UK: Labour Party Issues Official “Everybody Happy” Signs! (15.4.2025)

Everything is directed toward the sustaining and strengthening the selfish individualism of predatory capitalism – whilst perfecting the avoidance and suppression of the collective selflessness that represents Socialism. As the current Labour Party takes away our jobs, homes, welfare, medical care, elderly care, culture, identity, and education – we are brainwashed to think that our suffering is in fact our “HAPPINESS” – and if we dare to rebel, to defy our own demise, then a Judge will imprison us for carrying a Red Flag in public, or standing in a street during a process. A land fit for heroes indeed!

Oxford: John Milton’s “Mounting Stone” – Forest Hill! (29.8.2024)

As to “why” Oxford Council resorted to this tactic is a matter of conjecture considering how overgrown the bank and stone is – and how difficult it is to actually locate the stone (there is virtually no signage). Perhaps a flat stone was becoming easily obscured by dirt, leaves and over debris – and an upright position rendered it better protected. John Milton (1608-1674) was a literary genius and esteemed poet who lived across the road from this stone and was a supporter of Parliament (and Oliver Cromwell) during the English Republic (1649-1660). His thinking was both progressive and Revolutionary! He (and his wife) were wealthy landowners in the area of the stone – owning property either side of St Nicholas Church in Forest Hill.

St Albans Abbey: Clock-Tower & Exterior Structure! (29.5.2024)

Ordinary peasants and aristocracy would get out of bed in the morning, work, eat, rest and go to bed at night according to the dictates of the Roman Catholic Church – the monasteries of which usually followed the Rule of St Benedict – or some similar Rule. Ordinary people did not have to learn how to tell the time – as the monastic orders told them what to do and when to d it. Following the “Dissolution” – secular society had to build their own clocks and learn to tell the time for themselves. This is how the measuring of “time” was rescued from the control of the Church. After 1539 – time no longer served God – but rather the lay-society that paid for and possessed the technical skills to construct the clocks! The policies of King Henry VIII – as mad as he may or may not have been (he had around 70,000 men and women hanged during his reign) – ushered the “modern” Britain that we now live within. I doubt, however, that Henry would have envisioned the end of absolute monarchy or the trivialising of the Church!

The Ongoing Saga of the British Workers Betrayed – Let’s Hope King Charles III Overthrows Capitalism! (6.5.2023)

The Bourgeoisie today, oppresses and disempowers the working class that helped it to secure the political power it has enjoyed since 1649 – and openly relates to (and fawns over) the aristocracy it has politically disempowered (but continues to materially empower at the cost of the physical and mental well-being of the workers)! This is where we are today – as a new ‘Pretend’ monarch is about to be ‘Crowned’ – whilst tens of thousands of ordinary British people remain disempowered, dispossessed and in abject poverty. None of this matters, of course, because the ruling Bourgeoisie has decreed that such an injustice is of no ongoing concern! Such is the betrayal of the British workers whose blood gave the Bourgeoisie power and whose labour constructed the palaces and mined the gems that serve as part of the Crown that a man in a dress will lower onto the head of another man in a dress!
