please [Applause] [Music] d [Applause] yeah very nice very come coming you know sothing music for sure yeah it took me a long time to obviously I'm nervous now like to get over the nerves of actually playing in in public took a long time but uh I can do it now yeah well done well done and you said you started quite late when you were 20 years ago well well you were an adult already 10 years ago 10 years ago wow it's never I was in my yeah it's never too late I don't and you read you learn how to read music notes as well 10 years ago yeah start all started then yeah just through having the whistle and then getting books and it had musical notes in so just sort of all right Richard but for a long time I was just sitting in the street and I didn't I knew I didn't sound brilliant I me I'm okay now uh and you get you got a lot of negativity but in a way that just made me more determined and um and now now I feel it's really like and sometimes and really playing Tunes quite nicely sometimes so yeah you enjoy your music now yeah yeah yeah now it's that's a bonus in kind of been worthwhile like you know yeah all right Richard what tell me about yourself like about how you grew up

uh quite a few different places but I really I struggled with it cuz um I think obviously that was when I found out that uh I didn't really fit into the in the norm of you like well I mean just just a just a year ago um it's I got diagnosed with autism which is um is quite a spectrum like but that kind of made sense to the difficulties that I why I didn't really fit into mainstream Society because you you know you think you get neurotypical people and non neurotypic typical people uh and that's what I am I'm a non neurotypical person uh and the world is mainly set up for neurotypical people a lot you know so that expect that really did explain uh why I'm not I am I see so want recent you found out you're autistic and that explained why you were like feeling like you fit in to the world yes yeah why why I struggled in mainstream you struggle in mainstream Society yeah were you married and family no I had a I've had a um girlfriend a few girlfriends and that but never got married I see

in England yeah but yeah nor I think I also got tired of moving about really so when I ended up in nor I thought I I'll stay here now yeah and now what about the homeless people in norch are there a lot of homeless people here yeah just the same as any where else really um I don't really see many to be honest yeah I think you yeah you you probably will notice notice as you go around the the town here yeah all right all right Richard if somebody is watching this and would like to find out more about you about your music have you got any social medias no I don't I haven't got I don't do the

Meet Baren streets pirate -- lost an arm - still on streets - NORWICH, England

 All right folks we are in norch in East Anglia and we are talking to Baren who's been on the streets of of nor 67 years 6 seven years already




uh what happened to you to your arm my friend 196 6 I think it was or something um my arm got burned off basically long story not quite sure how it happened now I got B he's got mental health so why are we at here so you had an accident yeah a bike accident you were on a bike you would Dr right my arm got burned off basically long story not quite sure how it happened but uh ended up in hospital really forcing me to have injections and treating me the way they thought I should be treated um I came to next to a fireman who was dying got burned electrocuted or something uh then I ended up being one of the most intelligent people I lived on one of the roughest trailer sites in the country what about place called EAS Ross in menley um next to Cove place called Cove next to farm air show all right farmer air show no don't know that where they have all the air displays with the aircraft uh

