FEELING SAD

Time to give up ?

I am feeling fed up and disheartened. Should I give up my calling for Milton Keynes to be awarded a city charter as part of the Queen’s platinum jubilee ?  I have failed quite miserably to generate interest.

Today my letter to the member of Milton Keynes Council leading the call and heading the submission to Buckingham Palace should reach him. I really am not optimistic he will engage, that is just not the way with Milton Keynes Council. I am nervous about sending him a copy via e-mail but will do so tomorrow.

So should I stop and leave it there ? Leave it there and give up ?

What I would like to do is to start drafting my own presentation to Buckingham Palace and put that letter in the post week-beginning 2nd August. If I do that then my conscious is clear and I will have at least tried my best even if people have not given me their support.

Assuming Buckingham palace does accept my letter and does consider the former application from Milton Keynes Council the announcement as to city status will be made in February next year. If Milton Keynes does indeed become a city then I can start work on MILTON KEYNES THE CITY THAT TRULY IS. I would like to make this a vast collection of fly-on-the wall activities showing how normal people, not self-important politicians and those with over inflated egos go about what they do.

However, I am feeling sad right now as I have failed to gather support around me.

  LOCATIONS, LEGENDS, ICONS, HISTORY AND HERITAGE As I write this part of my presentation I will have to be careful and try to keep it   short !   I could actually write a book. I HAVE written a book, two books: Not The Concrete Cows published in 1991 and Milton Dreams The City That Never Was published   in 2020. Of all locations in Britain I think I would be right in saying nowhere can beat Milton Keynes for such a large number and wide diversion of legends. A legend ?   It could be true, it may be true, it doesn’t have to be true but it is the grain of truth within a legend and what it contributes to a legend that counts. Fenny Poppers – Saint Martins Church in Fenny Stratford Milton Keynes is the only church in the country with a firearms licence ! It needs this to store the gunpowder for the annual firing of Fenny Poppers. I am deeply honoured to have been invited to fire the poppers not once but twice. The poopers are fired on Leon Recreation Ground, a park given to the town

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all cities were like Miltyon Keynes. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Milton Keynes were a city.

2022 will be a year long celebration of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth taking the throne seventy years ago on 6 th February 1952. When it was time for her coronation in June 1953 I was there waving my flag along the route of the procession. Part of this palatium celebration will be to award a city charter to a local authority at present with a borough status. Among them is Milton Keynes from where a formal application I believe has been made. By the end of 2022 I will have established myself as the most prolific writer of e-books on Amazon but at this point in time I believe I am already the most prolific writer of words celebrating Milton Keynes from its birth as an idea in 1967 to the present day, indeed way back before 1967 to the earliest days of time. I believe Milton Keynes deserves city status but if we the citizens of Milton Keynes leave it up to the council and its political member there is more chance of a sparrow flying to the moon ! If Milton Keynes is to be a city then

DAY TWENTY-SEVEN:  Wednesday 27 th January 2021: Are we facing global annihilation ?   Is humanity on the verge of extinction ?   It could be. This pandemic is a bigger threat than any war man has fought against man. We have had two so called world wars but for neither was the whole world at war. If there had been a nuclear war not every square inch of the planet would have been in danger as we now are. Did you know that scientists in Russia are preparing for the virus to mutate into the animal population. Everything is far, far, far more serious than people believe it to be. The facts are just starting to emerge, some of the facts but not all of the truth, about what happened in China. Never in history has one nation done what China has done. Now we have the evil dictatorship of the European Union meddling dangerously with vaccination supplies and movement. Did you watch the Downing Street Briefing yesterday ?   What was it all about ? Why are we not locking down tighter to
