School Discipline At Caddo Mills. By Alex Albion.

School Discipline At Caddo Mills

By Alex Albion

+
Under English law, bad kidz as young as age 10 can and are

criminalized under the system of youth or family courts. Yet

those same bad kidz cannot be smacked, spanked, or caned

under the same law. If a parent or teacher does so, then

they are criminalized, too. By the majority of one vote,
England outlawed the use of physical discipline of bad kidz in

British state and private schools over 20 years ago. That
one vote has now wrought havoc on school discipline to which bad
kidz have no fear of being caned or disciplined no matter how bad
and unruly and violent they become. They rule the roust pretty
much. In the meantime, British school and many of its pupils
are now the shame of the nation as they join the Concrete Jungle
of modern failing English educational methods and ever

declining standards.
+
While in Texas, students who screw-up can and are physically
disciplined like they should be. For violating the dress code at

his Caddo Mills High School, the 15 year of sophomore Jay

Walden was disciplined last Novemeber for his deliberate

offence of wearing tattered jeans at school. After he got back

home from school, he then used his own cameraphone to

photograph his own rearend (as shown above) to show the

world how strictly his buttocks had been disciplined by

his school principal. “He’d been paddled good,” as they

say in Texas. The American paddle is a flat piece of wood –
much like the shape of child-size English cricket bat –

and applied in some Deep South state schools to the
rearend of students from primary to high school for
committing school infractions like fighting, skipping class,
using profanity, disrespect to teachers or staff, smoking,

drinking, tariness, and what have you. The cameraphone

photos that Jay Walden took of himself look alot worse

than his paddling really was. He won't wear his

tattered jeans to school again, I suspect ...

Bring Back The British Cane

At one time a common term used to describe
the breakdown of urban society was called the “The
Concrete Jungle.” Today, especially in London, the concrete

jungle is alive and well with all the deadly consequences of
mindless killings and stabbings among school youthz and

young street adultz. And thriving particularly at

immigrant-dominated state academies and at their

growing racial enclaves scattered all over the British
capital of London and at urban black centres throughout the

country. The anti-social behaviour and moral disintegration
of alienated yobz and hoodies is all too evident because
there in no immediate sanction or punishment for such gross
misconduct. Such youngsters are a law unto themselves and
fear nothing knowing like they do they they cannot even get

a clip around the ear let alone get a good needed caning

across their smart rearend.
+
The need to reinstate corporal punishment grows every day.
But those bleeding heart political and social pansies will not

hear of it. And they refuse steadfast to re-legislate the use

of the school cane in English schools. In the meantime, the

present government is always talking about legislating
“respect” which, of course, is utter nonsence to the yobs

and hoodies of today’s out of control bad youthz. They

demand respect, but don't give any. And, they never

will until they are taught how to behave properly.
+
What a pity now?

In those US states at where the use of corporal punishment has
already been banned or has never been used, it is not uncommon

now for such schools to summon their local police or sheriffs

department to come and take control of the behaviour of their own

school students. In many cases, such cops then whisk the offend-

ing students off to the local county or city jail in police handcuffs and

then jail them until their parents or guardians are called to bail

them out along with such students then also being suspended

from their school until further notice. Offenses like fighting,

carrying any type of weapon, drug paraphernalia, etc., are then

handled by the local district or teen court. Like in England,

the American juvenile court system is the worst place to

deal with immediate discipline problems at school or at

home. The cane or the paddle is alot more effective and

alot less costly, too. Imposing corporal punishment is a far

less degrading, yet an effective, experience for such students

than having US cops and courts publicly humiltate and degrade

them by always publicly handcuffing them and then arbitiarily
jailing them for whatever their alleged school offense (s)

may have been.
+
A Singapore police caning of youth criminal

+
"Since corporal punishment was finally banned by British

parliament in state schools in 1987 (by a majority of just one

vote) there have been numerous calls to reinstate the cane.

Opinion polls show that the general public would certainly be in

favour. Under the headline 'Backing for a Whacking' a newspaper

telephone poll in 1988 reported 92.5 % of callers in favour. The

argument for bringing back the cane was well expressed in a

newspaper interview by an 82-year-old retired truancy inspector:
When I was at school there was as often as not a disruptive pupil who

distracted the rest of the class from their work. Once he had been

caned the rest of us could get on with our studying. After you had

felt the cane, you gained a healthy respect for it. Nowadays the

same boy would most likely be excluded from school, losing out on

his education and sowing the seeds of future delinquency. Similar

arguments have been put in the letters columns of newspapers:
The quickest way of restoring discipline in our state schools would

be to bring back the threat of the cane. In the past the mere know-

ledge that a teacher could use the cane as the ultimate sanction was

sufficient to deter all but the most recalcitrant offenders. As a

consequence, actual canings were few and classroom discipline

was effectively maintained."

+
Troy Daly was disciplined for school fighting

+

What costs so little and yet produces such good and

quick results that caning or smacking does, is now

skirted at the cost of millions of pounds spent each

year by the national government and local councils

to contain youth crime and anti-social disorder that

gets worse and worse each year. The whole excerise

is a national joke in the UK.

