Joseph Rowntree Foundation: UK Poverty 2026: The Essential Guide to Understanding “Deep” Poverty in the UK! (27.1.2026)

Disabled people face a higher risk of poverty. This is driven partly by the additional costs associated with disability and ill-health, and partly by the barriers to work that disabled people face. However, the proportion of disabled working-age adults in work increased from 42% in 2010/11 to 53% in 2023/24, while poverty rates remained steady over that period. In the latest data, there were 17 million disabled people in the UK — that is, 1 in 4 people (24%) — and almost 4 in 10 families contained at least 1 person who was disabled. The poverty rate for disabled people was 28%, 8 percentage points higher than the rate for people who were not disabled. Half of all people who were disabled and living in poverty in the latest data had a long-term, limiting mental condition — around 2.4 million people. The poverty rate for this group was 34%, compared with 28% for people with a physical disability.

US: Mass Killer Targets Christian Preachers! (27.6.2025)

27/06/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

When one Black-American commentator pointed-out that many UK Brexiteers were White racists – Galloway (who never supported the far-left “Lexit” movement) took offense and this particular individual was not invited back on his show. Another such curious character refers to herself as “Syrian Girl” – whom I assume is an Arab (I care so little about this vacuous individual that I cannot bring myself to even check). Syrian Girl was born in the West but supported the Assad regime – appearing on Galloway’s show numerous times. A few days ago, however, I was in formed that the far-right Mark Collett had not only invited Syrian Girl onto his weekly Neo-Nazi podcast – but that Syrian Girl had accepted! All Mark Collett does all day is make the most outrageous “racist” comments all day long by misrepresenting the news – with some of the most sexist and misogynist remarks being aimed at Arab and Persian women! These supposed leftists are nothing but “talking heads” with no real grasp about what is going on.

The Objective Study of Religion Through Logic and Reason! (26.3.2025)

26/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Needless to say, the learned Benedictine Brothers were not impressed with my missive – and certainly refused to print it in a Christian academic journal. One Brother took me to one side and explained that the Catholic concept of “Interfaith” was a misnomer – as its true purpose was to have the minds of Buddhists infiltrated by Catholic dogma – and for these Buddhists to “convert” to Christianity as a means to stop their heathen (non-White) souls descending into the fires of hell following their physical death. So far – so good. In military terms – this type of unscripted and quite often messy advance to gain intelligence about the enemy is termed “reconnaissance under fire”. The vehicle through which these Brothers delivered their condescending attitudes was one of racism and discrimination – disguised as religious piety (even those non-Whites who convert – are inferior to White Christians regardless of strength of belief). I was also informed that Asian Buddhists were invariably “Socialistic” – an ideology rejected by the Catholic Church.

George Foreman V Ron Lyle - January 24th - 1976

RIP George Foreman [1949-2025] – Fighter & Humanitarian! (22.3.2025)

22/03/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

On the other hand, George Foreman is such a genuinely good person that I simply cannot begrudge him his own successes – or condemn him for them. Good luck to him – and anyone else who can make money. I cannot do this – but I can recognise a truly spiritual human-being when I encounter such a person – and Mr George Foreman is just such a man. I am reluctant to speak of him in the past-tense – because I still feel his warm character that emerged from his emails around 20-years ago! He once said to me that he hates violence – but certain realities dictated that violence was needed in various stages of his life. I believe his come-back was motivated by the need to raise funds for his Church. He took the punches so that ordinary people could enter his Church, find peace, and live in love with one another. What a great man he was!

Adrian & Gee Valentine Cards! (15.2.2025)

15/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Until this year, I was completely unaware that February 7th is “Rose Day” in the UK! This falls just before St Valentine’s Day (Fedrusty 14th). I think many people conflate these two rituals as roses are often given on the 14th. I suspect there is an involved explanation for all this – perhaps pre-Christian (Pagan) verses Christian, etc. Whatever the case, Shakespeare seems to have known both these dates. Both dates are designed to renew assertions of love and affection between men and women.

US: Population Warned to Stop “Droning” On! (18.12.2024)

18/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

As the US government instils a sense of invincibility in its people – what constitutes this “threat” often takes on a definite “other-worldly” dimension! Even before WWII (and the later US-derived “Cold War”) – the sheep-like population of the US believed it’s country was under attack from Martians! Following a radio broadcast of HG Wells’ “War of the Worlds” (narrated by Orson Wells) in 1938 – widespread panic ensued as aeroplanes, kites, clouds, stars, and tricks of the light were reported all over the US as “UFOs”! Witnesses believed 100% that the US was being invaded by Martians armed with advanced weaponry and technology. Farmers armed with shotguns mistook unfamiliar water-towers for Martians already deployed on earth – and opened-fire!
