There’s a time and place for a lot of things.

As children we are taught and moulded by those around us to understand what, why, where and when that statement should come into play and in turn hopefully we pass on those little gems of knowledge to future generations so maybe they can learn perhaps from our past mistakes and improve themselves in areas where they might be in some way lacking knowledge.

It’s an ongoing process, lessons can be learnt everyday and as in every educational capacity there will always be those who think they know best, don’t want to listen to what you have to say, think what you’ve said is all a pile of garbage or just want muck about, not giving a stuff about anyone else and their feelings regardless of the consequences.

 After all they’re” only joking “, they don’t really mean the stuff they said, it was only said in jest ,you should just chill out , not take life so seriously , words are only words and names are only names , they’re just little things that roll off the tongue , they don’t bust bones , they’ve never hurt anybody.

But that’s just it , they do , they pierce into the heart , make you feel unwanted , unloved and if you keep on passing that hatred on it just keeps on filtering on through from generation to generation.

We are not born like the Daleks as creatures created to hate, we are born as babies to grow and learn and thrive and love but if we are taught something by somebody like a parent or someone we hold great trust in there’s a chance we will believe in what they have said verbatim unless someone has the sense to put you right in your education.

So as you can imagine it truly appalled me to observe someone holding court with a group of their friends outside a local primary this week spouting all manner of derogatory names and insults as children filed past on their way on into school and their own child sat lovingly in their arms quietly drinking in every single thing their beloved guardian had to say.

Like I said there’s a time and a place for lots of things but never is there an excuse for the use of any kind of racism.

You say you want Britain to be great again, so let’s do it, draw a line under all prejudices, bigotry and abuse of the past.

And for the sake of the future generations really let this be for them, a brand new start.
