Five people have been arrested in Britain on suspicion of
holding two dozen men in squalid conditions against their will
and forcing them to work for no pay.
Police say four men and one woman were arrested on Sunday
in an early morning raid at a caravan site in Leighton Buzzard,
north of London, following a long-running investigation.
Those arrested remain in custody.
Twenty-four men, mostly of English
and eastern European backgrounds,
were freed and taken to a medical centre.
"The men we found at the site were in a poor state of
physical health and the conditions they were living in were shockingly
filthy and cramped," said Detective Chief Inspector Sean O'Neil.
"We believe that some of them had been living and working
there in a state of virtual slavery, some for just a few weeks and
others for up to 15 years."
More than 200 officers were involved in the early morning raid.

Six weeks to save the euro:
Chancellor's warning
after another day of financial turmoilBy James Chapman
Last updated at 12:25 AM on
24th September 2011
Comments (354)
World leaders were warned last night that they have just six weeks to save the euro from collapse.
On another day of gathering economic gloom, George Osborne savaged
eurozone leaders for failing to get a grip on their towering debts.
The Chancellor set a deadline of six weeks – when leaders of the G20 group
of leading countries will meet for crunch talks in France – for action.
Outrage: Protests spark in Thessaloniki over cuts imposed on Greece
He said: 'Patience is running out in the international community. There is a sense from across the leading lights of the eurozone that time is running out for them.
'The eurozone has six weeks to resolve this political crisis.'
Mr Osborne also signalled dramatic plans to prop up Britain's faltering
economy, opening the door for a rescue plan that would see the Bank of
England lend directly to struggling small businesses.
In other developments:
authorise another emergency injection of cash into the economy with a
second round of 'quantitative easing' – essentially, printing money.
As much as £300billion is expected to be flooded into the economy despite
the risk that it will push inflation still higher, increasing the cost
of living.
The Bank has already poured £200billion into the economy to try to bolster
growth, but there have been renewed calls for another dose of the
medicine.
Mr Osborne, in Washington, signalled that he is open to the idea of the
Bank ring-fencing some of the cash for direct loans to small or
medium-sized firms that are in urgent need of help to expand or simply
keep afloat.
Warning: Chancellor George Osborne has raised the possibility of the Bank of England lending to small businesses
The move would be a victory for the Daily Mail's Make the Banks Lend Campaign, which has highlighted the banks' refusal to provide credit to small businesses and demanded action
to help the lifeblood of the British economy.
The Chancellor said it was 'bad politics' that was leading to 'bad
economics' in the EU, insisting the continent must implement a package
of measures agreed in July to provide bailouts for foundering countries
in the single currency.
More...
bailouts for countries at risk of defaulting on their debts and sending shockwaves through the world's banking system, to be beefed up. 'I am not sure it is adequate,' he said.
Britain is also pushing the euro countries to move quickly to ensure banks in
the danger zone have more capital, to ensure they can withstand market pressures.
Mr Osborne refused to be drawn on whether Greece would be forced into a
debt default and a potential exit from the single currency, but revealed
that Britain has contingency plans to cope with such an outcome.
IMF chief Christine Lagarde said the challenge facing the world
'could not be more urgent'
'I have made it a priority for the Financial Services Authority and the Bank of England to make sure that the UK banking system is adequately capitalised and has sufficient
liquidity to deal with all eventualities,' he said.
He admitted that the growing international economic crisis would hit Britain, but flatly rejected calls to soften his deficit reduction plan.
'The UK is taking appropriate action,' he said. 'It is very clear what has
got to happen. We are sticking to the plan. We have got ahead of the
curve and have credibility.'
Michael Saunders, an economist at CitiBank, said he had halved growth forecasts
for Britain to 1 per cent this year and just 0.7 per cent next year.
He said he expected unemployment to rise from 7.9 per cent to 9 per cent,
which would bring the total close to the 3million who were out of work
in the 1980s.
Mme Lagarde warned again of 'downside risks on the horizon' for the global
economy and said developing economies must play a part in propping it
up.
The IMF boss said: 'There is growth.
The bad news is that it is slow growth. There are downside risks on the
horizon, and they are piling up. Negative feedback loop between weak
growth, weak banks, and what is very much perceived as weak political
commitment. This has led to a crisis of confidence.'
Echoing Mr Osborne's refrain about the need for deficit reduction in Britain,
she added: 'We are all in this together. There are dark clouds over
Europe and huge uncertainty in the U.S., and with that we could see
collapse in global demand.'
The FTSE 100 Index lost 5.6 per cent or £78billion from its value this
week, the second worst weekly fall this year, despite a last-minute push
which saw it close 0.5 per cent higher on the day yesterday.
America has lost patience with Europe
BY ALEX BRUMMER
The veteran U.S. monetary official did not mince his words in a private
conversation over dinner. 'America is very, very angry over what has
been going on in the eurozone.'
As the markets went into freefall over the last few days, the
deterioration in relations between the U.S. and the countries of the
single currency has become frightening.
The Americans believe that if the world were to tumble back into recession
or a prolonged depression, as looks increasingly likely, it would be the
euro area to blame.
Sell, sell, sell! Panic on Wall Street this week
All the hard work done in the U.S., Britain and other countries in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse three years ago – including the regime of record low interest
rates and pumping hundreds of billions of taxpayer pounds into the banks
and the economy – will have been wasted.
George Osborne has made clear that he believes the euro is in the last-chance
saloon. The crisis which began in Greece in early 2010 has been allowed
to fester for too long.
What is plain is that at an overnight emergency session of the G20 advanced
and leading emerging markets economies here in Washington, the euroland
leaders were read the riot act.
Up and down: The Dow Jones has fluctuated by
more than 6,000 points since President Obama took office in January
2009, hitting a low of 6,547 in the spring season of his first year
and a high of 12,811 earlier in 2011
They were made to recognise that the falls in share markets around the
world, which have impoverished tens of millions of savers and
pensioners, are fed by fear for future global prosperity and are not the
result of some Anglo-Saxon plot to bring down the single currency.
The reality is that months of appalling indecision, driven by some of the
mini-countries within the monetary union, had in fact underlined the
need for Germany and France to seize the political opportunity to bring
the crisis to an end.
The final deadline set by the G20 for sorting out the mess is the Cannes
G20 summit on the first weekend of November. That, if all goes well,
should see the formal launch of the European Financial Stability
Facility (of which Britain is not a part), a bailout fund that is
capable of rescuing Greece.
Up and down: The Dow Jones industrial average finished up 38 points, or 0.4 percent, at 10,771 today
Enlarge
Down: This graph shows how the Dow Jones industrial average has fluctuated over the past week
That may all seem hunky-dory. But in the world of fast-moving, testosterone-
and panic-fuelled financial markets, it looks a lifetime away. If shares were to
continue to fall at the mad pace of the last few days –
wiping out great chunks of the capital of Britain's major companies –
then all bets would be off.
The big lesson of the Great Depression of the 1930s is that governments
and central banks around the world were too slow to act.
Euro leaders claim they are victims of Parliamentary timetables which have
meant long delays in getting the bail-out fund up and running.
But investment managers, hedge funds, the big global banks and other market
participants have lost faith in the eurozone's will to act. The eurozone needs to
move to a war footing, by pumping new capital into its banks, and setting up a
rescue fund with the capacity to save Italy or Spain if it became necessary.
Britain cannot divorce itself from events given that up to 80 per cent of our trade
is with euro-area nations.
Without a eurowide rescue, the prospects of heading off a prolonged slump –
which will devastate every British household and business – will be remote.

