The sound of silence

Work at the lagoon has been strangely lacking over the course of the last week. Where have they gone? Napoleon, Bonaparte and T4 have lain idle for days.Three theories have emerged.

1. The Great British weather.

2. Phosphine levels on site were dangerously high.

3. They have been kidnapped by The Tipton Taliban and are being held for ransom.

I suppose we would only ever learn of the first one. Not to worry there’s always something to blog about, and today it’s the concept of silence.

This is a word that we have become used to. Press releases have been issued, organisations approached concerning the lagoon, yet more often than not SILENCE.  Are our emails being hacked, packages intercepted so that they do not reach their destinations, or is it just that most people could not care less about rat poison being put down in the open air?

Perhaps its the location- The Black country is hardly top of most peoples’ places to save. Politicians only care about London, as do all the London press- pity they don’t know about Albright and Wilson’s activities in Stratford WITH PHTHALATE PLASTICISERS – but that’s all been covered up now with the glorious Olympic games that some people got excited about. Not me -it sucked.

Or is it that because you are from this area and perceived as “thick”, they just don’t take you seriously? What ever, the sound of silence.

Approaching many of “the top table” organistaions involved in “protection” of birds and the environment initially when embarking on our campaign to find out the truth about this site in 1999, it was amazing at how little they cared. The RSPB were approached both locally and Nationally, the latter not even bothering to reply. So much so that I would never urge anyone to give any money to this organisation, because when it really counts it is silent on the poisoning of wildfowl by big business and the chemical industry.

On the other hand the RSPB actively supports the destruction of “trash” birds such as Ruddy ducks. Today I happened to see a sign in Witton lakes, in “The Friends of Witton Lakes” notice board. Naturally I thought they had put it there.

Apparently those nice men from FERA had slaughtered a family of 7 birds on 1st March BY SHOOTING THEM DEAD. An explanation was offered concerning the white headed Spanish duck (the animal cruelty capital of Europe). Apparently some people get worked up about who some birds have sex with. And for their crime, the ruddy ducks in the UK have been exterminated – to save some Spanish birds that will be shot anyway- makes perfect sense.

“culled humanely” for being different

It also makes me believe that the green wing of The National Socialist Party of 1930’s Germany is alive and well amongst the ornithological snobs of Great Britain who have instigated this holocaust. These are the same people and organisations who have been silent about the poisoning of birds by white phosphorus in Britain, and the same people who organise petitions against foreign Governments, safe in the knowledge that this “outspokeness” will not harm their charity bank balances, but make it look like they actually care, WHEN IN REALITY THEY COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT SOMETHING HAPPENING ON THEIR OWN DOORSTEP. Cowards and murderers, gutless silent yellow cowards.

As for the last Labour Government which instigated this cull, a department presided over by a now convicted tax payer thief, the less said the better. And the current CON-DEM morons in charge just following in the same footsteps of those who were silent before.

One can only wonder what the last of the witton lakes seven left alive thought before it too was butchered by air gun wielding thugs, who are no different than the scum who shoot birds on canals and are seldom convicted because the CPS in this country could not care less about wildlife crime. I only hope that poetic justice, and Karma comes to these people, and those politicians and  civil service penny whores who instigated this policy. May their  gold plated pensions become polluted by Polonium 210.

If this offends anyone, or seems “amateurish” , KISS MINE, I could not care less. Because sandwell swanwatch is not going to remain silent  on such issues, and the voice with which the story is told is secondary to the fact it is being told at all.  When many others will SAY NOTHING, WE WILL. We don’t need the help of top table conservationist organisations who have always been silent. We will never say nothing because evil triumphs when people say nothing.

An animal charity that says something

“I have submitted a Freedom of information request to Birmingham City council regarding this incident, given that they own this site.

Birmingham has had its fair share of gang and gun crime, so is it a good thing that people with firearms range around a public site carrying such weapons when Government and local “community leaders” (self elected) condemn such actions? And how about this “diverse” authority which created the term “Winterval”? Diverse with people but non diverse with ducks? The “speciesists”- there’s another neologism they can add to their fascist left agenda.

Generally it says a lot about a society where Government agencies like FERA can waste so much money killing birds to “protect” others in a foreign country, yet do absolutely nothing to save “native” protected birds from being poisoned by a foreign company in this country with white phosphorus. Just about sums up their uselessness.”

“I couldn’t agree more. Avian “racial cleansing”. And as I understand it, the Canada Goose is under a similar sanction – if one gets injured in this country, it has to be euthanased (killed) for the same reason – “it’s not one of ours!”. Bloody minded small minded fascists!”
