London: Croydon LTNs Ruled “Unlawful” by High Court – Used to Boost Council Finances! (7.3.2026)

The legal challenge was spearheaded by local resident Karen Lawrence and the pressure group Open Our Roads. Following a complex legal battle that began in May 2024, Mr Justice Pepperall ruled on Wednesday (March 4) that the council had abused its statutory powers.

He found that the council’s primary motive for implementing the traffic restrictions was to raise revenue, which falls outside the lawful scope of the relevant legislation. LTNs are residential areas where through traffic is restricted by measures such as planters and cameras, in an effort to improve road safety and air quality.

The court’s decision examined Croydon Council’s broader financial position in relation to the LTNs. The judgement referenced the council’s Section 114 bankruptcy notices issued in 2020 over a projected £67 million shortfall.

DPRK: Europe in Trouble Due to US-Enforced Support for Neo-Nazi Ukraine! (23.2.2026)

Four years have passed since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis. After confronting Russia as a Western assault brigade, Ukraine has ended up on the defensive. It has lost countless soldiers and its economy is in ruins. Even according to the extremely underestimated figures released by the Ukrainian army, there are around 200,000 deserters and 2 million draft evaders. The total lack of young people ready to fight has led to the introduction of a law that imposes compulsory conscription for those over 60.

This report sets out the nature of poverty in the UK, and evaluates changes under the last Conservative-led Government. It also sets out the scale of action necessary for the current Government to deliver the change it has promised.

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: Ticking Time Bomb as Debt Reaches New High! (8.11.2025)

“The reality is that we’re becoming distressingly numb to our own dysfunction. We fail to pass budgets, we blow past deadlines, we ignore fiscal safeguards, and we haggle over fractions of a budget while leaving the largest drivers untouched. Social Security and Medicare, for example, are just seven years from having their trust funds depleted – and you don’t hear anything from our political leaders on how to avoid such a disaster,” Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget President Maya MacGuineas said in a statement.

The critique lays bare America’s fiscal predicament, that is, political numbness toward systemic failures has become normalized.

While both parties remain deadlocked in partisan disputes over budgetary deals, they persistently avoid addressing the root cause of debt expansion.

The U.S. is stuck in a perpetual cycle of issuing new debt to service existing obligations—a spiral with no exit in sight. This relentless accumulation suggests the national debt bomb is destined to keep growing.

UK: Far-Right Ideology as a “Grooming-Led” Mental Illness! (13.10.2025)

It does not help that British citizens are permitted to travel to Zionist Israel and join the military there to commit genocide in Gaza – or travel to Neo-Nazi Ukraine to fight for the Hitlerite military formations with absolutely no recriminations from the British State. On the other hand, for over a hundred years (since the 1917 Russian Socialist Revolution) the US and its Western European satellites have routinely and continuously demonised Socialism and ridiculed “love” and “compassion” – clearing all opposition to the far-right in the Western mind. This one-sided and conditioning toward the far-right intensified after 1945 and the Red Army’s remarkable victory over Nazi Germany. Being brought up in the era of the US exporting its own particular brand of anti-intellectualism, the youth of the West were erroneously taught that up was down, left was right, back was front – and all kinds of other contradictory falsehoods.

China: People’s Credit Evaluation System Defined! (25.9.2025)

Yes – China interfaces with the capitalist West – and generates its own wealth through trade (as Lenin and Mao suggested). To do this, the two respective banking systems, whilst remaining separate and distinct, must possess mechanisms that reflect one another – and enable efficient interaction. As China did not possess an effective credit-rating system prior to 2012 – quite often the dishonesty of feudal times raised its head as people started hunting for profit for profit’s sake – and leaving their fellow citizens behind (an illegal act within the Socialist System). Now, China has a credit-rating system that emphasises honest interaction over dishonest exploitation. Despite the deluded Western imagination inventing all kinds of delirious speculations – encouraging honesty is the only reason for the Chinese credit-rating system.