Chancellor's warning
after another day of financial turmoilBy James Chapman

World leaders were warned last night that they have just six weeks to save the euro from collapse.
On another day of gathering economic gloom, George Osborne savaged
eurozone leaders for failing to get a grip on their towering debts.
The Chancellor set a deadline of six weeks – when leaders of the G20 group
of leading countries will meet for crunch talks in France – for action.
Outrage: Protests spark in Thessaloniki over cuts imposed on Greece
He said: 'Patience is running out in the international community. There is a sense from across the leading lights of the eurozone that time is running out for them.
'The eurozone has six weeks to resolve this political crisis.'
Mr Osborne also signalled dramatic plans to prop up Britain's faltering
economy, opening the door for a rescue plan that would see the Bank of
England lend directly to struggling small businesses.
In other developments:
- IMF chief Christine Lagarde said the challenge facing the world 'could not be more urgent';
- World markets remained dangerously volatile, with Britain's leading firms seeing £78billion wiped off their value this week;
- The G20 insisted it would take necessary steps to try to stop the eurozone crisis spreading;
- Debt-laden Greece admitted for the first time that an 'orderly default' was an option;
- Economists at the Royal Bank of Scotland predicted that Europe is falling back into recession.
authorise another emergency injection of cash into the economy with a
second round of 'quantitative easing' – essentially, printing money.
As much as £300billion is expected to be flooded into the economy despite
the risk that it will push inflation still higher, increasing the cost
of living.
The Bank has already poured £200billion into the economy to try to bolster
growth, but there have been renewed calls for another dose of the
medicine.
Mr Osborne, in Washington, signalled that he is open to the idea of the
Bank ring-fencing some of the cash for direct loans to small or
medium-sized firms that are in urgent need of help to expand or simply
keep afloat.
Warning: Chancellor George Osborne has raised the possibility of the Bank of England lending to small businesses
The move would be a victory for the Daily Mail's Make the Banks Lend Campaign, which has highlighted the banks' refusal to provide credit to small businesses and demanded action
to help the lifeblood of the British economy.
The Chancellor said it was 'bad politics' that was leading to 'bad
economics' in the EU, insisting the continent must implement a package
of measures agreed in July to provide bailouts for foundering countries
in the single currency.

