Hiddensee

Between dreams and waking English News Speech Based BBC Radio 4 slips in a news item from the government about not intending to support English over 50. As time passes government planners know this is uneconomic. These reports are not repeated as the over 50s awake. Other similar and harsh messages emanate from BBC journalists staying at the Langham Hotel who know about time running out for over 50s who have lost work. Today between dreams and waking recalling dream images of being parachuted into a Peninne holiday zone alone whilst others fly off to the Mediterranean, and two blackbirds cannibalising another blackbird may be about loss and a fear of death. Some over 50s will feel this nearness to loss and death. Hiddensee is a Baltic Island visited by Albert Einstein from his home in Kaputh, near Potsdam. Germany's best kept secret holiday destination looks like it was in 1930, allows no vehicles. It flanks Ruegen Island like a lizard. Cycling is OK there but walking is perhaps better. Young Germans are seen gathering hay with pitchforks on to horse drawn carts. Nearby a derelict gun emplacement, and a remote beach overlooks the bay beyond Strahlsund. Remember Casper David Freidrich's Koenig Stuhl lonely chalk cliff is on Ruegen. Hiddensee then is an island off an island off the Baltic Coast. Take the train from Berlin Ostbahnhof and change at Strahlsund. If you go treat the island with care and affection. Take litter, rubbish and packaging with you off the island. The ferry men in fast boats stare directly in your eyes but don't be scared.

If you go please keep Hiddensee a secret. 'You'll be glad you did!'

Berlin v Moscow

Homing in on The Polish Question, it is a fait acumpli workers who cannot or will not master English are doing themselves a favour effectively do not speak up. They are non unionised and almost like a paid slave labour.

As Berlin and Moscow sliced off Poland in WW2, moving the country west on to the Oder Vistula rivers so Poland and Poles are mentioned regarding zeitgeist gegenwart Immigration and Work.

In The Hunger War, the Second World War, real slave labour was used and discarded.

Ordinary Germans regarded foreigners from the east as not nice and from the west as nice, based on deep existential empirical reasons.

Meanwhile in England POW Prisoner of War camps held Germans in decent conditions in places which later became English Middle Class holiday camps like Butlins and Pontins.

English officers held in Colditz were treated well and even shot if they tried to run away.

Jarrow v Warsaw

Foreign workers have retained their jobs 2009 as English have lost theirs. Some foreign workers have left England. Is it easier to employer foreigners or not? Its probable that language is playing a role, the managers giving out orders to Polish workers via a bilingual Polish supervisor. That way more profits are made.

English managers in production have their offices overlooking the shop floor and the divide is productive and ritualistic. Young office girls decorate the design and cerebral areas. The shop floor must be efficient.

In offices however in England managers often accounting for government money are remote even living in hillside villages driving occasionally to meetings. They surround themselves with young women and this is good for business. Production is very low and there is little or no supervision or accountability. Accountants mark up ridiculously high hoping that office workers at the coalface, tied to workstations by a ball and chain at least do something.

Perhaps the canals and railways, their building and working gave some freedom to workers and families in their brief and harsh lives. When James Brindley built the Coventry Canal, a Contour Canal out of the heart of the West Midlands Town, families working the narrow boats moved, slowly over weeks in to The Black Country trading iron, coal, grain and market garden fruit and vegetables. It was possible to imagine happy English working families exchanging smiles, laughter and quips when Joy and Tragedy were delivered un to them frequently in equal measure. When rules of monogamy, religion, marriage and family were more ad hoc and loose necessarily because of high infant mortality and the grinding poverty which accompanied daily life. The winters of the idyllic past were still winters. The summers were still summers. Early English Industrial Life was Brutally Short due to Hunger and Misfortune. As James Brindley in 1761 built the first canal, the Bridgwater Canal, in 1845 Railway Mania started. Railways were built by labourers with shovels and picks then mechanical shovels like the Ruston Bycruss.
These Navvies and Tramps lived life around their work and often died shortly afterwards from exhaustion, ill health and poverty. Many were habitual rowdies and drunkards. But when some integrated with sober religious god fearing communities they passed in the countryside nearby, say in Northampton they were, as shown on old photographs, briefly happy.

World Manufacturing is a single system with Consumption in England and Europe and Production in India and China. For Basic Consumer Products each Empire (America, Europe, China and India) should produce for their own markets. This is Political as well as Economic. Ethnic-Cultural Indians from South Shields on the Bede Trading Estate work in factories owned by Asian Businessmen resident in India. This is manufacturing for consumption in Europe. The fish processing plant on the Jarrow Hebburn border processes fish mainly from The Arabian Sea.

Oceania

Under the basic principles of the cosmos the world should be created, be used and then destroyed only to be created again. In Jarrow this would be the Register of Births, Deaths and Marriages on Bede Burn Road.

The Swan hunter cranes have travelled 4,500 miles to the Dabhol Shipyard south of Mumbai.
