UK: My Grandfather’s WWII PTSD – the Cost of Our Freedom! (9.5.2026)

He trained alongside the Glider-Landed Troops – trained to sit 30 to a wooden glider (a platoon) and crash-land on a military target before deploying (if surviving). Alfred either landed on Sword Beach in the first landing-boats and fought his way (ten-miles) in-land to relieve the British Glider Troops landed in Caen – or he landed in Caen with the Glider Troops and tried to hold the area until relieved by the British Army. Either way (we are not exactly sure – but must assume the former) the German resistance was so intense the first-wave Units were decimated and many of the early objectives were not achieved. My grandfather, when talking about his experiences many years later, described how he had to kill many people as he moved through the French and German countryside. He would fight his way to Hamburg before he was granted rest and leave. It was this killing that negatively affected him psychologically. Indeed, there hundreds of thousands of men in the UK who had to re-integrate into British society and pretend nothing had happened.

Ban All Non-UK Flags!

Email: Contextualising Reform UK – Which Flag Do You Fly? (7.5.2025)

Towns and villages are being turned into barracks for young male workers from abroad. This process began with the dissolution of the USSR – which used to maintain half the world in a state of stability. Of course, Capitalism is the cause, foreign workers the symptom. Whereas the right attacks the symptom (the workers) – the left should attack the cause (capitalism) – but we live in interesting times where narratives are becoming blurred and confused. The bourgeois establishment is practicing the age-old policy of “divide and conquer”. Workers from different parts of the world are being placed in a small geographical area and forced to fight for an equally small number of jobs. The question becomes “How do we on the left walk this tightrope?” My Chinese children, for example, share a classroom with a number of Ukrainian children – who have openly disagreed with the teacher about Hitler (the Ukrainians think Hitler protected the White race) – and made racist comments to my two daughter (my two daughters are the problem – not themselves).

WWII: The ‘Correct’ Soviet Sinking of the Nazi German Ship – MV Wilhelm Gustloff [1945]! (29.10.2022)

With the US, UK and EU actively supporting the political rightwing and far-right as a policy decision in this power bloc’s opposition to any and all Workers’ Movements anywhere in the world – the idea that the Soviet sinking of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff was a ‘War Crime’ still carries significant persuasive force that even permeates Western classrooms (including those of ‘modern’ Russia) and is a common idea held throughout society. Alexander Marinesko did not commit a ‘War Crime’ or a ‘Crime Against Humanity’ because from the point of view of International Maritime Law, the ship was a legitimate target for the following reasons: 

a) The ship was fitted with artillery (including anti-aircraft guns). 

b) The ship was escorted by armed warships. 

c) The ship and was painted in gray ‘camouflage’ colours to assist in its combat missions. 

d) The ship was not Registered with the Red Cross. 

e) The ship was carrying active military personnel. 

f) The ship was travelling through a declared combat zone at the time of sinking. 

g) The ship sailed under the (military) flag of the Reichskriegsmarine.