all were hit in September. So is history about to repeat itself? - Balls 'sexed up Treasury forecasts to inflate public spending beyond sensible levels,' say ex-colleagues
bailouts for countries at risk of defaulting on their debts and sending shockwaves through the world's banking system, to be beefed up. 'I am not sure it is adequate,' he said.
Britain is also pushing the euro countries to move quickly to ensure banks in
the danger zone have more capital, to ensure they can withstand market pressures.
Mr Osborne refused to be drawn on whether Greece would be forced into a
debt default and a potential exit from the single currency, but revealed
that Britain has contingency plans to cope with such an outcome.
IMF chief Christine Lagarde said the challenge facing the world
'could not be more urgent'
'I have made it a priority for the Financial Services Authority and the Bank of England to make sure that the UK banking system is adequately capitalised and has sufficient
liquidity to deal with all eventualities,' he said.
He admitted that the growing international economic crisis would hit Britain, but flatly rejected calls to soften his deficit reduction plan.
'The UK is taking appropriate action,' he said. 'It is very clear what has
got to happen. We are sticking to the plan. We have got ahead of the
curve and have credibility.'
Michael Saunders, an economist at CitiBank, said he had halved growth forecasts
for Britain to 1 per cent this year and just 0.7 per cent next year.
He said he expected unemployment to rise from 7.9 per cent to 9 per cent,
which would bring the total close to the 3million who were out of work
in the 1980s.
Mme Lagarde warned again of 'downside risks on the horizon' for the global
economy and said developing economies must play a part in propping it
up.
The IMF boss said: 'There is growth.
The bad news is that it is slow growth. There are downside risks on the
horizon, and they are piling up. Negative feedback loop between weak
growth, weak banks, and what is very much perceived as weak political
commitment. This has led to a crisis of confidence.'
Echoing Mr Osborne's refrain about the need for deficit reduction in Britain,
she added: 'We are all in this together. There are dark clouds over
Europe and huge uncertainty in the U.S., and with that we could see
collapse in global demand.'
The FTSE 100 Index lost 5.6 per cent or £78billion from its value this
week, the second worst weekly fall this year, despite a last-minute push
which saw it close 0.5 per cent higher on the day yesterday.
America has lost patience with Europe
BY ALEX BRUMMER
The veteran U.S. monetary official did not mince his words in a private
conversation over dinner. 'America is very, very angry over what has
been going on in the eurozone.'
As the markets went into freefall over the last few days, the
deterioration in relations between the U.S. and the countries of the
single currency has become frightening.
The Americans believe that if the world were to tumble back into recession
or a prolonged depression, as looks increasingly likely, it would be the
euro area to blame.
Sell, sell, sell! Panic on Wall Street this week
All the hard work done in the U.S., Britain and other countries in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse three years ago – including the regime of record low interest
rates and pumping hundreds of billions of taxpayer pounds into the banks
and the economy – will have been wasted.
George Osborne has made clear that he believes the euro is in the last-chance
saloon. The crisis which began in Greece in early 2010 has been allowed
to fester for too long.
What is plain is that at an overnight emergency session of the G20 advanced
and leading emerging markets economies here in Washington, the euroland
leaders were read the riot act.
Up and down: The Dow Jones has fluctuated by
more than 6,000 points since President Obama took office in January
2009, hitting a low of 6,547 in the spring season of his first year
and a high of 12,811 earlier in 2011
They were made to recognise that the falls in share markets around the
world, which have impoverished tens of millions of savers and
pensioners, are fed by fear for future global prosperity and are not the
result of some Anglo-Saxon plot to bring down the single currency.
The reality is that months of appalling indecision, driven by some of the
mini-countries within the monetary union, had in fact underlined the
need for Germany and France to seize the political opportunity to bring
the crisis to an end.
The final deadline set by the G20 for sorting out the mess is the Cannes
G20 summit on the first weekend of November. That, if all goes well,
should see the formal launch of the European Financial Stability
Facility (of which Britain is not a part), a bailout fund that is
capable of rescuing Greece.
Up and down: The Dow Jones industrial average finished up 38 points, or 0.4 percent, at 10,771 today
Enlarge
Down: This graph shows how the Dow Jones industrial average has fluctuated over the past week
That may all seem hunky-dory. But in the world of fast-moving, testosterone-
and panic-fuelled financial markets, it looks a lifetime away. If shares were to
continue to fall at the mad pace of the last few days –
wiping out great chunks of the capital of Britain's major companies –
then all bets would be off.
The big lesson of the Great Depression of the 1930s is that governments
and central banks around the world were too slow to act.
Euro leaders claim they are victims of Parliamentary timetables which have
meant long delays in getting the bail-out fund up and running.
But investment managers, hedge funds, the big global banks and other market
participants have lost faith in the eurozone's will to act. The eurozone needs to
move to a war footing, by pumping new capital into its banks, and setting up a
rescue fund with the capacity to save Italy or Spain if it became necessary.
Britain cannot divorce itself from events given that up to 80 per cent of our trade
is with euro-area nations.
Without a eurowide rescue, the prospects of heading off a prolonged slump –
which will devastate every British household and business – will be remote.

