George Galloway - Christian Saint or Islamic Profit!

UK: Galloway the Feudal Overlord – Q&A in a Nutshell! (2.10.2025)

Indeed, it has been Jewish workers who have often led this movement. It is not a movement imposed upon Judaism by outsiders – but a Jewish movement that has requested international assistance from the outside. Not all Zionists are Jews – and the Zionist Authorities often brutalise Jews who disagree with the oppression of the Palestinians. Galloway has done a great dis-service to this movement by bringing it into disrepute. Anti-Semitism (which has no place in assisting the Jews) has seeped in due to his rhetoric and tactics. More than this, perhaps the greatest distortion is how Galloway links the fighting of Zionism with the supporting of Islam. As the far-left defines ALL theistic religion as contributing toward the problem (including Catholicism by the way) – siding with one religion other another has NOTHING to do with a genuine far-left resistance to Zionism. 

Two Rectory Eagles Restored!

Sutton: St Nicholas Church – Where Stone Eagle’s Dare! (13.9.2025)

Why did a Sutton Town Planner come up with the idea of a) demolishing the Old Rectory (which should have been a listed building), and b) placing the Gate-Eagles on two-plinths jutting-out of Council Flat walls? Was this an example of Free Masonry gone mad – or madder than their usual schemes? I spent about 15-minutes talking with a local historian in St Nicholas Church, Sutton, during an exhibition of the stain-glassed window and various stones. He told me that the Rectory Gates were originally in West Street – but the eagles ended up on the main road situated on the exterior walls of the new Council Houses – now named “Beech Tree Place” – effectively around the corner in a different street.

Highgate Cemetery - Carrying the Red Flag!

UK Workers Carrying the Red Flag! (21.8.2025)

If the Working Class is not yet free – then carrying the Red Flag represents hope and defiance of the status quo – whilst simultaneously serving notice of the intention of the Proletariat to seize the means of production. The Red Flag is not a statement of allegiance to a (fake) bourgeois notion of nationalist belonging. The Red Flag is not a confirmation of an ethnic or religious outlook. The Red Flag is not a statement of gender or sexual orientation. The Red Flag represents much more than all these passing things. Workers are first and foremost Proletariats – as we have nothing to sell but our labour. Only after this “Internationalist” and “Collective” identity is acknowledged do things like countries, religions, identities, gender, and sexual orientation, etc, come into play.

Stairway to Heaven!

Northants: Kirby Hall – [1570] Elizabethan Home of Nobility! (1.8.2025)

This building reminded us in structure of Hampton Court (not far from where we live in London) – and Berry Pomeroy in Totnes, South Devon (not far from where my parents live). This is not surprising, as I believe from reading the available “English Heritage” literature that the same architects and engineers were used by the Court of Queen Elizabeth I and the nobility that served her. The front of the Hall faces North – with the back of house facing South (built on a North-South orientation). Local serfs (landless or homeless peasants) and peasants (land-occupying peasants) were employed by the nobility when large-scale building projects were initiated. Indeed, with the development of Guilds (primitive unions) – certain groups of peasants became highly skilled in specific construction and maintenance skills. Whether any such labour was employed from nearly Kirby Village, (situated to the South-West of what became the ornate rear garden of the complex), is open to debate.

Priest House - Easton-on-the-Hill - Family

Easton-on-the-Hill: Priest House [Chantry] 15th Century! (28.7.2025)

Although we have visited the general area a number of time – we had never seen this exhibit or been told about it. As we are currently staying in the locale – this place came-up in an internet search about something else. Like many such attractions, even at the height of Summer, there is only ever a trickle of visitors – which is a good thing for all concerned. We were handed the key, instructed to be careful on the old spiralling stone staircase, and turn-off all the lights when we are finished. There is even a toilet on site that is accessed with a key. Everything was perfectly clean, tidy, and in good order. Our two-daughters watched a short video film about the area, its history and industry! The photographs will tell the story of what we saw. A truly magnificent historical site that emerged out of the single most important and Revolutionary event (the “Dissolution of the Monasteries”) that forged modern Britain and the world!

I Will Keep An Eye on the Ideological Direction of the Palestinian Communist Party!

Palestinian Communist Party: Joint Statement of Communist and Workers’ Parties – Stop the “Genocide” in Gaza! (24.5.2025)

The dominant (dialectically distorted) Trotskyite view is that the “capitalist” nature of modern Russia supersedes the “Neo-Nazi” nature of modern (Catholic) Ukraine. This is because Leon Trotsky supported fascism and the Catholic Church (in 1938 he openly called upon his followers to support Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito in any far-right attack upon the USSR) – with Trotskyite fighters opposing the Socialist (USSR-supported) side during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), etc. Personally, I think it is morally repugnant that Ukrainians be included on this list – but Russians excluded (exclude both or include both – not one over the other – although Russia does have precedence due to its anti-fascist war)). I think that in the future I will seriously reconsider whether I will share anything from the Communist Party of Palestine if this is its guiding ideology.
