Possibly the Narrowest Street in the World!

Exeter: Parliament Street – the Narrowest Street in the World! (2.8.2024)

However, in 1660 a counter-Revolution occurred that saw the Bourgeoisie retain their power – but switch their allegiance away from the peasants and workers and back in favour of the aristocracy and the royal family (although being careful to only reintroduce a Constitutional Monarchy with any real or actual power). Voting for the masses was abandoned – with voting only encouraged amongst the most wealthiest and influential of the post-Cromwellian middle class. I mention this as some have speculated that Parliament Street was renamed as such – as a slight against Cromwell – but I doubt this. Prior to the counter-Revolution of 1660 – Cromwell was very popular and was so powerful that anyone with sense would not dare risk their lives by doing something so stupid as altering a street name.

Child Sexual Exploitation on US Colony of Taiwan!

Taiwan: Major Child Porn Ring Exposed in US-Controlled Colony! (3.8.2024)

Rufus Lin, director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau’s high-tech crime centre, said that they faced difficulty shutting down the networks as they operated through overseas accounts and domains, despite being run from within Taiwan.

In the past, Taiwan’s government has faced criticism from women’s and children’s rights groups over lenient laws for possession of images showing child sex abuse.

There were calls to enforce tougher penalties when Taiwanese celebrity Mickey Huang Tzu-chiao was ordered to pay a fine of NT$1.2m (£30,000) and write an apology after seven videos featuring minors were found on his hard drive. In the aftermath, in 2023, the maximum prison sentence was increased from two years to three and the maximum fine doubled to NT$1m (£23,970).

Additionally, victims were allowed up to seven years to file a complaint instead of three.

South Devon Railway: Buckfastleigh Station & Steam Train! (1.8.2024)

A Summer Fayre is currently being held within the grounds of Buckfast Abbey – administered by the Church. The priests of the Catholic Church have worked-out a way to introduce a pay-wall which benefits their greed whilst seemingly acting in accordance with the wishes of the monks. Yes – the Catholic Church only cares for greed, political dominance and temporal power. and this is why the Catholic Church has started charging for parking, an initiative enforced by specially hired night-club Bouncers who stand menacingly at the gates – demanding to “see” the tickets – proving the £6 parking fee had been paid! This dichotomy exemplifies the difference which exists between the Christian Church and Christian monastic establishment. The priests want money (as do the lay-people who set-up their stalls) – the monks (who could not be seen anywhere) – want inner tranquillity and outer peace!

Zionism is Fscosm!

BDS: McDonald’s Hit by First Sales Drop Since 2020 Amid Boycott Campaign Over Gaza! (1.8.2024)

Other American companies, including Starbucks, Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut, and Papa John’s, as well as brands such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Wix, Puma, and Zara that have pro-Israeli stances or financial ties with Israel and investments there have also came under fire and faced boycott calls.

The current boycott campaign could be considered the latest part of the pro-Palestine Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against the Israeli regime.

Thousands of volunteers worldwide have joined the BDS movement, which calls for people and groups across the world to cut economic, cultural, and academic ties to Tel Aviv to help promote the Palestinian cause. The movement has been so successful in causing economic damage to the regime, which pro-Israel groups have labeled “an existential threat.”

Lightly=Equiped Police Constables!

Southport: Far-Right Agitation on UK Streets Reminiscent of 1930s Berlin! (31.7.2024)

The incumbent Labour Party is refusing to add to this description – an decision which is only fuelling the flames – by suggesting that the nation should focus on recovering rather than revenge! Of course, all this is coming hot on the heels of the Romany Riots in Leeds – and the Bangladeshi Uprisings in London – both of which involved ethnic minorities attacking poorly-equipped Police Constables! The far-right is taking advantage of this unrest and is attempting to replace “class” (Marx) with “race” (Hitler) as the dominant characteristic which defines reality and explains phenomena. Thuggery and poor education are the only characteristics that unite the far-right the world-over. White racism is dangerous – but it is not decisive. Marxist-Leninism has beaten it before – and it will beat it again! What should happen now is that the Police will quietly analyse the film footage and identify all the thugs who attended the riots whilst not wearing masks – no doubt an ongoing far-right resistance to the Covid-19 Pandemic and symbolic of the anti-intellectualism that has gripped the fascist movement in recent years!

Abbot's Kitched - Glastonbury - 2024

Glastonbury Abbey: Abbot’s Kitchen – St Joseph’s Well! (30.7.2024)

Today, an ad hoc “Wishing Well” has developed in one of the corners of the room. This was probably a drain or perhaps some type of cooker – but in modern times visitors have taken to dropping coins down through the covering grill – and making heartfelt requests in the form of prayers and good wishes. Our daughters asked for good health to be bestowed upon Nana (Diane Wyles), Granddad (Peter Wyles) and Charlotte (my younger sister)! The currency observed spans the globe – which demonstrates the universal appeal that Glastonbury holds. This is not necessarily “religious” (although religion is important for many) – but rathe “spiritual” in nature – the latter category being far more inclusive and all-embracing!