Who am I sexually attracted too?...mind your business.

Ciggy's niece is 18, lunatic.
Well, don't bitch at me, it's your partner in

'what child is too young and too related to fuck',
'Billy Ruben', who declared
he lost interest in his niece when she turned 17.
I was going to threaten your life on this post...even felt like carrying it out.I'm really good at what I do.
I can understand why people want to bash you senseless and why you drive people to do it.You hate yourself so much,you'd loved to be killed off,just so you don't have to tolerate yourself no further.
Fuck You slag...and I mean that.
Sam can't have sexual intercourse anymore,did you know that,filthbag.Do you know why I buy pot every fortnight,so it lowers her pain that we can have a little fun.She even told me to find a lover,fucktard,she just does'nt want to know...and I don't like the guilt,cause I just want her,shitbag.I did'nt tell the forum that,cause of the way liars like True Lilly and JD/John Drake,lie and twist the truth for their own satisfaction.
My niece is a beautiful,slightly niave (Not anymore I'd say) innocent young lady that did'nt know what she was feeling.And wrong,you evil slut,I'd be more interested in my niece as she grows older...not younger.My last two lovers,was over 53,one I liked,the other I blew in 45 seconds,twice,to get away from her,new age fucktard,as delusional and a liar like you.And I just met two mid twenties women in East Maitland who'd like a little male in their lesbo action...fuckyou,I'm going to suck the both of them off as C jacks me off over both their tits...and I'm going to love it.No cum in pussy,I'm not stupid.
Even you know this is a pathetic lie you sprout,so desperate.And when I post your PM for Ciggy and all to see how you fucked over your own for the love of God,I'm sure people will get the message,how fucked in the head you are.
And I just released this information,just to fuck you up...and show,that at least,I'm not afraid of the truth about ourselves.Where others may think I'm joking about your beastiality during your teens...NO,I FUCKING MEAN IT...I'VE MET THE REAL DEALS...AND THEY SOUND LIKE YOU,COMPLETE LIARS ABOUT OTHERS SEXUALITY TO COVER FOR THEIR OWN DEVIOUS SICKNESS,YOU SUZY RYAN,PREFER DOG-KNOT,THAN THE COMPANY OF MEN...FUCK YOU

Here's my little secret you always fail...you never admit you're wrong...You know,instead of ruining all my work with Reptiles and Occults,when I was wrong,I admitted my shortness of knowledge on the subject,still do,I know a percentage of "their stuff"...which is more than most ever do...but,the souls path,kharma,action and consequences...I'm very good at...I never wanted this fight with you Suzy...