anyway went to school like you do lived rough grew up like uh fighting and arguing all the time cuz it was a workers site at tackers and travelers and in that place where you grew up yeah Gypsies and all sorts cuz you say you've been born in Canada yeah and how old you've been when you came back I was four when I came here you well you you didn't come back you came to to England when you were four 9 years ago and your father is Canadian and your my father was a Bo Bell's man London Man London man in Canada I London here my my my father moved out to Canada oh they he moved out as well yeah all right with his father Baron tell me something about norch this is my first day in Norwich very controlling very controlling um not a lot a lot but there is if you behave yourself and you do what they want you to do then I suppose it's help but it's a very boring lifestyle very repetitive and very judgmental you mean that the police is is is kind of controlling all of it all of it they're all interconnected they're all on the comms we call it the comms because I'm ex Navy well I Mak a lot of things you I've done a lot of different things in my life um mostly protected people learned a lot of things when I was 13 years of age in 197 73 I was on Day released to two colleges I was going to a a secondary school they called a secondary school like a grown-up School mhm yeah not too bad not too bad yeah and uh but I was too intelligent for the school so they were sending me to two colleges as well so I was going to school I was going to one college and then I was going to another College every week at 13 that was 1973 right I was programming computers in 1973 73 you programmed you learn how to program computers already I was Electronics Electronics electrics electronics engineer okay all right so what went wrong in your life bar I got too clever nobody likes someone that's clever when you can do something before they think about they're doing it people don't like that because then they think that you are positioning them yeah they think that you're trying to make them do something but you're not you're just very clever you know and some people don't like that when you're that way and people don't understand you and you can see through them they don't like it no one can believe so what happened to you were working at that time yes I've done all kinds of work everything everything like what built computers Ro iron worker welder diver guns everything expert well not so much nowadays because things have changed so much but I know that all the theories I know how to make things better always don't know and when you tell people what the problem is and they don't listen because they think they're clever it makes the problem more complicated rather than cure it you know when you think you have all the cures then you don't because every problem has a different cure you understand I see so you were you weren't always the the the right person to to to give that answer no I was always the right person to give the answer the person that was asking the question didn't understand the answer right and how a bit yeah in a bit man you right yeah yeah all right and you know like in terms are you homeless well yeah because they made life so bad for me I had to give up my uh flat they gave me a nice flat I nice F but I wasn't free you know it was like being in prison but not in prison and every time I told them there was a problem they didn't listen because they wanted me to be the problem I see so in the end I said they can keep everything keep their money keep their flat keep everything I said I don't want to know so I went back to the street and you're sleeping on the streets I am now again you'all been sleeping on the street for weeks for weeks wow years for years now yeah in woods everywhere and is it always nor or you go to other places as well here because I got kicked out of Hampshire oh you you banned from Hampshire yeah you can't come back there they told me I I can't what did you do uh I fought for my family I stood up for my family and uh I fought against the authorities and people that thought they knew better because my family don't we barter yeah we trade things so you know a member of my family can become rich overnight just because he had something somebody else wanted trade Traders trade yeah like and they trade everything money uh Goods cars trucks you know so all of a sudden you can become rich overnight just because somebody wants something yeah when you're trading yes yeah even on the flip of a coin heads or tails ping look look what comes you're hungry oh bless you thank you here you go look a good Soul came in I only tell it the way it is all right Baron and uh well tell me about your education what schools did you finish and your your siblings your family how was that growing up motor mechanics um I've done coded welding pressure welding I built everything uh jcbs caterpillar engines boats everything everything and what about the Family Matters you've been married children no I've lost five women five of my partners died what five your partners died five women that I love very much and they died wow that's a bad Lu man what what happened to them they just lived hard you know bad luck bad they like a street people as well well nowadays the human race is living living in such a way they're creating problems you know with all the pollution it makes children born wrong or not wrong but you know it makes children mutate let's put it that way they're causing mutations within the genetic uh string have you is that the case no yeah this pollution is is hurting children so you reckon the human race is like in danger of well yes it's they're committing suicide slowly the human race committing suicide slowly yeah interesting Generations you can only poison something so long before you can't poison it anymore I see I know it's a Long View but it's been happening for hundreds of years and now it's getting to the point where it's unbalanced unbalanced right no balance anymore is that do do you read a lot cuz you seems to be quite of I know everything in the in the library I can pick you any book and read it I know the Bible back to front all right what you know I read something about the norch library about being like the biggest library in the area something it burned down a very small library because they don't understand what they have in there but did it burn down and and the people were like I don't know I don't know you don't know what happened cuz I just I I think nowadays uh there are telepaths there are people that can read minds they can read your mind they know by your emotion by the way you look by the way you behave what you are feeling or what you are or what you're wanting to do and by having that knowledge you become a slave you become a slave yeah because you're positioned like signs you know you see a sign like loga Zu You know