Northants: Kirby Hall – [1570] Elizabethan Home of Nobility! (1.8.2025)

This building reminded us in structure of Hampton Court (not far from where we live in London) – and Berry Pomeroy in Totnes, South Devon (not far from where my parents live). This is not surprising, as I believe from reading the available “English Heritage” literature that the same architects and engineers were used by the Court of Queen Elizabeth I and the nobility that served her. The front of the Hall faces North – with the back of house facing South (built on a North-South orientation). Local serfs (landless or homeless peasants) and peasants (land-occupying peasants) were employed by the nobility when large-scale building projects were initiated. Indeed, with the development of Guilds (primitive unions) – certain groups of peasants became highly skilled in specific construction and maintenance skills. Whether any such labour was employed from nearly Kirby Village, (situated to the South-West of what became the ornate rear garden of the complex), is open to debate.

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.

Foreign nationals enjoy 24-hour direct transit without undergoing border check procedures at nine major airports in cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Xiamen, and Guangzhou.

Additionally, multiple-entry visas are available for foreigners in need, and the application requirement for visa documents has been streamlined for foreigners staying in China, according to the NIA.

The NIA has vowed to continuously advance reforms and innovation in immigration management services and policies, improve the business environment, and contribute to the creation of a new development pattern.

The Isle of Sand and the Collective Survival of Humanity! (26.12.2023)

26/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

This demonstrates that before the development of advanced human society – communality was (and remains) the basis of human evolution. The modern emphasis on individuality is a cult-like worship of a temporary (artificial) state of affluence. It is hardship that is the normal condition as this possesses the resources for every species to potentially develop given the right conditions. Affluence is the product of the intelligent use of human greed. The above video carefully navigates its way through the true story of North African slaves captured by the pre-Revolutionary French during the 18th century which became stranded upon the Isle of Sand – now termed ‘Tromelin’ Island.

China: Disabled People Realizing Their Dreams – from Chef, Teacher and Barista and Various Other Sectors! (6.7.2023)

Along with six friends, she embarked on a venture selling handicrafts created by people with disabilities in the region. Their offerings include exquisite works of embroidery and intricate paper-cutting.

Similarly, chef Li Yuanyuan from Guizhou had a heartfelt desire to extend support to others. On the national day of assisting disabled persons, which is observed on the third Sunday of May every year, he would distribute the dishes he prepared among fellow community members with disabilities.

“Before reaching where I am today, I received immense help and encouragement. Therefore, I am determined to pay it forward, to assist and inspire others. Only through such actions can my life acquire true meaning,” said Li, reflecting on his journey.

UK: Right-Wing Truss – More of the Same Should Do It! (6.9.2022)

06/09/2022 Adrian (釋大道)

The UK is no longer a member of the EU – and yet behaves politically as if nothing has changed – and is not (yet) a ‘State’ of America – and yet follows every foreign policy dictate of the US as if 1776 never happened and the rolls of ‘Master’ and ‘Servant’ have been reversed! Liz Truss is a White, middle-class Thatcher wannabe which the Tory Membership carefully navigated through the field of ‘non-White’ Tory Leader candidates – to an audible sigh of relief in Tory Headquarters! The British Conservative Party likes to ‘mimic’ the equality of ‘Socialism’ whilst delivery the ‘tyranny’ and ‘division’ of ‘Fascism’! Tory women leaders are OK providing they a) behave like the men they are temporarily replacing, and b) advocate the type of right-wing and far-right policies that deny working-class and non-White women and girls the type of rights the position they hold gives the false impression they already possess! The British Unions that led the General Strike of 1926 were inspired by the (Marxist-Leninist) 1917 Soviet Socialist Revolution – whilst today the Tories have rendered the Unions ‘weak’ and ‘divided’ by Trotskyism! For Liz Truss the usual right-wing ‘denial’ holds sway. The right-wing policies that navigated the UK down this damaging and dangerous economic and political path since 2010 will be ‘enhanced’ and ‘strengthened’ – as this is the command of the right-wing and far-right Tory pay-masters that lurk in the shadows!