Lies,I hate...I did lie in that Tiswas thread,but admitted to doing it,before I did,I announced my intention to lie...not much of a liar,am I.
One lie,cost me 4 years,of feeling like shit,cause I should've spoke up for the 10 year old girl...I did'nt,cause I knew both parents...scum of the Earth...Cops would probably talk the kid into framing me...So it was violence or nothing.Colin was my boss,friend,but know him well,go him violence,same with me,you better do the job there and then.
I had no choice in the end...

September 12, 2011 - 6:03AM
Five people have been arrested in Britain on suspicion of
holding two dozen men in squalid conditions against their will
and forcing them to work for no pay.
Police say four men and one woman were arrested on Sunday
in an early morning raid at a caravan site in Leighton Buzzard,
north of London, following a long-running investigation.
Those arrested remain in custody.
Twenty-four men, mostly of English
and eastern European backgrounds,
were freed and taken to a medical centre.
"The men we found at the site were in a poor state of
physical health and the conditions they were living in were shockingly
filthy and cramped," said Detective Chief Inspector Sean O'Neil.
"We believe that some of them had been living and working
there in a state of virtual slavery, some for just a few weeks and
others for up to 15 years."
More than 200 officers were involved in the early morning raid.

Well shitbag?...I'm sure a twisted sickfuck like you can read anything into this PM.But what Ciggy was chatting about,was that his niece has come along way,from being a petty thief and fool,into a young,vibrant lady,who used effort,to transform and remodel herself,from a stupid little girl,into an upright,clear headed young woman.The Photos made her look,24-27,I was the one attracted to her and was most respectful to Ciggy and niece about it.I can't help it,cause she's the type I go for.Now here's the other thing,dipshit,Ciggy and I are having synchronicities in life.
We just go about it differently...and talk about our experiences.
Here's the other thing,Ciggys and my niece look similar.But Ciggys niece,is more formed as a person,my little niece,is waking up to women feelings and is under suppression from her fuckwit parents who LIE to her to keep her under control,Just like you did to your own,arsehole.The spam I used is the truth,sucked in...and I will use it,no matter what anyone says.

I was going to threaten your life on this post...even felt like carrying it out.I'm really good at what I do.
I can understand why people want to bash you senseless and why you drive people to do it.You hate yourself so much,you'd loved to be killed off,just so you don't have to tolerate yourself no further.
Fuck You slag...and I mean that.
Sam can't have sexual intercourse anymore,did you know that,filthbag.Do you know why I buy pot every fortnight,so it lowers her pain that we can have a little fun.She even told me to find a lover,fucktard,she just does'nt want to know...and I don't like the guilt,cause I just want her,shitbag.I did'nt tell the forum that,cause of the way liars like True Lilly and JD/John Drake,lie and twist the truth for their own satisfaction.
My niece is a beautiful,slightly niave (Not anymore I'd say) innocent young lady that did'nt know what she was feeling.And wrong,you evil slut,I'd be more interested in my niece as she grows older...not younger.My last two lovers,was over 53,one I liked,the other I blew in 45 seconds,twice,to get away from her,new age fucktard,as delusional and a liar like you.And I just met two mid twenties women in East Maitland who'd like a little male in their lesbo action...fuckyou,I'm going to suck the both of them off as C jacks me off over both their tits...and I'm going to love it.No cum in pussy,I'm not stupid.
Even you know this is a pathetic lie you sprout,so desperate.And when I post your PM for Ciggy and all to see how you fucked over your own for the love of God,I'm sure people will get the message,how fucked in the head you are.
And I just released this information,just to fuck you up...and show,that at least,I'm not afraid of the truth about ourselves.Where others may think I'm joking about your beastiality during your teens...NO,I FUCKING MEAN IT...I'VE MET THE REAL DEALS...AND THEY SOUND LIKE YOU,COMPLETE LIARS ABOUT OTHERS SEXUALITY TO COVER FOR THEIR OWN DEVIOUS SICKNESS,YOU SUZY RYAN,PREFER DOG-KNOT,THAN THE COMPANY OF MEN...FUCK YOU

Sod/Jewlian supported you for more than a year.He endorses your threads,he adds good conversation to your knowledge,despite the Punkrock and a little social drug taking,that could get out of control (listening there old boy),he digs Jesus and God.So do you,in a special way.

