A view for the few

I have never got worked up about race . That looks awful in print . This is because I believe people are quite capable of making their own minds up based on their perceptions and experiences . To tell someone that their judgement based on their experiences is wrong to me is even more offencive !!! No one has THAT right however much another persons view point offends some .People are not stupid but....
  Races look after their own fact . Its not nice but its a natural survival mechanism . Political correctness has gagged any discussion of this fact in the U.K .   When battle lines are drawn everyone resorts to type . It happens over here as it does in America . As for one race been worse than another I have NO experience at all due to where I live  on this subject !!!!  . Though I now remember a year ago the body of a Pakistani girl was found in the river of our nearest town , the victim of a  " honour killing " . Her father suffocated her with a plastic bag because of her refusal of an arranged marriage ! This is not uncommon in that race unfortunately so people not surprisingly get a little annoyed  after a while . If a race is a repeat offender for atrocities like this is it no wonder peoples views are " racist "  . Is this wrong ?
 And what about statistics ? In London i think it was 90% of recorded muggers were black . Is that racist ? If a race has a particular undesirable element prevalent then they are gonna be judge as a whole . . People are all human . Being human can be ugly .....

God its wet !!!

Its a day of torrential rain . Three inches are forecast today .   A landslide occurred on Rise Hill last time it rained this hard a fortnight ago and seeing as the river is brim full now and the torrential rain is even heavier this afternoon  Dent will be cut off  by floods for sure later on  .Its too wet today to do anything at all  on the farm so ive been to pick up my broken laptop from the menders . That's the second screen ive had in as  many months .
 Its been a strange 24 hours . A blocked once friend is sniffing around on line . Mmmmm  ? A visiter stopping over the weekend changed the mood for the better ! A change of atomosphere can be nice .
Tomorrow im up at 4.30am to gather sheep off the fell for shearing . I will probably get the quad bike bogged as the fell will be one big bog tomorrow   . I shall try to take my camera again and who knows if I shall capture any orbs this time ?   Or rain drops as some people suggested !!
Sorry landslide is a bit hard to see with my limited zoom . Its smack in the middle of the picture at the top of the hill .