+

I make, therefore, a couple of quick suggestions for

coming to grips fast with such bad kidz at school,

at home, and at society at large:

1: BRING BACK THE SCHOOL CANE without

any further ado in all state and private schools.

2: Impose school uniforms immediately to rid the

schools of symbols of rebellion like gangstra cloth-

ing and jewellery, ethnic wear, and baseball caps.

3: Ban the complete use of cellphones, MP3's, ipods,

and all digital gadgets, within 500 yards of the

school or academy to which the student is

attending during school dayz.

4: Stagger the daily release of students from the

school so that the whole student body does NOT

hit the streets all at the same time to create havoc.

5: Deport all immigrant and foreign-born state school

students that have committed knife or gun or

drug crimes either in school or out of school.
6: Setup a public website that lists all students

with their mugshots who have been arrested for

any crime or gang activity (s) along with the

name of their school.

+

I can hearing the hollering now ... from those who

believe we should still mother cuddle bad kidz and

their bad families. It's time to put our foot down

and confront these little monsters who walk the

streets and the community and inside our schools

with utter impunity and immunity. Smack them

where it hurts the most with a good hiding, too.

ANGLICAN SPIRIT OF GAFCON. By Uncle Monty.

ANGLICAN SPIRIT OF GAFCON

Story and Photos By Uncle Monty

+

No matter how I want to describe what I call the

“Crusaders of GAFCON” in their official briefing at their

post-Jerusalem Global Anglican Future Conference at

London’s Langham Place, what stood out the most for

me was the Anglican spirit -that prevailed above all

else from those who spoke to the invited gathering

of perhaps close to a 1,000 fellow Anglicans.
+
With three archbishops speaking and a big armful of

attending Anglican bishops and clergy, the GAFCON London

briefing confirmed earlier reports that GAFCON would stay

within the Anglican Commmunion and not formally split

from it. But the spirit seemed to me to speak quite
differently than the public words being expressed

by the GAFCON leadership.

+

I cannot see the survival, or even the usefulness or spirit,

of GAFCON if it stays with the secular militants, pro-gay

activists, left-wing supporters, and anti-biblical adherents

now seemingly running amok, or hiding craftily, within the

worldwide Anglican Communion. An half-assed rebellion

by conservative and orthodox Anglicans against such

in-house forces won't amount to an hill of beans.

The best rebellion is a complete one.
+
But whatever happens to the future of the

Anglican Communion will stem not so much from

the elders of today, but from the Anglican young

of tomorrow. They will determine the course of

the Church for generations to come. That's if there

is still a "church" left to fight over. In the meantime,

as a religious movement, GAFCON claims to its birth

and cause over 290 bishops representing millions

of Confessing Anglicans from around the world.

+
The Rev'd Andy Bawtree of

the Diocese of Canterbury

+

And its young ordained Anglican clergy, like

Rev'd Andy Bawtree, who will help determine

much of the future of the Church of England.

At the Langham Place briefing, I was also quite

surprised to see the presence of so many young

Anglicans. To assume all young people are raving

liberals is to miss the point that many are actually

quite conservative in their taste and faith. Perhaps,

too, such young clergy like Andy Bawtree will help

save the worldwide Anglican Communion from its

destructive self. That's again if there is still any

Anglican Communion left alive and intact for them

to save after their Church elders have demolished

such by their own explosive Anglican dynamite.

+
The Lord Bishop of Fulham

+

In listening to some of the GAFCON leadership

upon their arrival at London from Jerusalem, I

still couldn't help but think of them as ironically de-

noucing their very own Church to which they were

presumely reared, ordained, and earn a living and

now openly condemn it from all hell. I was struck, too,

by the overwhelming presence of white Anglicans

at the briefing that saw only a small smattering of

black, Asian, and immigrant Anglicans there.

Is GAFCON then also unintentionally "The

Last Great White Hope" for many upper

and middle-class Anglicans?

+
Inside post-GACON's London Briefing

+

To briefly summerise the spirit and message

of the global GAFCON movement, I present

herein a few pointers about its opposition and

belief against the current direction and aims of

the present Anglican Communion that GAFCON

sees as a continuing threat and danger to the

Holy Body of Christ and The Church itself. The

following is taken, word for word, from GAFCON

Final Statement:

+

1: The first fact is the acceptance and promotion

within the provinces of the Anglican Communion

of a different 'gospel' (cf. Galatians 1:6-8) which is

contrary to the apostolic gospel. This false gospel

undermines the authority of God's Word written and

the uniqueness of Jesus Christ as the author of

salvation from sin, death, and judgement. Many of

its proponents claim that all religions offer equal

access to God and that Jesus is only a way, and not

the way, to truth and the life. It promotes a variety

of sexual preferences and immoral behaviour as a

universal human right. It claims God's blessing for

same-sex unions over against the biblical teaching on

holy matrimony. In 2003, this false gospel led to the

consecration of a bishop (V. Gene Robinson of New

Hampshire) living in a homosexual relationship.

+

2: The second fact is the declaration by provincial

bodies in the Global South that they are out of

communion with bishops and churches that promote

this false gospel. These declarations have resulted in

a realignment whereby faithful Anglican Christians

have left existing territorial parishes, dioceses and

provinces in certain Western chruches and become

members of other dioceses and provinces, all within

the Anglican Communion. These actions have also led

to the appiontment of new Anglican bishops set over

geographic areas already occupied by other Anglican

bishops. A major realignment has occurred and

will continue to unflod.

