all, in the

right of free speech no matter if such concerted

attacks on me is now deliberately organised against

me by those at the behest of The Bird Brothers.

The rhythm of their words and their false assump-

tions appear to be that of very closed-minded and

horse-blinkered individuals. Indeed, the more they

attack me, the more they help me to make my case

against The Big Issue in court! And, the more it

makes me determined to speak out and to

state my case publicly against such nefarious

folks. I don't have to justify a thing to them

and I never will ... so bye, bye, babies, then.

:::

She, Sam, also raised a number of questions with

me about my blog and especially the story I wrote

called "The Sad Case of Killer-Boy Jon Venables,"

that my Big Issue distractors have now suddenly

seized upon as a reason why The Big Issue should

get rid of me. I have since "re-indexed" my Jon

Venable story to my website at Toronto, Canada.

It is safe there to read openly and is beyond the

organized bashers of the Big Issue mob! They

are trying to intimidate and smear me, but

all they do is to show their true colours and

their wicked motives. I welcome more

feedback from them since it will be even

more helpful for me once Peter Bird must

answer for his vile actions inside a court of law

when he is ultimately sued for £100,000- for

punitive damages and civil defamation.

I cannot wait to see him defend himself!

It should be quite a Big Issue spectacle ...
:::

After Sam Woolock had left, I continued

my public protest and petition drive that

I thought would result in about two dozen

signature for my Day One. In fact, I got

43 signatures by the time I suddenly

saw Big Issue's swaggering Billie with two

uniformed women British police constables

coming right at me. I discovered that where

I was sitting had been made an official Big

Issue pitch, even though in all the five years

at Long Acre such had never been a pitch!

What they'd done was to declare it was an

official pitch in order to remove me from my

public protest and petition drive right next

to my Cafe Nero pitch. Billie was her usual

mouthy-self when I asked her why she had

not told me earlier that I was now sitting in

an "official" pitch. Billie said she didn't tell

me "because I have been told not to speak

to you!!" Then in front of the two constables

she declared I "should not be seen in the West

End, if I was you" due to my blog! How crazy?

I have, of course, previously written about

Billie and her admitted status as a former drug

addict and who has declared she also carries over

95 previous criminal convictions in her name ...

She is an open lesbian, too. She was chuffed to

be walking along side the police as she took glee

in bringing them to me on behalf of The Big Issue:

Among other places I shall hold my public protest

and petition drive will be outside the British House of

Commons, outside of BBC Bush House, and outside

The Big Issue Headquarters at 1-5 Wandsworth Road,

London, SW8, that is situated across from Vauxhall

Station. Hope, perhaps, to see you all there!
:::

JUST ONE LAST QUESTION FOR NOW TO
PETER BIRD: How's that investigation going

that you said you would conduct while I am under

gross suspension by you? Not heard a word yet

about the results of your fabulous investigation?

I anxiously await your FINAL DECISION, I do!!

:::

- Unsolicited Letter In Support

of Me From Zud or South Africa -
"Dearest Monty, I honestly think you should turn

your back on both Mr. Birds. They are no good for you
I honestly do believe. The reputation they want to pre-

serve is down the drain already. Mr. Bird has no shame

and never will. Dearest Monty stand tall as you always

do. I was laughing out loud when one of the Big Issue

supporters said both Mr. Birds had shown "great virtues."

What poppycock! So great are their virtues they've

thrown you away like trash!! No, Dearest one, it is

time for you to turn your back on them. Then, you're

even freer to expose them for all you can in the future.

What both Mr. Birds have done is to make even more

enemies and not more friends. They have now turned

you into a dedicated enemy. Instead of silencing you,

Dearest one, they have made you even more vocal

and critical of them. You don't need them. Dearest

Monty, I shall be back in London before your next trip

to Rio. Please, please, be sure that we get together

again. We can stand in the empty and lonely spot

that was once a joy and is now dead due only to both

Mr. Birds and the Big Bad Issue magazine. I will never

buy another one in London or here in Durban after

what I see the rats have done to you. The two cold

Mr. Birds have also thrown away all of your many

customers out of their big spite against you, Dearest

of the dear. ALL MY LOVING, DEAREST,

DEAREST MONTY, as I cry for you!!!"

My Delayed Moscow & St. Petersburg Stories.

My apologies to my blog readers for my temporary delay in presenting my upcoming stories on my trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Due to the on going situation with The Bird Brothers of The Big Issue, it is imperative that I focus primarily on my public protest and petition drive for the rightful return of my Covent Garden pitch. Hence, I am devoting my time to that for the time being. But please be assured, my Russian stories will go online. Take care ...

Since some nasty folks at The Big Issue have now suddenly raised the question of the title of thebiggerissue.org, let me tell them right here and now that they are most welcome to take me to civil court to state whatever dubious reasons they can find to claim it is "trading" on The Big Issue trade name. It is not! The Big Issue is a commercial and godless entity, while thebiggerissue is a non-profit and non-commercial megablog that claims no business association with The Big Issue nor any claim that it represents such a registered company or charity. No advertising is found and no corporate donations are sought at thebiggerissue.org, unlike The Big Issue.

