Although Little Tommy is biologically patriotic, and grew up fiercely opposing refugees, he had a change of heart after feeling “unsafe” in Luton. He has therefore fled to an unknown safe space where he hopes his feelings will be protected. https://open.substack.com/pub/normalislandnews/p/little-tommy-robinson-is-now-a-refugee?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email #NormalIslandNews #satire #fascism npub1fkmhugyw77htj4g0s06tyc5tr5ymsy5qkhy0p56cyva2dnq35yvqsc763q Bob Jamieson Two massive data centres are being planned for the outskirts of Edinburgh.

Inciting moronic thugs like these to demonstrate "patriotism" by attacking refugees, gender, race and so on is the perfect foil to distract the disgust of decent people towards them and not to the rich and powerful who manipulate the media to fire up the "patriotism".

If you are getting comments or advice/criticism of your parenting that is illogical and/or contradictory to other "advice" you have been given and maybe also struggling with "correct" emotional response to a child, it must be very difficult for a logical mind to make any sense of the comment, even less to make a sensible response to it. npub1fkmhugyw77htj4g0s06tyc5tr5ymsy5qkhy0p56cyva2dnq35yvqsc763q Bob Jamieson There is no logic! Everyone makes a mess of bringing up children to a greater or lesser degree. For the first child the parent probably has no experience, and needs to learn, and may be foolish enough to accept the advice of others with more "experience". The second will maybe benefit from experience, but if a third arrives they will have to compete for attention with the latest arrival.
