St Michael's Cathedral was destroyed during the Coventry Blitz, in which 554 people were killed

UK: Coventry Cathedral – WWII Ruin – Reconstruction Drive! (30.9.2026)

My paternal grandmother – Gladys Wyles – would tell us stories about how she lived in Leicester during WWII. She remembered the bombing of nearby Coventry and how the Luftwaffe pilots came down on parachutes amongst the streets. Many were so polite and smart that the UK government permitted them to roam freely around the city carrying-out various aspects of rescue and reconstruction work. Many were glad to be out of the war – but considering how many British were killed in their bombing-raids – it is interesting that such POWs were not routinely attacked out of revenge. I have never visited Coventry.

UK: Sign Petition to Remove Zionist-Supporting “Pink” [Alecia Beth Moore-Hart] from UNICEF Ambassador Role! (23.9.2026)

Pink’s recent comments are not just unfortunate but also incompatible with the role of a UNICEF Ambassador—an individual expected to promote peace, understanding, and humanitarian values above personal biases. UNICEF’s mission is to uphold the rights and dignity of all children, regardless of political affiliations or geographic boundaries. We rely on ambassadors to be torchbearers of these principles, fostering inclusive dialogue and meaningful support.

Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) group visited the iconic landmark in Paris on Saturday

France: Investigation After Female Staff at Eiffel Tower Replaced By “Men” for Religious Visit! (9.9.2026)

Yes – I have visited Paris with my Chinese family members, my mixed ethnicity children, and their family and friends – but this does not necessarily mean that an intolerant attitude should be encountered due to me engaging “difference”. I did expect more from France simply on account of its Socialist Revolution and its great thinkers. Once, when crossing a road in a French suburb – a car stopped and about four young skin-heads got out pointing at me and my Chinese partner – shouting in French. They only left when other French drivers stopped and started shouting at them. I have a number of such stories (French students once blocked my exit from a left-bank cafe – but they were ordered by the owner to move out the way). Following the 1789 Revolution – the Catholic Church was abolished and all religion uprooted. Napoleon did allow a limited form of religion providing the Church remained subordinate to the State. And here we are. The “Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS)” has been accused of sexual abuse of children, false imprisonment, and trafficking,, etc. Whilst France “bans” Islamic dress – the French Establishment bends over backwards to accommodate a bizarre Hindu cult and its sexist attitudes.

Researchers have helped to unearth the earliest known evidence of human existence in Ireland

Eire: Ancient Land-Bridge Links Wales to Ireland! (6.9.2026)

Eight of them were found to have cave art which they believe dates from at least 15,000 years ago and possibly much earlier, and around 5,000 years before the previous oldest example of humans in Ireland.

The team are currently unwilling to be more precise about the location of the caves, for fear that they may be vandalised or looted.

“We know that modern day south Wales was settled from around 35,000 to 40,000 years ago, by intrepid early modern humans from southern England, France and Spain, crossing the then dried-up land bridges of the English and Bristol Channels – seasonally settling in caves along the inhabitable strip of land stretching from Chepstow to St Davids,” said Nash.

“Over 20,000 years their art progressed from primitive line drawings which may have been early tally charts, to more figurative and representative depictions of the world around them, and what we’ve found in Ireland is yet another progression from that.”

The rock art which the Lost Land Bridge Project has uncovered includes engravings on the cave walls, paintings in ochre and charcoal and line sketches indented into clay and earth by fingertips.

Africa is Bigger in Reality!

UN: Sane Countries “Vote” To Make Accurate World Maps! (5.9.2026)

I am not convinced “a wrong-sized Africa” was a deliberate racist endeavour. I mean, why bother doing something this petty or ridiculous? Explorers literally used a quill and drew what they saw whilst leaning over the side of a ship (we collectively owe these people so much – with the caveat that the East possessed its map-makers as well). Old maps of the UK look “like the UK” – although the shape is highly distorted whilst remaining mostly correct (the general idea can be worked with). Remember, there was no viewing from high above, except for the odd hill. Let accuracy reign. As regards the UN – it vary rarely condemns the US or Israel for the crimes those regimes routinely commit (the UN has ruled that Israel is committing “Genocide” in Gaza – but only after South Africa initiated legal action against Tel Aviv) – and when both these countries illegally attacked Iran – the UN criticised Iran for daring to “defend itself”. When the US bombed a school and murdered 168 school-girls (more than the number of countries that voted for the map-change) – the UN said “nothing”. When the US bombed a wedding in Iran – the UN said “nothing”. It would seem that the “moral compass” of the UN needs fixing.

In the course recently concluded in Cuba, 735 young people from 62 countries graduated. Photo: Dunia Álvarez Palacios

Cuba: An International School for Health & Hope! (3.9.2026)

At the end of this academic year, Cuban universities delivered 30,185 new professionals to the country and the world. Engineers, architects, pedagogues, scientists, nurses, technologists… Young people who have sweated in the classrooms, who have studied with just the right resources, who have overcome fatigue and adversity to become what this country needs to move forward.

Among those 30,185 there are 735 young people from 62 countries. Students who came from all continents – Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe – who shared desks with Cubans, who learned our language, our medicine, our solidarity, our way of understanding life as service. Who return to their lands with a degree and, also, with a way of seeing the world that is not taught in any manual.

And among them, two figures should make the blindest pause: 23 new Palestinian doctors.

Young people who will return to their land – a land that burns under bombs and rubble – not with weapons in their hands, but with stethoscopes around their necks. With the knowledge to save lives in the place in the world where it is most needed. With the ethics that Cuban medicine instills: first the human being, then everything else.