There's a bear in their house
10:26AM
NewsCore
A MAN and woman are being treated for injuries
after fighting off a black bear
that broke into their Pennsylvania home.
Richard and Angela Moyer let their dog out
around 4am Monday (local time),
and when their canine companion returned,
it led a bear into their Oliver Township house,
according to The Patriot-News.
"It is most likely this bear was in hot pursuit of the dog,"
Pennsylvania Game Commission spokesman Jerry Feaser told the paper.
RichardMoyer was bitten and scratched by the bear.
His wife tried to chase the bear off and "it turned on her as well," Feaser said.
He did not specify the woman's injuries.
Feaser said bears and dogs were mortal enemies
but it was unusual for bears to enter houses.
He told the paper, "In most reports of bear, human contact,
in the vast majority of the cases there is a dog involved."
Wildlife officials were trying to locate the animal,
which likely will be euthanised and tested for rabies.

Bear euthanised after park maulings
by:From correspondents in Billings
From:AP
October 04, 2011 11:53AM
A GRIZZLY bear that fatally mauled a hiker in Yellowstone National
Park has been killed after DNA evidence linked the animal to the scene
of a second hiker's death.
Superintendent Dan Wenk said today the decision to euthanise
the 113kg female bear was meant to protect park visitors and staff.
But park officials said they may never know definitively whether the same
bear that killed Brian Matayoshi in July also killed John Wallace in
August.
Evidence showed multiple bears, including the sow, near Mr
Wallace's body - but not whether the sow made any contact with Wallace.
The
sow bear was allowed to remain free after Mr Matayoshi's death because
park officials said it was reacting naturally to defend its two cubs.
"We made a decision at that time, based on all the information available,
that we did not have a bear with a history or a bear that was
demonstrating any predatory nature," park spokesman Al Nash said.
There were no witnesses to Mr Wallace's killing in Yellowstone's Hayden Valley, about 13km from where Mr Matayoshi was killed.
The mauling occurred in a backcountry area frequented by bears, and signs
posted along trails warned visitors to carry mace-like bear spray as a precaution.
By the time Mr Wallace's body was found by other hikers a day after the mauling, one or more bears had fed upon his body,Mr Nash said.
But authorities couldn't determine from the evidence whether the sow bear "attacked Mr Wallace or came upon the scene subsequent to the attack, but we certainly know the bear was at the scene", he said.
The sow bear was linked to the scene through DNA analysis of hair and scat samples found in the "immediate proximity"of Wallace's body, Mr Nash said.
The two cubs were captured and taken to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone.
In the immediate aftermath of Mr Wallace's death, park officials said that
they did not believe the responsible grizzly was the same one that had
killed Mr Matayoshi because they found no cub tracks on the scene.
Investigators now believe those tracks might have washed away in a rain storm that
went through the area before Mr Wallace's body was discovered.
The deaths of Mr Matayoshi and Mr Wallace were the first by a bear inside the park in a quarter-century. Two fatal maulings occurred just outside the park in 2010.
An estimated 600 grizzlies live in the greater Yellowstone area, which includes parts of Wyoming, Montana and Wyoming. A recent report showed run-ins between humans and that growing bear population reached record levels last year, with 295 conflicts recorded
by researchers.

