Blogger’s Note: A colleague contacted me enquire as to what is happening in the UK? It looks, from afar at least, that there is a central cast writer who has been tasked with producing a local and national script designed to create every single condition necessary for Reform UK to win the next election – and for Nigel Farage to become the UK’s next Prime Minister! The type of antagonistic headlines coming from the media – and the decisions spewing from 10 Downing Street – certainly do seem designed to clear all obstacles preventing a far-right political victory. This is like Oswald Moseley winning the 1935 UK election and clearing all the road-blocks to Hitler invading France and allying himself with England against the USSR – and anyone who opposed this far-right coalition.
Somehow the post-1945 UK governments have ditched and demonised Socialism – and managed to breed a whole new generation of young people drawn toward fascism. Yes – the spread of the British Army involved mass-murder on the one-hand – and mass-rape on the other, with the occasional consenting relationship thrown into the mix. In Hong Kong, for instance, the British Authorities outlawed “race-mixing” on the grounds that (according to them) neither community (the “White” British or the “Chinese”) would accept the off-spring of such interactions. Furthermore, the guidebook continued, the children of such couplings will forever be “confused” as to which race they belong. So there you have it. Confusion and alienation. In fact, young British soldiers routinely fell in love with local Chinese women – and many mixed-race babies were the result. The soldiers would then leave – and never see their lovers or children again. These children were brought-up as Chinese by the Chinese – and that was that. I suspect this model of British command and control was repeated all over the empire – as we can see here in Kenya – although this ruling is only the tip of the iceberg. As to whether there is any relations in this case to how slaves were treated – I cannot say. If ALL the descendants of British colonisers were brought to the UK – the current migrant crisis would pail in significance! ACW (4.10.2025)
Josephine Casserly BBC News and Ivana Davidovic BBC News –
Seven people from Kenya have won a case at the Family Court in London to prove they were fathered by British men working at an army base in their country.
Commercially available DNA databases were used to identify otherwise unknown fathers. Six had served at the British Army Training Unit in Kenya (Batuk) and one worked as a contractor.
It’s the first time paternity has been proved in this way in a UK court.
The decision opens the door for the offspring to apply for British citizenship.
They were represented by British lawyer James Netto, who – together with leading geneticist Denise Syndercombe Court – had taken part in a project to collect DNA samples and testimonies from people in the Nanyuki region of Kenya.
They encountered many people there who believed their fathers had served at nearby Batuk, the biggest British army base in Africa.
Publicly available DNA databases were then used to try to locate any family members in the UK.
One of the claimants, Peter Wambugu, told the BBC that he grew up knowing that his father was a British soldier, but said they had never met. The 33-year-old chef said he was bullied throughout his childhood for being mixed-race.
Peter said his mother told him that his father “was a good man”. He added: “She told me he said he will be back one day, but he never came.”
He has since been reunited with his father, who claimed he had no idea he had a son. After their first meeting, Peter told the BBC: “So all the pain that I’ve been carrying all these 30 years, all the discrimination I get from people, that pain has come out as joy.”
Another claimant who cannot be identified for legal reasons, said she met her father once at the age of four and then never again. She said that growing up without him was tough and that she “felt extremely abandoned”.
Reacting to the ruling, James Netto said: “For many families, today’s hearing marks the end of an incredibly difficult journey that for so long felt impossible. Children and young people who previously only had questions, now have answers.”
He said there were many more people near Batuk in a similar situation, and the next step was to tackle more difficult cases – those who had little or no information about their fathers or family members.
Andrew Macleod – a lawyer and campaigner involved in the DNA project – said he hoped that today’s case would encourage the Ministry of Defence to take on more responsibility for paternity claims made against Batuk servicemen.
The Ministry of Defence told the BBC that “while paternity claims against UK Service Personnel are a private life issue, the government cooperates with local child support authorities where there are claims relating to paternity”.
The BBC has been following this story over the last year as part of an upcoming five-part World of Secrets podcast.
