Thankful for tourism. Thankful toward the old and new. So here’s some heartfelt images from Alison and Alistair of our great Scotland.
You are Welcome Here 🇺🇸
Tiffy Belle 💕
The real world is paramount. Eye contact is a portal of energetical value, beyond any ‘social media’ post. That said the freedom to be an integral and communicative part of our civilisation should NEVER be silenced. Because to silence the bad or problematic may drive them underground. And this is where threats become a reality. It is the job of political, legal surveillance to keep us all safe. Everywhere. Safe from the loop holes that use the system to bring terror to our doorsteps. A terror, I know too well. All alleged ‘security companies’ must pass a rigorous procedure enforced by law to under go services to those in privileged positions, who may, in turn use that power to destroy the lives of the innocent. And this must also extend to the sales of things like, trackers, microphones, pinhole cameras and drone devices that are available from sites like Amazon. Such tools being affordable and easy to implement. Yes ideal to keep our children safe. But in the wrong hands, dangerous equipment. Fast becoming a minefield of weaponry used by cowards to invade the privacy of those who lose their basic human rights to criminal warfare, often on behalf of fools stuck at home with little else to do.
I would (like many women I speak with) feel happier to know the government have satellite and CCTV technology to track our movements, in turn feeling safer for females, who live and/or works alone. It may be too late for many of us going through such trauma as a result of stalking and harassment. Though going forward, not just the UK, but all our overseas counterparts need to evaluate the threat to human safety, as a result of the tools so readily available. Where any person who attracts the wrong type of attention, can be scrutinised by professional criminals, to the same extent as a military operation. Every person who may (for instance) leave a job in military or political security and surveillance, to work in our natural society, should be forced to pledge they will not use their skills to terrorise the public, for a well paid sum of money. It is a despicably silent and invisible facility, that with careful investigation by those with similar training and good standing, should be able to detect using the same principles, yet within the law and to protect the target.
We must all feel safe and connected to democracy. And NEVER isolated. It is imperative to the privacy of our day to day world. Getting undressed. Taking a shower. Going to get groceries. Lunch with friends. A visit to our GP or hair salon. Turning on a phone or laptop, when there’s spyware running in the background. Simple day to day life, no longer a joy to be taken for granted. An unhealthy brain with too much time and money on their hands could be seeing the life of a woman ‘home alone’ like an in-house cinema screen.
It’s one thing using satellite and drone technology. But another to get inside the personal space of our private homes and work environments to plant spyware. And how many of us around the world, have no idea that our conversations and day to day movements are being hacked by madness. Such like an internet predator, former partner or a person stuck at home in a crap relationship. It’s not like you can visit a police station and make a statement, when you’re being hunted by professionals.
The only way to catch these perpetrators is to hack them out by equal measures. And it is fortunate that with todays technology, we can press rewind. Everything we do is somewhere in the memory loft. It is even possible to clone a Smart Phone or a laptop. Face recognition tracking victims across the web. Deep fake revenge. Basically, there’s two ways to use technology. But only one brings a sense of constructive purpose. And most recently companies such as the Nat West Bank are warning their customers about the latest violation, which is voice cloning! AI can replicate anything and it is so unfortunate that what could be a useful tool for humans to evolve, is being manipulated by scammers. We need to step on this as a priority instead of dithering around about things that will blow over!
Maybe the way the world is evolving at such an advanced pace, we are too blind to see these things, but eventually it will become a day to day occurrence, where those who are victim to stalking, harassment and/or abuse, often fearful for their lives, will be able to speak out without fear of being dismissed and ridiculed. What we cannot see is often our greatest enemy. Combine the mind of a psychopath with hate and divisiveness, we have what could be the biggest reason for depression and suicide in the vulnerable to these criminal cells. And often strong, independent women are seen as a great opportunity for spineless men to sit at home having pretend relationships. A knock on effect.
