Wow - that's a wonderful article. A treasured memory for you for sure.

You know the reason that the British elites were able to go out and conquer the world, as many of our European cousins did as well, was because our people, which I have come to realize is correctly called the Aryan race, we are an extremely ancient race of incredibly tough people, that have been involved in endless survival battles for many thousands of years, reaching all the way back through European history, across to the Middle East and North Africa were our ancient ancestors are originally from. And those groups that settled in Europe, and became the free tribes of Europe - some I mentioned in another comment to you, the Celts, the Gaelics, the Druids, the Thracians etc., all across Europe, our people come from fighting stock that were fierce independent and due to the tough environmental conditions, and inter-tribal wars, and later the wars of conquest and colonization with the Roman Empire and its changing brands, all of this has instilled in our DNA the qualities that you noted in your Glaswegian friends. I am half-Scottish, and half-Irish, and I can feel this strength deep in my DNA, it is in my bones, and the only thing that is allowing the cabal to beat us right now is a hundred years of attacking our people and making them weak in multiple ways, my grandparents, even my parents generations would have never stood still for this tyranny today - they'd have marched on parliament and ripped it to the ground if needed. Deep down that spirit is still embedded in the collective DNA of the Aryan race - which is exactly why the cabal have been attacking us - they used us as cannon fodder for the last 2,000 years, and now they reckon they don't need us anymore, and we are an obstacle to their fascism, so that's why they are attacking white people relentlessly. Because we are born with the DNA to fight them.

Being a Scot I understand and love everything about this lovely written piece and this is also what I would expect of you from reading parts of your autobiography, I would do exactly the same if I was in your shoes, I cant not help out, this is who I am and it's the right thing to do, even though I've been burnt some times, my wife keeps saying "will you never learn, why do you keep offering your help"

(she picks up the pieces of my saddened broken heart) but still I cant stop myself. Respect & X 2 All

I was a jock in high school; maybe we would have hung out together if we were in the same place and time. 😎

Thank you for sharing more of your life story, Frances. It added a light to my day.

The video sold me on the place. A whiff of decay, no crowds and an affordable hint of a promise.

I have never been to the UK yet, it is probably time for me to give it a Summer.

What a charming story, Frances!

Thank you Frances. I am so glad you don’t hide your bright light under a bushel!

Great story about you and your brother helping out those foreigners and the hard living jocks forming a powerhouse team. Who would extend that level of hospitality these days?

Clacton on Sea looks like my kind of place - low key and inexpensive with lots of options for standup paddle boarding. I don’t need a scintillating nightlife (or shiny new rollercoaster). But I’ll never visit unless I take a boat over there from the USA. Couldn’t pay me to get on a plane nowadays.

Frances, thanks for the fun read!

Shout to Clacton!! My hometown is 20 minutes away. I haven’t been to the pier in years.

Apparently it needs reinforcing now after a storm caused part collapse. There are new rides planned but who will invest while Clacton has lost its sparkle?

20 mins away you say.... I am thinking that could be Frinton or St Osyth in the opposite direction or even Weeley if we head inland. Tell me, I am itching to know!

It’s coastal. Right opposite Felixstowe

Harwich! I lived there, opposite the Redoubt on the Main Road, from 2010 to the end of 2012. I worked as an assistant to the curator of the Low Lighthouse in the summers. That is a super dull place (just like Clacton!) I don't understand why Tendring District Council never worked harder to attract some investment in our area, do you? They were always Tory led so why let it deteriorate like that?

I lived there until 2011 when I joined the military.

I always think that Harwich is the perfect place to raise a kid (until the kid becomes a teenager) as it’s just such a quiet place where nothing happens. After that it’s boring for the teenager BECAUSE nothing happens.

I worked at the dockyard in old Harwich before I joined the military. I hated that everyone just seemed content to just waste away in that town and I wanted to see the world.

The Tories hold the majority BUT because Labour and independents outnumber them they never get their way though the way Tories have been the last 13 years I don’t think it would have mattered either way.

Thank you... I feel much more confident that there are worse places than underneath an ancient mountain, or the strict eye of small town shame. However, I do take the opportunity ever so often to rub a bit of salt in their open sours of small narrow minds that ridicule all that moves beyond their self imposed narrow avenues of conformity. I shall sleep soundly in the certain knowledge that there are areas that buckle under the burden of neglect and abandonment... In this somewhat normal portion of what remains of civil society we are the 3 or 4th destination across the country, precisely because of these strict Southern roots as well as having the highest number of Military as well as Metal of Honour recipients of anyplace else Stateside. Sorry I must take comfort in your misery as we are short on such luxury as milk and honey provide. There is a reckoning due to arrive soon, not vengeance but a rebalancing that chaotic systems seek to achieve at least according to the laws of Thermodynamics and I suppose understood by most as Karmic debt. Thanks again and good night🌟💜✨

Goodnight, Dr Buzzard! Thanks for reading my little story and predicting the reckoning.... I feel it too. Much love from across the pond to you and your fellow survivors! xx

What a beautiful story. I'm a Jock too and can so understand where that story starts.

You saved these young souls. Gave them a chance. If only more people in the world were as selfless as you. And look at the Karma, the rewards you benefitted from. Lifelong friends and laughs I'm sure. Us Scots have learned to laugh in the face of adversity, that's our style. We like to have a laugh ffs, who disnae! Just miserable cnuts! 😆

I'm 63 and am starting to notice my "age group" diminish rapidly.

Fucking jabs. Fucking "leaders"...

We've lost the Famous FREEDOM that Australian shouted about.... 🤬🤡

You are spot on, mate!

This small group of guys came from Drumchapel and over the following years, several of their former friends came to join our little community in Clacton on Sea. OK, it wasn't the best place in England to live but it was cheap and all of us were able to buy property and settle down to rear our kids.

When I heard in 2022 that several of the Jocks had died I was suspicious so I made a couple of phone calls. I live in beautiful rural Dorset now but I try to keep in touch with old friends in Essex. My oldest friend, Sid the Hells Angel biker, told me that he suspected it was the vax that killed them, that and the 5G. Apparently Clacton was one of the first places to receive activation of new 5G towers and lots of people from my generation had suffered poor health ever since.

The only one left alive lives slightly out of the town centre and is lucky to have a good, much younger wife keeping him warm and sane. Maybe he avoided the jabs? Sid did not know the answer to that question.

My Aunt was brought up in Drumchapel, so was Billy Connolly. They were built to take people out of the slums into decent schemes. It didn't work. They WAS no work, nor sense of community and trouble brewed quickly. Those boys who decided to move to London were either lucky or would end up on the streets.

You're an 😇.

I now live outside Glasgow, didn't take the death jabs and I'm just waiting to see what this year brings. I'm not optimistic.

RIP lads and lasses from the lost teeny bopper generation, as my band mate calls us. Lol. I was a rocker not a teeny bopper although I loved Sweet, T Rex as well as Deep Purple and Zeppelin.

Anyway, I digress, take care of yourself. Nice "meeting" you, lots of love and widh3s of peace from Bonnie Scotland.