+

3: The third fact is the manifest failure of the

Communion Instruments to exercise discipline

in the face of overt hererodoxy. The Episcopal

Church USA and the Anglican Church of Canada,

in proclaiming this false gospel, have consistently

defied the 1998 Lambeth statement of biblical

moral principle (Resoluation 1.10). Despite num-

erous meetings and reports to and from the

'Instruments of Unity,' no effective action has been

taken, and the bishops of these unrepentant churches

are welcome to Lambeth 2008. To make matters

worse, there has been a failure to honour promises

of discipline, the authority of the Primates' Meeting

has been undermined and the Lambeth Conference

has been structured so as to avoid any hard decisions.

We can only come to the devastating conclusion that

'we are a global Communion with colonial structure.'

+

In this week’s editions of both Church Times -and The
Church of England Newspaper – columns upon columns
are devoted to the major events surrounding the GAFCON
Conference at Jerusalem and its London briefing.
Overall, one is left with the impression that for many
in the Anglican Communion they’re not quite sure what
to make of it all. But I think former Archbishop of

Canterbury George Carey’s son Andrew Carey hit the

nail on the head in his Lambeth Notes -with his
headline: "Anglicanism has changed” due to the rise
GAFCON. Indeed it has, despite the present Archbishop of
Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, declaring GAFCON to be
"problematic." Problematic or not, His Grace will be forced to
come to terms with it. As for America’s Katharine Jefferts

Schori, she seems to have gotten he knickers in a twist, yet

again, over GAFCON by her words of ridicule against it. She’s

the presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church, USA, which is

so radical it seems at times to be almost tantamount to

a leftist political party instead of protestant church.
+
What many folkz don’t seem to realise in the Anglican
Communion at large is that much of what is taking place inside

the Mother Church of England is a clear reflection and imitation

of it bowing to the modern mindset of political correctness and

British New Labour ‘s governmental drumbeat of anti-discrimination

against homosexuals and lesbians, the upholding of their mindless

multiculturalism, their non-stop agenda of flooding the country with

Third World immigrants and European Union foreigners of every

stripe and their palpable contempt for Christianity in any form or
the faith of their fathers. They are modern zombies are New Labour.
And thus the C of E cows to them, their political master for now.

GAFCON is not beholden to such unlike their English counterparts,

who want to be all things to all people instead of first upholding

Historic Anglicanism above and beyond the fads of political

idealism and social regiment.
+
I must run now since I am running late as

usual in doing this and that each day. Praise

the Good Lord for giving me another New Day ...

"New Every Day Is My Love," He says. Indeed.

Faithfully, Uncle Monty.

Yesterday, I spent much of the day among the archbishops,
bishops, clergy, and laity at the post-Jerusalem GAFCON
Briefing held at London’s Langham Place, which saw in
attendence perhaps close to a 1,000 members from the faithful
Anglican fellowship from around the world. GAFCON stands
for the Global Anglican Future Conference which is emerging as
a potent conservative and orthodox Anglican force that denounces
all the crippling illnesses of what they see has completely wrong
with the present leadership and direction of the Anglican

Communion’s ultraliberal agenda from the latest proposal to

consecrate women to the English Episcopacy, same sex marriages,
gay priests, Anglican apostasy, and issues of biblical teachings.

Within 48 hours of the formal end of the Jerusalem 2oo8 Gafcon

Conference at Israel, the first in the history of Historic Anglicanism,

many of what I call the "Gafcon Crusaders" there then came immed-

iately from Old Jerusalem to head directly to Olde London Towne

to present their open briefing of the post-Jerusalem conference.

I shall shortly present my full story of what transpired at

London's Langham Place. In the meantime, I include

I will shortly, as stated before, upload my full story and

every archbishop and bishop present, except for the mean
Peter Broadbent, Bishop of Willesden, who was dressed
like a yuppie and acted like a childish punk. When I re-
quested a photo of him he was snotty-nosed and told
me I could download his official image at the Diocese of
London’s website. He refused outright to be photograph-
ed and he was so ungracious I was totally vexed by his
conceited attitude and arrogrance. See his mugshot:

When I told him I try always to get my own photos first
and not those of other photographers, he simply walked off
like an ignoramus. He is after all only a minor bishop, so
I shouldn’t expect any Anglican manners from such a
slob and cad that I personally found him to be at
London’s Gafcon Briefing. Alot more, later …

'Boss of Body Parts Ring Gets 18-54 years'
By Christine Kearney

.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New Jersey dentist behind a scheme

to steal body parts from corpses, including that of British journalist

Alistair Cooke, was sentenced on Friday to a minimum of 18 years

and a maximum of 54 years in prison.

.
Michael Mastromarino, 44, in March admitted to leading a

$4.6 million operation that stole body parts from funeral

homes in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The ring dismembered more than 1,000 cadavers in

unsanitary conditions, and sold them to doctors who

transplanted them into patients.

