Firstly let me apologize for lack of blogging over the past few weeks. I haven't made any progress with the wedding as i have been snowed under at work
so this post is nothing to do with that.... or babies for that matter. A quick note on the baby blues vs career progression. Things at work haven't been to great since that post. I am safe, but my boss lady handed in her notice so i do not think i needed to worry about moving abroad and putting of having a baby.
So here i am, sitting at home while my husband to be plays with his new iphone watching the Celtic game while i think about how to jot down my words about the Riots that are taking place in the UK. I find the whole thing disgusting..... it seems that thugs and low lifes are using this as an excuse to steal, commit arson and to bully and ignore our police force. What has the world come to.
I am lucky as i live in Newcastle and we have not been victim to these riots......yet, and fingers crossed it stays that way. It makes me worry about the families of these dispicable people and how they have been brought up. Have they come from a horrific back ground and they are trying to be noticed? or have they been brought up in a 2.4 family scenario and are trying to fit in. It terrifies me to think that my children could end up like this one day, just by getting in with the wrong crowd or wanting to make a name for themselves. How can you bring your children up to know better, to respect their elders and abide by the law?
I saw a very disturbing image of an old man who was caught up in the violence, covered in blood. The thugs picked him up, as if trying to help him, then took his belonging out of his bag........ then threw them away because they were not worth anyhing? A family run business, which began in the 1800s survived two world wars, and was burned to the ground by a group of thugs trying to prove a point? What point? That this is all they are good for? Living up to a stereotype that others have tried so hard to erradicate?
This is a troubling time for all the UK and i hope that you all take some comfort in the greater population who are pulling together and cleaning up the streets and helping in which ever way they can. Hopefully, the police can regain control tonight or worst case scenario, the army re-introduces Marshal Law and sets a curfew. I hope that the youth of today learn from this so it never happens again in the future.
May our thought be with the Police and public services that are trying to regain our country back.
