Mouldy Old Oranges!

China: Mouldy Old Oranges & the Groucho Marx-School of News Reporting! (26.3.2025)

A social media user on the Chinese platform RedNote discovered the white fungal growth on an apple she had bought from a month earlier. She then posted a photo of it online, which soon attracted thousands of likes, including a Xu Rongju, a doctoral student at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Kunming Institute of Botany.

The institute believed that this is very rare and has research value so it decided to purchase it. The institute identified the growth on the apple as Schizophyllum, also known as the splitgill mushroom – a type of fungus with fan-shaped caps.

A Young Life is Saved in China!

China: Socialist Medicine Saves Premature Babies the NHS Allows to Die! (13.2.2025)

At 24 weeks, she suffered a large-scale early placental abruption, making it impossible to continue the pregnancy. Obstetricians acted swiftly to assist in the birth of a baby boy, Chaochao (pseudonym).

At birth, Chaochao was unable to breathe on his own. In the neonatal intensive care unit, medical staff adopted a step-by-step downgraded oxygen therapy approach, helping him successfully overcome the critical breathing.

Newborns normally require proper nutrition for growth and development. The nurses successfully performed catheterization on Chaochao’s hair-thin blood vessels.

His feeding was meticulously measured in grams, gradually increasing from 0.5 millilitres to 1 millilitre, then to 2 millilitres. After more than 90 days in the hospital, he reached a weight of 2.2 kilograms and was discharged on Feb. 1 to go home.

Socialist Science - Diabetes Treatment

China: Diabetes – Monitoring of Blood Glucose Revolutionized! (10.2.2025)

Diabetes is a serious public health problem, affecting more than 500 million people around the world. The prevalence of diabetes among adults in China is as high as 12 percent, according to national data from last year.

Effective and regular blood glucose monitoring is the foundation of diabetes management, and the commonly used blood glucose monitoring methods require invasive actions involving the skin, which may cause problems, such as pain and infection, and pose challenges for patients’ compliance with long-term monitoring.

Non-invasive blood glucose detection technology has been at the frontier of research in recent decades, but it has faced challenges in accuracy and versatility.

UK: Lucy Letby – Nurse DID NOT Murder Babies – NHS Cuts and Natural Causes to Blame! (5.2.2025)

The Police should have passed the allegations back to the NHS for these Staff members to be “disciplined” for their continued persecution of Letby. This did not happen and instead the Police decided to independently pursue the case outside of NHS channels. This is how Letby ended-up in prison. Let’s get one thing straight – continued NHS cuts by successive governments since 1979 are killing people throughout the UK. Part of tihis drive to US-style private medicine is the withdrawal of proper and adequate medical care across the spectrum – including the care of babies (if you want to live – you must pay for the privilege). Letby worked in a department that looked after very ill – and already dying – babies. These were not healthy babies. Letby worked at the thin end of the wedge – where all the medical cuts are felt. The UK governments make these cuts knowing full-well people will die – and then blame the NHS Staff – who have to implement these cuts. This is just how Hitler’s regime worked – blame the victim.

Women Were Treated Very Well!

London: Broken Biscuits and Paternalistic Capitalism: Was the Bermondsey Biscuit Factory a Worker’s Paradise or is the Truth Less Sweet? (13.1.2025)

The first female clerks, responsible for typewriting invoices and the telephone exchange, were employed in 1885. The new hires may have been surprised to find the company brochure had a dedicated ladies’ section called ‘Matters Feminine’. However, the suffragettes would not have been too impressed with its content. Topics mainly included cooking, family and fashion. 

‘It is all very well for a man to smile at the feminine love of clothes, and dismiss them as being of very little importance in life. Women know better. Husbands, who profess not to admire fashions, are not slow to complain at the dowdy appearance of their wives,’ read one passage. 

In the following decades, many of the women employed found promotions were very much possible. Anne Edwards, who got a job as a clerical assistant in 1957, wrote: “Brilliant employers, they paid for me to attend Pitman’s College to extend my shorthand skills. They monitored my progress, my typewriting skills and promoted me from junior to manager’s secretary in the same department. I loved working there.”
