The Olde Sweet Shoppe - Kingston-Upon-Thames - Londn!

Kingston: Xmas Joy – Gee’s Birthday & Big Game – All on the High Street! (6.12.2025)

The greedy amongst us could still exercise “individualism” – whilst the workers sought a collective path to inner and outer freedom. Oh, how lucky we were! We all thought a Socialist Revolution was just around the corner and the UK would become a Soviet State! Then, the ogre of Thatcherism hove into view and hit us hard – and the workers lost all the hard-earned gains made with our blood toil before and during WWIi! Our children listen and ingest this deep meaning. Today, the Olde Sweet Shoppe is owned by an Asian family – but the male owner treated me with respect – and in so doing – he earned my respect. As an Englishman, I thanked him for treating my family with respect and politeness. Unlike the fascist, I don’t particularly care about who takes my money and processes my order. I wamt to transform the process away from exploitation – and not harm those who are active within it. There are many “White” English who are as ignorant as sh’t out there! They do not get a Free Pass from me just because they happen to have been born “English”. English people should behave to a higher standard – not lower.

Cultural Items Handed Back - 2022!

Exeter: Clothing, Feathers, Bow & Regalia Respectfully Handed-Back to Siksika Nation! (1.6.2025)

Chief Crowfoot said, “Bringing these items back home to Siksika is a historic event. Many items left Siksika and other Nations and were scattered across the globe. Now the tides are turning and these items are finding their way back home. Crowfoot’s entire essence is in and around Blackfoot territory and this is where his belongings should be housed.

“We are building strong relationships with curators at several museums as well as private collectors in an effort to bring items such as the ones coming home back to their rightful place. There are many more Blackfoot items still in need of being claimed and repatriated back to their rightful homeland. To me, it is not as important how these items left Siksika, but what is important is how we bring them back home.”

The Siksika Nation will lend Chief Crowfoot’s belongings to Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park for display and the education of all peoples around their significance as part of world history, together with their journey to the UK and their return to the Chief’s traditional homelands.

Dr Who William Hartnell

Doctor Who and the ‘Betrayal” of Its Futurist Ethos! (25.5.2025)

Decades later, Peter Capaldi starred in an episode that featured a large wall containing an impressive picture of VI Lenin! This is the Doctor Who that flirts with the far-left – when at no time did this series similarly flirt with the far-right (partly because such a dalliance would have been “illegal” at the time). Today, British society has visibly shifted to the right – where what was not tolerated in the past – is common-place today. At no time during the 1960s episodes was the hippy movement mentioned. Punk was not mentioned in the 1970s. Thatcherism was not mentioned in the 1980s. Doctor Who was cancelled during the 1990s and so had no chance to mention the collapse of the USSR. The Vietnam War was not mentioned, and neither was the Falklands War. The Golden Rule was that contemporary human society should not impinge upon the imaginary processes that fuelled Doctor Who’s scientific speculation.

Black Dr Who

UK: A Black Dr Who Requires a Black Script-Writer! (4.3.2025)

I do not like the new Shogun series as many of the lead-roles are played by Western-born Asian women – who “pretend” to be ethnically Japanese (again the script-writers are White). Japanese-born women are “Japanese” – they do not have to hide their “Americanness” to play a stereotypical part (usually the insane and deceptive temptress). I do not agree with the fascists – who hate everyone who possesses a different colour skin – but I do draw the line at White people thinking they can talk for non-White people. This is not an appropriate way of doing things. I do not like Nccuti Gatwa’s Dr Who because I can see clearly the dissonance between his “Blackness” and the “Whiteness” of the pen of RTD!

Revolutionary Blake's7! 2024 Bluray!

UK: The Revolutionary Spirit of Blake’s 7! (7.1.2025)

I watched the BBC SciFi series entitled “Blake’s 7” when it was first broadcast between 1978-1981. Like many, I was sad when the series ended. It grew out of Dr Who (Terry Nation) and reflected a left-wing uprising against a right-wing Fascist State. The late 1970s was the last time a left-wing Labour Party was in power. The British workers united and rose-up to secure their rights with strikes, mass demonstrations, and marches. During the 1970s, and as a reaction to the left-leaning Hippy movement of the 1960s, The British “National Front” (NF) was on the march with its rampant message of misogyny, racism, and wanton violence. This led to the defeat of the workers at the ballot box (that’s liberal democracy for you) and the advent of the fascistic Margaret Thatcher – a working class Tory who had benefited from the free milk given to school children, free healthcare, free education, subsidised social housing, and welfare support, etc. During her ten-year tenure – Thatcher took all this away from the British people!

Masterful Ma Baogou!

China: Ma Baoguo [马保国] – Latest Hot Dance in Nightclubs🤣! (16.12.2024)

I previously wrote about “The Antics of ‘Master’ Ma Baoguo (马保国)!” on our family martial arts blog! When I first saw his comic movement – I thought he was the “Chinese” Charlie Chaplin! Of course, at the peak of his income, Mr Ma could generate alot of income – trading-off the idea that he was a “Qigong Master”! Even the Chinese government has been forced to intercede on the grounds that this lovable fool might be doing himself “harm” will all the strange and exotic things he does for publicity. Why on earth a man well into his 60s would voluntarily attend a stage in a bustling Nightclub is beyond me! Whatever the reason9s) – his comic genius is once again on full display!