Everyone can be broken under duress and hardship. And cowards are the cesspits of our society. Where their own lack of emotional intelligence, breaks the livelihood in others. A cowards playground! Research amongst experts in the field of abuse towards women have discovered that psychopathic behaviour has no cure or remedy. That a psychopath is not able to identify the impact their actions have toward others, because they do not believe they have a problem. A perpetual cycle of destruction on small or larger scales. And such types must be removed from society. Though the thrill for them of not getting caught, may outweigh any moral conscience. Because fundamentally, the root cause dwells in laziness. Obsessive thought patterns and addiction.
I have my faults. I am tough on myself. And like most of us, I certainly do not want to live a life of denial and ignorance. Therefore I am particularly disappointed by many of those gifted with a vocal platform, who use their position to mislead the public. For instance the ‘celebrity regalia’ comes to mind. Those who take money and hand backs in return for a glittering career to rubbish the causes they feel threatened by. Often resorting to dynamic stage performance, winning over the public, alongside substantial social media platforms. The Kamala Harris campaign was uncomfortable to watch. Music should be free of blackmail. Art and crafts are about self expression not gang warfare. And Snoop Dog should not have got stick for supporting Donald Trump. To be honest, if we all set ourselves free, I believe most of American Music is behind him. Let’s hope the truth prevails as we become more transparent as opposed to faking where our preferences really stand.
And whilst I do not want to become a ‘political’ blogger. I once again must mention how I applaud Donald Trump for his stance on delivering his objectives. Yes, as things progress, there becomes an option to tweak intended pathways for the desired outcome. Smooth negotiation is very attractive to global economics. The world needs more ‘street wise’ leaders experienced in all aspects of business. Together with technically advanced advisors who embrace new ways.
And what I admire in Donald Trump, in terms of both USA and international politics, there’s no hidden cults, clubs or secret ‘hand shakes’. No game plan. No brainwashing. No bullshit. It’s on the table. And it must be frustrating to be in the loop of ‘real time’ information, when delivering workable proposals, knowing much of the sheep like public are not in receipt of the truth, in terms of agendum to things like ‘Net Zero.’ Do any of us recall the ‘Ozone Layer’, where did that problem go? Climate Change is about taking care of the planet as the temperature changes. Such like biodiversity and holistically enhanced dwellings. Yet actually, the UK is responsible for only 1% of the emissions. China apparently being the ‘wild card.’ Statistical fact. Simple. Lining the pockets of the elite. Whilst the working class dig for pennies. It disgusts me.
Paying into US tariffs with a healthy backbone could become tremendously beneficial in cases. But I hope we can enjoy ‘free trade’ with The States. Is it not a case of ‘jealousy’ amongst ‘primarily’ male leaders to submit to a ‘good idea?’ We could all do better to follow in Donald Trump’s footsteps. It is about making tough decisions that are fair and right for the interest of ‘all’ that walk a righteous path of true justice, no matter how painful that may be for the poisonous circumstances that must be broken. And not just to feed the ego of spineless cretins who do not seem to have a clue what they are doing within the EU! Which is so disappointing, as Europe is breathtakingly beautiful within its culture and landscape.
Let’s remove ‘left wing, ‘right wing,’ and ‘woke.’ European politics is a grey matter. And I believe does not want a peaceful outcome. Strategies are pitiful when life is so short anyway. I do pray for Ukraine. I pray for all the soldiers and their families. Russia, too. I want it all to stop. And we all need to learn how the land became a tug of war in the first place. To learn with logic and without bias. May there be peace upon Ukraine and Russia. No more death. No more of any of it.
As for Great Britain, it is unclear to me why there is the possibility of a Chinese Embassy resembling a palace, becoming a part of our capital? I do hope common sense may prevail. Though things do seem a mess at the moment. I am obviously no expert. I nonetheless am happy at the small progress being made for women and girls, at home and in the workplace from this government. Though, I believe showing transparency and gaining public trust based on action is paramount. Leadership everywhere, needs to wake up, move with procreation and never under estimate young and vibrant voices. We as a collective are transitioning to a brighter future. Despite how this current chaos appears. It WILL pass if we put pride aside and trust in those who have proven their love of land and country. To be adjustable in many subjects, through experience and accountability.
