The Constitutional Court has refused Afriforum's bid for leave to appeal the "Kill the boer" judgment which found that the chant did not constitute Hate Speech.

Did Hitler “Kill the Boer?” – Evidence Suggests He Did! (28.3.2025)

Being out of date is not the same as being “illegal”. Whilst the English were being killed by the Nazi Germans – they comprised songs of defiance as their bodies were being blown apart. Black South Africans, whilst living within the Apartheid-era, were oppressed, beaten, raped, and killed over an extended period of time by Boer nationalists who held all the political power at the time. Whilst Boer bullets and bombs tore apart Black bodies – the indigenous African population composed songs of defiance as a means to “resist” the racially motivated attacks of their Boer enemies. The government of the Netherlands, by way of observation, has never condemned the behaviour of its Dutch citizens who travelled to Africa and invaded it.

Inside the Tunnels

UK: Inside the London’s Abandoned Tunnels – Under Clapham South Northern Line Tube Station! (3.3.2025)

Despite the difficult circumstances, in an oral history played out loud to visitors, Margaret reminisces fondly about her time in the shelter.

“I had a wonderful time,” she explains. “I was an only child, and I made friends. We used to rush up and down the tunnels.

“People were all in the same boat down there. It was a great leveller. Whether you were rich, poor or whatever you were. If you were homeless.

“People were very kind to each other, much more than they are now. It’s funny isn’t it, that it takes a war to do that.”

After the end of the conflict, the shelters continued to be used as cheap hotel accommodation costing three shillings a night, equivalent to £4 today.

Guests at Clapham South included those who arrived in Britain from the Caribbean as part of the Windrush Generation.

But in 1956, after a fire at the Goodge Street station shelter, the Government decided to abandon the tunnels.

Today, they are mainly used as archive storage, although the tunnels under Clapham Common once housed a hydroponic farm.

For anyone who wants to check out the shelter themselves, new dates for the ‘Hidden London’ tour were released earlier this week, with tickets costing £38.

UK: How The Guardian Newspaper “Begs for Money” – By Belittling Communist History! (20.12.2023)

Enver Hoxha, like ALL General Secretaries of the various Communist Parties – was ‘elected’ into that role through the auspices of Centralised Democracy – a process that empowers (and enfranchises) far more working-class people in a meaningful way than liberal democracy can or will. Like all “Socialist” Representatives – the people living under this “Socialist” system could of removed Enver Hoxha at anytime for any reason – a “Right” MISSING from ALL liberal democracies (and a Right the Albanian people never chose to exercise)! As Marina Hyde is not working-class – She “loves discipline when it is applied it to others!” Of course, Marina Hyde has very little to say regarding the Zionist Israelis killing and maiming around 70,000 Palestinians in just a single month during that country’s invasion of Palestine! After-all, it took the Nazi German Luftwaffe around 18 months of continuously blanket-bombing the UK (between 1940-1941) to amass 70,000 casualties during the Blitz!

Horton Street - lewisham - East London

Lewisham: Locating the Now Lost “Horton Street”! (25.11.2023)

During September, 1940, Nazi Germany unleashed its ‘Blitz’ attack on London! The Luftwaffe dropped thousands of tonnes of bombs on East London – as Hitler sought to destroy the physical bodies of the British working-class (thus preventing them from joining the British Arm Forces) – and to destroy the morale of those who were left! Not only this, by bombing various targets in the UK – using conventional Bomber-Aeroplanes and unconventional Flying Bombs (the fabled ‘V’ or ‘Vengeance’ weapons) Hitler attempted to rip the infrastructure of the UK from beneath the feet of its inhabitants! In the 18 months of intense blanket-bombing – a tactic Hitler had perfected in Spain during the Civil War (1936-1939) in that country – around 70,000 British people were killed!

The Clan Gibson of Sutton! (9.11.2023)

Our branch of the Gibson family is recorded as having been ‘rope-makers’ and are believed to have originally migrated out of Scotland hundreds of years ago – and to have ‘walked’ down through England until they eventually settled in East London. This is a journey that took decades and involved small clusters settling here and there. Featured is out Scottish Tartan – but as ‘Gibson’ is of Viking heritage – the Vikings settled in both England and Scotland at different times and during the centuries prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066 CE. As the Normans were Vikings who had settled in France – this adds yet another level of transmission. The ‘Son of Gibb’ was thought to have been a mighty Viking warrior!

Chislehurst Home Guard: “C” Company 54th Kent Battalion! (7.11.2023)

This did, in some areas, include women – with the purpose of forming a ‘mass’ volunteer force comprised of hundreds of thousands of eager individuals who were dedicated to the task of protecting their homes through the logical use of local knowledge. Foreign Paratroopers, by way of example, despite their fitness and daring, may drop both sides of a house (in an unfamiliar area) and have no idea where they are, giving time enough for the inhabitants of the house to open-fire (from the high ground) – thus removing the threat! The soldiers of “C” Company of the 54th Battalion of the Kent Home Guard wore a Khaki British Army-style uniform and possessed a number of very different (old and new) fire-arms (preserved in the Museum maintained at Chislehurst Cave).
