Laos: Mexico “World Cup” Opening Ceremony! (17.6.2026)

The professional aspect in those days was really about learning to survive outside the UK in unfamiliar circumstances, and still manage to win games under very different local conditions. As this was a difficult task – the players received a small wage whilst their travel and board was paid (I think by the English Football Association). Obviously, within the UK a support network already existed with most players already holding-down full-time jobs in other industries (football would be played after work – in the evenings and at weekends). WWI and WWII destroyed endless generations of talented footballers in England so our standard has dropped to “average” at world level – and foreigners have been able to better us – whilst we still seek to recover our naturally dominant style as a country. Another issue has been the “capitalisation” of football so that everyone is encouraged to play for greed – and are rewarded for greed. This is what FIFA is all about. Although England won the 1966 World Cup – we need to routinely dominate it so that football can be shifted back to its intended art-form – and away from the cesspit of racism and greed it is today. The US should be facing War Crimes Trials – and not being rewaded by FIFA.

Illegal child labour persists in the U.S. as legal protections backslide

US: Illegal Child Labour Persists in the US as Legal Protections Backslide! (7.6.2026)

The report revealed that in the U.S., children as young as 11 to 13 years old were employed for long hours, sometimes operating dangerous equipment and working in prohibited occupations.

“On the kill floors of meat processing plants, children are using harsh chemicals to clean back saws, head splitters, brisket saws, jaw pullers, meat bandsaws, and neck clippers. In sawmills, children are operating chop saws, rip saws, and powered wood processing machines. Teens are hauling and stacking wood for processing by automated machinery. Children are operating power driven lifts to move pallets. In poultry processing plants, children are using sharp knives to debone chickens. In construction, minors are working on roofs and operating power-driven woodworking machines. Over the last two years, several children have been seriously injured, and some have been killed while at work,” the reported unveiled.

The U.S., which fancies itself a “human rights defender” and is quick to point fingers at other nations over human rights violations, is the only one among the 193 UN member states that has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

Denmark: Embarrassing [Indigenous Greenlandic] “Ethnic-Cleansing” Policy Abandoned! (12.5.2026)

The Guardian Newspaper used to be the best intellectual tome for the left – (about 30-years ago) I used to read it cover to cover (when commuting on long-distance trains) – but its bourgeois, Trotskyite, centre-right political trajectory today just makes me sick. Do not buy it or encourage it. However, every so often there is an article – the content of which is far more important – than the Guardian betraying the working-class. I once met an Icelandic person (and his daughter) who looked “Asian” – and he told me that indigenous peoples in Iceland, Greenland, and elsewhere – were originally from Asia thousands of years ago – but today suffer discrimination from the White Europeans who colonised these areas. Indeed, and perhaps of the greatest irony, is the fact that the racist Trump has attempted to annex Greenland, and this ambition has inadvertently highlighted an extremely “racist” policy hiding in plane sight. Denmark, of course, collaborated with Nazi Germany with many of its men joining Hitler’s SS. The White Danish Authorities inflict a “Civilisation” test on Indigenous people in Greenland to see how “White” they behave. When they fail these racist tests – their children are removed. Absolutely disgusting!

UK Exporting Weaponry to Israel - Liege Airport - Belgium

Skwawkbox: UK Firm Refuses Questions on Arms to Israel Seized in Belgium! (1.5.2026)

US aerospace company Moog’s UK subsidiary has declined to comment on the seizure of a consignment of military components by Belgian authorities while en route to Israel. According to a statement released by the Walloonian government, the consignment did not bear a declaration that the items were for military use as required by Belgian law and did not have the compulsory ‘transit licence’.

A second UK arms consignment has now also been seized, though the manufacturer of that one has not yet been named. But the UK company involved in the first one has: Moog, specifically its Wolverhampton facility.

Red Square Times: China’s Dominic Lee Expertly “Corrects” the Eurocentric Racism at the UN!

And why exactly are NATO countries up here giving us sanctimonious speeches about human rights while turning a blind eye to the Zionist genocide in Gaza? Who do they think they are to stand here and talk about justice?

We will not allow nations to silence us when, for them, human rights are nothing but a bargaining chip and a foreign policy weapon. We have no intention of listening to people who use human rights as a tool of war — while their own hands are stained with the blood of Palestinians and Iranians, something they somehow keep conveniently forgetting.

And we will not rest until every country here is treated by the same standard. Until hypocrisy is dragged into the light and disgraced. Until genocide is confronted. And until peace reigns not just in words, but in reality.

Stuart Boorman has pleaded with Gravesham council to let his family stay on their land

UK: Kent Council Hits “Glitch” Whilst Discriminating Against Local Gypsy Community! (19.2.2026)

On February 12, council planning enforcement officers visited the site and found evidence that the notice had not been complied with.

It is understood that Stuart Boorman and his family are some of the occupants living on the site after they bought part of the land last year.

They applied for permission to station eight mobile homes and two day rooms on a section of the land in August, but it was rejected by the council in December.

It was refused because it was on green belt land, the site lies within the Meopham Downs Landscape Character Area, highway safety risks, and the proposed loss of biodiversity.

However, Mr Boorman told KentOnline he believes they are being discriminated against as they are from the Gypsy and Traveller community.

He explained that after years of moving around the county, living in caravans parked on roadsides, car parks and petrol stations, they had tried to settle permanently and get their children into education.

Speaking previously, the 51-year-old said: “Gravesham council is going above and beyond to remove us all from the land.

“Not only would this make my family homeless, but it would disrupt the children’s education and well-being.

“All we ask is to be treated with the same human rights and dignity as every other British citizen, and to be given the opportunity to live alongside the local community.

“When we finally come together and scrape together the money to buy land to settle on, our plans are rejected.”

Despite this, the local authority is now launching legal proceedings for the alleged breach of planning enforcement.
