The bottom line of this perhaps rather long narrative, is not, as I initially started out as a perhaps green, green badge cab driver, who did not move to the valley of Diesel “Ilford” with the obligatory new cab, wife, mortgage and two kids.

No one more surprised than I at the realisation of what has materialised, a first hand description humiliation and deprivation of the British working class from the 1930's.

This erosion brought about entirely by deliberate policy of successive governments.. and the ten draconian years of Tony Blair who deliberately, for whatever reason, encouraged the influx of irrepresible waves of the World's disenchanted onto these shores, by doing so, creating a powerful, intimidating, devisive weapon against the indigenous labouring masses and a hard core of … crime, poverty and unemployment… the triple iron fist of all governments,plus Enron, 9/11, Afghan conflict over oil, Kosovo all emphatically used by Blair; any outcry was by "politically incorrect racists" as Dr David Kelly was to find to the cost of his life.

The differential between rich and poor, is greater now, than during the Middle Ages.

Wednesday, 22nd. Nov; 4.a.m.

Nine p.m. last night, phone ringing into my sleep, it had been another slog of a day.

Anna, speaking from Poland.

Suddenly very wide awake, no longer weary, my bones and back no longer ached, my reluctance about life sharply recharged, such is her effect on my being.
Full of herself, her problems, her school, her parents. Her political consciousness inflamed at the Communist Victory in the elections.. In fact, full of life as ever.. Bubbled on incessantly as ever. As if we had never been parted from each other, as if Bucharest had all been a dream.
She had rung Bucharest, evidently our housekeeper had answered the phone.. saying "No speak English".

Momentarily thought of Cynthia's reaction...a question mark clicking up on her interface.
She would have been quite aware Anna was looking for me.
Aware that my interaction with other female faces had not stopped from the moment of signing the Register .
