SY COMMUNITY EVENT FOR EASTERN EUROPEANS

South Yorkshire is staging a community day for Eastern European people living in Sheffield and surrounding areas.

‘Feel safe know your community’ is believed to be the first of its kind, offering newcomers to the area information about services available to all.

The free event, which is open to everyone, is being staged at St Marie's Cathedral on Norfolk Row, Sheffield on Sunday, September 21 from 1:30pm and follows the weekly Polish mass by Fr Andrzej Pyster.

Sheffield Lord Mayor Cllr Jane Bird will open activities which will also include a special appearance from Kevin Aiston an Englishman turned Poland-based celebratory fire fighter.

Born in Chelsea, Kevin went to Poland in 1991 initially as a visitor, but enjoyed the country so much he stayed and became an active firefighter for the Polish Fire Brigade. He has been decorated four times for his actions of bravery and is currently a Crew Commander in the Radzymin area of Poland.

Kevin’s adventures with the Polish media began in 2002 and has since appeared in five TV programmes, a radio show, published two books and for the last two years has been touring Poland as a stand-up comedian.

Fr Chris Posłuszny, the Dean at St Marie's Cathedral whose family originally came from Poland, will also be giving a brief talk about South Yorkshire to the Cathedral’s congregation.

The community event has been established by the South Yorkshire Joint Secretariat, which provides independent, impartial support and advice to the Police Authority and Fire and Rescue Authority.

Paul Staines, Principal Policy Officer at South Yorkshire Police Authority, said: “The ‘Feel safe’ open day has been devised as a way of listening to a new community and is in response to the feedback we and our partners received through existing consultation with the wider public.

“The Police and Fire Authorities continue to engage with all members of the community and with this event we are able to communicate to a new group of people in the local area. It will provide them with access to information about what we do and the services available to them.”

Stalls from the Police, Fire and Rescue, Sheffield City Council, the Joint Authorities, What’s on in Sheffield, the National Health Service, Sheffield Homes and others will provide free advice on how to stay safe in South Yorkshire.

Career advice will be available and there will also be an opportunity for the public to share experience of crime, anti-social behaviour and hate crime hot spots with the emergency services.

Any attendees filling out a questionnaire available on the policing priorities 2008-11, will also be entered into a raffle to win a range of prizes supplied by local sponsors.

Why Are All the Pubs Shutting?

.

One of the saddest outcomes of 11 years of Labour misrule is the phenomenon we are now witnessing all over the country of so many local pubs shutting their doors for good. Some people may say “it’s a good thing – alcohol has always caused problems in society and it’s good to see less of it being drunk”. But people aren’t drinking less; they’re drinking just as much as ever, but now it’s in their own homes.

The local pub has for hundreds of years been a hub of the community and a place to meet and make friends, and its decline and fall marks a great change in British society that needs to be investigated.

The reason why it’s so sad to see the local pubs closing is because it’s indicative of the sharply declining community feeling in this country, and it’s corollary ‘social cohesion’. Clearly people are much less inclined to spend their time in a communal type gathering with a social atmosphere amongst friends and neighbours, and also people they may not know but whose presence they find agreeable. They apparently would prefer to stay at home watching their digital TV’s, surfing the internet, or doing whatever else interests them.

There may indeed be other factors to consider when asking the question “why aren’t people going out so much these days?” Firstly is it a matter of cost? You can buy alcohol very cheaply in the supermarket compared to pub prices, but people aren’t any poorer now than they were 10 or 15 years ago. This is shown by the ever increasing number of take-away’s and restaurants opening and apparently being successful, and also by the burgeoning trend for foreign holidays. No, people in general are not lacking the funds for a weekly trip down the boozer, and drinking at home by yourself is hardly a comparable experience to drinking down the pub with your mates.

Another contributory factor may be the burgeoning field of home entertainment. Not so long ago there was just the TV with four stations to choose from. Now you have far more choice of TV viewing, and if you can’t find something to watch you can log onto the internet and join your cyber ‘mates’ in the virtual world. But it’s a sad person who can find this to be an entirely satisfactory replacement for face to face human contact and real friendship.

Could one of the major factors behind this loss in community spirit we are now experiencing in Britain be due to the relentless promotion of multiculturalism by the Labour Government and indeed by the rest of the British Establishment? They’re trying to tell the British people that what’s happening is a good thing but people know either consciously or sub-consciously that it’s not. They see so many new people that are not like themselves moving into their towns and villages, and see so many people on the TV that are obviously of foreign extraction, and it is making them feel uneasy. In most cases it’s not a definite feeling of aversion for these newcomers – it’s just a feeling that they themselves are not quite as ‘at home’ as they once were. Their reaction to this is for them to feel inclined to retreat into the safety of their own home, shut the door and not go out until they have to.

Opponents of immigration have always said it would damage social cohesion in this country, but this is not some abstract idea that the average man in the street may or may not be aware of. It’s a very real phenomenon that has very real consequences and one of these is the gradual disappearance of the friendly local pub. Of course our opponents will quote an example of a successful and busy pub in a heavily multicultural area and claim that this refutes our theory, but then this goes strongly against the general trend, and may be due to other factors not immediately apparent.

MORE GYPSY SITES

TWO sites in South Yorkshire have been earmarked for gipsies as the council battles to prevent illegal camps and meet a Government target to provide more spaces.

Oaks Lane at Hoyle Mill, and Sandygate Lane, Stairfoot, in Barnsley have been identified as potential temporary stopping places.

The council has to find 48 extra spaces for gipsies and travellers to meet Government requirements. Ten are to be created if funding can be found to expand a permanent gipsy site at Smithies, leaving a shortfall of 38.

New Assistant Chief Constable for S Yorks

South Yorkshire Police Authority has appointed Max Sahota as Assistant Chief Constable for the county.

Mr Sahota is currently a Chief Superintendent with West Midlands Police.

The 44-year old from Coventry will be responsible for specialist operations in South Yorkshire targeting high-level crime, intelligence gathering and operations.

He takes the portfolio from Assistant Chief Constable Andy Holt, who will now look after the force’s territorial operations, dealing with all South Yorkshire districts on local policing.

Barnsley BNP - Simon Goodricke

The Barnsley Chronicle has printed an article making serious allegations about our Hoyland Milton candidate, Simon Goodricke. All we can say at this time is that Simon was released after the incident and no charges were brought against him. Investigations are underway against the journalists involved with this incident as several laws could have been broken.

Simon tells us that this matter has made him more determined to continue and he will inform us of the outcome once legal proceedings against the Chronicle are finalised.

All the boroughs editions of the Chronicle have different headlines, the town edition runs the article about Simon, BNP man in gun drama; ‘drama’ been the key word.

The Darton and Cudworth editions run more anti BNP propaganda slating the candidates for having their photographs taken outside local churches, even though Ian Sutton has used the Darton church as a back drop the last 2 years.

This goes to show the lengths the government influenced media will go to in their task of undermining the growth of the BNP in Barnsley.

We would like to print more about the article and literally tear it to pieces but our legal advisors have informed us to wait until all legal procedures have been finalised.
