In my blood, I have English, Scottish and Jewish. I am none of these, and yet I am all of these, for I know no borders, - I am a Citizen of The Earth.

FIREBALL IN PIMLICO REALISES PETE'S WARNING OF SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSIONS FROM LOW OZONE.

The recent spontaneous explosion in a man-made hole in Pimlico is just the latest of a series of fireballs that have occurred recently, and the numbers of incidents have been growing year-on-year.

The explosions are said to be sparked by electrical faults, - but that does not explain what is actually causing the explosion.

Well, our Editor, Pete Perry gave us all the answer to this with  warnings in his environmental articles during the Seventies and Eighties,

Take a look at the piece highlighted from his article 'A COUNTY IN DANGER' published in Hertfordshire Countryside...

Starting on the third from bottom paragraph on the right-hand column, Pete clearly writes about the danger of highly combustible 'Low Ozone Smog', which can be triggered off by lightning, - or any other form of ignition such as sparks from faulty wiring.

SO IF PETE KNEW THIS ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, WHY ARE THE AUTHORITIES KEEPING IT FROM US?

Please share your views.

PETE'S 77th BIRTHDAY - A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL

I was amazed at recieving more than 400 birthday greetings from friends, family and MOTF Members from all over the world.

I did try to reply to every one, so sorry if you got missed!

As you would expect, Nikki made it a very special day for me, and daughter Deborah made me a birthday Lunch.Nikki's Mum and Dad treated us to Sunday Lunch at Wetherspoons in Stevenage Old Town, where the Manager (who happens to be my grandson Kyle) took the order and made sure everything was as it should be.

However, the main treat for my birthday will be (hopefully, weather permitting!) on 8th July, when we are going aloft in a Virgin Hot Air Balloon Ride from Knebworth estate.

So people in North Herts wave to us!

Apart from all those messages via facebook, email and text, I also got many birthday cards from Family and friends, and, as always, my very talented cousin KENNETH CARD hand-painted one for me, calling me a Big Hairy Ape! LOL (see picture at the top of the page)

I also recieved many presents, probably the most humorous of which was from our old friend and joker ROY AITKEN, who sent me TWO BOTTLES OF 7UP...

It wasn't until we set them side-by-side (as he had intructed) that we saw the significance! (See picture).

THANKS ONCE AGAIN TO ALL

LOVE & PEACE

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!

Pete & Nikki wrote to their MP Stephen McPartland twice, via 38 Degrees, about two different subjects, - Fracking and The Recall of Errant MPs.

We got these responses - spot the difference - the first two and a half paragraphs are identical! Why are these people even getting paid?

????

? ? ? ? ?

Now compare this to one of many letters Pete recieved from MP Mrs Shirley Williams (Labour at the time) throughout 1968 - 1970...

Incidentally, this letter (Above) was one of several letters between 1968 and 1970, that resulted in Pete & Mrs Williams getting the One-Parent Family Allowance put into law, and the start of Baby Changing Rooms, the first of which was, fittingly, introduced in Stevenage Town Centre.

MANKIND WILL NEVER ADVANCE IN EVOLUTION UNTIL WE STOP WANTING TO OWN THINGS...  

By Pete & Nikki 

One of the greatest reasons that Mankind will never advance spiritually or even as a species, is due to the fact that we have to own things...

We have to own animals, we have a need to own property, - and we even have a desire to to own our place on the planet. Indeed, we even try to own EACH OTHER! How many married couples regard their spouses as possessions? How many parents regard their children in the same way?

The main reason for war is the fact that some tyrant wants to own another piece of The Planet - Hitler, - and more recently, PUTIN, seem to believe they have the right to take over another country and call it their own.

That is what caused the Iron Curtain to divide East and West Berlin, after WWll, (see pictures)  and it threatens our quest for peace regarding Crimea at the moment.

IN FACT, THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD BE REGARDED AS OUR DOMAIN, - NOT LITTLE BITS OF IT TO BE OWNED BY INDIVIDUALS, we should all be denizens of the planet, rather than divide it up into separate countries- which is why we disagree with the Eurosceptics like David Cameron and Nigel Farage, and we both believe that being a part of the EU is good for us, and, on the subject of Scotland breaking away from The UK, - that would be a bad move for all concerned.

Whilst we insist on fencing off the land  into separate domains, - at least let us UNITE, and have free trade and movement without restrictions.

PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL, AND THE MOST DANGEROUS FORM OF PRIDE IS THE PATRIOTISM - BECAUSE PATRIOTISM EXISTS AS A PART OF POSSESSION, AND POSSESSION LEADS TO GREED , - AND GREED CAUSES MISTRUST, DIVISION, AND EVENTUALLY, - WAR.

