I'm calling bullshit on the only men on the small boats cos theres a load of women and chidren who were put up in a local hotel, I've seen em with my own eyes.
Then another hotel had blokes in it and as far as Ive seen they've been friendly and smile, say hello/good morning when I walk the dog past em.
Maybe you lot are cowering in fear but I'm ambling past and having no issues, do you need to strap a pair on?
Far more issues locally with home grown coke dealers.
I was on a ferry to the mainland last year and there were about 100 asylum seekers who had landed in the Canaries and now being shipped over to Spain
No problems except the long queues at meal times
The ones have seen quite a lot of were asylum seekers, thats why they were housed in a local hotel while the government dicked about slowing the zyztem down for political reasons.
Anyway, I seriously wonder at how people interact as they move about an area, do they look dire tly at other people, .aybe smile and treat them like people?
Or scowl and mutter?
I talk to passers by, nod, let on and a majority of the time its either a tentative positive or a solid positive response.
I firmly believe that in order to live in a nice place some of that has to come from me.
I love my small city, not in a flag wavy way but its alright by me.
If I don't keep my end of the bargain up it slips a.little bit and its a little bit worse because of my lack of effort.
Scowl at people and they fast work out you have issues with the. and thats going to make yer area worse.
I make a point of talking to old people, takes no time and I hope it makes them feel that the world is a friendly place and not at all like the GB news/ Mail and other doomsayer parasites make out.
