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!

Russia: Defeating Neo-Nazi Ukraine & Rejecting US Hegemonic Use of NATO! (30.1.2025)

I applaud the work of our law enforcement bodies. Now I would like to mention punishment for the Kiev regime’s crimes. Russian courts continue to convict Ukrainian neo-Nazis and mercenaries of war crimes.

An American citizen, Patrick Thomas Creed, was sentenced in absentia to 13 years’ imprisonment for participating in hostilities on the side of Ukraine. This soldier of fortune is a retired US Army Ranger, who also served in US National Guard, infantry and airborne troops, and was repeatedly dispatched to Central America and the Middle East.

Latvian mercenaries Uldis Volmars and Juris Alberts Ulmanis were sentenced to 14 years in absentia. All these foreigners are on the international wanted list.

Ukrainian combatants A.Voloshin, V.Arshulik, S.Karayev, A.Doychuk, Z.Sigerich, A.Kulbaba, and O.Vovk have been sentenced to 15 to 16 years in prison for committing acts of terror against Russian servicemen and civilians in the Kursk Region.

London: Happy Chinese New Year [恭喜發財 – Gung Hay Fat Choi] 2025-4723! (29.1.2025)

In otherwards, by showing respect to one another (humanity) animals, plants, and nature – a great inner happiness is generated that flows outward through society and generates all kinds of inner and outer wealth (not just material wealth – but also intellectual, emotional and spiritual). This is the proper use of Confucianism ideology – not distorted by governments and classes that have ulterior motives used to control the masses through deception. The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 CE) was originally “foreign” (Manchurian-Jurchen) – and distorted Confucian thinking so as to paralyse Chinese society and prevent its development. Today, the Jurchen are now considered “Chinese” – and Confucianism is used to emphasise “education” and “self-cultivation”.

Facism is Defeated!

The Politics of “Genocide” – Making Sense of the Nazi German Killing During WWII! (28.1.2025)

The US killed, wounded, and “disappeared” around 6 million men, women, and children in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos through its destructive blanket-bombing campaign, the dropping of napalm, and its use of Agent Orange. It was the US who committed “Genocide” in South-East Asia – and not the South-East Asians who were their victims. Today, a glaring omission from this supposed list of “Genocides” is that one currently being committed by the Zionist Jews in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria! Even during the supposed “Ceasefire” – the Zionists are continuing to murder Palestinian men, women, and children! The intensity of the killing is reduced somewhat from that seen over the last 18-months – but the Zionist ethnic-cleansing of the Palestinians continuous unabaited! Not all Jews support Israel or its Zionist Project – but the Western media is complicit with the Zionist “Genocide” in Gaza (armed by the US, UK, and EU)  – and the racialisation of the Russian people who continue to fight the forces of Neo-Nazism in Ukraine for all of humanity!

Socialist Science Triumphs!

China: Socialist Light Shone on “Big Bang”! (26.1.2025)

Many experts at home and abroad said that the observation results of EP240315a by the EP satellite have deepened humanity’s understanding of early universe gamma-ray bursts, offer fresh insights into the origins and evolution of the universe, Xinhua reported.

The EP mission is one of a series of space science missions led by CAS. This is an international collaboration effort, featuring contributions from the European Space Agency (ESA), the Max Planck Institute for Extra-terrestrial Physics (MPE) in Germany, and the French space agency CNES.

Launched into space in January 2024, the satellite has achieved several initial discoveries, such as an uncommon transient phenomenon, advancing understanding of the universe and extreme physical phenomena, Xinhua reported.

Trump Makes His Mark in London!

London: Chinese New Year Dim Sum (Yum Cha)! (26.1.2025)

We knew that the Saturday before Chinese New Year would mean that London’s Chinatown (Gerrard Street) would be packed so we got early (ish) to get out on the road by around 10am (early for a Saturday). We drove to Morden Tube Station (Northernline) and headed into Central London (Leicester Square). Actually, although busy, I think the crowd numbers were down on previous (pre-Covid) years! Still, less crowds equals less stress – although the staff of the New Loon Fung Restaurant were on edge – expecting a massive influx for “Dim Sum” (Chinese breakfast)!
