When Radios Were Real!

UK: “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now!” Especially For Gee (from the Kids) – Remembering Spectrum Radio! (1.2.2025)

In the old days there was a thing called “Spectrum Radio” (I think on AM) that used to separate the 24-hour cycle into 24 different hours broadcasting music in languages different to English. I believe “Cantonese” (kind of our local Hong Kong language – despite being Hakka with a distinct language of our own) – was broadcast in the evening between 6pm – 7pm. In the early 1990s, I used to teach ethnic Chinese children English in the Sutton area. In the evening, our local Chinese community was much larger then than now – and we used to visit one another for dinner and a cup of tea. On occasion, and long before we were married, me and Gee used to listen to Spectrum Radio together – listening to contemporary (English) tracks rendered into Cantonese. Gee remembers “My Heart Will Go On” (Celine Dion) – the theme from the hit Movie “Titanic” – sang in Cantonese! Our children – Mei-An and Kai-Lin – have designed a post on this blog around our memories!

Emails: Infiltrating the US Far-Right! (4.1.2025)

What I do see is how the US White Supremacy movement has spread to the UK, Western and Eastern Europe – and has redefined what racism actually is. Although Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” is the bible of the far-right – which advises the racially pure to “lie, lie, and lie again” to secure power – in no way did Hitler believe all White people were “Aryan” or “racially” pure! Take the Polish as an example. Catholic Poland became a Fascist State in 1930 and there was widespread celebrations on the Polish streets when Hitler came to power in 1933. Goebbels had a State visit in early 1934 where he discussed the “Russian” problem and this led to the Poles opening the first modern Concentration Camp at Bereza in East Poland in late 1934 (formerly a part of West Russia – invaded by the Poles in 1920).

Seven Anti-China criminals

Hong Kong: Revised List of Seven Anti-China “Criminals” Issued! (26.12.2024)

Chris Tang Ping-Keung, secretary for security of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, on Tuesday, exercised the powers conferred by the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance to specify seven absconders and the measures to be applied against them by notices published in the gazette.

The seven relevant absconders are Hui Chi-fung, Kwok Fung-yee, Yuan Gong-yi, Kwok Wing-hang, Yam Kevin, Hui Wing-ting and Siu Joey.

The Hong Kong police force also put six other individuals on the wanted list on suspicion of violating the national security law in Hong Kong.

The law enforcement actions by the Hong Kong police force are based on the Hong Kong national security law and Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a daily news briefing.

The acts uphold the rule of law and respond to public opinion in Hong Kong, she said.

Nanjing Massacre Remembered!

China Will Never Be Crushed – Nanjing Massacre Victims Remembered! (14.12.2024)

“Ringing the Bell of Peace is not only a review of history, but also an expectation for the future. I deeply feel that only by remembering history can we cherish the present peace and the happy life. As an athlete, I will uphold the Olympic spirit of peace going forward and inspire more youth to contribute more to the aspiration of a powerful nation,” she said.

“The resounding peal reminds all generations to etch this once unimaginable period into memories,” said another bell striker Zhang Hongcheng, former president of Yangzhou University’s Research Institute of Rice Industrial Engineering Technology, adding that we must unite to achieve Chinese-style modernization, and educators should nurture more top talent to create world-leading innovations.

A candlelight assembly was also held to mourn the deceased and pray for peace.

In 2014, China’s top legislature designated Dec 13 as the national memorial day for Nanjing Massacre victims to promote peace and oppose the denial of history.

USSR - UK Alliance WWII

UK: Do Not Be Afraid – Time To Be Brave! (22.11.2024)

Suddenly, the anti-Soviet racism perpetuated by the likes of Winston Churchill had to be quickly transitioned into pro-Soviet rhetoric – with “Red Flags” being manufactured and distributed throughout the duplicitous Unions (many of which had been “Trotskyite” with a vengeance). The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) and the Unions it influenced and controlled – was staunchly Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist in those days – and purposely led the British workers in the right direction of thought and labour (this would change after 1956). British workers raised money for British tanks to be manufactured and sent to the USSR – whilst women sowed and stitched to make cold-weather clothing for the Soviet people! All this progressive activity was strengthened and intensified even during the days of the Nazi German “Blitz” over London (and elsewhere). The British workers withstood an incredible slaughter (in and out of uniform) – but it was understood that whatever we were suffering – the Nazi Germans were inflicting far worse on the Soviet people in what the British government then referred to as a “People’s War”!

Hong Kong - US & Canada to Stop Medding!

China: US & Canadian Politicians – Stop Meddling in Hong Kong’s Judiciary! (21.11.2024)

“This act of double standards is a serious blasphemy against the spirit of the rule of law and a gross violation of the principles of international law such as non-interference in internal affairs,” the spokesperson said.

Since the implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong, Hong Kong’s political ecology has been purified, social order restored, the spirit of the rule of law demonstrated, the business environment improved. The HKSAR government has operated efficiently, a growing number of global investors have come to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre has been strengthened, the spokesperson said.
