Henry VIII – SANGHA KOMMUNE (SSR)

UK: A Duddington School-Master’s Pay in the Late 1600s! (16.9.2026)

King Henry wanted to record (in writing) the age, status, location, wealth, and movable property, etc, of these men. He was perhaps a little concerned about the possibility of rebellions designed to other-throw his reign (similar to the highly bloody and brutal “War of the Roses”). Indeed, he would abolish the feudal-system and the right of the aristocracy to raise private armies from men living on their land. As a result, Henry would use foreign mercenaries (often “German”) to put-down insurrections within England. Henry abolished serfdom – and then hanged 70,000 former serfs for being “unemployed” – which was viewed as “Treason”. Anyway, in my quest, I have discovered a historical journal that mentions a school in Duddington circa 1670.

Cheam Village Used To Be A Sleepy Village!

UK: WHEN EAST CHEAM WAS NOT A PLACE OF FICTION! (14.9.2026)

Each house possessed an ample front and back garden, with a covered garage to park the family conveyance – usually on the property or nearby. As there was ample space – these houses were large and roomy. Sutton was only forced to build rental properties for workers post-1945 – although people like Thomas Wall, did use his own money to build workers’ cottages for his employees – but these were few and far between. Today, such cottages are worth millions on the free market and are highly sought after (ironically). The British comedian – Tony Hancock (1924-1968) – was famous for a fictional character he created whose back-story had him living in “East Cheam” – but East Cheam has not be used for probably hundreds of years – despite the odd campaign here and there. In 2022, Sutton Council renamed the “Electoral Ward” where we live into “West Sutton and East Cheam” – thus bringing the designation back to life. Tony Hancock must have really researched this area very well to come-up with this obscure name – making it famous

Tyndale: The Man Who Gave God an English Voice

UK: My Review of David Teems’ Tyndale Book! (25.8.2026)

Writers are very good at being both “honest” and “dishonest” in equal measure. No genuine writer will disagree with me – but will instead knowingly puff on their pipe whilst inspecting a duck – or something similar (the mundane is lifted-up by a competent writer). Am I being too harsh on Mr Teems – of course. Yes – I am – and for good class-related reasons. The bourgeois already possess control over the means of production – what more do they want? We are left a) with our “words”, and b) the use of those “words”. My words must penetrate straight through the ideological heart of the matter and I feel that the author’s use of Soviet-era exiles is indicative of his world-view and political bias. And even if it is not – it might as well be.

UK: Beautiful Waverly Abbey – Farnham – Revisit! (23.5.2026)

23/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Even when Queen Mary attempted to return the Catholic monastic institutions – the ordinary people were not interested. Henry VIII also executed around 70,000 former Serfs – as they could not find employment in this new age of greed and individualism (with the destruction of the monasteries was also the destruction of the Feudal State – removing Serfs who were loyal to Lords who could possibly challenge the King). They were hanged from trees up and down the roadways of England. A Lord used to supply clothing, food, lodgings, and employment free of charge to each peasant living on his land. In return, they worked for free on the land, and fought for the Lord in times of war. If somehow impoverished due to unseen circumstance – the monasteries would provide free food, clothing, medical care, and lodgings. Many men could become monks to escape working on the land. All this “certainty” was swept away as England forcibly entered modernity. The point is that social change is often incredibly violent before anything beneficial can come from it. The damage predatory capitalism has inflicted upon the world is immeasurable – and it is ongoing. We are brainwashed to think it is normal and inevitable.

Andrew - the Man Formerly Known as "Prince" Still Allowed Near Young Children!

UK: The British Royal Family’s History of “Arrested” Development! (21.2.2026)

21/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Charles II was the first of a long and meandering line of “Constitutional” monarchs (many of them “foreign”) who lived a life of opulence – but possessed no direct political power (Americans still think George III was in-charge of the UK during their rebellion). Since 1648-49, the English Parliament has been in-charge of the UK via democratically elected MPs. A constitutional monarch is a “civil servant” – employed by the government at the taxpayer’s expense – in exactly the same manner as a soldier, police office, or NHS employee, etc. They possess no direct political power – but the Establishment does permit them a certain (behind the scenes) “influence” in many areas of policy. If the constitutional monarch tries to use their royal power directly – then the institution will be abolished. Other than a supposed tourist attraction – these pointless entities literally have nothing to do whilst living a life of luxury – Andrew chose to visit Epstein’s Island during his leisure time – and abuse children.

Nonsuch Park is now known for its gardens and landscapes

Sutton: Nonsuch Park – Where I Live! (30.11.2025)

Councillor Anthony Froud, chairman of the Nonsuch Park joint management committee, said: “This is an incredible achievement and a reflection of the dedication of our volunteers and staff.

“Local volunteers, the Nonsuch Voles and the Council’s Countryside, Property and Estates, and operational teams work year-round to protect and enhance this unique heritage landscape for the benefit of wildlife, visitors and future generations.

“These gold awards celebrate their hard work and the deep pride our community takes in Nonsuch Park.”

The result comes after work to restore heritage features of the garden, such as the greenhouse and the presence of several champion trees, a designation given to selected trees that are special because of their height, size, or significance.
