Field-Stripping Devices is an Important Skill!

Surrey: Gee & Kai-Lin Field Strip & Assemble a Wooden Stool! (29.5.2026)

Anyway, we visited the “Rural Life Living Museum” (ob May 28th, 2026) – not far from the log-cabin area we were staying at in Tilford (a bourgeois cesspit of wealth). We have visited similar places not far from Sutton, and also in Oxford, Devon, and Cornwall. Many Moons ago, I visited places like this in the Lake District and in Scotland. They are essentially centres of education for school-children – and for adults to reminisce. My childhood (pre-Star Wars) was a very different reality to that which exists today. The working-class pre-1977 were very localised in mentality – with the middle-class attending university and developing a world-wide appreciation. This difference in education always benefits the middle-class who understand more and are able to use this knowledge to keep the workers in their place. Stll, it was a good day out and I will have to author a number of posts to cover it all.

Marx On Animals

England: Local Council Elections (London) – How a Postal Vote Works! (24.4.2026)

Of course, the centralised democracy found within Marxist-Leninist countries is far more empowering – but we have to operate where we find ourselves in reality. This New Labour Party is now the enemy of the people. What once acted as a vehicle for many different types of Socialist Movements to gain power(although its middle-class leadership “Proscribed” the Communist Party in 1921) – it is now a soft-conservative sand thoroughly reactionary entity that is shutting down the NHS and torturing the nation’s elderly and disabled. We are not the US and we should not kow tow to the US industrial military complex. We are English and should display some bollocks in this matter! We should stand our ground. I grew-up in a Socialist Britain that was like a Soviet State with very little in common with the US. We must vote as far-left as possible to serve the best interests of the workers. I remember Joseph Stalin stating that he often thought of a poor family suffering due to unemployment – and based all his policies on relieving this injustice. Again, stand your ground. Vote as you will – but maintain your freedom of thought!

Both plaques were found in scrapyards in Essex, with one substantially damaged

UK. Stolen Kent WWI Memorial Recovered & Replaced! (10.1.2026)

Although we are not Christians (we have nothing against Christianity – if only it were literally true – or that everyone took Christ serious) – but we are forever in and out of old churches seeking out “old” and “esteemed” history. Our children view churches not as alien places we should not go – but rather as the venerable search-engines of the past (when the Church was the sole preserver of data) into modern focuses of spiritual endeavour in a brutal and material world. Of course, we do not support war, especially imperialist war, but as ordinary workers ourselves, we respect the effort that each ordinary man and woman went through (including the terror of war) who were forced to served in the Armed Forces through circumstance and condition.

Jammie Booker Shifting a Heavy Log!

Texas: Andrea Thompson – “Something ‘Dodgy’ About Jammie!” (27.11.2025)

Furthermore, those who train naturally are usually slim and yet far stronger than those who take steroids and build-up unnatural muscle bulk that lacks contraction strength. Of course, the Press is on an anti-trans feeding frenzy at the moment – busy demonising a biological man who wants to identify as a “woman”. His cause is not helped by the fact that Jammie Booker is a well-known porn-star – renowned for his ample appendage – which is still attached. Andrea Thompson, for her part, made transphobic statements when she came second – but soon changed her tune when she was declared the winner. She was reminded that the trans community supports her fully in all her endeavours – whilst she has back-tracked away from her (less than flattering) White-adjacent attitudes and behaviour post-competition.

UK: Shetland Organisation of Knitters “Shocked & Saddened” by Representation in Channel 4 “Game of Wool” Show! (7.11.2025)

Small patterns in Fair Isle are referred to as “peerie patterns”, but Leask has said they “would never” refer to them as “peeries”.

“That’s never been used by a Shetlander,” she said.

“A lot of Shetlanders have said they have never even heard of that.”

Leask described the misinformation in the show as “frustrating”, and said knitters locally spent a lot of their time having to clear up similar confusion with visitors to the isles.

SOK worries now that Game of Wool will have a further damaging effect on misinformation around Shetland knitting.

“The SOK are having to stand up for ourselves,” Leask said.

“The term Fair Isle is going to be lost. Fair Isle is being used when what they are making is not Fair Isle. It’s appropriation.”

And she also railed against Game of Wool as a whole, calling the first challenge – to knit a Fair Isle tank top in 12 hours – “just unrealistic”.

The now-retired Bishop of Durham, Paul Butler, is among those facing action

UK: Ongoing Church of England Child Sexual Abuse Scandel – Seven Clergy to Face Disciplinary Action! (9.6.2025)

Retired former Bishop of Durham the Right Reverend Paul Butler is among those who could be banned from ministry following a review of evidence in the report into the prolific abuser John Smyth QC.

Smyth, a barrister who died in South Africa in 2018 at the age of 77, attacked more than 100 boys and young men at his Winchester home in the 1970s and 1980s, the Makin Review found.

That report, published last year, concluded the abuse was covered up within the Church for decades.

While the review led to the eventual resignation of Mr Welby, the Church’s national safeguarding team (NST) undertook to look at all clergy criticised within the report.

In an update on Thursday, the Church said Bishop Butler and six others would face disciplinary proceedings under the Clergy Discipline Measure (CDM).
