UK: Weird Things Happening in England – Bank-Hole Bar Protest! (21.1.2026)
Following the bar’s installation, one local commented on a Facebook post highlighting the bar’s installation: “I’m assuming this has been constructed to allow two people to pass through the hole at the same time, thus cutting down the queuing time down Bath Street.
Another wrote: “So who is going to be the first person to get stuck in the hole and have to be rescued by our brave fire brigade?”
A third added: “Council asked “how can we make money from this” and someone suggested the council should turn it into a bar.”
“I hear it is being turned into a HMO on the top half and a Turkish barbers at the bottom,” wrote another.
The bank are yet to publicly comment on or justify the reasons behind the installation, with many locals left baffled by the high street addition.
The swift pushback from locals and fans of the ‘Bank [trade name omitted] Hole’ alike quickly caught the attention of local MP Adam Thompson.
In a written response, the MP wrote that the hole had become an “iconic symbol” of the town, noting the bar’s installation had raised “concern and speculation among Ilkeston residents”.
“The hole is well known locally and has become something of a landmark,” he continued, insisting the whole is “one of those small quirks that contributes to Ilkeston’s unique character and identity.”
“I believe I speak for many residents in saying there is relief the pole has been removed,” he said.
Adding: “that being said, I’d appreciate some clarification as to why the pole was installed in the first place, and, if possible, the reason for its removal.”
Australia: Prominent [White] Activist -Robert Martin – Reverts to Islam! (20.1.2026)
During the event, Martin provided an extensive account of his childhood, describing a background shaped by neglect, instability, and prolonged periods within state care during the 1970s. He said he was frequently left unattended as an infant, prompting intervention by neighbours and authorities before being placed into institutional care.
He was adopted at the age of four, but said his early experiences had already resulted in deep psychological trauma. According to Martin, behavioural issues during childhood were often treated as personal failings rather than symptoms of neglect, a pattern he said reflected the limitations of welfare and mental health systems at the time.
By his early teens, Martin said he was regularly consuming alcohol and struggling at school. He reported being expelled from multiple institutions and later spending time in juvenile detention, including on his 16th birthday.

“What began with a shaky start, broken pedals, loose chains and a few punctures became a powerful reminder that no challenge is too big when brothers stand together. With the support team always ready, every setback was fixed, every rider lifted, and unity carried the group forward,” the charity said following their first day of riding.
The reason why M2H are embarking on this journey is to raise funds for Palestine, a cause they have labelled “a crisis beyond imagination”.
DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un’s Speech at Conference in Celebration of 80th Anniversary of Founding of Socialist Patriotic Youth League! (19.1.2026)
In the 1950s, the members of the democratic youth league defended their country in the flames of the war, and the Chollima movement pioneers rehabilitated this land on the debris of the war; in the grim period when the destiny of socialism was at stake, your parents’ generation defended their country, their social system. In this way, all the generations of our Republic have left behind legendary tales and structures, signs of their exploits, which are symbolic of their youth and which are named after their generations.
Shining on all these achievements are the feats performed by the youth league in implanting in the young people the sense of duty and obligation as befits the successors to the revolution and in firmly maintaining the tradition of purity, patriotism and loyalty of the youth movement of Korea.
WWII: András Kun (Андраш Кун) [1911-1945] – the Catholic Monk Executed for War Crimes! (18.1.2026)
Furthermore, the Vatican was permitted to retain ALL the advantageous it was granted by the Mussolini regime. After the war, the Pope asked Churchill to resettle 10,000 Ukrainian SS men in the UK on the grounds they were “good Catholics” – despite them raping, torturing, and murdering millions of loyal Soviet men, women, and children. This request was agreed and these Nazi Ukrainians were distributed throughout Scotland under the cover story that they were “Polish”. Andras Kun OFM appears to have been expelled from the St Franciscan (monastic) Order he was a member of in 1943 for refusing to stop his overt totalitarian support. Andras Kun was a member of the Order of Friars Minor (OFM) – a Catholic mendicant order founded by St Francis of Assisi in 1209 – which is dedicated to living the Gospel, practicing poverty, and fraternity, often called “little brothers” (Friars Minor) for their humility. A “monk” is not a “priest” – and although the monk Andras Kun was training to be a priest – he never qualified. It seems the Vatican abandoned him whilst he was tried and executed in Hungary – a staunch Catholic country – which is once again right-wing today.