Turn right at the polar bear

Colourful timber pre fab houses in Longyearbyen, Norway.
Picture: Anthony Dennis
I'M loitering in the lobby of the Radisson Blu Polar Hotel in
Longyearbyen, the northernmost town in the world, vainly trying to
secure an internet connection, when a guest approaches the front desk to
ask directions to the lavatory.
"Turn right at the polar bear," says a female desk clerk, straight-faced.
I laugh.
Only here would you overhear such directions.
Sure
enough, just near the loos, there is a massive bear erect on its hind
legs and complete with tell-tale off-white fur (the original polar
fleece) and large black shiny snout.
Elsewhere in this austere,
pre-fabricated Norwegian town of less than 2,000 isolated souls, there's
a sign outside a souvenir shop, in what constitutes the main street
which reads, "All the polar bears in this shop are dead.
Please leave your weapons with the staff." I laugh at the sign, too.
But
a month or so after my return from my luxury, 15-day cruise to the
Arctic aboard the Crystal Serenity, I read of a polar bear attack in the
same Norwegian archipelago in which Longyearbyen is located.
Related Coverage
the Arctic summer, had been tragically killed by a polar bear
(eventually felled by a gun-shot) after it entered his tent early one
morning.
This is the habitat of one of the world's largest polar
bear populations with the protected creatures only able to be killed in
self-defence.
It's the perfect place for polar bears since 60 per
cent of the archipelago named Svalbard, with its most famous island
being Spitsbergen is covered with ice, glaciers and seas teeming with
fish. In winter temperatures can dip to near 50 degrees below Celsius.
Longyearbyen,
named after an American, John M. Longyear who founded the Arctic Coal
Company here in 1906, is not only the administrative capital of what is
Norway's equivalent of the Australian outback.
It's also a major base for departing summer adventure expeditions which include dog-sledding and kayaking tours.
Beyond
the main settlements, mountain hikers are obliged to carry a rifle in
the event of a polar bear attack, which even before the recent incident
were not unknown.
At night hikers are required to install
trip-wires around their camp, which if activated by an intrusive polar
bear, are meant to launch flares, thereby alerting the campers and, in
theory, scaring away the bears.
Tragically the system didn't work
for the young British camper, and a number of his friends who were
seriously injured in the ferocious attack.
Yet as long as you don't stray beyond the town it's all perfectly safe to be here.
Happily,
I do have the sanctuary not of a tent but the Crystal Serenity, my home
for the duration of my "North Cape Panorama" cruise to the North Pole.
It's waiting for me and its other passengers at Longyearbyen's wharf, well within the polar bear exclusion zone.
The cruise that had taken us on an adventure deep into the Arctic Circle began in Copenhagen and will conclude in Stockholm.
I
feel as though I'm living in a parallel universe aboard this ship,
which is only its second voyage since a major, multi-million dollar
refurbishment in Hamburg.
I am, after all, passing through one of
the harshest environments on earth but the Crystal Serenity which has a
capacity for a rather manageable 1,000, or so, passengers is blessed
with virtually every modern indulgence.
There's even a
fully-fledged Nobu sushi bar aboard, for goodness sake, and a proper,
Italian-style caf aac serving cappuccinos and biscotti, on demand.
I
am also able to spot Beluga whales which make generous cameo
appearances above the forbidding surface of the Arctic Ocean as I dine
on fine Italian cuisine in one of the ship's upmarket diners.
Here
in the Arctic Circle we in the midst of the "Land of the Midnight Sun",
characterised by perpetual daylight 24-hours a day throughout the
course of the relatively brief summer.
In winter, the opposite occurs with the Arctic for months plunged into an uninterrupted, depressing darkness.
The
only downside is that the unceasing light seeps through the gaps in my
stateroom curtains, partially illuminating the suite right through the
wee sleeping hours. No matter. I don the eye-mask that I bought for the
long-haul flight from Australia to Scandinavia for this trip.
Before
we arrived in Longyearbyen, after a number of days at sea without
stopping at a port, the Crystal Serenity had delivered us right to the
ragged edge of the drifting ice-pack of the polar ice cap.
Blue-tinged
floating shards lay before us and beyond is a misty white nothingness
extending all the way to the North Pole itself.
Unlike Antarctica,
which is a true land-mass, there are no mammoth ice-bergs here in the
Arctic, just floating chunks of ice under which a submarine can pass.
Poles apart indeed.
Further
south, we visit Nordkapp, or North Cape, the northernmost tip of the
European continent which looks out into the Arctic Ocean.
There,
on the road to North Cape, we pass herds of squat, antler-less,
reindeer, enjoying what passes for summer in these frigid parts.
En
route we also stop at a touristy, though interesting, camp belonging to
family of Sami, the indigenous people who extend across the Arctic.
The
road to North Cape is full German motorcyclists ready to tuck into
reindeer hot dogs (a North Cape speciality) at the visitors' centre.
They've ridden here all the way from southern Italy in a kind of Euro Route 66 odyssey.
Honningsvag,
the nearest and only town near Nordkapp, is home to about 5,000 people
and claims to be the northernmost town in the world since it dismisses
Longyearbyen as being too tiny to qualify as a town.
Whatever the case, competition to be the "northernmost" something, or anything, around here is intense.
Back
in Longyearbyen, I wander around a terrain denuded of vegetation and
classed as an "Arctic Desert", on a balmy, 10 degrees Celcius summer's
day.
I'm surrounded by stark, snow-streaked chocolate-coloured
mountains set in a fjord a far cry from the less harsh, more familiar
ones through which visited in the lusher, more temperate south of Norway
earlier in the luxury cruise on its way to the Arctic.
By the
time Crystal Serenity is due to embark for our journey along the
spectacular, snowy Svalbard coastline and then south back towards
mainland Norway and on to Stockholm, I leave a little disappointed that I
didn't manage to shoot a live polar bear.
I mean, with my Nikon, that is.
But
I do manage to get a snap of an automatic teller screen at the local
bank in the main street. It flashes the words in English, "Welcome to
the World's Northernmost ATM."