And as for the amount of men entering the UK from overseas. Seeking asylum illegally is very different to being a refugee. France is possibly pushing the influx toward the UK, which I find cowardly. Great Britain is an island surrounded by water. An opportunity for human trafficking. I believe we should address our own citizens needs before we give our country away to unwanted guests without ambition or good intention, without goals to even speak the British language. And I often wonder, with the activists in support of illegal migration. If they feel so strongly for these men from Romania, Algeria, Somalia, Bulgaria (and such like,) why are you not opening your own homes to them? Is it not hypocritical for these out of touch types, to say our country should be ‘open doors’ whilst their own personal homes stay firmly shut?! And once again, on the topic of refugees’. Women suffering extreme abuse, from Neanderthal systems, disguised as religion, are welcome to stay with me, and I will help them. Where are the women on the boats? And are children forced across the water being used as shields with these barbaric crossings? Let’s all keep sight of the fact, these illegals are coming in on the back of lorries and every other form of transport.
In the USA they actually banned an app that is ran by gangs to help them get across the borders illegally. That said, I hope Keir Starmer continues to grow into his role as PM, as at first it was like a Judge had got a hold of us all. It was terrifying. The wooden back drop and formality. Though I believe this year, we will see some softening. I believe every front bencher within politics should have to sleep rough amongst the real street people for at least a couple of nights. To lead a country by their own experiences, to have to understand the light and the dark of human behaviour.
We all need to feel inclusive of the British State. There should be no pecking order, based on who or what we know. And fame should not make a person exempt from scrutiny. Anyway, Keir Starmer, I am looking forward to your journey becoming one of great knowledge and insight for you. Always love your country first and make the right friends along the way.
During pottering around with work, decluttering from all the junk I have from the sale of my business and taking care of the fluffies. I watch the news. I switch channels. I do enjoy GB News as it is refreshing to not feel ashamed to be British. To not always feel guilt. Though I do find the topics limited compared to the BBC for example. I find all the characters on the show engaging and the debate is constructive. I believe watching the TV can be a less chaotic window than social media. That said you do get ‘real time’ events when scrolling. It is all about healthy doses without getting pulled in.
Anyway, back to GB News, last night I discovered a young lady named Chloe Dobbs, who is part of a four part documentary on Channel 4 that starts tonight (February 3rd 9pm.) She makes it clear she is not racist, though claims the UK could be a ‘living hell’ in a few years time, due to migration. Which personally I believe is an extreme and hopefully ‘wrong’ assumption, but nonetheless, in the short clip I saw of her in the documentary, I thought she was highly intelligent. Definitely something to watch. It’s a social experiment, put together by young adults and we should all have our voice as we develop into our life space. Provided we are not causing hardship or bad intention toward others. View points to me, are worthy of debate in a healthy market place. A brave topic.
Though as for ‘Dispatches’ on Channel 4 and the stuff they dug up (from 15 years ago,) to destroy Russell Brand, during his time in remission from drug abuse, to include heroin (for which he has documented and helped others over come.) I am not in favour of everything they ‘air’. Not even wishing to touch on the issues of being a survivor from the most cowardly and indirect means of spyware and harassment bought about by a Comedian in Hampstead who hides behind security and deceit, whilst continuing to thrive. A harsh contrast to the injustice of Russell Brand and his wife, who was having their third child, during all the hype. I am sorry for the victims bought to speak, though doubtful of the timing.
The power of media is a force beyond all our control. But we should never stop being true to our values just because there’s people out there sent to destroy those who are working within the authenticity of life’s beautiful tapestry. Those who dwell in the past become bitter old souls, I would imagine.
Good people don’t necessarily have good lives. Because bravery requires sacrifice and courage. To be kind and to care is to live with grace. Regardless of envy.
As for me, well losing my dog, selling my business, a former squatter occupying the top floor. And on … I guess it’s better to have my own world than to poke my nose into everyone else’s. I made a pop up kitchen for my people to make a snack. Enjoying the pets, coffee with friends. Time with me and work. Lovely guests so far. Blessed. Planning my journey. What will be.