.
"I am sorry for the emotional pain I have caused,"

Mastromarino told the court, repeating an apology he

made to victims and relatives of the dead earlier this month.
State Supreme Court Judge John Walsh made no comment

as he sentenced Mastromarino, who had pleaded guilty

to body stealing, reckless endangerment and enterprise

corruption.

.
"His sick, disgusting and appalling actions all in the name

of greed have devastated my family," Dayna Ryan, 44,

told the court. Ryan contracted Hepatitis B when she

was a recipient of stolen body parts during a lower spine

operation.

.
As part of the scheme, a team of so-called cutters

removed bones, skin and tendons in an unsanitary

embalming room, prosecutors said.
.
"He fully recognized the gravity of what he has done,"

Mastromarino's lawyer Mario Gallucci said outside court.

"He cut some corners and that is why he is here today."
There are three co-defendants. One pleaded guilty, another

was convicted at trial and the third is awaiting trial.

.
Cooke, the former newspaper foreign correspondent and host

of the PBS television show "Masterpiece Theatre" and BBC's

"Letter from America," died in 2004 at age 95 in New York.

Alistair Cooke as I remember meeting him

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/photo_gallery/3525669.stm

"WHEN I MET MR. COOKE"

By Uncle Monty

Part Two

.
I bumped into Mr. Alistair Cooke at the height of his fame

in America at Colonial Williamsburg’s Scribner Bookshop in

1979. He and I were browsing book titles of our own particular
book taste and desire inside Scribner’s. I recognised him right
away, especially having watched his extraordinary and great

"Masterpiece Theatre" series on then PBS-TV for years.

"Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Disraeli," are among my fav-

ourites that Alistair superably hosted at the beginning

of each progran series.

.
I also regularly listened to his “Letter from
America” on the BBC World Service by shortwave radio.
We had a delightful chat and encounter and he told me that

his first love was always radio despite his then growing US

television fame. His marvellous and imbued photographic
essay of "Alistair Cooke's America ,” was an ongoing best

seller for sure. Almost professorial in his manner, Mr. Cooke

was a humble gentle person and gentleman who didn’t let his

fame go to his expatriate head. His soft speaking style was

exactly the same as I had heard of him on those many

radio programs of his. He knew more about America and

Americans than any living Englishman of his long broadcast-

ing day. He knew and interviewed every US President since

Franklin Delano Roosevelt to William Jefferson Clinton.

Alistair's success was not only due to him being so

urbane and erudite, but because he was also so strictly

apolitical -in his first class reports and presentations.

.

When I read of his death at age 95 some 4 years ago, I

thought to myself what a wonderful and long life he’d

had. I didn’t feel sad at his passing, only glad that I’d

at least met him so memorably at Virginia's Old

Williamsburg of so many years now past.
+
Then a few years after his death, I by chance read a news

story about his Episcopal Church clergy daughter – who I

never knew even existed -- and of her personal horror of
what the bastard Michael Mastromarino and his macabre

body-parts gang had done to her dead English father upon

his death in America. They'd cut his aged body into "sellable"

parts like he was some kind of animal instead of a respected

humanbeing. Talk of the Chinese doing that to their executed

prisoners -- running into as many as a 1,000 per year -- and

then selling their body parts for exprimentation and medical

transplants is something else. But for the New World to be

doing such by private business operators like Mastromarino

is equally as sickening as the Chinese in their vicious and

godless practice of selling body parts of their executed.

.
I was amazed that nobody at the funeral home seemed to

know or care of who Alistair Cooke was or of his fascinating

life as a noted and fine journalist on both sides of the Big

Atlantic pond for close to 60 years. To take a dead 95 year

old man and then hack his cancered dead body to pieces for

whatever organs or parts they could salvage and sell is to my

mind truly diabolical, sick and evil from beginning to end. It

makes me want to vomit even as I write this story about

the wicked and bizarre fate of Mr. Alistair Cooke. They

even altered his death certificate from age 95 to 85 so

they could sell his unfit and cancerous bones for profit.

Greed always drives the greedy from human decency.

.

My first instinct upon reading about Mastromarino-

The-Butcher was to say to myself: “Hang The Bastard.”

Along with his gang of bloody evil cutters. Saying

sorry before he was sentence doesn’t cut it one bit.
“Hang The Bastard," still keeps coming to my head even

though I strongly oppose capital punishment I just couldn’t

stop myself from reacting and saying such to myself.
.

How we mistreat the dead, tells us something about how

we mistreat the living in cultures that neither respect

the living nor the dead. The more death we have, the less

respect for human life is all around us. The hideous story

of what they did to Mr. Cooke for greed and dirty

money tells us of how we cannot even trust those with

the dead body of those we loved, or respected so much,

without fear of such evil bastards like Mastromarino

getting out their blood-dripping butcher knives ready to

desecrate yet another member of the the human dead.

The most deadly animals around us are always other

humans and not the animals of God's given grace.

I still keep saying: "HANG THE BASTARD."

I'd Rather Not Have Campbell Soup.

By Uncle Monty.

--

Nelson Mandela, the revered and living Icon of Africa,

has seemingly and rightly dropped her from the line-up

of stars at today’s big 90th Birthday Concert in honour

of him at London’s Hyde Park Corner.

