Free speech is what we are known throughout the world. But! soon that will be undermined by a bill of the UK parliament curbing demonstrations. This bill will stop free speech within the UK. If the Government of the day does not like what is being said then it could ban the march. Then where shall we be in a strained democracy. A power grab is on as the current UK government is going to get its Bill through Parliament. The statute book will be out of canter with the feeling on the street. One that can and will ignite a willingness to break the law in the name Even though the current government has a huge majority. Many a now turning their belief of losing their seats at the next General Election because the current government took this stance.
The weakened opposition knows it will lose all the vote in the commons but it can voice their concerns to voter. The opposition is not yet finished and I will think pick up many votes when the truth comes out. It will be a thumping not just at the ballot box but also when demonstrations come out on to the streets. We will see all our friends being arrested because they believe in the freedom . Is this the end of Democracy ? I hope not but the Police will use the new law to impose a more Political agenda. But will they then question the tactics ? We shall see.
Death Of A Cruise Ship 4/4/21
The travel industry has been hit very hard and like every other travel companies they are having to take stock and renew their business. This means having to get rid of the many of the cruise ships they have because there will not be the numbers that will take a cruise for many years to come. Cruise companies will have to trim the books as many elderly people stay in the UK for their holiday. Even my mother has decided that a cruise holiday is now not worth it. Seeing that many cruise passengers are the elderly then that will go for many of them as well.
Perhaps one day when confidence returns then the numbers will increase. But the scrapping of so many cruise ships is just half of the story. Like so many in the holiday industry there will be a lot of staff being made redundant. This will mean that not unlike any other industry there will be a lot more people trying to find work. But just with a cruise line experience getting a job will be hard. There will be no one out there that will employ a full time deck hand without any experience of any land jobs. So cruising will be off the list for many years to come. I all ways.
