The Beautiful Devon Village of Kentisbeare - 1947!

UK: Yorkshire Puddings Are Made of It – Dead Fish Are Covered in It – On Why the MCC is “Wrong”!

My Dad learned cricket from the rich-boys who played on pristine pitches in the overwise bombed-out city of Leicester. These were Grammar School (posh) boys and my Dad was definitely not allowed to play. He was from an averagely poor working-class background. What he did was cleverly make himself useful to these privileged fools – so that they would slowly let him into a little bit of their affluent world. This is how he learned to play cricket. Many years later, when I was a child, the BBC would screen six-hours of cricket on a Sunday – I think BBC 2 – and my Dad would explain the game to me. This is how I learned to understand the rules of cricket. My Dad went on to found Tiverton Cricket Club as a player-manager – and I used to go with him as a child to roll the pitch a day before each match. On occasion, I would be at the game – mingling with the players – as I was young – I did not grasp “opposing sides” thing too well.

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.

Good-Bye Dad - Thanks for the Ride!

Torbay: My Father’s Funeral – Good-Bye Dad! (12.7.2026)

I refuse to set-foot in a Church that possesses such a hypocritical attitude. I will not compromise my political or spiritual view. All they care about is milking just one more penny from my father’s reputation – which cost people nothing when he was out waving. Cromwell had the right idea – as did Marx and Lenin – separate Church from State – and completely defund it. No political power, property, or influence. Torbay Social Services and the Management and Staff of Simpson Ward (NHS Hospital Torbay) are all criminals as far as I am concerned. They should be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity – and this includes any official who assisted this criminality. The British Labour Party (Starmer-Burnham) and the British Establishment – has earned my eternal scorn.

Father's Day 2026!

UK: Father’s Day Cards! (21.6.2026)

With regards Mother’s Day – the UK has a different day to that recognised universally. Why this is I do not know. Apparently, the UK invented Mother’s Day – which was originally the “Mother of Christ” Day. I am told that “Father’s Day” is the same in and outside the UK. So, there you have it. Anyway, my two daughters are still children and tend to give me cards. Parenting is a difficult and demanding undertaking and certainly not the starry-eyed pastime popular literature likes to portray. It is not romantic to say the least. Of course, children never understand the burden parenthood – and as parents we would do well to remember that we were once children. Although there is no standard rule-book – there are rules. It is hoped that common decency and common-sense hold sway and all difficulties navigated. And on the journey goes!

The Re-Arranged Family Shrine - 2026

UK: The Family Shrine Re-Arranged for the Passing of My Father! (18.6.2026)

Even if no member of a Chinese family has not trained in a formal spiritual order – incense will be regularly lit, and fresh flowers and fruit will be added every so many days. Of course, some shrines are kept-up at a greater degree than others – but this does not matter in the end. A family shrine is a door-way between one plane and another. It is a two-way structure that permits a solemn respect to traverse from the material realm into the immaterial realm – and allows a positive spiritual reality to emanate from the immaterial plane to the material realm. Today, I talked to my deceased father – and I did this via a photograph that my mother took and printed-out for me probably around 2010. The photograph was taken in the front garden of our old home at 2 Torbay Road, Torquay Road, Torquay, Devon (the shyster landlord took over a hundred thousand pounds in rent between 2002-2018 before applying a no-fault eviction because we requested a repair be made). As this was 16-years ago – my father would have been around 68-years old at the time. I suppose my father was at the peak of his power as an elderly person! Tomorrow we will collectively lit incense. It is the next stage of respectful mourning.

The Descendants of Our Grandfathers!

UK: Remembering My Grandfathers & Relatives on D-Day! (6.6.2026)

Historical reactions are rarely the spontaneous affair the State claim they are. In reality, most of time we are “told” what to think and do – being directed to react in a certain manner. This is all sealed by the false idea that we are acting “freely”. The fear of Socialism is a fabrication inserted into the mentality of the working-class by the bourgeoisie. It is a false-construct that originates from “somewhere else”. The bourgeoisie fears losing the power itself assumed through illegal force. It causes continuous wars that uses-up the bodies of the working-class for profit – whilst brain-washing the remainder to think that Socialism is “wrong”. This is like grooming a sick (or ill) person that the medicine they need is “wrong”. The patient is then left to “die” through a natural process of self-imposed withering. Whilst WWI was a working-class holocaust – WWII was a People’s War against World Fascism. Believe it or not – both China and Russia were the allies of the UK during WWII.
