Britain Today.

[BIAD]

I could've sworn that somewhere on Rogue Nation, I'd done a piece on Sir Captain Tom Moore and his walk for charity.
But maybe my memory is going.

However, this old chunk of gray matter between my ears isn't totally defunct as I've come to realise that the majority of
the postings in the thread 'Britain Today' have a racial tone and caused myself to ponder on my own inner-beliefs.

Then the answer hit me... this isn't about race -or my own perception of my reality, it's a 'forced-adoption' of a consciousness
displayed by someone else. Namely, the mainstream media!

I recall the comments from Desk Editors suggesting to Reporters that this-or-that part in a piece could be re-worded to 'spice-it-up'.
But I never realised that a mundane, 'not-worth-the-printing' article can be transformed into an eye-catching report just by twisting
it a bit and using emotional social-triggers.

The standards of conduct I grew up with have faded, I know this for sure. This is probably due to certain factors connected with
education, religion, appreciation of other cultures and family-structuring unfettered from old taboos. But when it comes to 'doing wrong'
against a grey-hued cartoon of a society, I have noticed that the articles I merely copy-and-paste do have a racial tone to them, as if
the colour of the suspect's skin is somehow connected to the alleged crime.

But.. I didn't write it, it was just there on the mainstream media's website and one could wonder if the vast range of topics we peruse
are entirely just mental lures, bait arranged with the correct wording to draw customers in. Here's an example.
.................................................

This old guy called Tom Moore decided to keep his almost-one-hundred-year-old body going by walking up and down in his garden.
In actuality, the retired British Army Officer was pushing his metal walker along the forecourt of a large property owned by his daughter
-Hannah Ingram-Moore, a co-Director with her husband of Maytrix. Maytrix is a business recruitment company that works to enhance
businesses' profiles and by the look of the property that old Tom was trudging up and down outside of, it seems it is a wealthy enterprise.

So to generate a £1000 for charity, Tom -like many other eldery folk in Britain, walked around in the garden and became a celebrity due
to his endeavours. The media caught onto it and because of the lack of news due to the Covid lock-down, his walking became a sensation
A WWII song was utilised and hit the music charts, Spitfire planes flew over his home to celebrate his work and birthday and it seemed old
Tom could do no wrong.

The charity-money for the UK's National Health Sevice -the social medical service that's been a concern after Brexit, reached around 33
million pounds and poiticians, the media and virtue-signalling TV personalities applauded Tom's walk on the grounds of an old rectory in
the village of Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire.

On the 2nd February 2021, the now knighted one hundred year-old Sir Tom Moore died in hospital after a holiday in the Bahamas.
But his death doesn't mean his media-use is over... oh no, there's still things we can attach his name to.

By the way, Tom had been a contestant in a game-show for the BBC back in 1983. So it was lucky the first media-outlet that broadcast
his walk for charity was the BBC and I guess they still had his telephone number.

Captain Tom Moore – Clergyman apologises after saying clapping for war hero was
‘cult of white British nationalism’

'A Church of England clergyman yesterday sparked fury as he branded the commemoration of Captain Sir Tom Moore
as a "cult of white British nationalism". The Reverend Jarel Robinson-Brown appeared to dismiss the efforts of the war
hero, which had been praised by the Archbishop of Canterbury and political leaders.

The cleric, who was newly appointed to a prestigious post by the Bishop of London, said he would not join yesterday's
national clap to mark Captain Sir Tom Moore's death.


Sir Tome and the dark man of religion.


Moore's family, the virtuous Prime Minister and those who applaud or Tom's walk.

In a now-deleted tweet, he wrote: "The cult of Captain Tom is a cult of White British Nationalism.
I will offer prayers for the repose of his kind and generous soul, but I will not be joining the “National Clap”."

Former Tory MEP David Campbell Bannerman said it was an "appalling comment". 
The clergyman's comment appeared to contradict The Archbishop who marked Captain Tom’s death by saying he was
"an inspiration to millions".

Mr Robinson-Brown deleted the tweet after receiving backlash and wrote an apology that read: "I offer an unreserved
apology for the insensitive timing and content of my tweet regarding the clap for Captain Tom." He said he will sign the
church’s digital charter, which is designed to "help make social media and the web more widely positive places".

Last night, Britain saluted hero Captain Sir Tom Moore last night with doorstep applause ringing out across the nation.
The 6pm tribute was led by Boris Johnson standing outside 10 Downing Street with partner Carrie Symonds.
And among those joining in were Captain Tom’s daughter Hannah, grandchildren Benji and Georgia and son-in-law
Colin in Marston Moretaine, Beds.
The family were said to be “incredibly touched”.

There was also clapping at Premier League matches and at Bedford hospital, where he died from Covid on Tuesday,
aged 100. Troops took part outside the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, North Yorks — where Captain Tom was
made an honorary colonel last year.
He had captured the country’s hearts by raising £39million for NHS Charities Together by walking laps of his garden...'