--

She has also been uncomplimentarily called the

“black version” of the catty, nasty, clawing, white

“Lady” Heather Mills of the Paul McCartney

saga and divorce fame.

--

The dreadful female pair could easily be called

sisters-in-arms for all the wrong reasons for both of

them have tempestuous temperaments that would

“drive hornets from their nests.” And, they both seem

to wallow in bad press and being truly ugly and

offensive to all who should cross them for whatever

reason (s) come to their conceited heads.
Both are truly embittered women.
--
So, is she a supermodel or a superbitch? Well, the

answer is both. I like the supermodel, but I don’t like

the superbitch. That’s why I’d rather not have

Campbell soup, today.
.
I’m not talking here of terrible Heather, if you

haven’t already guessed who else I’m referring to. So

before I name the other name for those of you who don't

know who I am talking about, I think it’s best to then

quote her full foul and filthy mouth and mind by her out
and out anti-white rage. So here we goooooooo …
..
“You blonde bitch, I’m going to screw you

like a motherf**ker.”
.
“F**k you, f**k you, find my f**king bags.”
.
“You can’t f**king touch me, my cousin is

(with) Scotland Yard.”
..
She said she couldn’t be arrested by the police bec-

uase she was black and was being targeted due to

her being black.
.
However, in court, she pleaded guilty to assaulting,

kicking and spitting at the Brit cops, who she

obviously hates if they're white and in blue.
.
Naomi Campbell is a dreadful woman no matter if she’s

black, white, pink or blue. Born at London’s Borough of

Streatham and age 38, she needs help fast before she goes

into another rage based on her private and public pattern of

past confrontational behaviour from New York to London.

.

It is a disgusting and disturbing tale of uncontrollable rage,

head on assault, and language fit only for the gutter, is she.
She blows her top just like that once something or other

gets her screaming mad. She's done it to her New York

maid and to the BA pilot Mark Sutherland, who she cornered

in his cockpit as she went blitz at all of those all around her.

She even spat on innocent airline passenagers, too.

.

She clearly needs lessons in anger management. But if I
had my way, I’d first bang her up in solitary confinement
for a couple of months at the Holloway Prison for Women
so that she could truly vent her anti-white rage in full.
Then she could see what kind of supermodel and superbitch
she really is. After that, her anger management treatment

should begin in full earnest. Right now, she thinks she's above

the law and that her fame (or infamy) somehow grants her

the right not to be treated like anybody else who behaves

like her does. She believes, too, I suspect, that she can use

her blackness as a weapon against those who happen to be

white authority figures, who all too often cow out of fear

of being branded racists. To Naomi Campbell, all whites

are innately racist. She just then eggs them on ... The

fact of the matter is the supermodel and the superbitch

is a reverse racist all by herself it seems to me. She's

deeply anti-Caucasian and anti-British to boot despite

being a Black Briton by birth that she is. So are all

blacks innately anti-white? That's a good question

for Ms. Campbell to be asked of her to answer ...
.
The revered Nelson Mandela in London yesterday.

.

And so, nasty Naomi will not be at Nelson

Mandela's Birthday Concert in London today.

It seems he's had a falling out with her over her

latest rage that has propelled her now to greater

public infamy and dishonour more than ever.

But after all is said and done about her, I'd

rather not have Campbell soup. Would you?

So gooooooood riddance, then to you Naomi

along with that other terrible woman called

"Lady" Heather Mills. You deserve each other,

don't you? It's all black and white, too.

Listen up homeless street vendors of the world. Don’t think you’re

the only soul in the world flogging your street rag, ‘cause you ain’t.

Listen up then to some of the names or titles of street papers I

found from around the world at the 13th International Conference

of Network Street Papers (INSP).
..
Hold your breath now, here we go with some of the street

publications with all sorts of odd and interesting names that

you’ve never perhaps heard of before until now …
Megafon, Driewekelijks, La Calle, Megaphone, Boca De Rua,
Gazeta Uliczna, StreetWise, Kralji Ulice, Hecho, Trott War, Donau
Strudl, Terra Dimezzo, Hempels, OCAS, Asphalt, L’Itineraire,
Binbhi Bicti, and Z. These 17 street periodicals thus named herein

are just a fraction of the more than 80 other street sheets published

around the world each month or weekly or whenever for homeless

street folkz to sell to try and make themselves some legitimate

bread or money or dough or greenbacks on the mean and

fraught streets of the world.

Globally, there’s about a quarter of million homeless street

vendors on six continents. Twenty countries within Europe

have over 40 street papers covering about 18 languages in all.

