UK: Honeywood Museum – Changing Perspectives! Disabled People in the Workforce – Exhibition! (21.2/2026)

Of course, this might not be the case due to severity – but each human being should be granted dignity. Whatever the case, the able-bodied society at large should not “punish” those who happen to possess a disability – just because such an individual requires assistance here or there. Punishing the poor and needy derives from the Christian notion of “charity” – which suggests god is punishing the impoverished and the disabled for an imagined “sin” of some kind. This attitude has been taken on by modern capitalist society as disabled people, due to their enhanced needs, are not as efficient to exploit for naked profit as their able-bodied colleagues are. Given a chance and appropriate support, many disabled people are able to contribute to society. In the cases where they are not – such individuals should be cared for with compassion by society at large.

Honeywood Museum: Charshalton Ponds & Billiard Room! (21.2.2026)

We visited the Honeywood Museum in nearby Carshalton Ponds – as the Staff and Management added a Chinese New Year display to the usual mixture of local history artefacts. We have visited in the past – but I do not recall the impressively “large” Billiard Room which seems to have been converted to a “Snooker Room”. Me and Gee sat and drank a cup of coffee outside the Honeywood Museum – watching the numerous types of birds traverse the surface of the water. I think we entered the Museum probably in the wrong direction – and immediately emerged in the Billiard Room – which seemed to corelate seamlessly with Pond itself. During Victorian times, the well to do, those who owned local business and large country-homes – often could often afford all the lateest scientific devices. The air around the Ponds was fresh and yet mild – a thoroughly invigorating experience!

Iran: EU Airforces Declared “Terrorist” Entities – As Huckerbee “Confirms” Israel’s “Biblical Right” to Control Arab World! (22.2.2026)

Against tense regional developments, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said in a Friday interview that Israel has a “biblical right” to claim control over the entire Middle East, or at least most of the region.

The comments drew condemnation across the Arab countries as the Arab League called them “highly extremist.”

Huckabee’s remarks, being illogical and irrational, are “inconsistent with the fundamental principles and established norms of diplomacy,” Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul-Gheit said in a statement.

Those remarks “serve only to inflame sentiments and stir religious and national emotions” when countries are exploring ways to implement the Gaza ceasefire and “seize the opportunity to launch a serious political process towards peace,” he said.

Egyptian Foreign Ministry expressed its “astonishment” over the remarks on

UK: British Couple Get “Taste” of “Private Healthcare Hell” as Woman Gives Birth in US By Mistake – and Receives $200,000 Bill! (21.2.2026)

Not one word about a privatising NHS – or the fact that if the original 1948 NHS is not returned (advocating “care” over “cost”) – we will all be paying these types of ridiculous bills. My partner is a NHS Midwife who serves every pregnant woman “free” at the point of use – as she is paid via collective taxation. This is the same as in Cuba, China, or North Korea – and most Western and Northern European countries. Americanisation in the UK and Europe does mean that private healthcare is knocking on the door. Imagine that hell! Look at how the shyster insurance company attempting to “scam” these two clients. This is the horror that awaits us all!

Andrew - the Man Formerly Known as "Prince" Still Allowed Near Young Children!

UK: The British Royal Family’s History of “Arrested” Development! (21.2.2026)

21/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Charles II was the first of a long and meandering line of “Constitutional” monarchs (many of them “foreign”) who lived a life of opulence – but possessed no direct political power (Americans still think George III was in-charge of the UK during their rebellion). Since 1648-49, the English Parliament has been in-charge of the UK via democratically elected MPs. A constitutional monarch is a “civil servant” – employed by the government at the taxpayer’s expense – in exactly the same manner as a soldier, police office, or NHS employee, etc. They possess no direct political power – but the Establishment does permit them a certain (behind the scenes) “influence” in many areas of policy. If the constitutional monarch tries to use their royal power directly – then the institution will be abolished. Other than a supposed tourist attraction – these pointless entities literally have nothing to do whilst living a life of luxury – Andrew chose to visit Epstein’s Island during his leisure time – and abuse children.

Seoul: North Korea “Staggered” at Draconian Nature of US Justice Enforced in ROK! (20.2.2026)

Yoon became the country’s third former president to stand trial on insurrection charges, following former Presidents Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo, who were convicted for military coup and brutal crackdown under martial law.

The Seoul court merged three trials in December last year for eight suspects, including Yoon and seven other senior military and police officials, charged with performing critical duties in the insurrection.

The court handed former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun a 30-year prison sentence, convicting him of performing a significant role in the insurrection.

The special counsel team sought life imprisonment for Kim, whom it called a mastermind who planned and led the insurrection alongside Yoon by mobilizing the military.

Former Defense Intelligence Commander Noh Sang-won and former National Police Agency Commissioner Cho Ji-ho received prison terms of 18 and 12 years, respectively, for their key roles in the insurrection.