that could be like Victory Leon on gang or getting gang education right Zone under police army or maybe provincial army or maybe political or maybe polish or maybe polish that's the Oney see you can read very well was it the accent or the name zupa the name zupa you know what it means um it's probably the name of the town no it means Z it's my nickname oh mean z basically it wouldn't take me long to work it out probably because it's similar z z I know polish I know Polish people there A lot of Polish people in this town yeah are there any homeless Polish people yeah there are polish homeless people you know some all right where can I find them well let me uh just loosen up a little bit and I'll maybe take you on our tour oh that would be great man introduce you to a few people yeah Baron that would be great they might not like the camera you know you don't like the camera maybe not they may not like well we ask them for permission if that's okay we may we may do something more because it seems to be like there's a lot of Polish people and they are homeless well you get the truth but then that's a lot of responsibility don't what I can take it my friend well maybe the the authorities might not like it all right well see how it goes but do you know anything about the medeval medieval know history everything everything was a because this town is do you know how they used to get a divorce in this town call their Mrs a witch and that's it they just call her a witch and then she'd be uh drowned and if she didn't drown then they'd burner all right that's no Christian all right that's interesting so that was a very like it's old time I I'm not just blaming norch for that because I think every country has had its bad times especially like the the the that period of of of of time yeah there was it was all over Europe the that kind of thinking and the The Witches were burned it was not just the UK I'm something they call a ghost warrior I know I can be there before you even knew I was there and back you had a c actor I must say I'm glad I met you you I'm 63 years of age maybe I'm 63,000 years of age who knows all right you think you've got the knowledge I don't I don't know how it began but I know how it's going do you know the end that's debatable we we we hope uh that the end is good all right and do you think a lot of these local people you know like local local homeless is a substance abuse problem here in norch not just that sometimes someone can become ill because of the way they're treated you know it's like if you're abused as a baby you never forget you reckon that the car on for the rest of your life if you feel homeless if you feel like you're orphan you never forget even if you're happy somewhere you're not happy because you know you shouldn't be there it's like if you get an alien crash land on this planet how would he feel lost probably but if you lived a different way and you have to work out a way to uh mix in to become part of the framework right imagine the suffering he would go through or hurt or it the entity I have two questions for you how big does intelligence have to be and what does it look like oh man I don't I wouldn't know the answers for these questions intelligence can be a thought in your mind is someone speaking to you or are you thinking it I see you understand me God you are a philosopher in a way you I'm the best philosopher in the world because I know what people are feeling and thinking before they even say it is that because you've spent years on the streets no because I spent years with nature with nature trees and insects I've been bitten by everything in the world I've had things call in and out of me I've had things call in and call out mhm mhm wow you're so spiritual Baron I try you are I try no that doesn't make me God and uh what your hobbies if you can say I read up on histories hisor of Polish Germans all everyone I know them all I know how they like history yeah it's taken a very long time everything on can you tell me a little in in like you know Short history of norch how it become a a city and I think Norwich is been involved in the slave trade in a slave trade I think so smuggling but then when you smuggle something you expect a payment that's no different to a slave what do they what did they smuggle here I know the East Coast everywhere smuggles it doesn't matter where you go everybody got their Smuggler everybody Poland of course Hungary Lithuania public Bureau you know it's this and that and everything Russia they all got their Smugglers you know Colombia Venezuela so was was a was involved in in tra in slave trade not necessarily but if you hold a carrot in front of a donkey what are you like you know the carrot and the donkey are the carrot you the slaver you Enslaved the donkey you Enslaved the donkey with a carrot all right so that was the the nature of the people in nor you reckon I think that was a nature of people all over the world to a degree to a degree well I think Norwich was a there's a lot of Agri culture here a lot of farmers was farmers in Norwich are very careful you know um North AB broads are very careful because in the north Brads they've got tunnels you know water tunnels in the north AB Brads and some of the best water tunnels in the world in not in this area in this area yeah what Farmers have water they things under the ground they don't know nothing about why did they build these tunnels um probably because they like the broad broads they like what the broads probably that's the reason why this town got built it's because of the nor broads all right is norch connected to the sea no norch is connected to like DOA um well you can you can sell a boat to by the canals to to the Sea up in Wales you got Scotland all around all right connected to the SE Piper Alpha Piper do you remember the or r no that's Scotland go yeah yeah yeah well I I I lived there for for many years G that's in Wales yeah I live there many years man I know back to and uh is there any advice to to people you would give who are about to to this country I'd say uh I'd say draw your lines and your circle be careful yeah no no problem oh that was nasty that was wasn't it see you got me so distracted still hour this is for the heroes for Your Heroes thank you let's see because you remember the Spitfire pilot in Poland do you remember that man I do yeah so what's the advice for the for the young people you would give those the Americans what would I say General ker died a brave man but he deserved what he got cuz he pulled the trigger too early who general kuster what did he do pulled the trigger too early with sitting ball so sitting ball surrounded him and poked his ears out with a stick all I didn't know that that that story and uh bar is there any if somebody's watching this and wants to help you is there any email address or contact for you get me out an orang yeah it's something like

