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

27/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

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.

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).

UK: Bleak Poverty Statistics “Wearily Familiar” – Joseph Rowntree Foundation! (6.2.2025)

Larger families with three or more children have consistently faced a higher rate of poverty, it says: 45 per cent of children in large families were in poverty in 2022/23. Disabled people, carers, renters, people claiming benefits, and people in workless households were also at a disproportionately higher risk of poverty.

More recent figures were equally bleak, owing to the continued affects of the cost-of-living crisis. In October 2024, about 2.6 million of the poorest fifth of households (44 per cent) were in arrears with their household bills or behind on scheduled lending repayments; 4.1 million households (69 per cent) were going without essentials; and 3.2 million households (54 per cent) cut back on food or went hungry.

WWII: Strange Tale of the Imperial Japanese “Type 89” Knee-Mortar! (10.11.2024)

10/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

I have seen Chinese (KMT) soldiers (and a mixture of US soldiers) photographed holding this weapon placed on their upper-thigh – but never any Soviet Red Army soldiers. This would imply this story originates in the US Army and was shared by its Chinese (KMT) Allies (now ensconced in Taiwan). The justifying explanation is that due to a “grammatical” error in the original Japanese language User Manual – it is suggested that the Type 89 Mortar should be fired from the upper-leg. Why would this be case? Who could “read” this manual? I doubt the average American or Soviet soldier could read Japanese text. Sometimes, and depending upon the type of Japanese text used, a Chinese person might be able to read some of the instructions, but even then this would be haphazard and unreliable. After-all, who bothers to read the text when there are clear instructional pictures available? As you can see from the above pictures, the Imperial Japanese soldier is shown clearly using the Type 89 Mortar whilst it is placed firmly upon the ground! Therefore, this story is either a racist myth – a product of misunderstanding – or perhaps an element of both.

Who the Hell is Charlie Big Potatoes? – The Laughable World of the British Far-Right! (13.9.2024)

13/09/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

White people who commit the most grievous of crimes are still considered morally superior to any non-White person who has never commuted a single crime. Where Mark Collett keeps reiterating that in the British legal system everyone is innocent until proven guilty – his usual far-right rhetoric continuously suggests that all non-White people are guilty until proven innocent – except, of course, that Hitlerism never allows such people to ever be proven innocent.

Once an individual or community is marked – these entities remain forever marked. Conventional Hitlerism suggests that the two men in question should be appropriately “dealt with” – whilst Mark Collett, as a hidden liberal, should be removed from his leadership role and dismissed from the party. Yes – hypocrisy abounds in the inverted, dark, and lunatic world of the British far-right!
