Helena In Mancheter

It's ages since I blogged and there are many reasons .
First is I'm in Manchester and secondly, the time has been packed full .
Why Manchester? I'm a Mancunian and miss it very much. The open , friendly people. The proximity to the sea and so much more .
I will be returning to  Berlin but for the time being here I am . Hence zero  blogging .
My YouTube continues and I 'm also on a rather good photographic platform . Look up Polaroid Blip . Once in type BVFL33 in search and you will see what I have been doing .
Have always loved making videos and more or less got the editing skills to short films .YouTube will always be my passion.
My stills need a lot of improvement and Blip is helping here .Plus have met some great fellow Blippers . Now you see why the blog was neglected. Will try and drop in each week. For now here are two collages I made for Blip ....One the weekend I treated myself to a really super new Ukelele The other this week when I did a sponsored swim .
Looks like the Foxylady is turning into a Musical Mermaid .

† LIFT HIGH THE CROSS †

I am beginning to wonder if David Cameron, PM of Great Britain is striving to build a Mecca in 'England's green and pleasant land'. 
In 2012 the government ruled that Christians may not wear a cross at work lest they offend in particular Muslims & health and safety.This from the government of a Christian country. *Note Cameron promised to enshrine the rights of Christians whilst his lawyers were actually fighting one in court ! 
Now fast forward to this year and the controversy over an Islamic female wearing full nigab in a UK court and her refusal to show her face to the judge.
This provoked a stir from the public requesting rulings be brought in similar to those in France and other countries.
Mr Cameron, a man not noted for 'backbone ' has made the following statement :-) 
"We are a free country and people should be free to wear what ever clothes they wish in public or in private "
Mr Cameron a court is not the streets or the home. It is a place where a judge has to know and verify to whom he is speaking. As must immigration officals know whom they are letting through control.
Dont try to wriggle out by saying a cross is not clothing. 
It's a very positive sign of  belonging to the Christian faith  something Christians are not ashamed to do. A faith which does not hold others at gun point demanding conversion or death, nor does it ask questions re the Bible which, if answered incorrectly result in death by shooting. Best you make a statement to all those who wish to wear a cross retracting your previous opposition and opinion.
For if Muslims wearing nigab , Jews the star of David, Sikhs the turban  is  absolutely fine then I and many others say logic states Christians have the right to wear  a † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † † †
