UK: Waitrose & Tom Boyd – A Working Example of Disability, Discrimination & the “Invalidation of the Worker”! (23.10.2025)

In a post on Facebook, she wrote: “Our hearts are broken and we need to share this..

“Our autistic son has been treated so unfairly, and we feel deeply let down.

“For over four years, he’s been doing work experience at Waitrose and Partners store in Cheadle Hulme.

“Every week, for two full mornings, he worked so hard – emptying four or more cages of stock, stacking shelves, and helping wherever he could.

“He loved it there. The shop staff were absolutely amazing with him and made him feel part of the team.

“Many of them would say things like, “You work harder than some people who are paid to work here.

“He gave over 600 hours of his time – purely because he wanted to belong, contribute, and make a difference.

“When we asked if there was any chance he could be offered just a few paid hours – not as charity, but as recognition for all the time, effort, and heart he’s given – we were shocked by how dismissive and cold the response was.

“The manager said, “We can’t just let him do his thing,” when that’s exactly what he’s been doing successfully for years.”

She continued: “After everything he’s done, there was no apology, no thanks, and no recognition for his commitment. Just silence.

Auditing is Working on the Dole!

UK: Boxing the Ears of So-Called “Auditors”! (22.10.2025)

The great lie is that through their actions – auditors are doing something “special” and “important” for society – when in fact they are spreading disinformation, terror, and fascistic horror. The best way to deal with auditors is to remain silent and walk away. What the government needs to do is pass legislation that criminalises “malicious” filming designed to generate monetary profit under the false guise of supporting “civil rights”. This latter attempt at a justification is particularly fanciful as many auditors are directly linked to far-right groups and routinely make homophobic, trans-phobic, misogynistic, racist, ablest, and discriminative comments when their bad behaviour in public is challenged – as a means to “please” and “satisfy” their regular viewers. The UK is not the US – and auditors are not supporters of “civil rights” – far from it – these individuals are self-serving tyrants who accuse those who protect us on a daily basis of being the very thing their fascist ideology allows them to be.

UK: Neo-Nazi Music Producer – Plus His 2 children – Jailed After Leeds Music Gig! (17.9.2025)

If unions still had power, there would be well-paid jobs for life. If the Local Council still possessed a legal requirement to maintain Council Houses and home every vulnerable person in need – there would be no homelessness. If the Benefits Systems still reflected the true wealth of this country, and fairly redistributed funds, there would be no poverty. If the government subsidised and controlled food pricing, there would be no starvation. If the government controlled the schools, British children would still receive a world class education and be fed properly during school-time. Furthermore, our graduates would not leave University with £30-40,000 worth of debt just as their adult lives are beginning. If the NHS was properly funded, staffed, and stocked, everyone could receive immediate world class treatment – free at the point of use.

China: Flesh Embraces Steel in New Age of Prosthetics Aesthetics! (17.9.2025)

This is because the disabled suffer the greatest extent of discrimination – and many sympathetic able-bodied know that if they step out of line with their able-bodied colleagues – then doors are shut. Indeed, one comment was left at the foot of my article stating that “It is the fault of the disabled. All their extra needs are a burden to the average worker. Why should the average worker make any extra allowances for disabled individuals when they contribute nothing to the system, and are a drain on society? As the disabled produce little (or no) material gain and/or surplus profit through their labour – why should (the workers) share what little they have with them?” And this comment derived not from the right – but from the left! Today, I see comments like this on virtually ALL right-wing and far-right forums – with the left remaining quiet on the subject – whilst simultaneously doing nothing about it! This is the debilitating world of stifled intellectualism we live in in the West. Compare this with the giant strides being made in Socialist China!