While America has the most street rags of any single country

in the world at some 20 right now. Asia has the least number

with only three countries claiming street paper status. And in
the whole of Africa, only four nations there can claim weekly
or monthly street sheets. Nigeria, Africa’s largest country,

is soon to start its own street publication within the next

couple of months so its representative Yomi Kuku (shown

below) told me at the street paper international conference

held at Scotland’s biggest city of Glasgow. It is here that the

world headquarters of the International Network of Street

Papers (INSP) is also based. In the same Scottish city at the
same time as the INSP Conference, there was also underway
The 2oo8 Civicus World Assemby, which I briefly popped in

to see, and Refugee Week Scotland ’08 under the banner

“Different Pasts, Shared Future.” Who needs anymore of such

bullshit like that? The UK is already swamped with too many

so-called “refugees” and useless Third Worlders without any

more of them invading us … I’m sick of such a bangwagon of
bloody bleeding hearts and Holy-Than-Thou Tear Jerkers

that insist we take more and more of the world’s unwanted

refugees and parasitic immigrants. Last year, the UK had

over 280.000 asylum seekers to feed, house and shelter

while their applications for asylum is under legal

consideration. They are a growing and constant

threat to the native homeless, whose rights are

being ignored and shafted to accommodate and appease

more iffy refugees and god forsaken foreigners. With all

intent and purpose, the British Government under New

Labour has made the United Kingdom the open dumping

ground for the swarming masses of immigrant locusts

from all of Black Africa. We cannot move for them.

Enough is by far enough.

Homeless street papers vary widely in editorial content,
sterling page design, printing quality, artistic layout,

innovative graphics, outstanding photography, ongoing

circulation, public status, story focus, and street vendor

presence. In thumbing thru some of the world’s street
papers, I couldn’t help but notice that most of them were
a standard 30 pages in length, while a couple had only an

8-page publication and few with over 45 pages. The majority

were monthlies. Stylistically, some were high gloss magazines

and others more like local newsletters. Few if any of the street

papers were much older than 10 year old since they started to

first hit the streets. Most all of them carried a social message

of needing to rid the world of homelessness. Yet, ironically, the

rise of more street papers is circumstantial evidence of more

global homelessness rather the less at this first decade of the

21st century. And the more political the publication, the more
left leaning it seemed to be. The most expensive counties
to buy street papers was in England, Scotland, Wales and

Ireland. The cheapest countries was Russia, Burundi,

India, and Argentina. Advertisements and ad revenues

were the mainstay of the world street papers I informally

reviewed, although one or two were completely ad free.

..

One thing that was consistent, no matter what or

where the street sheet, was news features or profiles

about their own street vendors. But for heaven sake, that

should be how it is anyway. To ignore your vendors, is at

the peril of the publication’s life and limb and the liveli-

hood and well being of the vendors themselves. There is

a tendency to give lip service only to such vendors, es-

pecially when the street paper becomes more part of the

established status quo or it moves from its original roots

of subculture to that of a mainstream publishing organ.
The more successful the paper, the less it becomes a

street paper per se. Rather, it then veers, or even

joins, the ranks of the horse-blinking Bourgeoisie.
..

..
One of my concerns in attending the INSP Conference
was the question of profits for the vendors. Most only get

a slither of the profits from such street papers. I think it is

about time that vendors are included in profit sharing so

that the more profit the paper makes, the more income the

vendor gets. Some street sheets are more profitable than

others, obviously. Some operate on a shoe string, while a

few others are annually a multi-million dollar corporate

operation at where the vendors work tirelessly like under-

paid and under-appreciated bumble bees for the Big

Queen Bee. And the more profits she seems to make, the

less seems to be given to the street vendors. It should be

the other way around, shouldn’t it? The more profits the

corporate entity makes, the more should go into the

pockets of the vendors. But I think in the distant future,

homeless street vendors as we know of them today will

ultimately be dispensed with on the streets or reduced

in substantial numbers.

Let's look now at the situation for the hoped-for street

vendors and first street paper in murderous Zimbabwe

under the vile madman of Robert Mugabe, who should

have been arrested and detained when he and his vicious

cronies left the cruel country in their audacity to attend

the UN Food Conference in Rome just last month. Mugabe

should have then been charged under a prepared criminal

warrant from the International Court of Justice in The

Hague for national genocide of his own people and crimes

against humanity. Instead they let him "escape" back to

Zimbabwe to commit even further outrageous crimes

and to steal the election from MorganTsvangirai, who has

now fled to the Danish Embassy for his own safety from

Mugabe's murderous mob.

..

Such then in the present backdrop of the hopes of those

seeking to begin the first street sheet in the troubled

Southern African country that continues to move toward

a total Black Fascist Nation (BFN). In a prepared written

statement issued at the INSP Conference, the visa-barred

representatives from Zimbabwe stated a variety of

reasons why, for over a year now, they have striven "to

create a street paper that will assist the unemployed and

homeless members of the country's urban community"

without success due to the anti-media laws and internal

circumstances beyond their control. With hundreds of

thousands now homeless due the the violent actions and

so-called reforms of the Mugabe regime and its economic

and social destruction compounded each day, I cannot

imagine any kind of emerging street paper in Zimbabwe

until all that is presently endangering the stability of the

country is fixed for the better. Zimbabwe is an ongoing

nightmare that never seems to end as the world looks on

impotently at one of the world's tyrants that is Robert

Mugabe. Once the nightmare ends, then perhaps plans

to bring about a viable street paper will see the light of

day on the streets of Harare and elsewhere.

..

I now have a few closing thoughts on the 2oo8 INSP

Conference. First, it was well organised and profess-

ionally presented that was a credit to all those who

worked to bring the annual conference to the fore.

And secondly, of those who I met there, I was de-

lighted with meeting them. I would say they were a

credit to the world's street paper movement of which

they represented so well. For me as a street vendor, I

was glad to unofficially represent my fellow vendors,

from wherever and however they are, at the 13th

International Conference of homeless street papers

of the world. I hope, I represented them well.

