The story in Japan simply gets worse and worse. The death toll rises, the nuclear emergency increases and freezing temperatures hamper both aid relief and the rescue attempts. I have made a small offer to the Japanese Embassy and to the JAPANFoundation that I would willingly house, feed, and entertain a Japanese family of three or four displaced persons for the next several months. I mean, you can't look on at what is happening and not be moved by the circumstances facing the Japanese nation.
So what if I don't got on holiday this year, so what if I have to find a few hundred pounds extra for a few months. Compared to what is happening at the moment in Japan, anything anyone can do, should be done.
I very much doubt that my small gesture will be accepted. Especially with so much going on and the logistics of finding sufficient host families in the UK. But I tell you now, if they decide to find hosts for some of the people, and I do get a phone call, then Pauline and I will be off in the car in a flash to any UK Airport to pick up our guests and show them that there is a Global Community.

Casey Heynes Australia
Now don't get me wrong, I do not condone violence. Indeed, I am a gentle man and have walked away from many of a fight. Indeed, I did not hit back when I was twice assaulted in the workplace with my back turned to the assailant. Once on a night shift while in bed waiting for a 999 call turnout, and once while I was sat at my desk and my assailant walked behind me before hitting me from behind. Nope, I am not a violent man. And I have to contextualise the statement before I hit on the main theme of this Blog post.
Victims of the World unite and follow Casey Heynes. Always a constant victim, he stands while his assailant punches him full force in the face. He doesn't react as his assailant makes two blows to the stomach. No, Casey Heynes is a gentle guy. He doesn't react and there is no one there to help him. Well actually there is. There's the person holding the Happy Slapping Camera Phone, and someone who you may think was around because all of a sudden he steps in between the bully and the victim. Nope, not to help Casey but to try and stop Casey hurting the bully. Eh, like what? Casey was never going to hurt the Bully tough guy. No, Casey simply picked the Bully up and Body Slammed him into the concrete. Now why didn't I think of that on those occasions that I was attacked? I know, because I wasn't looking. You see that's the things with Bullies, they only do what they think that they can get away with. Now that's some real Social Science for you, and if you are instead into Film and Theatre; then check out the numerous Casey Heynes videos on the Web.
By the way, the victim actually got suspended from School. I read somewhere on the Web that the only time Casey should have been given off School was to go and collect the Keys to the Town. There's a lot of people out there who need to answer for this one, and Casey Heynes isn't one of those people. Where were those who have a duty of care to a child in a school to prevent constant bullying occuring, where were the parents of the assailant, where were the parents of the camera holder, and where were the parents of the tough guy with the rucksack. Shame on all of you, and well done Casey Heynes. Oh, and well done to the young girl who tries to step in at the end. Well done to everyone who supports Casey Heynes and please continue to support him when he is allowed back into School.