Lot’s been going on! How the world is changing, still at pace. And I watched The Inauguration at The White House on TV. I could not disagree with a word from Donald Trump. It was all there and laid out with precision. He clearly stated that people would be judged by merit and not anything else. So not sure how that can be misconstrued by any of the world. I believe, as many of us have got to know Donald, over the years for his relentless passion, we can only be moved by such commitment and courage. Yes, there’s negative debate, conflict and resentment toward him. But the world seems to thrive that way. We are entitled to disagree. To respect indifference as a part of democracy. I so hope the conflicts in The Middle East can find a solution that spares the children. My prayers with the hostages from Israel who are in horrific conditions. To the innocent Palestinians who did not have much in the first place. It’s gut wrenching all round. May the instigators meet justice.
In terms of our borders. Migration brings employment and opportunity. Illegal migration brings chaos, crime and disorder. That said there’s people fleeing from inhumane circumstances. This makes me wonder why the more fortunate countries in the world, cannot find a solution for the areas where there is extreme ongoing hardship. Which brings me back to the women in Afghanistan. Not a day goes by I don’t think about their depravation from the entirety of modern existence. I do not think culture or religion should make abuse a lifestyle, anywhere.
As for me, well. I am not ‘far right.’ I am not ‘far left.’ I am not a politician (clearly,) so I just judge by my own findings and experience. I think it’s healthy to periodically switch off all media outlets and use our brains instead. It’s surprising what we may find in the stillness of our own thoughts.
Finally, I thought Melania Trump looked classy and professional as First Lady of America and The White House. Melania has the platform to support many causes and it will be wonderful to see her spirit shine toward the future.
I have had thoughts about the fires in LA and it’s not so much about climate change, more so the planning of the area, which I would like to share, an idea going forward. Also my worries about AI becoming a global trade war. And then some positive news for women in the UK from our current government. Then my views on ‘free speech’ alongside common decency. Also invasive spyware/criminal activity made too accessible by online shopping. And some important key points about our overall perception and awareness of the mental health spectrum.
But for now I must finish my cup of tea and try to catch up, as I have guests tomorrow (if they brave the weather.) Which to be honest, is unlikely. That said throughout my time in tourism of The North, during extreme atmospheric phenomenon, they still turn up. We’re a tough lot up here.

What is the point of world leaders attending eco summits to discuss how we can slow down the destruction of our planet while also endorsing war? War is a virus. Imagine how Earth must feel with all this hatred on her soil. And we do need change. But not in the likely places it would seem. We need to search statistically for where the greatest climate destruction derives from as a result of mankind, and then we must deal with it. It’s all there for those who are trusted in research. And sorry, but I don’t believe it’s cows. I have driven up the French Alps, spoken with the farmers, visited the little eateries amidst the abundance; the air was pure. On the other hand, if you looked at Earth from an aerial viewpoint and offset our fields against the holocaust and destruction in Palestine (for example), where would an alien being assume the climate is most affected? Come on, world, wake up!
But above all this talk of Earth, for appreciation of our own life force, a sense of self-value is imperative. As if we do not value our own time and resonance, we lose our core values in favor of trying to please the systems that may not be right for our mental well-being. There’s a thin line between loneliness and freedom, and if we spin too fast trying to resolve problems that don’t want a solution, we become depleted.
Sometimes addressing the simple things in life and having a sense of comfort in our immediate environment is more productive in the long term, simply because a happy spirit makes wiser decisions.
I think a big problem with the way the mechanics of human nature work is becoming a ‘people pleaser’ to the extent that ego and a sense of validation from strangers in large numbers become a cycle, to the point of worthlessness within one’s own self-esteem. And ego never has solved a problem. In fact, if we look right back through history, it’s one of our greatest downfalls.
