TS Hermes - Tiverton Sea Cadets

Tiverton: WWI Naval Gun [Lime Kiln Road] – Playing in the 1970s Was Very Different! (5.7.2025)

I was born in Oxford – but my parents moved to Tiverton (in East Devon) in 1970. I started school (Wilcombe) in 1972 (when 5-years old) – but changed to a school in Exeter in 1977. However, I have a memory of joining (after school) a group of classmates who “played” on a WWI Naval Gun situated on a public street (situated in Lime Kiln Road)! I have lived in Sutton (South-West Greater London) for over three-decades today – but recently – whilst picking-up my children from school in Cheam, I saw youths dressed in the uniforms of what is today termed the “Combined Cadet Force”, and the thought of myself once playing on a military gun (around 1977) bubbled-up in my mind (although publicly accessible – the gun in question was placed outside the Tiverton Sea Cadets Training Hall). In fact, after having experienced many interest things in my life (including four wonderful years based in Hereford during the 1980s), and having travelled around the world, I surprised myself with this memory and was not even sure it was real!

Many White Neo-Nazis Love Thai Lady-Boys!

UK: Neo-Nazis, Lady-Boys, and the Genetic Deficiency of the Far-Right! (4.7.2025)

As improbable as it may seem, a number of deficient (White) Englishmen and Scotsmen live in Thailand – and yet are notorious racists who routinely express anti-migrant rhetoric on their social media platforms. By “anti-migrant” – I mean “non-White” migrants living in the UK. The lie is that all crime is committed by non-Whites – whilst the reality is that the in a White-majority country – the majority of the crime is committed by “Whites”. The problem is that the ignorant racists are quite happy to accept the rancid myths of racism instead of carrying-out research into the reality of society (and read “Das Kapital” written by Karl Marx). The far-right racist are quite happy with White migrants who hold Neo-Nazi viewpoints, such as the Poles, Ukrainians, Estonians and Romanians, etc, Neo-Nazis who are welcomed with open-arms even though they represent entirely alien (and unfamiliar) ethnic groups and cultures. These types of British miscreants seem to think that as White people – they possess the inherent right to go anywhere and live in any place – whilst being

Nanjing Bomb-Shelters Used in Heat-Wave!

China: Nanjing Opens 22 “Air-Raid Shelters” for Residents to Enjoy Leisure Time During Heat-Wave! (3.7.2025)

Imperial Japan invaded China between 1931-1945 – with history demarcating various points of this invasion as being specific. For instance, in December 1937, the Imperial Japanese Army turned its guns on the Nationalist-controlled Nanjing – the then capital-city of China. Although the West was not yet directly involved in the war against Imperial Japan, by and large the US and UK (amongst others) agitated against Japan in favour of China. This led to a number of air-raid shelters being constructed in the Nanjing area – designed for ordinary Chinese people to take cover when the Imperial Japanese Airforce began to blanket-bomb the civilian population of the city. Today, these shelters are maintained to a very high degree and are popular historical tourist attractions. Whereas the UK government has done NOTHING to assist the British population regarding the current heat-wave (Indeed, the UK Labour government sat in the air-conditioned Parliament and voted to cut the Benefits received by the old, disabled, and vulnerable throughout the country). This is an interesting juxtaposition between the predatory capitalism of the UK and the Socialism as practiced by Socialist China.

China: Young Communists Future of Country! (2.7.2025)

When his supervisor suggested exploring more natural methods to treat carbon emissions, Deng immediately thought of that land. “I thought, why not capture carbon emissions and use them to fix alkaline soil?” he said.

His department thought the idea was unconventional, but his proposal won support. Li Ping, Party chief of the university’s college of safety and emergency management and engineering, said that the topic addresses local economic needs.

“We encourage our researchers to innovate and solve practical problems. We don’t restrict them in terms of research direction.”

Still, the road wasn’t smooth. Just collecting sufficient varieties of saline-alkaline soil turned out to be a challenge.

“That’s when the Party really stepped in,” Deng said. “Grassroots Party organizations helped connect me with locals who knew where to find the land I needed.”

“The CPC keeps renewing itself and adapting to the times. It’s vibrant and full of energy — and that’s why so many young people are drawn to it,” Deng said.

New DPRK Posters!

DPRK: New Educational Posters! (1.7.2025)

Even the illiterate can understand the posters providing they are not visually-impaired. If the workers are visually-impaired – then fully-sighted comrades can describe the posters to them. On top of this, each poster will detail a specific aspect of a new Socialist society – with words and sentences adding to the depth and texture of the State transmission. Posters are a simple, inexpensive, and very powerful way of communicating between the Communist Party and the masses. A few years ago, I was told that there would be a display of North Korean propaganda posters in nearby Croydon on a Saturday afternoon. As this was only for a few hours on a single day, we could not attend due to work – not being able to get time off, etc. Still, with a direct line to North Korean news, I can see developments early every single day! I particularly appreciate the hammer, sickle, and the scholar’s brush (pen)!

North Korea Resists US Imperialism!

DPRK: Anti-US Imperialism Mass Rally Held at Sinchon Class Education House! (30.6.2025)

At the rally, an artistic motivation on the theme of class education was given to expose and denounce the brutal atrocities committed by the U.S. imperialist murderers and class enemies against the Korean people during the Fatherland Liberation War.

Through the numbers vividly reminding the people of the war which left a permanent scar in the hearts of the Korean people and the terrible scene in which the land of the country reduced into the bloodbath, the masses clearly realized once again the immutable truth that if the country had been as strong as the present and its people had been equipped with transparent class consciousness, there would not have been the lesson drawn on this land 70-odd years ago.

At the meeting, speakers, representing the DPRK people’s retaliatory spirit and anti-U.S. resistance will, expressed their firm determination to mercilessly smash the enemies’ desperate moves and firmly defend the most just cause of the DPRK, the beloved country and the socialist system, bitterly denouncing the thrice-cursed atrocities committed by the U.S. imperialists and class enemies on this land.
