Monday has dawned bright and grey,as is the norm for the good old English summer,which leads me into yesterdays visitors "sleepy Jean and Supernorm",who were at their holiday van for the weekend,it seems the term sleepy Jean was used by Liam (Sandra's very naughty boy)Jean was a dinner lady at his school and he arranged for his friends to sing "cheer up sleepy jean" during mealtimes,which she took in good part.
There is some concern about items of a non political correct nature being sold in shops,I remember the days of apartheid in South Africa and us campaigning for an end to this immoral political situation,we did not buy South african fruit and on a visit to Arab friends asked them why they were buying it,the response was because it is the best,and they could not see the logic of our case,we did start buying it when the black South africans asked us to as it helped the poorer people by providing employment even though they were disenfranchised at that time, so it is a good thing to have principles but difficult to carry others along with you.
Racism is not confined to white against black and vice versa,anti Irish ,Arabs found it funny to tell anti Jewish jokes,Asians anti black jokes, white people called honkies,anti Americanism,anti communism,its only political education can expose the negative aspect of it all and there is not the will to politically educate as it makes people question and not blindly accept what is in the media.