Meet Christopher - is NORTHERN IRELAND in trouble?

 Ad hoc interview in a plane from Ireland to the UK. Christopher is a very wise man.

. . .

. Vlog in text: Folks we are here with an Irish man from Northern Ireland he's got very very interesting stories about uh the situation because being from Northern Ireland which is part of the UK it's um you still part of you still have the you can have Irish citizenship and don't have to have passport to to fly in and out but my friend what's your name Christoper Christopher was saying about uh the brexit situation and Northern Ireland going down here is yeah yeah like people who own businesses have you know discovered there's difficulties in getting items from Northern Ireland to Britain lots of red tape more legislation that they didn't have to deal with before and yeah I think people are also noticing things like in the Republic of Ireland productivity is much higher wages are much higher and I think more and more people in the North for look and we'd like a little bit of that so yeah I think people in like the middle ground who normally we're like you know we're unionists we're British or whatever even they are changing their opinions people in the middle like there will always be people you know who are very strong in their beliefs and they'll never change their mind you know they'll always be British the unionist yeah yeah and they they'll never change some of them but there are some people who are like maybe in the middle you can change their mind and I think some of them are are maybe now starting to think that it might be better if it was one country but I think it's I think it's a long way off yet I'd like to see it but I I don't think for many years it will happen well Scotland had a referendum for Independence would that be possible to happen Northern Ireland yeah so um the Secretary of State who is like the the government's the British government's representative in Northern Ireland he or she you know depending on who's there they are the person who can decide when a referendum happens and if they think that there's a possibility that a vote would result in a United isand they can decide okay we can have the vote but it's only their decision and you would have to have the the permission from London to give yeah absolutely yeah would they give you it it depends I think if things keep going the way that they've been going for the last few years it's a possibility like you never hear about referendum in Northern Ireland no because every time like even politicians here will say no we have to we have to calm down we don't want to see anything that could inside violence or upset people you know they're trying to be very diplomatic about everything which you know I can understand but um the situation the Scotland very interesting because um the British government allowed them to have that referendum and then if you look to Spain Catalonia or where Barcelona is they keep saying you know Britain allowed Scotland to have a referendum the Spanish government should allow us to have a referend and they never did and I think had they had a referendum in Catalonia it would have been much closer than Scotland my guess yeah yeah there they have such a strong economic case MH I know Scotland had a good case as well but I think people were afraid that was a shocker in it yeah I remember the Scots were like yeah we want freedom and then it's like no they didn't really want it want yeah then yeah Canada had a had a close one in the '90s to Quebec Province the difference was half a percent half a percent yeah to quec to become become independent yeah I think it was know that yeah I think it was in 1994 or '95 and they did the analysis of the votes they did some polling with people who voted and they found that it was actually immigrants who moved to Quebec wanted to stay in Canada you know they thought we want stability in this country that we've moved to we don't want to move to a place and then for it to change and become independent yeah was it was very close for them so right all right and um when you liveing so that was interesting that you know being from northern Island automatically can be British or Norther or Irish you can't is like you born than you British because absolutely but you you are allowed to have yeah so the The Good Friday agreement from 1998 which was like the pace between both sides oh my god there were lots of different things which came for that so like one of them was if there's a parliament then Belfast the government has to be one unionist and one Republican party they have to work together it can't be like a single party who runs the entire place so that was one of them another one was the the referendum issue so it was agreed from that that the secretary of state would have power to