Reaction & Religion Go Hand in Hand!

UK: The Kind Idiocy of Mary Augusta Ward [1851-1920]! (24.3.2025)

It is incredible that someone such as Bishop Smith thinks that Mary Ward – the co-founder of the “National Women’s Anti-Suffrage League” – is a person worthy of remembering when she dedicated her life to preventing society from developing – a process which required the lifting of the religious ignorance that had dominated the West for over a thousand years. Furthermore, the White, middle-class and thoroughly “male” interpretation of Christianity Bishop Smith and Ward seem to be peddling has virtually nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ – and has more in common with the ramblings of St Paul – a fantasist who never met Jesus. The situation is probably more confusing than even this – as many of the letters ascribed to Paul – particularly the misogynistic editions – are thought to be forgeries.

Scotland: Church Ups Its Game – “Grooms” Dementia Victims to Gain “Private Property”! (19.3.2025)

Three elderly brothers who were conned out of their family farm by a church minister and a local businessman were not in the right state of mind to sign anything, a relative has told the BBC.

Helen Fraser said her cousins Hugh, Roderick and David McCulloch were “groomed” into signing power of attorney documents by the two men.

Reverend Ivan Warwick and businessman Douglas Stewart then sold the farmhouse and drained the bank accounts of the vulnerable victims, one of whom had dementia and the other two who were diagnosed later.

The case has led to calls for safeguards around the use of power of attorney – an issue more pressing with an ageing population and more people likely to get dementia.

Oxford: Police Break UK Law Via “Freedom of Speech” Arrest! (11.3.2025)

The UKs Absolute Monarchy was abolished in 1649 – as the axe fell on the neck of King Charles I – executed for “Treason”. Political power changed hands – moving from the aristocracy to the bourgeoisie – with each democratically elected government controlling the country through Parliament. A Constitutional Monarchy was eventually implemented by the bourgeoisie which sought to control the illiterate masses (most of whom had fought for Cromwell against the King) by making them believe the monarchy had been brought back and was looking for revenge (this illusion was partly upheld by the post-Restoration British State carrying-out a witch-hunt against all those who had signed the Death Warrant of King Charles I – murdering around two-hundred former politicians and military-men). This deception worked for hundreds of years until literacy and educational standards improved and the workers realised it was all a lie. Parliament has been in-charge of British society since 1649 – but has “employed” (as “Civil Servants”) a privileged “White” family to “act” as – or “Mimmick” – the behaviour of a Royal Family.

UK: Bleak Poverty Statistics "Wearily Familiar" - Joseph Rowntree Foundation! (6.2.2025)

UK: Bleak Poverty Statistics “Wearily Familiar” – Joseph Rowntree Foundation! (6.2.2025)

Larger families with three or more children have consistently faced a higher rate of poverty, it says: 45 per cent of children in large families were in poverty in 2022/23. Disabled people, carers, renters, people claiming benefits, and people in workless households were also at a disproportionately higher risk of poverty.

More recent figures were equally bleak, owing to the continued affects of the cost-of-living crisis. In October 2024, about 2.6 million of the poorest fifth of households (44 per cent) were in arrears with their household bills or behind on scheduled lending repayments; 4.1 million households (69 per cent) were going without essentials; and 3.2 million households (54 per cent) cut back on food or went hungry.
