Readings’ Jack-Boot-Warriors.
The ‘Lurking Menace’ That Stalks The Streets of Reading, Berks, UK.
The Demise Of Our Civil Liberties.
How many of you used to watch ‘The Two ronnies’ programme, (a lifetime
ago now it seems) where society was ruled by women in black PVC
outfits and black ‘Jack-Boots’? Where all the men were made to dress in
‘womens’ clothes and do ‘womens’ chores?
If the chap’s wanted to be ‘masculine’ in any way, they had to do it very
secretly, where the ‘jack-Boot Enforcers’ couldn’t find them. They were
treated no better than little children, and in fact, they started to behave like
little children, with ‘The Enforcers’ acting like ‘Super-Nannies’ which is
WHAT made the sketches so funny and memorable. It was only on the
telly, it wasn’t REAL LIFE after all.
Fast-Forward 25 to 30 years and we’re in 2007. This is where we are all
TOLD how to behave. What we musn’t do. Even what we ‘musn’t think’.
We have CCTV on every corner just to keep check on us, and to make
absolutely SURE we’re all obeying the ‘rules’ set down by our ‘Super-
Nannies’. (AKA our local & national Government officers).
Reading, is a thriving town, and as with ANY thriving town, it’s ‘heart’ is
it’s community. The people who live ‘within’ the town are it’s lifeblood.
Now, to get to the point here. WHY do our ‘Super-Nannies’ in the local
council want to make life as difficult as possible for the ‘lifeblood’ to
survive? Why are they making it almost impossible for families who live
within the ‘town zone’ to have a normal family life? With the obvious
outcome that ‘families’ will move OUT of the town into communities where
they are not comfortable, and won’t feel welcome.
‘Outcast’ is the word that springs to mind. Why do our ‘SN’s’ want to make
us all feel like ‘outcasts’? Could it be anything to do with ‘control’?
You know the saying; “Divide and conquer”. Well our ‘SN’s’ are using this
tactic very well by utilising our very own ‘Jack-Boot-Warriors’.
Yes, you’ve guessed it; ‘Traffic Wardens’. Those guardians of our streets.
Making sure No-One gets to outstay their welcome in this ‘cold’ town of
ours. Making sure that if the ‘residents’ have visitors, that they must only
stay for a MAXIMUM of two hours, and by NO account be allowed to stay
later than 8pm, or arrive any earlier than 8am. If they DO it will cost them
£30-, or £60- if the ‘Jack-Boot-Warrior’ should inadvertantly ‘forget’ to
stick the ticket to the windscreen. (As if, EH?)
(And NOW Are They REALLY Going To Get Head-Cams??)
OH, silly me, I forgot. We’re ‘allowed’ to purchase a ‘finite’ number of
parking vouchers that will allow our guests or relatives to stay longer. The
finite number being just enough to allow us to have ONE visitor a WEEK!
What a deal? Why on earth aren’t I rolling over on my back with gratitude?
We’re actually ALLOWED to have ONE visitor a week, and we’re allowed
to PAY the council for that privelage……. GREAT!!
Don’t worry now, it’s OK, because we’re really kept on our guard at all
times. They have a ‘Crack Mobile Squad’. They have ‘Scooters’ in their
arsenal. They can appear as if by ‘magic’ at any time of the day or night.
If they catch you parked just 1 centimetre out of the designated lines of
demarcation you’ll get that ticket. Park up at TWO minutes to eight AM
or stay just TWO minutes later than eight PM and the camera will ‘trap’
you, a ticket will be issued, and you’ll get NO joy if you try to appeal.
Of course, I’m forgetting again. This is all done for OUR benefit. To keep
the streets clear of all that inconvenient traffic that the ‘lifeblood’ of any
town centre needs to live and breath like a human community.
OH, sorry again. I used the H & C words there without thinking. I’d better
be careful because this Blog will be shut down, or made to sit on the
‘Naughty Step’.
Catch you later. Don’t forget to call back regularly, and forward the link
to your friends & relatives.
Cheers,
