Palestinian Mission to the UK - 2025

Palestinian Mission to the UK – The UK Should Join the World Majority – Recognise the State of Palestine! (13.6.2025)

How world leaders, faced with a choice between complicity and courage, enabled genocide. How they denied Palestinians our inalienable right to self-determination and return, and chose to support occupation over freedom, apartheid over equality. Today, after decades of appeasement and impunity, Israel has entrenched one of the longest military occupations in modern history, one that seeks not only to control Palestinian life but to extinguish it.

The Beatles: Revolver Super Deluxe 5 CD Box-Set! (11.6.2025)

This is a new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes. The technology has produced a stunning clarity of sound – with the help of cutting edge “de-mixing” technology developed by Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films Productions Ltd. Included is the GRAMMY Award-winning original album artwork created by Klaus Voormann, the Super Deluxe CD and vinyl house a beautiful book featuring Paul McCartney’s Foreword, an introduction by Giles Martin, an essay by Questlove, and insightful chapters by Kevin Howlett. I read somewhere that Peter Jackson wanted specifically to use the technology he developed to update and synchronise the sound-tracks to all his Lord of the Rings films. As these films were produced well-over a decade and years a part – the technology improved as they filmed. Now, the older sound-tracks can be brought into line with the latest – increasing the quality and viewing experience. Peter Jackson was adamant that he only wanted to work on “Revolver”. Listening to the original “mono” proves just how spectacular The Beatles actually were. By comparison, “stereo” seems lazy!

Rough sleepers will no longer be criminalised with the repeal of the Vagrancy Act (Yui Mok/PA)

UK: Labour Scrapping [1824] Vagrancy Act in Publicity Stunt – Replacing It With “New Offences” in Crime & Policing Bill! (11.6.2025)

In other words, the Police cannot properly punish the homeless in the modern era under the 1824 Act – and it must be updated and reformed. Labour thinks it can gain some short-term credit for an apparent “humanitarian” act – when in reality all the powers contained in the 1824 Act are being updated and transferred into a reformed Crime and Policing Bill. This change is superficial and will see the Police given far more relevant powers to arrest, persecute, and/or move on the homeless in many more imaginative and creative ways that by-pass all the legal powers that charities currently use to support and protect the homeless, etc. This is a Labour “attack” on homelessness – disguised as “progress” and “improvement”.

US: LA Uprising – Trump Threatened with Lawsuit! (10.6.2025)

The lawsuit, which names President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the Department of Defense, claimed that the takeover violates the U.S. Constitution and exceeds the president’s Title 10 authority, not only because the takeover occurred without the consent or input of the governor, as federal law requires, but also because it was unwarranted, according to a news release from the governor’s office on Monday. The protests initially began in response to immigration enforcement operations. In recent days, administration officials have focused their efforts on major Democratic-led cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

Lao People’s Democratic Republic and the United States of America held a handover ceremony on June 2, 2025

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Remains of US Soldiers Returned! (7.6.2025)

Representing the Lao Government was Mr. Akaphap Phanthavong, Director of the European-American Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Receiving the remains on behalf of the United States was Ms. Michelle Outlaw, Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in the Lao PDR. Officials and representatives from both nations stood together in solemn remembrance and solidarity.

The remains were recovered through a joint Lao-U.S. operation, the fourth such survey and excavation conducted during the 2024–2025 period in Dakcheung District, Sekong Province. The mission underscores Laos’ steadfast commitment to humanitarian values and its ongoing efforts to help American families find long-awaited closure.

D-Day Landings: My Grandfather Landed in the First-Wave on Normandy Today – 81-Years Ago! (6.6.2025)

His best friend was shot in the head and his body kept on running for a few feet before finally collapsing. The German soldier was aiming at my grandfather – before his friend ran in front of him – as part of the advance. My grandfather fought against fascism – but today the UK is over-run with home-grown fascists, Neo-Nazis, and White Supremacists – as the government tells us to support Neo-Nazi Ukraine and Zionist Israel. Out of respect for the memory of my brave grandfather – I refuse to do neither. This is how I choose to use the freedom my grandfather earned for me on D-Day!