have a referendum but one of the other big things with citizenship that the British government and the Irish government would re nice that people in Northern Ireland because of the S situation actually could be Irish they could be British or they could be both you're allowed to have both mhm you know so yeah that's why like I think I was seven when I got my first passport so at that point that was after the agreement so I'm from Northern Ireland but I've only had Irish passports you don't have British passport British no so are you like what under you like you like like settle state is settle state or something like that I'm still like U still considered like in Northern Ireland you're still considered like a UK citizen because you're a resident there and you pay tax there but you know you're citizenship to Ireland is also recognized and okay I say respect it maybe some people don't respect it but most people do all right yeah aome yeah like we like for tax we fully pay into the to the UK system in Northern Ireland so like for me so I'm living in London now for me to move I didn't really need to you know to do anything in terms of like tax or whatever change my address but like you know I'm still paying into the same tax system for example and the healthc care system is the same also but so Christopher are you planning you said you planning to go back to Ireland was that the northern island or the Republic public enal I don't know I actually don't know because the the the environment you know for for jobs is much much better than the Republic and especially because I live so close to the Border like it's basically the same Journey for me to go to work in Dublin or Belfast uhuh so like the the industry that I work in um if you had a job in Belfast you would maybe get £30,000 a year in that job if you had the exact same job but you were in Dublin you could have 65 70,000 yeah yeah it's that big a hell of a difference yeah it's even even Northern Ireland to the rest of the UK it's much smaller now the thing about that is I've about that the cost of living is far less in Northern than the rest of the UK so the wages are much less I see yeah so it's a it's a strange strange situation yeah it's it's changing because of the brexit is is there's a difference there what do you because I I've done like interviews with homeless people you know the homeless situation in in in Ireland and and Britain do you see any difference in that um in duin it's particularly bad um it's been like uh in every general election in the Republic it's a huge issue you know basically housing and then the homeless problem is more for hasand as well a lot of people think that the government here haven't done their best to help out with with that problem but it's Al it's also quite bad in in Belfast and well all of Northern Ireland obviously but in Belfast it's quite bad as the pandemic was ending I lived in bast for about one year before I came to London and and what had happened was because the city center was so quiet during Co a lot of homeless people who were living to like on the margins of the city came in to the to the center of the city and I think a lot of people remark that they could see that the homeless problem was much much worse after Co than before but I think the problem was always the same I think the people just moved closer to the city center and were little more visible but again I think I think very little has been done in Northern Ireland about homeless also it's it's a huge huge problem and one of the problems that people don't really like talking about I think in all of our drugs and cocaine because that that's a severe problem one of the reasons why I think it isn't talked about is because wealthy people middle class people you know have the same type of cocaine habit as maybe people with less money have let seem maybe they don't want to confront the situation but like it's it's in every town every village whether it's rich areas or her are you living like in Northern Ireland Republic of Ireland and the UK you see like differences in how the government handles the the problem well I wish but we haven't had a government in Northern Ireland for 2 years so because um one of the agreements about brexit meant that there's a b the border that exists between the UK and Ireland is in the sea they did that to avoid like friction by having a border on the island they were afraid to you know provoke trouble or inside the islands so they put the Border in the sea and the British unionist parties in Northern Ireland left the government and folks we're just about to take off so I finish this interview with Christopher he been very very resourceful he's got the knowledge wish I met him before all right see you on you thank you Christopher very welcome thank you Vlog Vlog was a
