UK: £416.19 Victory for Disabled People – High Court Ruling Declared DWP’s Benefit Reforms Unfair & Illegal! (4.4.2025)

04/04/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The DWP claimed the changes were designed to “support” disabled people into work. However, there was no evidence that the reforms would actually improve employment outcomes. In fact, internal assessments suggested the opposite: more disabled people facing tougher conditions, sanctions, and loss of income.

This contradiction was a central part of the court’s ruling. Public Law Project lawyer Aoife O’Reilly called the decision a “vindication,” noting that public consultations must reflect reality—not political spin.

Backlash and Response

Disability rights organizations, legal experts, and even civil service unions welcomed the court’s judgment. Groups such as Inclusion London and the UK DDPO CRPD Monitoring Coalition are now urging the government to drop the reforms and restart the process—with disabled people at the table.

Consequence of Voting Labour: Wes Streeting to Axe Thousands of Jobs at NHS England After Ousting of Chief Executive! (26.2.2025)

26/02/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Only the rich will receive treatment – whilst the enriched health professionals who allow this – should be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity. Make no mistake about it, whilst NHS staff are imprisoned due to the effect of the cuts – the Labour government is deliberately and systematically destroying what is left of the NHS – at a time when Australia has refused to follow the UK path of subordination to US dictates! Whatever the case, the Western bourgeoisie at the moment, is in total disarray – as the fascist Trump stampedes around the political landscape – sharing metaphorical cigarettes with Kim Jong Un – as they both lean against a wall nervously awaiting the outcome of an important UN vote! China opposed the UN condemning of Russia for its self-defence fight against Neo-Nazi Ukraine – whilst Starmer’s New Labour voted “for”! The UN has never once condemned Israel for its “aggression” in Gaza – regardless of the body-count!

UK: The Revolutionary Spirit of Blake’s 7! (7.1.2025)

07/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

I watched the BBC SciFi series entitled “Blake’s 7” when it was first broadcast between 1978-1981. Like many, I was sad when the series ended. It grew out of Dr Who (Terry Nation) and reflected a left-wing uprising against a right-wing Fascist State. The late 1970s was the last time a left-wing Labour Party was in power. The British workers united and rose-up to secure their rights with strikes, mass demonstrations, and marches. During the 1970s, and as a reaction to the left-leaning Hippy movement of the 1960s, The British “National Front” (NF) was on the march with its rampant message of misogyny, racism, and wanton violence. This led to the defeat of the workers at the ballot box (that’s liberal democracy for you) and the advent of the fascistic Margaret Thatcher – a working class Tory who had benefited from the free milk given to school children, free healthcare, free education, subsidised social housing, and welfare support, etc. During her ten-year tenure – Thatcher took all this away from the British people!

Mei-An – Happy 12th Birthday! (8.5.2024)

08/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I was forced to go out and purchase extra food – little did I know at the time that Gee would end-up working as a NHS Midwife – albeit in another London Hospital! Gee’s waters partially broke on Saturday evening – but as this was her first baby – she was not sure about what was happening. As matters transpired, it took until Tuesday morning for the waters to fully break – and that was following medical intervention. Just prior to the birth – Gee was practicing Taijiquan in the Room! Twelve-years on, Mei-An is a student of Nonsuch School for Girls!

NHS: Enforced [Tory] A&E Crisis Kills Extra 14,000 Patients in Single Year! (2.4.2024)

02/04/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

LONDON, April 1 (Xinhua) — It was estimated that there were about 14,000 excess deaths in 2023 related to 12-hour-long-or-more waits in the accident and emergency (A&E) units in the United Kingdom (UK), according to a research result released here on Monday.

The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) made the research, using a method called the Standard Mortality Ratio, which calculates that there will be one additional death for every 72 patients that experience an eight-to-twelve-hour wait prior to their admission.

It revealed that more than 1.5 million patients waited 12 hours or more in 2023, and estimated that an average of over 268 patients died each week due to waits of 12 hours or longer.

Australia: New Report Finds People with Disabilities Facing “High Rates of Abuse & Exploitation”! (29.9.2023)

29/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The blogger draws a parallel between the treatment of disabled people in Australia and the controversial policies of the UK’s Tory and LibDems Coalition Government (2010-2015), accused of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ by a UN investigation for drastic cuts to support for people with disabilities. The blogger notes that this deprivation led to significant fatalities among disabled individuals. They compare the situation to Australia, where a landmark report calls for major reforms to make the country more inclusive for disabled people. The report, based on a four-and-a-half-year inquiry, recommended 222 changes, including passing a Disability Rights Act and ending segregated education by 2051.