the main settlements, mountain hikers are obliged to carry a rifle in
the event of a polar bear attack, which even before the recent incident
were not unknown.
At night hikers are required to install
trip-wires around their camp, which if activated by an intrusive polar
bear, are meant to launch flares, thereby alerting the campers and, in
theory, scaring away the bears.
Tragically the system didn't work
for the young British camper, and a number of his friends who were
seriously injured in the ferocious attack.
Yet as long as you don't stray beyond the town it's all perfectly safe to be here.
Happily,
I do have the sanctuary not of a tent but the Crystal Serenity, my home
for the duration of my "North Cape Panorama" cruise to the North Pole.
It's waiting for me and its other passengers at Longyearbyen's wharf, well within the polar bear exclusion zone.
The cruise that had taken us on an adventure deep into the Arctic Circle began in Copenhagen and will conclude in Stockholm.
I
feel as though I'm living in a parallel universe aboard this ship,
which is only its second voyage since a major, multi-million dollar
refurbishment in Hamburg.
I am, after all, passing through one of
the harshest environments on earth but the Crystal Serenity which has a
capacity for a rather manageable 1,000, or so, passengers is blessed
with virtually every modern indulgence.
There's even a
fully-fledged Nobu sushi bar aboard, for goodness sake, and a proper,
Italian-style caf aac serving cappuccinos and biscotti, on demand.
I
am also able to spot Beluga whales which make generous cameo
appearances above the forbidding surface of the Arctic Ocean as I dine
on fine Italian cuisine in one of the ship's upmarket diners.
Here
in the Arctic Circle we in the midst of the "Land of the Midnight Sun",
characterised by perpetual daylight 24-hours a day throughout the
course of the relatively brief summer.
In winter, the opposite occurs with the Arctic for months plunged into an uninterrupted, depressing darkness.
The
only downside is that the unceasing light seeps through the gaps in my
stateroom curtains, partially illuminating the suite right through the
wee sleeping hours. No matter. I don the eye-mask that I bought for the
long-haul flight from Australia to Scandinavia for this trip.
Before
we arrived in Longyearbyen, after a number of days at sea without
stopping at a port, the Crystal Serenity had delivered us right to the
ragged edge of the drifting ice-pack of the polar ice cap.
Blue-tinged
floating shards lay before us and beyond is a misty white nothingness
extending all the way to the North Pole itself.
Unlike Antarctica,
which is a true land-mass, there are no mammoth ice-bergs here in the
Arctic, just floating chunks of ice under which a submarine can pass.
Poles apart indeed.
Further
south, we visit Nordkapp, or North Cape, the northernmost tip of the
European continent which looks out into the Arctic Ocean.
There,
on the road to North Cape, we pass herds of squat, antler-less,
reindeer, enjoying what passes for summer in these frigid parts.
En
route we also stop at a touristy, though interesting, camp belonging to
family of Sami, the indigenous people who extend across the Arctic.
The
road to North Cape is full German motorcyclists ready to tuck into
reindeer hot dogs (a North Cape speciality) at the visitors' centre.
They've ridden here all the way from southern Italy in a kind of Euro Route 66 odyssey.
Honningsvag,
the nearest and only town near Nordkapp, is home to about 5,000 people
and claims to be the northernmost town in the world since it dismisses
Longyearbyen as being too tiny to qualify as a town.
Whatever the case, competition to be the "northernmost" something, or anything, around here is intense.
Back
in Longyearbyen, I wander around a terrain denuded of vegetation and
classed as an "Arctic Desert", on a balmy, 10 degrees Celcius summer's
day.
I'm surrounded by stark, snow-streaked chocolate-coloured
mountains set in a fjord a far cry from the less harsh, more familiar
ones through which visited in the lusher, more temperate south of Norway
earlier in the luxury cruise on its way to the Arctic.
By the
time Crystal Serenity is due to embark for our journey along the
spectacular, snowy Svalbard coastline and then south back towards
mainland Norway and on to Stockholm, I leave a little disappointed that I
didn't manage to shoot a live polar bear.
I mean, with my Nikon, that is.
But
I do manage to get a snap of an automatic teller screen at the local
bank in the main street. It flashes the words in English, "Welcome to
the World's Northernmost ATM."

Like I've mentioned, if I post it, it's worth paying attention to, and,
like I've mentioned, when I started this thread, there were not, nearly
5000 "BEAR" stories in the news...
