Digging into the Trench!

Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Feeding Squrrels & Pigeons! (21.9.2025)

We visited the Church-yard of St Nicholas Church on the 14.9.2025 – a pleasant Saturday afternoon in South-West London (formerly East Surrey). At the moment we are experiencing what we use to call an “Indian Summer” – providing this is still an acceptable analogy (who knows – the ground upon which we stand keeps dissolving into loose sand). Either way, communing with wild animals teaches children empathy, sympathy, and kindness. This is inter-species communication – a very important aspect of a civilised upbringing and education. From a superstitious Buddhist view – all life is karmically inter-related following endless cycles of rebirth (bundles of life-habit living through all different life-forms until the realisation of enlightenment breaks the cycle). Is this real? I have no idea – but the Buddha seems to think rebirth is a Brahmanic myth – but it is a myth which he uses to convey his teaching and make his point, etc.

Hedgehog Eating & Drinking!

Sutton: Hedgehog Asks for Water During Heat-Wave! (14.7.2025)

When I lived in Devon during my youth – hedgehogs used to be everywhere. We used to see them all the time and most gardens possessed at least one resident hedgehog. I know some lived very long and grew to surprising sizes. The last time I saw a hedgehog in Sutton was probably around 2008 in the back garden of the then house (in Westfield Road) I lived-in – but I have not seen one in the wild since then. The only time we have seen hedgehogs locally – has been in special areas of nature conservation but in a sense – these are not truly wild in the unmanaged sense. I am not sure why we do not see so many wild hedgehog in the Sutton area – perhaps their populations are low – or they choose to hide for some reason. We hope their numbers improve and remember to give them water and cat-food – or similar!

Grifting Anarchists Wander Around a Lorry...

How Ukrainian “Anarchists” Support Neo-Nazism and Misrepresent Asian Philosophy! (27.6.2025)

Post after post talked with a self-righteous certainty about how the pursuers of this path were obviously “morally” superior. Then, all of a sudden, Ukrainian (Neo-Nazi) soldiers were featured as “exemplars” of this form of Anarchy – together with regular reports of “how many Russians they had killed”! This demonstrates how Indian religion is completely misrepresented in the West – “Ahimsa” [non-violence] requires a complete uprooting of all hatred from within the human mind and body. Saving a chicken whilst killing Russians sound suspiciously like Hitler’s Animal Rights ideas. Whilst millions of humans were fed through Hitler’s Death Factories during WWII – he passed strict laws protecting the rights of animals! These Anarchists in Ukraine are just like their unelected government – and firm supporters of Neo-Nazism. One of the most recent posts (written in English) states that Anarchists all over the US and Europe fully support Neo-Nazism in Ukraine – and criticise Trump for calling for an end of the war in Donbass! You couldn’t make it – but I suppose trusting Anarchists in any situation is a ridiculous expectation.

Disabled Children Treated with Compassion!

Across China: Rehabilitation Assistance Brightens Future of Disabled Children! (21.1.2024)

Many Chinese families have benefited from the National Assistance System for the Rehabilitation of Disabled Children since its establishment in 2018. In Gansu, designated Rehabilitation Institutions for Disabled Children have increased from 30 to 205 over the past years.

The Provincial Government also invests over 43 million Yuan annually to support the Rehabilitation Institutions, and that figure is expected to increase to 63 million Yuan in 2024. Some cities and counties further adopt diverse development models, including Public-Private Partnerships, to include more Disabled Children aged between 6 and 17 in the Rehabilitation Assistance System.

With the efforts of Hongmeng Disabled Persons’ Service Centre, over 20 children have returned to Primary School, more than 30 have integrated into regular schools, and over 10 gained employment in restaurants after turning 18.

DPRK: Workers’ Party Delivers on New Houses! (12.7.2023)

With the unanimous will of all the people of Sindo County – he expressed a suitably ‘measured’ and ‘respectful’ warm gratitude of respect toward Comrade Kim Jong Un! Why the restraint? Well, Comrade Kim Jong Un is spreading the noble management policy of ‘People-First’ throughout this Socialist land – which is magnified through his outstanding ideas and great leadership! He already possesses an infinite noble virtue and carries-out this policy regardless of the response – simply because it is ‘right’ to do so!
