    Fickle world

    At the moment people are feeling sorry for the Ukrainian people. Is this because of our fond feelings for them or simply because we hate the Russians?
    We have never had much to do with the Ukraine as a whole, and it wasn't long ago they were seen as a racist country after the abuse the black England players suffered there.
    How would the likes of Laurie Cunningham and Cyrille have faired over there now never mind then?
    People like a flag to get behind, a side to choose. This is why war's escalate.
    Russia is the new bogeyman, it used to be Germany and before that France. The media whip up a frenzy and the peasants jump on board. Nothing has changed much since the first crusade.
    Nazi Germany systematically murdered millions of innocent people, they made a industry out of it and used the gold teeth, skin and hair to make ornaments and jewelry. Yet a few years later all is forgiven and they are our mates again.
    We never really get out of the school playground do we? I ay yower mate any moor he's my mate now, and my dad's bigger than yower dad.

    It has nothing do do with whether we have ever had close ties with Ukraine, it is about the threat posed to all of Europe by the rise of another dictator in the mould of Adolf Hitler. The suffering of the Ukrainian people caused by appalling atrocities is enough to move anyone. The support for the Ukrainian people is a matter of human decency. If Putin isn’t stopped then who will be next; be in no doubt that some country would be next.

    I dislike immensely bullies......no matter what race or what country or what religion.....bullies use force.
    They trod on the very people in our society, which is the poor, the feeble, the injured and so on, which a decent society should protect.
    There are bullies everywhere today...they stand out like a sore thumb in modern world...
    It is a historical mentality, born out of our evolution.....but as evolution is constant and always changing...you have to keep up....
    If you don't you will lose........simple.....
    If humanity's evolution was only about been physically strong then the bullies would have won a long time a go but it isn't...been human is about more then your likes and dislikes.....there is a bigger picture to our race......and most don't see it...fair enough.

    The only thing that has kept humanity going all down through the centuries is LOVE.
    May sound weird to many but it's true.....Weather you are a Hitler or a Genghis Khan or any other warlord down through history....you are part of a failed aspect of humanity....An there is no flag to hide behind...no rocks to cower under....
    We are living through unprecedented times.....that means that have no comparison with our history....
    Prepare for more unprecedented events to continue.....Bigger picture people...bigger picture.....
