Hi Joe what have you been up to today <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie and I went to Canterbury <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anywhere in particular <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To the cathedral <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you enjoy it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very much <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The light was superb <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the air was cool <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what I did notice was the King’s School <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A number of its student passed us as we explored the area <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were all in uniform and very polite <\/p>\n\n\n\n
White privilege methinks Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is where you are wrong Paul as a number of the students were either negro or from countries in the far and middle east<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This said a great number of the students were white which one would expect in a white christian country <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you making a point Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a way yes as although Canterbury is a beautiful city it is often spoilt by beggars or by those who are homeless <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drunks and junkies who do not respect anything including themselves <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The authorities seem to ignore the problem as when one contacts them you are made to feel guilty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not their fault mental health problems and the like <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you ever feel guilty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you ever asked for alms <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Often <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you do <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ignore them but if they are persistent I tell them to fuck off <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few years ago this was not really a problem even in London <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You saw drunks occasionally but the cops normally moved them on <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have a very harsh view <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No I see things in the round <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If these people think that they can get something for nothing then larger numbers will turn up and infest beautiful cities like Canterbury <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the same in Bath <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These creatures spoil things for decent people <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I would hate to think what passes through the minds of our children <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is nothing that I ever had to face <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what really annoys me are the people who think that they are doing good by giving these creatures tents and other gifts <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It just polarises the situation <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the idiots who you see on peace marches or buying into the climate lies <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are nothing but a snob Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is not true <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know me better than that Paul <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just like to see things in order rather like in that school <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest is decay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the sad thing is that this country is running into an abyss of its own making <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