Love & Peace

Pete & Nikki

NOTE: Pete was working for a Swedish engineering firm, ASEA, (pictured left) in Walthamstow in the early Sixties, as an imports clerk, at the time when EFTA (The European Free Trade Association, - the forerunner to The EU ) - and has been a champion of closer ties with Europe ever since. He has always maintained that the Union has prevented further wars within Europe:

Pete was two years old when WWll began, and eight years old when it ended, and lived through The Blitz.

WORLD CITIZENSHIP

AS RUSSIA FLEXES ITS MUSCLES OVER THE UKRAINE, HERE'S A MESSAGE TO THE CITIZENS OF THE WHOLE WORLD FROM NIKKI & PETE:

WE WILL NEVER GET PEACE UNTIL WE GET UNDERSTANDING...

The World belongs to us all - we are all part of this planet, and if we are not careful, we will lose it altogether...

Love & Peace
NIKKI & PETE

KIDS PLAYING WITH MATCHES -

 That is the way I see the Human Race,

- AND THIS IS WHY...

* * * * * * *

 I was born into a world where one World War (The first) had ended just 19 years previously, and the Second World War was about to begin in just another two years.

 King Edward Vlll had abdicated, and his younger brother Bertie (George Vl, see picture on the right) had been thrust into the role of King.

So I was born into this world of uncertainty, in the middle of The Great Depression, which was world-wide.

In this country, across Europe and in The USA, people couldn't find work, and the poor had to rely upon hand-outs and soup kitchens. (Sound familar?)

Indeed, things were so bad for my parents and two older sisters, that when my mother discovered that she was pregnant in August 1936, she tried to abort me, and even fell down the stairs, as she was so weak with hunger, weighing only six stones! 

Despite this, I hung on and was born 10 months later on 30th June 1937, weighing in at 10 lbs, which almost killed my mother. (There was no NHS in those days!)

In the First World War, they had started bombing cities in The UK with Airships, and in the Second World War, they had developed the V1 Flying Bombs, and the V2 Rockets.

It ended with The USA dropping of The Atom Bomb on Hiroshima, and everyone was horrified at the sheer atrocity of its destruction, as nobody was really sure how powerful this evil weapon really was!

KIDS PLAYING WITH MATCHES!

We have mined the good Earth for precious metals, precious stones, chalk, slate, coal, peat, and other so-called 'Natural Resources', without knowing why Nature laid them down in into the good Earth the first place, - and we wonder why the holes we leave behind under our feet collapse, and sink holes open up in motorways and on housing estates after periods of heavy rainfall!

KIDS PLAYING WITH MATCHES!

We are extracting every ounce of crude oil and gas from rocks beneath our feet, and deep in the sea bed, - again, without knowing why Nature took billions of years to turn rotting vegetation and animal remains into what we child-like and petulant Humans call 'Natural Resources' - as though it was put there for our sole use. IT WASN'T!

WHAT IF IT WAS ACTUALLY PUT THERE FOR SOME GREATER PURPOSE, SUCH AS - TO PROTECT THE EARTH FROM CLIMATE CHANGE, OR TO LUBRICATE THE CONTINENTAL TECTONIC PLATES TO PREVENT SUPER-EARTHQUAKES?

 A BIT LATE NOW, ISN'T IT?

KIDS PLAYING WITH MATCHES!

Not only do we burn oil in the form of petrol in our motor vehicles and other forms of machinery, we also turn other by-products into plastic, which never rots, and chokes animals and birds to death when they become entangled in it.

We also allow it to spill it out to sea and in our rivers, coating sea creatures and sea birds in crude oil and threatening their very existence- so not only are we using up something which nature may have had a Grand Plan for, we are also polluting our air, oceans and rivers into the bargain, - and killing our fellow creatures on this planet... 

KIDS PLAYING WITH MATCHES!

Politicians, after they have been found out misbehaving, or making genuine mistakes, have a habit of re-iterating that old worn-out phrase, 'There are lessons to be learned'. Well, - that is all very well and good if, indeed, they DID learn lessons from their mistakes and misdemeanors.

The trouble is, they never DO!!

We have suffered air, water and soil pollution through the misuse of oil and other chemicals, we have caused suffering and even death from oil-soaked wildlife, whilst the practice of fracking, common in The USA has been proved to cause earthquakes, as well as water pollution - AND YET POLITICIANS, INCLUDING THE UK GOVERNMENT, INSIST THAT FRACKING IS THE 'ONLY WAY FORWARD\!' 

(See our environment page)

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?
