UK: British Crown Symbol was Branded on Enslaved Africans! (15.9.2026)

The Captains were paid for the slaves, purchased sugar with some of this money, and then set-sail for England. The slaves, of course, particularly in the West Indies, were forced to work on the sugar plantations, but were further exported into the American hinterland – where they would farm cotton. The Americas consisted of vast open spaces but there were not enough White workers to exploit this space. Slavery was the answer – with thousands of slaves controlled by a handful of Whites. Until 1648 – the slaves branded with a “Crown” meant that they were the personal property of the (absolute) British Monarchy. After the 1648-49 Execution of Charles I (and the overthrow of the aristocracy by the bourgeoisie) – the absolute monarchy was abolished and the “Crown” symbol was re-directed to refer to the bourgeoisie (which now controlled the means of production) and the elected government that was voted-in by the masses to represent its interests. Of course, the “Crown” simply designated those slaves acquired and sold by the British – as opposed to those slaves acquired by other European nations. It was a marker of dominance – rather than direct ownership – as each slave was owned by whoever had provided money to purchase the rights of ownership (like a car or a house).

UK: Claudia Jones & the “Murder of Kelso Cochrane” – How the Concept of “Carnival” Began in the UK! (4.9.2026)

The problem is that White racism remains unchallenged in its depth by the dialectic of Marxist-Leninism – which if it was permitted to be unleashed fully – would totally uproot this last bastion of Eurocentric chauvinism. This is why Maoism remains so important for both truly progressive Whites and non-Whites together. In the thought processes of Mao Zedong there is a saving “Internationalism” that develops Marxist-Leninism to its ultimate conclusion. Until racism on the left is firmly dealt with – non-White (and progressive Whites) will be “alienated” by the very Communist ideology that is designed to save them. Finally, Davies mentions that there are “Black” alternative versions of how the carnival began – linking it to non-Communist migrants of the Windrush Generation. Even here we can see the watering-down of the “Communist” inspiration. This reminds me of how bourgeois leftists align themselves with the “Internationalist” working-class effort during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) – which was armed and financed by the USSR – whilst simultaneously claiming that “Communist” ideology had little (or nothing) to do with the world-wide opposition to fascism.

1970s South London School

UK: My Early Life in the 1970s School System! (15.7.2026)

Some Black people are like this in the UK – but not all. When stood queuing outside the London Aquarium once, a West Indian woman started racially abusing Gee and ramming a push-chair into the back of Gee’s legs – accusing her of being responsible for the queue. Being racist, she had no idea that Gee was with me. When she realised this – she looked worried and left. So, White-looking people can still be of some use to non-White people. You would be surprised at the extent of internecine in-fighting between non-White groups in the UK. Anyway, I am a proletariat “Internationalist” – Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. I was all this when I was born – but it took me years and years to work it all out. Marx was right and we will end-up living in a Communist paradise at some point in the future. This might be violent, peaceful, or quite natural. If you had told someone 500-years ago that the Catholic Church would be gone, the monarch beheaded, and society Secular today – they would have thought you made. And yet here we are.

Blinged-Up Egyptian Mummies Not Welcome in UK!

British MPs Call for “Deportation” of Unwanted Egyptian Migrants! (13.3.2025)

Many of these mummies arrived well before the Windrush generation – with none ever living in a British colony. It is believed the final leg of the journey saw the mummies arrive from the continent in small boats – imported by unscrupulous smugglers – for nefarious purposes. Once in the UK, such incomers become very difficult to remove, due to Human Rights legislation. The numbers then often multiply – as family members are discovered in their home countries (usually in a state of vagrancy) – and imported into the UK to complete highly lucrative exhibitions and displays.

History of Roman Occupation!

UK: Early Roman “Basilica” Found in London! (13.2.2025)

The site was discovered at 85 Gracechurch Street, an office building that’s about to be demolished and redeveloped.

Earlier archaeological investigations revealed the ancient basilica’s approximate location, so the team created several small test pits to see what was hidden beneath the concrete floor.

On the third attempt, digging between the filing cabinets, they struck lucky.

“You can see a huge chunk of Roman masonry, and it’s incredible that it survives this well. We’re absolutely thrilled that there’s so much of it here,” said Sophie Jackson.