Cheers everybody, Uncle Monty.

All, But The Street Vendors. By Uncle Monty.

All, But The Street Vendors.
Story and Photos By Uncle Monty.
Part One of Two
==
Not one of the thousands of street vendors of The Big Issue,
except me, was present at the five-day 13th International
Conference of Network Street Papers (INSP) held at Scotland’s largest
City of Glasgow. Not even the conference keynote speaker that was
The Big Issue co-founder and editor-in-chief John Bird was ever a
homeless street vendor as far as I know. Out of all the attendees I

randomly picked at the conference to ask them if they had been or

were homeless, I only found 1 out the 12 to 15 I asked telling me

they’d been homeless at some stage in their life.

==
Of the 6 or 7 delegates I asked, not a single one told me they’d been

a street vendor selling their street publication on the streets of the

country to which they represented at the conference. While over the

course of 15 years, according to The Big Issue Scotland, street vendors

in Scotland alone have earned a staggering £9.6 million (or over $US

20 million) by selling the Scottish edition of the street paper. Yet, not

a single street vendor was present as an official delegate or represent-

ative at the 2oo8 INSP conference that venued at Glasgow’s

august Mitchell Library.
==
There was John Bird puffing and panting as usual with his view
that there’s “a consirpacy to keep the poor” poor and to keep them
poor by UK government hand outs and welfare benefits to them. Then

he goes on about how it took him 20 whole years to get his own life

together. To him, the only way the homeless can become emancipated

from the streets is by them working in the open marketplace or better

still by selling The Big Issue. Looking fatter and older than ever, John

Bird was in his element of showmanship among the very friendly

conference toward him. He’s a Big Name, perhaps even bigger than

The Big Issue, among those who profit or want to profit from the

homeless and marginalized of the world.

==
He seemed, too, to think I was of no importance to him or The Big

Issue despite being one of his street vendors for over three years.

In the past, he’s been very warm and most welcoming to me.

But at the INSP Conference he seemed to resent my presence

for some reasons unbeknown to me, but presumably best known

to him. He didn’t speak to me, he only spoke at me as if I was

an inanimate object or an irritant flea. John’s little brother Peter

Bird was also among the 18-member Big Issue delegation, the

largest of all, at the conference ranging from Lisa Woodman,

publisher of the Big Issue; to its editor Charles Howgego to Ian

MacArthur, its group managing director; and to John Bird’s ever

present side kick, the ex-street vendor John Duffy, 53. He, Duffy,

is now newly based at The Big Issue Scotland at where his Misses,

he told me, is to join him there in the next two weeks from their

former home at England’s Ramsgate. My past harsh criticism of

Duffy, I suspect is one reason now for Bird’s aloofness and disrepect

to me … So what’s all of this got to do with an international confer-

ence on street papers, you may rightly ask? Well, plenty.

It’s all to do with the personalities and attitudes of those involved
in the street paper industry or socially-conscious enterprise.
All street publications evolve and revolve around the personality
and character of the editors or employees in charge of a particular
street paper. If we look at John Bird’s street mag--it reflects his
exclusive view and priority of the world of homelessness. In many

ways he is rather out of the loop of street homelessness after years

now being off the streets and therefore he's looking down from The

Ivory Tower he’s now built for himself over the past 17 years,

instead of looking up like most homeless folkz do. And so, The
Big Issue would be an entirely different publication, of course,

if his morose side kick John Duffy or John Bird’s own little

brother Peter were to suddenly be put in charge of running

such. Or if you or I were running such a street sheet we would

again be different to them. When John Bird told me at the con-

ference that he didn’t read any blogs, that reflects his personality,

too. If he doesn’t look at what others are writing, then that molds

his view of himself and less of others who write via their own

blogs like me. He doesn't have a blog himself, I guess. In all,

the best street papers are the ones that put personalities

aside and presents the raw reality of whatever are the

local circumstances and ongoing ingredients that confront the

issues and problems of homelessness, alienation, marginalization
and social deprivation. And, behind such publications there must

always be an acute and constant awareness of those many

homeless street vendors that provide the blood, guts, endurance
and lifeline of such publications. With "No Vendors, No Street Rag"

– period. A street paper conference without street vendors repre-

sented or given imput at such a conference is derelict by default
of all that it essentially stands for. It flies in the face of its public

rhetoric and stance on the issues of the homeless and the ancilliary

problems stemming from such societal questions and conditions.

Officially opened by Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond
and the Lord Provost of Glasgow Bob Winter, the international

conference held 5 days of workshops and roundtable discussions

ranging from (shown above) Italian Ricardo Grassi’s ‘Promoting

your street paper as unique source of news and information’ to

American Joanne Zuhl’s ‘Catastrophic street paper disasters and

how to survive them’ to Dutch Jeroen de Rooij’s “Working positively

and effectively with Roma vendors” to Kenyan Clement Njoroge’s

and Zambian Samba Yonga’s ‘The unique role of street papers in

the Global South.” At Richaro Grassi’s workshop, I made an im-

promptu presentatioin and skit on being a Big Issue vendor.

