Over the past week I have been visited on my blog by many
readers from Poland and Croatia. I guess
you are interested in the fact that I voted to leave the European Union. I want to reassure you that I do not wish to
ban all immigrants from Britain. As I
said in a previous post many immigrants including those from Croatia and Poland
are doing a fine job in helping in Britain, many in the NHS. My own dentist is Polish. Many who voted for
Brexit just want to slow down the rate of immigration to a sustainable level
and for our own Parliament to be in control of this. I have always delighted in the diversity of
the world’s population. I am sure that most people who voted for Brexit share
my views. There are, of course, always
horrible people who turn against others simply because of their
nationality. These people are a disgrace
to our country.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
