BNP Disciplinary Letter 8.12.2026

UK: BNP Conference 2006 – Mark Collett & David Hannam Enter Hotelroom With Underage Girls! (10.8.2026)

The story that has been uploaded onto the internet onto various platforms is that Mark Collett and David Hannam, supposedly drunk on the fame the then “far-right “British National Party” (BNP) was receiving from the British Establishment and maintstream media, “picked-up” two young girls (one 14 and the other 15) – and took them into a hotel-bedroom. In 2006, mobile ‘phones that could video were new and many people did not yet understand the implications of having their every move recorded. This was because uploading onto the internet was in its early days as well. However, one of the girls forwarded the video to Ken Smith – who was in-charge of BNP finance and security. Smith called an immediate meeting with the parents of the two girls – and reportedly “paid them off” not to go to the police. The BNP imploded from this point onward as its “Fuhrer” (Nick Griffin) refused to expel Collett – a person he had groomed from an early age (yes – there are rumours of homosexuality).

Mahayana Buddha is Trans Gender

BMA-UK: The Buddha – Gender Fluid or Gender Irrelevant? (6.8.2026)

Of course, even in Shakespeare’s time in England – men dressed as women because women were not permitted to act on the stage. The Vinaya Discipline seeks to completely “cut-off” all sexual activity in the environment, body, and mind. This includes heterosexual, homosexual, and beastiality. This is what a Buddhist monastic is expected to follow – whilst a lay-person may get married and have children – providing there is an element of sexual control. This often comes down to use in the West as “No Adultery” – but in the old Pali Suttas, it is explained in a slightly different manner. In the time of the Buddha, a rich lay-man could marry up to four wives – and as it was the Hindu custom for a man to marry sisters – the Buddha advised that “control” in this instance was not to engage in sexual activity with anyone outside his wife’s family. Replacing this with “Adultery” is a clear example of how the bourgeois (Christian) West has tinkered with Asian Buddhism – and attempted to alter its essential nature. Adultery in the monogamous (modern) West is not the same as adultery in polygamous (ancient) India.

A joint statement from Trans+ Solidarity Alliance, Scottish Trans, and TransActual.

UK: Joint Statement – Trans+ Solidarity Alliance, Scottish Trans, & TransActual – EHRC’s Code of Practice Comes into Effect! (5.8.2026)

However, we decided to just turn-up at the UNITE double-decker bus (I was a member of that union at the time) – and see if we could blag our way through – and blag we did. If we had not taken direct action – Gee is very gay-friendly and the crowd took to her – we would not have been able to attend. I think the fact we are mixed-race couple acted as camouflaged for our presence (everyone thought someone had okayed it previously). As a straight couple – we were not permitted on the bus by the lesbians who occupied and controlled it. At one point, I was kissed by a gay Asian man – which was not traumatising to me at all. He asked Gee’s permission first. Later, as a straight, mixed couple, with mixed kids, the gay and trans people that sat in and around London landmarks with us – looked at us with such love that I cannot deny the experience. I am not telling you how to think – indeed – I would advise thinking for yourself by reading all the evidence and weighing things-up. As workers living in a capitalist society – we are already oppressed. Granting (or withholding) access to toilets will not change that – even if it might be seen as “progressive” and a “movement in the right direction”. A genuine Red Army soldier fights to defeat capitalism and fascism for ALL people – not just those the bourgeoise establishment decide are acceptable or persona non grata.

The Beautiful Devon Village of Kentisbeare - 1947!

UK: Yorkshire Puddings Are Made of It – Dead Fish Are Covered in It – On Why the MCC is “Wrong”!

My Dad learned cricket from the rich-boys who played on pristine pitches in the overwise bombed-out city of Leicester. These were Grammar School (posh) boys and my Dad was definitely not allowed to play. He was from an averagely poor working-class background. What he did was cleverly make himself useful to these privileged fools – so that they would slowly let him into a little bit of their affluent world. This is how he learned to play cricket. Many years later, when I was a child, the BBC would screen six-hours of cricket on a Sunday – I think BBC 2 – and my Dad would explain the game to me. This is how I learned to understand the rules of cricket. My Dad went on to found Tiverton Cricket Club as a player-manager – and I used to go with him as a child to roll the pitch a day before each match. On occasion, I would be at the game – mingling with the players – as I was young – I did not grasp “opposing sides” thing too well.

Asteryth Sloane - Maestro

UK: Xia Leon [Asteryth] Sloane – “Award-Winning” British Composer Dies at 26! (24.7.2026)

I’m a person-centred therapist with particular interest and experience in working with survivors of abuse and complex trauma. I believe that therapeutic work is revolutionary in the ways it can go against the grain of the violence and brutality of past and present experiences in both personal and global contexts. As a queer, autistic, blind person, it’s especially important to me to hold curious, authentic, and anti-oppressive spaces for all who come to my practice.

Real Football is Non-League!

Mexico: Schools for Chiapas – What Football Has United – Let No State Divide! (16.7.2026)

As the count of disappeared already surpasses 133,000, in a show of the Mexican state’s indifference, current President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo mocked, questioned, and criminalized these families’ struggle, at press conferences accusing some of these collectives of receiving funding and answering to the interests of opposition political parties.

While there is no exact figure, organizations like Amnesty International cite more than 200 collectives across the country. In this context, alleging that the movement has been co-opted functions less as fact and more as a vile tactic of delegitimization. President Sheinbaum Pardo seeks to mask a painful reality with the supposed joy that comes from soccer as a capitalist spectacle.

The sheer scope of the violence behind the disappearance crisis can be seen in the range of its victims — among them civilians disappeared by the military alongside members of the armed forces themselves; people presumably linked to the criminal economy, and many more who simply refused to pay extortion fees. “Collateral damage,” a former president once called it. All are searched for equally; no disappearance is justified, and no one deserves to disappear.
