It is Lawful to Protest Israeli Genocide in Gaza!

Jewish Voice for Labour: The “Canterbury Roundabout Incident” & Protest Letter to Kent Police! (17.7.2025)

We would like to round off this letter by reminding Kent Police of their ethos of policing by consent. Set out in the Peelian principles, Kent Police are obliged to uphold ‘absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws’. The law, as set out above, cannot sustain arrests based on Palestinian solidarity, or anti-Israeli feeling, alone. As such, regardless of any orders or sentiment that may have been communicated by the government, arrests made on these bases cannot be justified. Impartial adherence to law demands lawful Palestine protests be treated as such and we demand the police adhere to this premise in their future policing of Palestine protests.

Major-General Patrick Cleburne - CSA

CSA: Patrick Cleburne – the Irish Private that Rose to Major-General – and Called for the Freeing of the Slaves in the South! (17.7.2025)

As a “British” citizen, Patrick Cleburne joined the 41st Infantry Regiment of Foot of the British Army (serving between 1846-1849) rising to the rank of “Corporal” (and NCO signified by two-chevron stripes worn on the upper-shoulder – pointing-down). He served in the Garrison of Spike Island, situated in Cork Harbour. Here, the British Authorities brutally “processed” ethnic Irish prisoners – and Cleburne got to learn first-hand what anti-Irish racism was really like. Due to this experience, he eventually emigrated with his family to the United States, and was accepted with open arms by the people of Arkansas. He was not interested in preserving slavery and certainly did not own any slaves himself. As he appreciated the kindness of the Southern people – he decided to enlist as a “Private” soldier in the “Yell Rifles” – a local Militia in Arkansas. As these local grass-roots Confederate Units were entirely democratic in nature, all NCOs and Officers were elected by popular vote. This is how Cleburne was elected to the rank of “Captain”. Quite extraordinarily, when the Local Militias and Guards Unit were reformed with many being integrated into Infantry Regiments proper that constituted the Confederate States Army – Patrick Cleburne rose through the ranks to Major-General (CSA).

Chinese, Guyanese doctors jointly treat traffic victim!

Guyana: Socialist Medicine Sees Chinese & Guyanese Doctors Jointly Treat Traffic Victim! (16.7.2025)

“Ankle fusion is indeed a common and relatively simple procedure with good short-term results,” said Wang. “However, it often fails to restore the anatomical and biomechanical structure of the ankle. In the long term, it may not alleviate pain and could even cause damage to adjacent joints. Restoring proper anatomy and biomechanics is crucial to surgical success.”

Tens of Thousands of US Soldiers Surrendered!

DPRK: How the Korean War Was Famous for Deposing “Renowned” US Generals! (15.7.2025)

The U.S. imperialists, who ignited the Korean war and run amuck to swallow the DPRK in a short time, mobilized all the distinguished U.S. military generals when they suffered defeat after defeat from the beginning of the war.

In order to set back the unfavourable situation of war, the U.S. imperialists threw the U.S. 24th Infantry Division called the “undefeated division” into the war.

Divisional Commander Dean, who boasted of his rich war experience and asserted that he did not know defeat, was doomed to ruin in the Korean war.

Workers of the World Unite!

UK: The Early 1980s Were Great Days – I Worked at the Interpet (Dorking Town) & the RNIB Tape-Recorder (Wallington) Factories! (15.7.2025)

Nowadays, of course, everybody and their cat listens to audiobooks – but this was certainly not the case then – or for many years afterwards (apps have replace all this industry and mechanisation). This all came about due to the system of free universal education the UK had then (Thatcher abolished it in 1988 if you remember). I spent a year or so at a College in the Reigate and Redhill area between 1983-1984 – before relocating to Hereford (all free at the point of us and paid for via collective taxation). In the Wallington factory I was put to work on the assembly line with the man sat to my left explaining my job. He had managed to come through the UK education system and remain totally illiterate (which is a remarkable feat considering the high calibre of State and Private (Public) education in the area – although neuro-diversity was not recognised at the time) – but to his credit he liked Bob Marley (this was interesting as he was White).

Local Uprising in New York - 1970

New York: 55-Years Ago the “People’s Hospital for the South Bronx” was Established for 12-Hours! (15.7.2025)

In a 12‑hour takeover, they demanded dignity, better care, and a People’s Hospital for the South Bronx which for too long was and still is ignored by systemic neglect.

Their occupation wasn’t just a protest—it was a radical act of self-determination. The Young Lords showed us that when oppressive systems ignore our needs, we must rise, occupy the space, and rebuild from the ground up.

Their demand for a hospital that cared for the people—by the people—reverberates today as a rallying cry.