Suspended By Big Issue's Peter Bird for My Blog Comments & Opinions. By Uncle Monty.

Update: Public Protest To Soon Begin Against

The Vile Decision By Big Issue's Peter Bird.

.

GIVE ME BACK MY PITCH NOW!

.

Suspended By Big Issue's Peter Bird

for My Blog Comments & Opinions.

Who The Hell Is He?

By Uncle Monty.

Photos & Graphics By Alex Albion.

^^^

Peter Bird was all aflutter with his slippery spasm

of words after his arbitrary and capricious decision to

suspend me as a five-year badged Big Issue vendor

because of my blog comments and opinions that

he and his brother John Bird don't like!!

^^^

Less then 12 hours after returning from Russia,

I sat with incredulity at London's Big Issue HQ to

hear the utterly asinine decision of little Peter

Bird, who was full of himself and fully-bloated as

he declared my megablog "was homophobic, racist,

and never with a good word about The Big Issue."

^^^

My "blog crimes," therefore, were tantamount to

bringing "disrepute on The Big Issue," repeated

the brother of John Bird, The Big Issue co-founder

and editor-in-chief of the weekly magazine that

is sold by the homeless in the UK. And for my

"crimes," I was in violation of The Big Issue Code

of Conduct that all vendors sign, so pontificated

silly Peter Bird with his sidekick Martin there to

witness my punishment for writing what I

believe and not what I am told to believe. I

told 58 year-old Peter Bird (PB) that I would

not change my opinions for him or for his

brother or for anybody. What, in fact, PB has

done to me is to slam the Big Issue door in

my face for expressing my rights of free

speech on the internet and elsewhere

around the world.

^^^

I also told PB there was no legal basis for his

insane decision and that whatever he insist-

ed I had done wrong, he needed to put it

in writing to me. Asked if he'd consulted

Big Issue legal counsel about his unlawful

actions against me, cocky Peter Bird

shot back by saying "why should I?"

Asked if his brother John Bird had made

the decision against me, PB neither

answered yes nor no, but simply stated

he was the one who had made the decision

while I was away at the 65th Anniversary

of the Victory Day Parade at Red Square.

In others words, his decision was made behind

my back while I was out of the country. As he

talked non-stop with more torrents at me -

and not to me - I realised what an utter

buffoon Peter Bird really appeared to be.

^^^

Then he wanted me to hand my Big Issue

Badge No. 115 to him, but I refused. So what

did PB do? He walked out of the room and

and grabbed a vendor's badge and read the

small print to me that stated the badge was

"the property of The Big Issue." What a big

deal for such a petty-minded bloke like

Peter Bird!! He wanted to go on and on

talking at me, but I won't suffer fools no

matter what. I simply told him I'd heard

enough! I didn't need a lesson on such

stupidity coming out of PB's

contemptuous Big Issue mouth ...

^^^

As I left The Big Issue H.Q., PB blurred

out again that I was now suspended and

"after an investigation" a final decision

would be made regarding me and The

Big Issue. Wooooooooow!! As if I care

whatever the final decision is ... My

pitch needs to be available to me

without any further ado. Do you hear

me, Peter Bird or not?

^^^

I demand to be re-instated promptly and

to receive a formal apology from Peter

Bird and/or John Bird of The Big Issue.

Failing that, my legal options are wide

open and I will take whatever steps

are available to overturn Peter Bird's

biassed and irrational decision that

openly violates my human rights and

my demand for due process under

the law.

^^^

The big ball, as the Americans say, is now

in The Bird Court from here on out. I will

give 5 (five) days for Peter Bird to rescind

the so-called "suspension" of me or face the

next step that I shall be compelled to

take legally against him and any claim

I may seek for personal monetary

damages from The Big Issue.

^^^

For the time being, I herein partially list

below some of my wonderful friends, Big

Issue customers, and ex-customers that

I have come to know at my permanent

Long Acre pitch during the past

five years ...

One final comment for now. What I do and say in

my private life is no business of The Bird Brothers

of The Big Issue. I am NOT employed by them. They

pay me no salary. I have committed no criminal

offense at my pitch and the Code of Conduct - which

is very shaky, legally - does not mean I cannot

express what I believe politically, socially,

religiously, morally, emotionally, literately,

educationally, and ethically. If what I write

and say offends, then tough luck! My right to

offend The Big Issue and/or The Bird Brothers

is my paramount right of free speech. Like it

or lump it - it doesn't matter a breeze to me.

So hang in there boyz and girlz for more fun ...

He Is NOT One of Us! By Uncle Monty at Sheremetyevo.

He Is NOT One of Us!