Of recent weeks, I have gone from running two hospitality outlets single-handedly, where I was doing all my own laundry, cleaning, administration, and customer care. While also finding time for design projects and tending to all my pets. But I never felt ‘too busy’; I would have downtime, then bounce back up. As you may be aware from previous posts on here, for many years I have carried a burden of cowardice from the Hampstead Comedian, who for some reason has chiseled away at my life to the point of becoming rabid. I guess, with hard work, you can try to forget the terrors lurking in the background, and it’s true, hard work is so good for the soul. Though now things have slowed down for me while I plan ahead, I have reflected on my existence. It’s the season to soul search and not for the faint-hearted, as it is during these times we learn from our lessons/mistakes before taking the next leap. Adventures are things risk-takers go on, and they are mostly harrowing experiences. Peaks and troughs.
Though sitting at home scrolling on social media is not an adventure; it’s somebody else’s. Through our own experiences, we become nourished with wisdom that is of our own destiny and making. Throughout the years, I have enjoyed social media as it’s a lazy way to relax in our own space between work and home. For me, posting images from my phone of my hobbies and happy times was a joy. One of which many of us don’t participate in anymore.
And since Twitter (now X) was the point of the crappy situation where the Hampstead guy latched on with his other half, it was suggested to me that I go back there, block the situation, and get past the nasty stuff. As otherwise, me like many others who have experienced any type of violation such as stalking, baiting, and harassment can become silent – and this does not help the problem. Silence encourages it, as the goal of stalking is to create fear and worry.
The common day bully kicks off within the playground, where staff these days are trained more highly in catching it out before the group gatherings develop, as a result of the ring leader instigating hardship for the target. But also the workplace has such types who dwell in the suffering of others by means of psychology and baiting. Worst still, sexual connotation and hierarchy can be used to belittle the focus on the fixation. But again, such is dealt with more severely these days, and it’s good to learn that many businesses have or are preparing to make it mandatory for all staff members to take a course in the traits of bullying and how such behaviour destroys lives. Being aware and current does help those who suffer in silence. It’s good to talk, with empathy, about how life is really going for us, in safe surroundings.
Bullying isn’t a difference of opinion or a disagreement. It is not an argument or a viewpoint or a social media reaction. Bullying is a killer that is both cruel and cowardly. But to have such in your own home is unthinkable. More needs to be done with the deeds we cannot see. Where hackers who are highly skilled in tech choose a career with crime, as opposed to positive tech expansion. Probably due to the fact they get paid more.
I am speaking with people who tell me their own horror stories about this tech world we live in. Everything from online fraud to pinhole cameras found in sunbed rooms (for instance). AI is using women and kids to create porn videos/images. Apps that claim to keep our loved ones/children safe that instead are being used to follow us around without permission. Software running in the background of our PCs and phones. Nobody is safe from it. But I must be honest when I tell you that the majority of victims seem to be women of independence. Whereas physical and emotional abuse toward us, statistically derives from actual relationships past to present. The point being, a strong independent woman is not immune to being hacked and stalked to breaking point. God forbid.
When I rejoined the X platform, I was not really into politics. I have friends who are politicians from different parties. It’s about the authenticity of the individual. I believe if you become too fanatical about one specific party you end up being ignorant. It’s about balance. And that’s what a good leader should be: someone who has the common sense to hear both sides of the story, to read both sides of the coin. Otherwise, we are rejecting part of the nation that has different views. We must think logically to reach some kind of constructive outcome.
I think a lot of people in the UK are talking about American politics at the moment. I know my guests have discussed it with me in passing, in a jolly way (it’s tourism, I keep things light). And also the community here chatters about all the drama in the world. As for me, well, I have always liked Donald Trump. And when society makes us feel we are not able to speak positively of a person we admire, then we too fall under the bully spectrum. To not feel able to speak out about our likes, when indeed our current world thrives on the negative and the nastiness. The pile-on of political hatred and extremism right (and left) across the board. It’s not intelligent thinking at all. Small-minded people start civil wars that are so unnecessary. It’s blatantly obvious to those who sit on the fence of common sense, seeing the stirrers who are often hidden in fake pretty packages. Empty vessels make the most noise, and all that jazz...
I have many mixed race friends, and black music is the spirit of rhythm and dance. We all come in different shapes and sizes. Though in mixed societies, there’s not a real ‘white’ or ‘black’ skin. We’re many different shades and origins. And we can never truly know all our ancestors. I do believe ‘the woke’ thing has divided us. And it has caused political and cultural hatred. We must be careful that the actors in society do not use our principles to divide us. This can creep in with fake street rumors, hashtags, and misinformation spread across the web by ‘fake’ outlets. Basically, all types of gossiping. Sheep love gossip and bad actors.
