Plugging in a microwave does not make a room a flat, a judge has ruled

UK: Judge Johns KC – “A Room Cannot Be Turned into a Flat Simply by Plugging in a Microwave!” (1.1.2026)

The owners also challenged that decision, but judges at another tribunal ruled in the council’s favour again, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

Judge Johns KC said a room could not “be turned into a flat simply by plugging in a microwave.”

He added there was “no relevant storage, no food preparation area” and that planning laws were supposed to “protect people in the occupation of their homes, not to encourage them to cook their own meals”.

Despite the second rejection, the company has now sought to appeal the verdict.

A hotel spokesman said the building stopped housing homeless people about two years ago.

Paul Wells, the council’s Conservative portfolio holder for licensing, said the authority was “delighted” with the ruling, which “sets a precedent for all local authorities that want to improve housing standards for residents”.

“Our teams worked exceptionally hard to achieve this result and deserve real credit,” he added.

Eire: Scientists Unearth Ireland’s Largest Prehistoric Hillfort Settlement! (1.1.2026)

Additional survey work revealed a unique structure near one of the trenches. The flat interior outlined by large stones, uncommon for roundhouses at the site, made it unlikely to be a prehistoric roundhouse itself. From previous surveys, it was known that a stream flowed into the structure from a rocky outcrop uphill.

Given its shape and size, it is hypothesized that this might be a Bronze and Iron Age water cistern like those found elsewhere in Europe. Because Brusselstown Hill would have had to accommodate a large population, a source of freshwater would make sense. If further investigations confirm the structure to be a water cistern, it would represent the first of its kind in an Irish hillfort.

More research is needed to better understand the extent and nature of Brusselstown Hill’s potential water cistern, establishing the nature and chronology of the enclosing elements and better understanding how and why the settlement may have been abandoned.

Opposing Russia’s multiculturalization due to the invasion of Ukraine and aiming to ‘overthrow the Putin regime,’ he organized the RVC in August 2022 and began an armed struggle. The group, which displays the slogan “Only our victory brings peace to Russia” on its website, led surprise invasions into the Russian mainland regions of Bryansk and Belgorod across the Ukrainian border in 2023 and 2024. They have conducted regular warfare against Russian forces in major battlegrounds such as Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, supported by Ukraine’s Defense Ministry-affiliated intelligence agency (GUR).

Venezuela: Celebrating the Rights of Women Across the World! (31.12.2025)

31/12/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

🔸 My special greeting to the women of Venezuela, from the powerful Josefa Joaquina Sánchez Movement.

🔸 This school has to train the #Liderazgo of women, who are the majority leaders in the people. We are going to train them for transformative action.

🔸 It’s a miracle what we have experienced since 2021 with #Mujeres who used their creativity; that has already been consolidated.

🔸 We have 2,800,000 women incorporated into the great Movement of Movements. A good advance in 28,000 of the 49,000 Communal Councils, but we are heading there!

🔸 What a joy that this school has its epicentre in the state of Aragua, a land of liberators where big dreams are born.

🔸 I propose that it be the women who lead the ‘Admirable Challenge – Forever! (RA-2026). The challenge of 2026.’

UK: How the BBC Sank the Titanic for a Second Time – and Still Managed to Omit the Chinese! (30.12.2025)

30/12/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The BBC recently tried to seduce the licence-fee paying public with a four-part mini-series regarding the sinking of the Titanic. Two so-called “experts” were ex-military – one had been wounded in the illegal war in Afghanistan and the other surveyed the sinking of a Royal Navy ship during the Falklands War – whilst a third was described as a “Psychologist of Disaster” – a YouTube qualification if ever I have heard of one. Dodgy qualifications aside (the ex-military “experts” did not possess the objectivity of thought to even cognise the falsehood of te causes they killed others in the name of) but most the facts were as false as the narratives being established. There was the usual ahistorical presentation of the make-up of today’s UK being projected into the past – where it did not exist. The Titanic was made to look like a present-day mini-UK – as if this is normal in the past, present, and future.

PRC Embassy Protests Demolition of “Panama-China Friendship Park”!

30/12/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This monument declaring “China-Panama Friendship” is situated on a mountain over-looking the Panama Canal (in fact, from what I have read regarding travelogues, this mountain it is quite remote and difficult to access) – and Trump believes this symbolises a Chinese declaration of “control” of the Canal. The Park was built in 2004 by funds raised by various overseas Chinese organisations – with support from the Mainland Chinese government (which provided two stone lions). Chinese people first arrived in Panama in 1854 (during the Qing Dynasty – probably fleeing the highly destructive Taiping Uprising and the Hakka-Punti Clan Wars). Indeed, this park is officially termed the “150th Anniversary Monument to the Arrival of Chinese in Panama” (1854-2004). Ironically, Panama declared (also in 2004) that “March 30th” would be “Chinese People Day” (华人日 – Hua Ren Ri). The way things are going, I suspect “Chinese People Day” will soon be abolished. I have been agitating for years that China should stop using US English in its translations – the language of the enemy.
