Genocide: the murder of a whole group of individuals, especially a whole nation, race, or species

​

At first the executioners tried gassing their victims but this proved to be an inefficient method of disposal. So the killing technique switched to a bullet in the back of the head, delivered by gunmen only too keen to participate in the baitings, clearances and round ups. The process of annihilation often took place at night to maximise the element of surprise and to heighten the sense of terror. The bodies were burnt afterwards. Initially the victims were killed in their hundreds, and then in their thousands, whole families disappearing as if they had never been.

​

The killing goes on to this day but it didn’t start in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. It began over a decade ago in England. Then as now the victim is a scapegoat for economic and political woes it has nothing to do with. It is a shy defenceless creature, the closest thing we have left to a wild bear. A trinity of such creatures should adorn our national flag. Instead their dead bodies are being wrapped in sacks, tarpaulins, or bin liners before being burnt or buried. This is the holocaust taking place in our countryside, while the population of Britain looks the other way. Only when it is too late will we remember our sense of compassion. Future generations will be ashamed of our indifference.
