Soft Toys Brought from America!

UK: Obama-Degenerate – Rahamim Shy – Jailed for Sexual Offenses Against Children! (1.2.2025)

Lorraine Telford, of the CPS, said: “Rahamim Shy is a predator who was fully prepared to commit unspeakable acts against a child for his own sexual gratification.

“It was clear from his explicit conversations and items he brought to England that he had only one intention, to commit rape against what he knew was a vulnerable child.

“The fact the child in this case did not exist makes no difference.”

Before the trial, the defence argued that because Shy was in the US at the time of the messaging, he was jurisdictionally exempt from prosecution, the CPS said.

However, the prosecution successfully argued English courts have the jurisdiction to try offences committed abroad that are intended to result in criminal offences in England.

He was found not guilty of possessing a prohibited image of a child.

Shy previously worked as a senior adviser for Pakistan and Afghanistan during the Obama administration.

When Radios Were Real!

UK: “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now!” Especially For Gee (from the Kids) – Remembering Spectrum Radio! (1.2.2025)

In the old days there was a thing called “Spectrum Radio” (I think on AM) that used to separate the 24-hour cycle into 24 different hours broadcasting music in languages different to English. I believe “Cantonese” (kind of our local Hong Kong language – despite being Hakka with a distinct language of our own) – was broadcast in the evening between 6pm – 7pm. In the early 1990s, I used to teach ethnic Chinese children English in the Sutton area. In the evening, our local Chinese community was much larger then than now – and we used to visit one another for dinner and a cup of tea. On occasion, and long before we were married, me and Gee used to listen to Spectrum Radio together – listening to contemporary (English) tracks rendered into Cantonese. Gee remembers “My Heart Will Go On” (Celine Dion) – the theme from the hit Movie “Titanic” – sang in Cantonese! Our children – Mei-An and Kai-Lin – have designed a post on this blog around our memories!

"National Agency for Blue Badge Fraud Investigations

UK: Emails Exposing the Far-Right “National Agency for Blue Badge Fraud Investigations”! (1.2.2025)

Furthermore, this firm takes great pride in “evicting” disabled people from their premises, aided and abetted by Local Councils, so that (and I’m quoting from their website) – “Homeless people can be housed in their place!” This is the bouncing of one vulnerable group off another for the entertainment of the mainstream. This firm “denies” that the Tories abolished Social Housing and that there is a lack thereof. Finally, the bad spelling and poor grammar on the website smirks of the poor education often associated with the far-right! Of course, Local Councils are notorious for using these kind of intimidatory tactics – so it only makes sense that they would use tax payer’s money to employ those with a limited enough educational background – so as to suffer no moral qualms!

Two Revolutionaries!

UK: From Workers’ Rights – All Other Rights Flow! (1.2.2025)

The problem is so bad that even gay groups side with the opinions of bourgeois reaction and attack the progressive record of the USSR. This is why I do not support “bourgeois” gay rights groups per se (although I do support gay people in general). This is because bourgeois gay people are class enemies who support predatory capitalism. On the other hand, I do support Revolutionary workers who might choose to identify as Socialists or Communists first and foremost – and who are also distinctive in their other self-perceptions (a small number of the original Bolsheviks are said to have been gay – with this being known to Lenin). The point is that fighting for bourgeois acceptance is not good enough – as it leaves all the injustices of capitalism in place. It is through the overthrow of capitalism that all other Revolutionary change will come. Just being bourgeois and gay is not good enough!
