Usual verbal diarrhoea from SB.

Had not seen this blog before but have been searching for more information about them. Read on……..after seeing their ad for an animal sanctuary and expressing interest I was turned down because I was not aligned with the owner Mr Callachers ideals which I still have no idea what they are ? I see now that they are placing ads in all the local news sources for people to come join them.
I also noticed that static caravans are now arriving there and a campsite is listed on their website,https://kindavillage.org/events/event/kinda-camping/
I have never seen a camping application submitted to the council, which if one was to exist would have been contested by their neighbours, I spoke to several neighbours who are irritated at the increased traffic on the local roads and the lack of interaction into the local community by the kindavillage. I am also curious as to how they are getting away with no increase in council taxes if they have many people living there? I will be following this closely from now on.

This is the prompt and a tad uppity reply I received from My Callacher and it’s clear he has taken nothing of what I wrote to him on board, “kindness is the language” apparently and “it has no boundary or historical attachment”, so colonialism is definitely the goal then. If anyone would like to enlighten him further, he is apparently happy for you to just “Ask”.

“Good day to you

Shame you never gave me your number or called me first, imy number is transparent as are my actions. I am totally unaware of any contentious feelings towards this project so thank you for that enlightenment.

If you wish to discuss the project with me and understand its intent please call me, you may even have a contribution in the creation of this challenging project, still on the drawing board!

I may be driving but anytime today is fine, the sooner the better will ease your tension and ill feeling

Just in case you wish not to call, please refrain from making such accusations of financial speculation……

Please reflect on Kindness being the language, it has no boundary or historical attachment. I am no expert in kindness or language I am just trying to make the best social impact i can with my life… a better life for those less fortunate, WITHOUT boundary. As sad and as suspicious it may seem, tMK is my life! I have no children, no wife, and very few attachments.

The community is one of our values, both locally and globally! We respect and develop community, not as a means to create cultural barriers but one for integration, sharing and support.

Clear your mind my friend, please call me 07889182924, ASK the questions and you will have no need to speculate further?

wishing you enough,

Hugh “

Sent this message to them, but I’m sure they will be in complete denial mode:

“To Mr Hugh Callacher

I am sure you have been made aware of the contentiousness of your project in Wales. There is no mention of a commitment to the Welsh language or culture in your “Kinda village” project, for instance, will your school be a Welsh Medium one?

I can see no evidence of how you intend to integrate your “Kinda village” into the local Welsh Community. In fact, your project sounds an isolationist one.

You say that your project is about “kindness”, but it actually comes across as arrogant and insensitive, as you haven’t understood the problems faced by the migration of English speakers to rural Wales and the cultural sensitivities this causes.

Given your lack of interest in Welsh Culture, this makes me suspicious of your real intentions around your building project. As a business Man, is your real intention speculation in disguise?”

Guessed as much. They specialise in litigation and are very very good at it.

You’ve got a salient point there, parents can have some odd ideas and values. But there’s a huge conundrum – if society as a whole doesn’t generally trust parents with their own children, who can be trusted?

There has been decades of ‘education’ directed at other peoples kids to try to protect or empower them regarding falling victim to abusers. When I was a child the messages were all about stranger danger – don’t get into a care with people you don’t know, don’t take sweets from strangers. A later generation was warned that ‘friends’ and family could also do things to children that they shouldn’t, so the emphasis became one of not keeping secrets. I think it was during this time that Rolf Harris was used in such education.

Parents make mistakes and parents can also be abusers, but we have moved into dangerous territory now in that in the UK, the state routinely does not trust parents to care for their own children. Hence teachers inspecting pupils lunchboxes – it is outrageous, most parents try to feed their kids properly and I doubt that the average teacher feeds their own kids less junk food than the parents who are not teachers.

The same attitude is shown towards breastfeeding and new mothers – the new mothers are not simply given information, discussion and then supported in a decision, there is usually someone telling them what to do and making them feel inadequate.

The degree of distrust shown towards parents – particularly working class parents – by groups of professionals is staggering and it is causing huge problems.

I don’t know that there is any fire-proof way of educating children about abuse. Vulnerable people by their nature are indeed difficult to protect and small children will always be vulnerable – how do you ’empower’ a small child? They are going to have to trust someone. In the 60s there was an erroneous belief that all parents were responsible and loving and as a result kids were abused by the minority of parents who weren’t – but society’s current default position of presuming that parents can’t be trusted to look after their own children is equally dangerous. As is the current feeling that men can’t be trusted around children, so we must make sure that a woman is present. Evidence suggests that male abusers utilise women as accessories – Myra Hindley, Rose West etc…

We must also remember that the ‘Welsh’ Government has prepared the ground well for these new arrivals, who are of course not the first.

To begin with, there’s the Hippy Charter in the One Planet project. Then there’s the Rural Communities – Rural Development Programme. Then throw in the rather vague-sounding Well-being of Future Generations.

But it still has to be funded. Much of the funding was taken from Welsh farmers in January 2014 when 15% of CAP funding was transferred from Pillar One (farmers) to Pillar Two (“rural development projects”). I wrote about a few of these issues here.

Of course Labour has nothing to lose electorally because in Wales farmers vote for other parties. But I still wonder whether these really were ‘Welsh’ Labour initiatives or whether they were passed down from London to the civil servants who run Wales and use Carwyn and his gang as mouthpieces.

If those behind Kinda Kolony are tuned in to this blog I’m sure they are getting a clear message that their activities will be very carefully scrutinised, particularly how their “social projects” are funded {and whether any funding is to be provided by Welsh Government} and the various “environmental permits” that will be required from regulators. They may end up having to complete more application forms than they currently anticipate. Perhaps they are already having second thoughts about setting up camp West of Offa’s Dyke.

Interesting to see WWOOF discussed on here. I cam across them years ago in the 70s when I was still a teenager and WWOOF was a hippy outfit. I grew up in a farming community and my father could barely believe that people were going to WWOOF and labouring on farms free of charge – in Somerset you got paid for that (although not very much). I came across WWOOF again last year and noticed that it had expanded and was now ‘international’. I had a look at a few of the adverts for UK ‘opportunities’ – what a bum deal they were. It was exactly what my father had noticed in the 70s – free labour. The ‘farms’ were described in terms of the hens, the goats, the dogs – but the work was bog standard labouring, digging the ditch, digging the pond, picking the spuds. The ‘accommodation’ was often a ‘shared caravan’. Some of the adverts stated that they wanted ‘fit young people with experience’ and one advert asked for ‘a pair of volunteers’.

So if you want to be grossly exploited, pop along to WWOOF. It didn’t occur to me that now its gone global it would be a people trafficking opportunity, but of course it will be.

Trailorboy – The land at Glanrhyd Y Pysgod would already have organic status being a trout and salmon fishery. There are restrictions in place to cover seepage into the Teifi. It would be, and continue to qualify for, Tir Gofal agricultural funding. The natural ‘crop’ of the holding would have been organic livestock, and it’s location affords pasture growth for 10 months of the year. Ideally, the holding could have been a very profitable free-range veil husbandry operation, but unfortunately, the Welsh Government are run by urban aspiring vegetarians who want to plough up cattle county to grow kale and quinoa with vast subsidies. They are diverting funds from the urban and rural poor to donate to the wealthy incomer lifestyle gurus.
