Mozambique: Socialist Chinese Doctors Perform Free Cleft Surgeries for Children! (8.7.2026)

Zheng Qian, a professor at the West China Hospital of Stomatology, said the Chinese team arrived in Maputo on June 27 and had completed all 21 operations by July 6. Some of the children underwent second-stage corrective surgery that noticeably improved the shape of their lips and noses. 

The head of the dental department at Maputo Central Hospital praised the Chinese doctors’ professionalism and their close cooperation with local staff, adding that the program also gave Mozambican surgeons a chance to learn advanced techniques. The mother of one young patient said the operation would improve her daughter’s speech and breathing and help restore her confidence.

Mike Bassett England Manager

UK: When I Watched “Mike Bassett England Manager” with my Dad! (7.7.2026)

My family would travel to my parent’s home in Torquay at various times of the year – and me and my father sat in the darkened front-room of 2 Torbay Road – and howled with laughter at this remarkable English film! My Dad wanted me to see how ordinary people experience life – including pitfalls and disasters – and how they a) deal with it, and b) over-come those problems. The English way also includes a sense of humour. Anyway, my life sorted itself out and afterwards more great things were experienced and achieved. Today, for no reason at all, this film came up on YouTube – perhaps because it has a fictional match between England and Mexico. Today, the England Team is routinely reaching semi-finals and finals – but you never can tell if a return to the old form is on the cards!

China - Cuba Friendship - Socialist Solidarity!

China: US Urged to End Blockade of Cuba! (7.7.2026)

Mao made the remarks at a new briefing when asked to comment on the speeches of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, who warned that the U.S. blockade of Cuba has reached a “critical level” and constitutes a genocide threat, and he has called for a special session of the UN General Assembly on July 7 to address the issue.

The spokesperson noted that the comprehensive blockade and illegal sanctions imposed by the U.S. on Cuba for over 60 years are disastrous for the Cuban people.

Recently, the U.S. has further escalated these blockade and sanctions measures, which have severely undermined the basic livelihoods of the Cuban people and drawn great concern from the international community, Mao said.

China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and opposes external interference and stands ready to work with the international community to uphold international fairness and justice, the spokesperson concluded.

Indigenous Mexican Revolutionaries - circa 1910

UK: Thanking Mexico & England for One of the Greatest Games of Football! (6.7.2026)

We should never lose to the likes of the USA – or Norway – for that matter. I still cannot comprehend how France became a footballing nation – yes – I am that old. I think my recently deceased father is sat somewhere laughing with glee at this wonderful England performance. I keep odd hours and was up by 2am to see the delayed kick-off. It was a match of the ages – a match to end all matches! Until now, one of the best technical matches I have ever seen is the 1970 game between England (the defending world champions) and Brazil (the next world champions) – which England lost 0-1! This mornings match might well rival that match simply because England won! We might as well have won the World Cup – so brilliant was the performance. The Referee was against us – and we were fighting a hostile crowd – all things that professional players are expected to deal with and overcome!

Mexican Media Report Football Lose!

World Cup: Mexico 2 – 3 England – In Praise of the Mexican People & the Sportsmanlike Coverage of the Mexican “La Razon” Media! (6.7.2026)

: I accessed Mexican media on Telegram to see how they covered the defeat of the Mexico National Football Squad 2-3 to England. This must have been upsetting for them – just as every defeat of England is upsetting for the English. Goodness knows – we have lost a lot over the years. This is the first-time England has knocked-out a host country at the World Cup (and one of the few times England has defended a lead). Although the US committed War Crimes in Iran for Israel (and should not be allowed to host the World Cup) – a left-wing Mexico possesses every right to host – and host it – it has. I was surprised to learn that Mexico has never won the World Cup!

Each 45-Minute Half is Artificially Extended to 48-Minutes!

US: Explaining the Ridiculous FIFA “Hydration-Breaks”! (6.7.2026)

As football is traditionally a winter sport in the UK – hot weather is usually not an issue. However, where British teams have had to play in the heat abroad – water bottles are often placed near the side-line. Players drink quickly during natural breaks in the game – not during specific breaks. Therefore, “Hydration-Breaks” are a cynical attempt by the US to penetrate their hideous form of capitalism into the interior of the footballing game. What matters for them is commerce – not skill. The audience exists not to understand the game – but merely to “consume” in an ignorant manner. In fact, the more ignorant the better – as such a state allows the individual to be parted from their money in a much easier manner. Coaches, understanding the artificial nature of these breaks – are using them as unusual “half-times” where players can re-group and alter their shape or change their approach. All this has nothing to do with genuine football and is a contrivance. Indeed, it is altering the internal structure of the game. Once the World Cup has left the US – these breaks should be dead and buried.