Everybody there seemed to really enjoy what I had to say.

The key to being a street vendor is to poke fun at yourself
and at those who want to take pity on you. Pity is pitiful to me.

I don’t want your pity, I only want your respect and even better

your money, thank you very much. All too many street vendors

and those who work with them have lost the art of making

and poking fun at themselves and at others. They’re all full of

grimness, damnation and judgement. Pity them, I say.

Raymond Nesbitt with their pet dog “Kiz.”

During my conference break, I hit the streets of Glasgow at where my
own dad was born and raised more than one hundred years ago. It was,
however, my first visit to Scotland’s leading commercial centre that sits
on the River Clyde at Stratheclyde. The Gorbals district, once infamous
as the city’s dirty hole, has long been transformed much like New
Glasgow itself. Here the patron saint of the city is St. Mungo and with
its impressive cathedral thus named after the saint of the same name.
+

I tarried here and there until I happened upon Natalie Clubb and
Raymond Nesbitt at the Royal Exchange, who are ummarried partners
and street vendors of Big Issue Scotland. They were there with some
of their street friends and of one who I caught with his hand half way
in my jacket pocket trying to steal from me. After taking their
picture, Natalie suddenly became suspicious along with Raymond,
who demanded I show them my identification as Natalie in-
explicably grabbed my polariod of them (shown above) and
refused to give it back to me until I could prove I was indeed a
Big Issue vendor. They were unaware of the street papers
conference and Raymond remarked "that Big Issue never tells
us anything of what’s going on." I’ve found exactly the same
myself as a vendor. Luckily, I had my Big Issue badge with
me and both Natalie and Raymond soon apologised profusely
to me and she hugged me, too. That was nice and all was
forgiven. But I think it also tells us something about the
negative mindset and open fears of many vendors on the
streets. Natalie Clubb feels especially vunerable to chauvinistic
and sex-driven males who feel they can come on her like she is
a free gutter prostitute to satisfy their kinky tastes and crude
desires. I myself have even had a pimp once offer me a paid
role in some hetro/porno movie at London’s West End.
I fast told the creepy scumbag to go to hell for I am
old enough to be his grandfather, god damn him …

==

While in Glasgow, I also attended Scotland’s 2oo8
Voluntary Sector Fair held at The Gathering of which my
caption picture above shows it at its best, architecturally. It
almost looks like a miniature Sydney Opera House, doesn't it?
Yeeep … And, if you’ve been to one voluntary sector fair, you're
basically been to them all. They’re so uniformly boring, frankly.
The same was what I found at the Glasgow fair do, too. As for the
INSP conference, "All, But The Street Vendors" were there.
==
In my upcoming Part Two, I’ll present some of the other
individuals at the INSP Conference that will include
Brazil’s Maria Margareth Lins Rossal; Nigeria’s
Yomi Kuku, and Argentina's Patricia Merkin.

So stay tuned, everybody ...
Best regards, Uncle Monty.

Glasgow's Sunday Herald published my

comments prior to attending the INSP Conference:

Posted by: uncle monty, covent garden, central london.

on 5:51am Thu 19 Jun 08
i sell the big issue in london. i plan to attend the street papers conference for the first time. i am interested in helping vendors like me to make a greater profit from selling such street papers than those who publish and promote such for their own profit at the expense, all too often, of the street people. ironically, they talk of getting the homeless a "new life" off the streets, but the reality is they must still have the homeless to flog their papers and magazines on the streets of the world. as for the big issue founder john bird, he is in many ways a spokesman for those on "corporate welfare" more than for the homeless and/or vunerable street vendors like me. the problem is that such vendors can and are exploited, willingly or unwillingly, by the process and not the product. while i don't begrudge some of the aims or profit of most street paper publishers, i do begrudge their failure to provide safeguards for the health and work conditions on the streets, especially during the savage months of bitter winter and boiling summer heat at various locations around the world. the vendors are at the bottom of the totem pole and few, if any, are given a voice to challenge the way the "owners" of street papers do business with the vendors themselves. i sometimes only make a few quid a day, while the big whigs at the big issue continue to bathe in their fat bank accounts and charity status at the detriment of those exposed to the elements of street selling to the sometimes hostile or indifferent public that as a vendor i find is not that uncommon. if i am able, i shall raise some of the points i make here at the conference itself. my blog - http://thebiggerissue.org/ - covers a number of issue about those who are or have been homeless. truly, uncle monty. +before st. alban, 2oo8. ps. when i was asked by one of my customers if i worked for a charity, i said no! i then told her half-jokingly that i was, in fact, my own "walking, talking, two-legged charity." she then gave me ten quid for christmas after i said that!! bravo!!

Glasgow On My Mind.

By Uncle Monty.

***

Glasgow is the place where my dad was born over

100 years ago. Yet, this is the first time I have visited the

Scottish city. I'm now here to attend the 13th International

Conference on Street Papers that will bring folkz from all

over the world to Glasgow. The aim of the conference is

to discuss issues surrounding street publications that are

flogged on the streets in around 43 countries by homeless

and vunerable people. I will have alot more to write about

once the conference comes to close this weekend.

So for now, cheers from Scotland, Uncle Monty.
