UK: Visiting Haytor – Dartmoor National Park! (17.4.2025

We were committed to traversing directly up before we fully appreciated the difference. Nevertheless, hundreds climb Haytor every week – with wild Dartmoor ponies wandering around the car-park area. These animals may – or may not – come over for a stroke, but visitors must be careful not to be bitten, head-butted, or kicked, etc. This does not happen very often – but wild animals should be respected. Another issues are yapping dogs (which must be kept on leads). As matters transpired, there was one or two calm and sedate ponies that wanted to be stroked and petted, etc. The general experience is important for children – particularly those from city areas – to re-connect with nature and experience the feeling that the immensity of nature – wide-open spaces – can generate! I last visited probably about 20-years ago with Gee – but our two children not yet born.

CSA: Would a Confederate Victory Have Led to a Socialist Revolution? (28.2.2025)

However, the Southern ideas of honour and their so-called aristocratic thinking were overblown and these ideas actually sometimes played to the South’s benefit, as the men in the South followed natural leaders and often times appointed them on their own (via popular vote). All too often, in the North, Officers were often political appointees – desk-bound Officers who hadn’t seen a battlefield in years – or ever. Or men who simply bought their way into a General’s uniform. One of the more stereotypical views of the South was the aforementioned backward, backwoodsman. Think about that for a moment. Yes – a significant portion of the Confederate Army was poor, uneducated, and illiterate. Some left-leaning historians have said  – with some accuracy – that the poor Whites of the South had more in common with the slaves – than they did with the leading families who owned most of the land and the fabulous estates like the fictional “Tara” in Gone With the Wind.

BBC Radio Play [1982]: THE FATAL FLAW by Chris Allen – How the US is Taking-Over the UK! (7.12.2023)

A masterful exploration of how the spread of US hegemony and neo-imperialism seeps into, destroys and ultimately replaces the historical culture of (indigenous) British culture and identity. The agency for this explanation surrounds the UK publishing industry in the light of a hostile US take-over and its subversion due to the auspices of US anti-intellectualism and the triumph of superficial style over substance. The British Historian and author – Matthew Bradford – is replaced by the US-publishing construct of ‘Matt Brand’ – whose father was a “Shepherd who looked after sheep…” – whilst his mother was a “Māori Medicine Woman!”

Will Historical Evidence Demonstrate that King Arthur was a Historical “Celtic” Figure? (28.9.2023)

A long overdue study of ‘Celtic’ King’s, Queens, Princes and Princesses who lived and ruled in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Wales during the 5th and 6th centuries CE! Modern archaeologists know of these graves but are not encouraged to investigate the burials due to these people being ‘Celtic’ – and not directly linked to the Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Dutch and modern Germans who formed the ‘official’ royal lineages. Genetic study of the DNA of the early (“Celtic”) populations of the British Isles (c, 10,000 BP – or 8,000 BCE) has confirmed that the skin “tone” or “colour” of these people was “dark to black”! Overtime, presumably through the effects of exposure to climate and “mixing” with other ethnic groups – the skin-tone “lightened”.

Eire: The “Green Legion” and Why the Catholic Dalliance with Fascism Has to Stop! (8.5.2023)

When Eire gained most of its independence from Britain in 1921, the Catholic Church did its utmost to destroy the ‘Socialist’ movement and divert its people toward the fascist ideology. This change in perspective can be seen through the example of Eoin O’Duffy and his descent into reaction. Eoin O’Duffy would eventually became the popular leader of the far-right ‘People’s National Party’ – which was closely aligned with Nazi Germany and its aims. Eoin O’Duffy even sent Adolf Hitler an offer that he would raise a ‘Green Legion’ of Irishmen to fight on the Russian Front. O’Duffy was no stranger to battle as he had previously led a 700 strong (pro-Franco) Irish Brigade in during Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). In the 1940s – O’Duffy spent time in Nazi Germany discussing a free Ireland – and how he could assist the Axis in its war against Britain.

King Charles III – That Was Worth a Few Hospitals! (6.5.2023)

As a Mass Party we oppose China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos! As a Mass Party – we support the dismantling of the British Welfare State and the National Health Service (NHS) – as this empowers the workers by generating the conditions for the workers to take independent action! This Mass Party has come along way since its inception during 1921 – and the glorious revolution in Russia of 1991! Let us hope together that King Charles III ushers in a new era of sublime Bourgeoises dominance and leadership! As a Mass Party we fully encourage our members to support the British State and assist in its development! Together we can keep the dream of Leon Trotsky alive!’
