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.

Not quite the end….

Brahms 2nd Piano…


This page, simply for my own benefit, as indeed the whole previous saga has been, my own private "Coronation Street", if you like. Realize there is so much missing… that I should start again… again, from the time I first discovered Romania... more has happened to me of significance in these years than any other period of my long existence... eclipsing the Australian years… The end of those culminated here, in Bucuresti last Xmas, a strange, unforeseeable twist, with the appearance of my son and grandchild... an event after, after what?? half a century.. My biggest anticlimax ...

There is also the Laura affair... always considered her just another female face… she now 18 years old … a woman in every respect, a woman to be reckoned with.. This has gone on, almost in the sidelines.

Cynthia has shoved this juxtaposition together complete "with pictures" in her deeply determined, deeply methodical way... She, who ignores my sleeping with Laura, when here, which is quite often... but steps even further… more "extreme" as the man said.. Cyn having now found a fifteen year old, who's mother appealed to the World for help via the media, saying she has no money (not uncommon) would someone please help… take her eldest daughter and educate her… give her some hope… (She does have three others to support.. no man) We have her here with us, now. Laura... we ….. look upon her as another challenge, at this moment, a simple country girl..

..They have all relatively been that, have all done rather well on my so limited recourses and my prodding. Cyn always maintains I should have been paid in some way for my efforts in resurrecting these people, this flotsam…but I was hardly paid in Townsend house, all along realizing I did it as I have done everything else in my existence.. because I wanted to ..the "how much?" factor never really considered
A certain cynicism from those, the majority, who have never stuck their necks out, those who have never done the smallest thing other than consider themselves.. My probable ultimate summing up of this Planet being.. a sad one …
As always reiterated throughout this long, so long narrative .. money and sex the only motivation of the 21st Century…"The only Gods," as someone remarked. Greed. Avarice, Contempt, paramount.. running relentlessly, remorselessly.. through all the " human beings" who are anything on Planet Earth…
Of the lower echelons, on the mountains, the snow covered plains of the Balkans.. there remains a humanity, a humility, the people of the West have no inclination of… have no wish, no desire, to know of… the suffering, the stark unrelenting poverty.. where mothers have to give their daughters away…

The Terrorists within

The underlying surprise to all this is that in the name of greed, cheap labour, indifference by the highest echelons of finance.. too engrossed into talking about making billions, to talk about what was happening on the ground, too totally engrossed, to possible have time to consider.

With everything and everyone so tightly controlled, how could their wealth/power be taken from them… attacked …especially not from “within”
The inconceivable has happened. The ‘asylum seekers’, the immigrants, all so many hands to do their dirty work … cheaply… They are “within…” their concepts, their beliefs, totally underestimated, never understood, completely ignored.

The Muslims of Europe have strenuously denied connection with the Twin Towers, obviously, they would. Their position not quite strong enough in the West. (Suddenly it is discovered that most of the connections to the 11th live in the Midlands.. even “His” sister lives there. The fact the area is bristling with Mosques has always been played down by the media, another unmentionable subject)

I have also heard that the incident was a supreme gamble of Capitalism, frantically watching their money, their power, run fast out, like the tide on Maldon flats, this meticulously planned operation was their work ... not of some conveniently placed, heavily bearded, tartar, hiding in a far off, mountainous country.. he, having always denied any involvement in the affair. I and no doubt, along with a few others, are rather inclined to believe him, considering the amount or inside information/money necessary for such a achievement and the strange way the Stock market performed a few days prior to the 11th.

But would these people… the same strain as with the Kennedy affair… would they have attacked “The” icon of World domination… The Pentagon..!! Or was that the supreme touch?? The ultimate twist in this ultimate mystery…. ?? Greed, power, money and sex, the dominant features of man….No honour…. Nothing sacred.

In the crash of the thirties the rich threw themselves out of windows unable to face the reality of living as the masses do, the unrelenting, remorseless grind of work,., simply to sustain basic necessities.

This time round, they are having none of that, no unpleasantness, fully intend to hold on tightly to what is left and it rather looks as if they have succeeded .. But it will never be quite the same for them again.. There is always going to be that doubt, also, perhaps, a slight less arrogance, a slight less willingness to openly flaunt their gains. Whatever, they have recoiled at the reality. A long way back to when only the “aristocracy” were allowed to wear red shoes.

However stringent their defenses against the working masses, however many cameras they install, however much armour the police and troops are equipped with, however many more laws they make in their own defence …the powerful will, for ever onwards, be looking over their shoulder, not knowing from which direction the next strike at greed will most certainly come from.

Without the slightest hesitation, it can be stated, the war between the have's and the have nots has taken on a previously inconceivable, totally new perspective, no frontiers, no borders, no massed armies marching through the night, no rules, no anything, A silent, unseen, ever simmering war of attrition.

For many years … the lid, so tightly forced down on a seething situation, now all can see, have seen, the so called “Terrorists” not from any particular country … They are within.
