Lapland - Capitalist Utopia!

Scotland: Capitalist Dream “Crushed” as Taxiing Lapland Aeroplane Experiences Unscheduled “Act of God”! (15.12.2025)

. In the late 1930s, the Finns accepted a large slice of Soviet land in return for a small area of Finnish land (the Soviets thought this area easier to defend in the event of a war). The Finns agreed to this – took the Soviet land and then refused to hand-over the agreed Finnish land in return. This led to the Winter War (1939-1940). The Finns received support and arms from the West, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy – before losing the conflict and being forced to hand-over the disputed land. Once Hitler had invaded the USSR, the Finns immeditely joined-in the attack in what they called the “Continuation War” (1941-1944) – focusing their efforts on the North-West area of the USSR. The Finns committed endless atrocities against Soviet Red Army soldiers – and like the Nazis Germans (their allies) – the Finns liked to photograph and film their War Crimes. When it became obvious Hitler was losing the war – the Finns wanted to avoid being invaded and liberated by the Soviets – and so made a separate peace. After the war, Finland faced NO WAR Crimes Trials and was re-packaged as a friendly and inviting country within which “Father Christmas” resides and all children can experience endless merriment and merth. Of course, as capitalism rules the roost – this scenario is an illusion that can be purchased for a price – with the stipulation that the “Buyer Beware”! These children have experienced the first crushing disappointment of their lives – capitalism will ensure that many more will follow!

Man dies after falling from lamppost putting up Union Jack flag... Oh No - Anyway

UK: “He Died as he Lived – Making No Difference to Anything!” (13.12.2025)

Generally speaking, outside of fake patriotism, genuine British people are naturally rebellious and reject any attempt at the current Establishment attempting to force their coloured cloth upon us. The bourgeoisie oppress the workers using the very George Cross (a “foreign” and “imported” flag) and Union Jack (the product of invading other countries by those who control us) – and it is these bits of coloured cloth that an Englishman lost his life trying to (illegally) hoist from a local lamp-post – when he slipped and fell. Ironically, the bourgeoise prefers to brain-wash the working-class so that it voluntarily chooses to “die” for a piece of coloured cloth – in relation to other – opposing – bits of coloured cloth. Whose coloured cloth is superior? Whose coloured cloth is preferable? As the Red Flag derives from a killed worker whose shirt was covered in his blood (this shirt was hoisted onto a stick to serve as a flag) – perhaps this is the only flag the workers should be supporting. Some workers prefer the black flag of Anarchy – but generally speaking, anarchists cannot be trusted.

Market Overton - 17th Century Window!

Market Overton: 17th Century Window! (6.11.2025)

What is now the dining area – where I set-up my study space – was probably once part of the garden. Therefore, the window itself was once considered the height of building technology. In those days, draughts from blowing winds were a major issue. The frame of this window is firmly embedded in the wall-structure so that no wind can penetrate. The cement and plaster hold it robustly in place – whilst its relatively small surface area allows for strength and stability. As glass was not as strong then as it is now – the panes of glass used were far-smaller – with each held in-place by its own frame. Furthermore, and a feature I like, is the central pane that possesses a stout hinging and opening and shutting mechanism. Even today – this design still retains much of its original strength – whilst being now inside the house means it is now better preserved.

Rutland - Market Overton - Ancient Village Stocks!

Rutland: Ancient Village Stocks & Whipping Post on Market Overton Green! (25.10.2025)

In the old days, the local Courts would often sentence local people to a set-time in the Stocks. With their hands and feet firmly manacled into the device – the interested village population could take it in-turns to throw rotten fruit and vegetables – together with animal waste and other such horrible substances, at the condemned. This was at a time when long sentences of imprisonment were not yet used as a punishment. This treatment was designed to be so humiliating that a villager would not dare commit a similar crimnal act in the future – or at least that was the intention.

Playing Cricket in the Back Yards of UK Cities!

UK: British Council Film Archive ([1950] – Cricket Documentary! (25.9.2025)

At his peak, however, he was a very good all-rounder wielding the bat and ball. When a child, my father taught me all the rules of cricket and this is why I know a) how to play the game, and b) what is going on when watching it (we support Leicestershire County Cricket Club – and we watched them play once). I have tried to teach my partner and children – but the modern youth now have the internet to take their attention! I have played “in-door” cricket – as well as cricket on a proper pitch – and I never wore a helmet (I couldn’t afford one). When standing at the crease – the mind must be calm and expansive – clear and reflective. Peace and self-control must permeate reality – whilst the bat and ball must be properly utilised in a technically perfect manner. There is no hatred for the opposition – or unnecessary attachment to one’s team-mates – all are equal to the true gentleman. This is why I refer to cricket as a form of English Confucianism!

Charlie was Pro-Gun Ownership and was Socially Conservative!

UK: Charlie’s Neck Wound was Fatal – But the Kirk Reassured Him – Despite the Discrepancy with the Date! (23.9.2025)

Although plundered, dismantled, and generally neglected, the stone slabs that constituted the centra aisle of the Chapel of St George were firm and intact. Although Henry VIII had only been dead for around 100-years – and given that much of his reforms had led directly to the Civil Wars – it is incredible to think that nobody remembered where he was buried. That is until the occupying Parliamentarians, having hit one of the slabs with a stick, noticed a hollow noise was returned. Having accidently re-discovered Henry’s tomb – it was decided that Charlie would be laid to rest with his fellow despots – even though he was a Stuart from Scotland and Henry was a Tudor from Wales. Although decisively hit in the neck by the executioner’s blow (using an axe) – there is some disagreement as to whether the head of Charles was sown back upon his neck – which was the usual practice. Some say “yes” – whilst others say “no”. Whatever the case, when Charlie gave the agreed signal – the executioner brought-down the axe and the bigoted rhetoric of Charlie suddenly came to an abrupt end.