We need to unite in our communities to promote kindness and support, ensuring everyone feels included. Otherwise, ego-driven power can strip away our uniqueness by creating division. This often distracts us from more serious issues like acts of war and premeditated riots. Where the vulnerable (sheep) are often caught up as chess pieces with absolutely no control of the outcome. Or in fact, often no idea what they are doing or the fundamental principles, in belief they are going to achieve a solution.
Moving on and importantly. I believe men and women need to get on. And as said before, many women are becoming less inclined to get to know the opposite sex for much of some of the above reasons. We can feel untrusting and cautious to the point of appearing defensive, when really most men are in need of our time and friendship. And nowadays, I hear the first thing either party may want to know about, is how your sexual organs perform — the size and capacity, the willingness to have sex on the first date. It’s hardly romance. And I wonder whether our younger generations even know what romance is? There’s so much porn available; is that their first perception of sex?
We need to put love back into our language. To flirt, fall in love, and be adventurous together. To make that one other person feel like a million dollars. To embrace all of the good things that life has for us by means of a sense of nurturing each other and going on silly dates. Or for those stuck in stagnant and dull routines, to rekindle your fires with one another and put the naughty back into bedtime. Even if that’s sharing ideas or a local pizza, it’s still togetherness. Little and often. Anything is effort. Though ‘stalking’ is not love. I may add at this point, as much as I love to write about romance, past attention from a nutter has never been less welcome. I have suffered great damage to my workplaces, car, garden and home.
Healthy loving that is consensual with two people who want to find peace and stability in their hearts is the answer to those who seek union. And with love we become better, healthier humans. We make wiser choices and we have less bad intention. Love is balance. When love becomes a wrangle, where there is turmoil and jealousy. We can only move forward and learn by our mistakes. Holding onto baggage is never the answer. And I wonder whether some of these people in the world who are spreading fear and hardship have ever loved at all. Or more likely, loved and lost. We can always love again. The world is full of new connections. New experiences. Only fear holds a fool back. Though most of all, ‘self love’ will stand with us eternally. And when we are in situations that make us doubt our own worth, don’t be afraid to close the door. There’s plenty more going on out there. Life’s a lesson. Learn it well. It is a great time to be alive.
We must remember ‘Legacy Media’, much of it wants to grow with us. Young people taking paths in journalism etc. It’s important to welcome that change and not let others influence the agenda into believing we are all at loggerheads with one another. There’s much positivity out there too. And individuals who work in media are posting their news across their social pages. Creating debate.
It all comes together as one big cake if we stop being angry. Gentle persuasion is more productive than arrogant meme’s and spiteful baiting. Think of the future, the next generation and how we as adults are perceived by attacking working sectors. We must encourage media journalism in all aspects and we must make any person who wants to work in those avenues feel inclusive and not belittled. There’s good and bad within all spectrums of news sharing. None of us are perfect by any standards!
Provoking a problem expands the most negative outcome. To choose friends wisely. A real mate won’t press buttons to start trouble on the doorstep, just to ‘get off’ on the aftermath. True friends/family will always want the best, above their own need for attention within any matter of goodness or indifference.
I will be leaving the X Platform. I have nothing to prove and nothing to gain. The nasty stuff, I don’t want in my thoughts. It was the very thing I tried to avoid. We must all stay in the positive light. Love is Stronger than Hate.
Tiffy Belle.
Lack of common sense will inevitably show huge problems ahead with huger immigration – innocent death and sheer greed without us ever establishing why any of this mass destruction had to start in the first place. Thank you mainstream press and scare mongering ‘tactics’ (gossiping) for what lies ahead. I am praying. And I suggest we all do the same as only God and his messengers can help us now. When people cannot sit down and talk with one another to find a solution. When the answer is violence – we are over. I bet Tony Blair is in his element today. TBH©