By Uncle Monty at Sheremetyevo.
=-=

Sitting here at Moscow’s

Международный аэропорт Шереметьево or

Sheremetyevo International Airport while waiting to

transfer from St. Petersburg for my early morning

Russian Aeroflot flight back to London, I just simply

began to surf the net on my Dell laptop and catching

glimpses of a variety of online British newspaper

headlines. Then by chance, I hit the Daily Mail and

to my horror I then read the depressing story of The

Big Issue vendor James McConnell being sentenced to

nine months in prison for stealing expensive saxaphones

from one of his good and kind customers called Richard

Rawsthorn, a law partner and a willing soul only willing

and ready to help the vendor in question. His customer

was obviously a very good and decent humanbeing, too.

But the same cannot be said for the white trash and scum

like James McConnell. No, sir! And, I don't give a damn

if he's a druggie or not. That's no excuse - period.
=-=
My immediate reaction to reading Jaya Narain’s news

report about McConnell’s bad deed was to say to myself

– “He is NOT one of us” at The Big Issue! That is, he is

NOT one of us who are presently vendors and who

would never think of doing what McConnell did to

the professed and forgiving Christian gentleman
that is solicitor Richard Rawsthorn.

As a vendor myself and on behalf of my fellow Big

Issue vendors I say without any hesitation – “SORRY,

SORRY RICHARD.” We are sorry that it would take

such a rotten person like James McConnell to not only

bring disgrace upon himself but also on his fellow ven-

dors who do truly appreciate and respect their good

customers and the support they give so freely to us

across the country. I do hope, Richard, that you under-

stand we “thank you” so much for your help to vendors

like us from The Big Issue and despite whatever

despicable James McConnell did to you. He's

thus a thief and even worse a big betrayer!
=-=
I hope, too, that The Big Issue itself will contact you

and express their disgust with what McConnell has

done and to say they appreciate your kindness and

care toward Big Issue vendors. I doubt The Big Issue

has even thought of doing that, but it’s not too late to

do so. Just go ahead Big Issue and do it right now. I also

hope The Big Issue will now ban for life James McConnell

from ever becoming a badged vendor upon his release

from prison. Due to him, many of The Big Issue vendors

will suffer because of such negative national news coverage

by The Daily Mail. Such only further harms them on

the streets.

Here then is the story I am referring

to for you to now also read:

'Now that's gratitude! Big Issue seller robs
Christian who gave him cash and a job.'

By Jaya Narain.

Pathetic and despicable folks like James McConnell

are, of course, part and parcel and a product of today’s

Broken Britain. Frankly, I don't care what his problem is.

There is no excuse for betraying someone like Richard

Rawsthorn, who has helped and given of himself to a

fellow humanbeing. Yes, I know it sounds corny to

many thesedays in our society that has lost its way

and her people who are so often broken spiritually,

morally, ethically, and socially.

=-=

Yet, Richard’s humility and compassion, even after

what McConnell did to him, is an extraordinary act

of Christianity. Especially in light of my own rather

"unforgivingness" toward the immigrants who robbed

me and who, ironically, are set to be sentenced tomorrow

by His Honour Judge Aiden Marron, Q.C. at Blackfriars

Crown Court after the unanimous jury verdict that

found them guilty of their crimes committed against me.

Unlike good Richard Rawsthorn, I don’t have it in my heart

or mind to let such immigrant scum get off scot free. I hope

the honourable judge clobbers them, frankly. I’m obviously

an unworthy Christian and a poor Anglican compared

to the good and humane man called Richard Rawsthorn.

I admire his gift of forgiveness to James McConnell despite

the despicable misdeed he committed against the man who

truly wanted to give aid and comfort to at least one Big

Issue vendor on the street called James McConnell.

But please remember, he is NOT one of us!

And, hopefully never will be!

Moscow's Post Soviet Bully-Boys.

By Uncle Monty.

Moscow Photos By Alex Albion.
...

They were everywhere! That is Moscow's

Post-Soviet Bully-Boys (see just a few of them

in the above photo of them) both before, dur-

ing, and after the 65th Anniversary of Russia's

Victory Day Parade at Red Square to commemorate

the Soviet Union's defeat against the Nazi invasion in

1945. At times, however, I wondered as I watched

the huge military and patriotic ceremony in

the red shadows of The Kremlin, who were the

real tyrants - Hilter or Stalin or Lenin. I think

it is safe to call the three of them pure tyrants.

With the Nazis some six million humanbeings

perished and with the Soviet Communists some

20 million Russian citizens were either butchered,

slaughtered, tortured, and/or shipped to Russia's

Siberian gulags under Stalin alone! Yet in the

world today, there are still some folks who

actually admire either one or more

of the three-mentioned tyrants!!

.

Once I hit homebase after my marvellous trip to

Russia with Contessa Maria - who flies back to

the States later today - I shall endeavour to write

my stories about Moscow and St. Petersburg

that I have now seen and experienced upclose

for the past 10 days inside Mother Russia. My

first story will be called: "Moscow's Post-Soviet

Bully-Boys." They just browbeat and bullied

the ordinary folkz trying to see something of

The Victory Day Parade. So lookout for my

stories quite soon and with lots of photos, too.
...
And finally, a very good riddance to you jackass!

England's WORST ever PM was

New Labourite and jackass Gordon Brown.
