Welcome to Roy`s Space
This site was given me as a Christmas present in 2001 by Kerris & Jules and what
a wonderful present it’s been.
I have so enjoyed developing it and like Topsy it’s grown & grown. It’s been such
fun sharing my life, my beliefs, things I’ve found, my interests. And so many
photos. In the past I’d have a film in my camera for a year before finishing it
– then along came digital and what fun it’s become.
Click on Picture Gallery for images or select from the list below on the left.
For the written word Interests includes
I hope it will give you as much pleasure visiting it as it has given me creating
it. Come again. If you want to contact me, e-mail me at roy@roystpierre.com
Love & peace
Roy

A brief word about the Luton affair (from Peace News) |
|
|
|
|
Since the 7 July 2005 attacks, the great and the good of British society have been urging British Muslims to engage in the usual channels of political action, to vent their anger at British foreign policy without exploding bombs or shooting guns.
Yet when a group of angry Muslims does just that, protesting in the time-honoured way, albeit in an unusual location, the home-coming parade for the 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment (British soldiers returning from Iraq), they have been vilified.
Those who have condemned the demonstrations so harshly should reflect on the conclusions that disaffected Muslims might draw from this incident.

World leaders launch 'Global Zero' initiative for nuke-free world - Poll shows 81% support ban
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament welcomed the ‘Global Zero’ initiative of 100 international political, military, business, and civic leaders, which today launched a campaign for the abolition of nuclear weapons worldwide through multilateral negotiations. The leaders, which include former Foreign Secretaries Margaret Beckett, Malcolm Rifkind, Douglas Hurd and David Owen, Richard Branson, former President Jimmy Carter and Mikhail Gorbachev, want a binding agreement to eliminate all nuclear weapons through phased and verified reductions.

Gobsmacked: British use of Japanese troops in Vietnam 1945 and humanity at risk 1997 |

I expect anything of Governments, I didn’t trust John F Kennedy or expect anything from Labour in ’97. Wilson’s Labour Government sowed my mistrust when it brought in a Commonwealth Immigrants Act that was even more draconian that the one proposed by the Tories, just to win an election (how little changes).
However two items from history I’ve just heard about have left even me rather gobsmacked.
The first, part of Britain’s secret shameful history, was the subject of a pamphlet by Phil Kaiserman, a British soldier who was sent to Vietnam in October 1945, the second NASA’s ‘Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Cassini Mission’. They show how cynical and cavalier governments and government agencies can be. Click below to read on…

The True Role of Immigrants
Open letter from President Evo Morales re the EU “return directive”
Up to the end of the Second World War, Europe was a continent of emigrants. Thousands of Europeans left for the Americas to colonize, escape from hunger, financial crisis, war, totalitarian governments and the persecution of ethnic minorities.
Today, I am following with concern the process of the “return directive”. The text, agreed on 5 June by the Interior Ministers of 27 countries of the European Union, has to be voted on in the European Parliament on June 18th. I feel that it drastically worsens the conditions of detention and deportation for undocumented immigrants, regardless of how long they have spent in a EU country, their work situation, their family ties, how much they want to and have been able to integrate.
