Dressing to Impress!

Surrey: Visiting “Jane Austen’s House”! (26.5.2026)

Indeed, Jane was only 42-years old when she died (despite never marrying or having children of her own) – but she lived through the heady days of French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon, and the Battle of Waterloo. Despite the political class of Britain opposing the French Revolution (and opposing all the Socialist developments that arose from it) – many middle-class, literate British individuals found the times to be inspiring. Although I do not know for certain with regards Jane Austen – she was one of those literate British women who trailblazed in a man’s world via her written works (Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, etc) – which are still best sellers today. Many of her works are performed as plays, and have been adapted for TV and the big screen. Whatever the case, on Tuesday May 26th, we headed out up the road to a nearby place called “Chawton” – where one of the houses owned by the Austen family is located.

CSA: Celebrating the Confederate 1862 “Liberation” of Maryland from Lincoln’s Tyranny! (19.5.2026)

I am blessed to have been born a free Englishman. British academics are the best in the world when not under duress from oppressive governments. I have piles of English books written fairly about the Confederacy – a movement I believe would have led to a “Socialist” North America if it ha prevailed. The CSA would now be supplying the Comrade-State of Cuba (instead of killing it through sanctions), rewarding a Socialist Cina, Vietnam, Laos, Venezuela and Iran – whilst blockading what is left of the Federal States for their greed and belligerence toward Socialist States. The Native Americans would have their own Independent country in what is now the Western United States – free of Eurocentric interference – whilst the State of Israel would be in a remote area of Brazil with “Zionism” being outlawed as a form of Jewish-derived “White Supremacy” (see the 1975 UN Resolution) and the subsequent ICC and ICJ Declamations regarding the Zionist Genocide in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. South Africa would be rewarded for holding Israel accountable for its Crimes Against Humanity and Trotskyism (as a right-wing attack on Marxist-Leninism) would be an imprisonable deviation. Thank you to the Confederate soldiers who gave their lives in pursuit of a higher freedom!

Cuba: One Signature – Millions of Voices for the Homeland! (20.4.2026)

Now millions throughout the island will add their hands to the giant stroke, each with their signatures, holding young and expert hearts, bearers of dreams and diverse commitments, but signing with common ink: homeland and flag.

It will be a giant book, written by as many hands as the children of this land want to live in peace, without imperial blockades, hegemonic threats or military aggressions that would only leave eternal voids in the families of both nations.

These signatures will gradually fatten the muscles of a long and thin island that more than once has shown signs of defending its ideas at any price, like the moral giant that it is in the year of the centenary of its historic leader, Commander in Chief Fidel Castro.

The information I was given was a blue and white paddle board, which doesn't help when the sea is blue and white.

UK: Weird News from Scotland – How the RNLI Rescued a Blue Paddle-Board! (15.4.2026)

Mandy urged other paddle boarders to take proper precautions before going out on the water.

She said: “Obviously don’t go dressed like me, try and wear a wetsuit and a lifejacket.

“I had a swimming costume on, a T-shirt and a pair of Crocs. That’s not appropriate.”

The RNLI were called out to 13 paddleboard incidents in Scotland last year and 14 the year before.

Lifeboats in Scotland launched 1,172 times last year and 37 lives were saved. The number of callouts were 10 fewer than in 2024.

Scott said: “You really need to be prepared. Check the tides, the weather, the wind speed.

“Have wetsuits and lifejackets, tell people where you’re going, have a mobile phone.”

The crew said it had been emotional reuniting with the woman whose life they saved.

Scott said: “It was really nice to meet Mandy again, it’s something that doesn’t happen often.”

Mandy said: “I feel so special to have met the crew that saved me.

“I can’t remember what any of them looked like but their voices are very familiar now that I’ve met them.

“They do this unpaid, they are actual heroes.”

Trump II Encourages This Type of Racism!

US: How YouTube Acts the New “Slave Market” of America! (10.4.2026)

The way it works in the US is that the police are tasked with raising local government revenue. Much of this is through traffic violation. The police stop black people often on spurious and flimsy grounds knowing that they will resist. The resisting then becomes the reason for the detention and arrest. Notice that the original reason for the stop is then quietly dropped and forgotten about – as it would not stand up in court. Even if it did – the petty nature of it would only result in a modest fine. Resisting arrest, fighting with officers, and threats – attract not only hefty fines – but quite often prison sentences and criminal records. Complying would seem the logical choice as it involves the least overall risk – but we do not live in an ideal world. For a White American – this can be a pleasant encounter between community equals – but for non-Whites it is often the beginning of a nightmare and even result in the death of the civilian. Qualified immunity often means the offending officers receive little or no punishment.

UK: Gypsy News – the Battle of Friendless Lane! (9.4.2026)

. Another issue stemmed around the difference between ethnic Gypsies and those people from the settled community who simply declared themselves a “Traveller”. This was followed by an influx of Irish Gypsies and Gypsies from Europe, and so on. A few years ago, when I was in regular contact with the Gypsy Council, and had just publish an article about Gypsies who served in the Soviet Red Army – I was attacked by an Irish youth from a nearby Traveller community that had took-over a park. I say “attacked” – but as a trained martial artist and a law abiding citizen, I simply “moved out the way” of this short kids punches – which made his friends laugh and pull him away. Obviously, I did not grass, but I suspect the entire encounter is on the Sainsbury car-park CCTV. It is a sad state of affairs all round. Some of these people are violent and obnoxious because of the things that have been done to them in the past – this must be understood – but the prejudice aimed at Travellers is breath-taking! No other disadvantaged group wants anything to do with them. You will not see BLM or Palestine Solidarity turning-up to protest their treatment or demand their rights. Physical violence does not bother me – it is an occupational hazard – but for many others the shock of it far too much to take, and around it goes.
