Joseph Rowntree Foundation: UK Poverty 2026: The Essential Guide to Understanding “Deep” Poverty in the UK! (27.1.2026)

27/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Disabled people face a higher risk of poverty. This is driven partly by the additional costs associated with disability and ill-health, and partly by the barriers to work that disabled people face. However, the proportion of disabled working-age adults in work increased from 42% in 2010/11 to 53% in 2023/24, while poverty rates remained steady over that period. In the latest data, there were 17 million disabled people in the UK — that is, 1 in 4 people (24%) — and almost 4 in 10 families contained at least 1 person who was disabled. The poverty rate for disabled people was 28%, 8 percentage points higher than the rate for people who were not disabled. Half of all people who were disabled and living in poverty in the latest data had a long-term, limiting mental condition — around 2.4 million people. The poverty rate for this group was 34%, compared with 28% for people with a physical disability.

UK: NHS IT Worker Stole [& Sold] Government-Issued Laptops to Buy Food! (17.1.2026)

17/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Instead of granting NHS staff more pay (fitting to their qualifications, profession, and workload – they work day and night 12-hour shifts contrary to Union legislation and trading law) – the Tories came-up with the demeaning idea that between shifts, Midwives and Nurses can present a special letter of dispensation to their nearest Food Bank and receive a Food Parcel to feed their families. This is part of the ongoing “de-skilling” and “false crisis” that has its root in a deliberate lack of government funding at source. We continue to pay for a fully-funded NHS through Income Tax (a tax that is currently at an all-time high) – but receive a sub-standard service which is getting worse everyday – in preparation for full-privatisation (our tax is being given to Zionist Israel, Neo-Nazi Ukraine, and privileged groups of incomers – with even North Americans now seeking asylum from Trump in the UK). Until 2010, people in the UK had never heard of Food Banks – but the Tories and LibDems abolished the old UK (1948) system of welfare – which granted a money income to retain dignity – and adopted the US system which is designed to demean as it assists (barely). I am not surprised this individual (below) stole UK government laptops to eat (I certainy do not judge him) – as these devices are military-grade, sold at cost price, and do not have the usual “redundancy” built-in that is common-place within the commercial market. Consumerism demands that longterm stability is abandoned for short-term market stimulation (i.e., things need to be replaced regularly – and this costs money). This prevents the working class from saving their income and using items designed to last decades – not weeks, months, or years (such as denim jeans and the like). Credit where credit is due – within Islam – free food and drink must be provided “free” to every citizen and it is not a crime to steal to eat.

UK: Government Sets Ofsted on Bristol School after Palestine Row! (17.1.2026)

17/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

A planned visit to the school by ultra-Zionist MP Damien Egan, who visited Israel during its genocide in Gaza, was cancelled after parents said they would keep their children home rather than expose them to Egan’s extremism. Teachers had said they would wear Palestine t-shirts during the visit.

Egan’s allies claimed this ‘endangered’ him, while fellow Israel fanatic, front-bencher Steve Reed, implied Egan was blocked for being Jewish. The Starmer government, along with state and corporate ‘mainstream’ media, have amplified Reed’s dishonesty to demand action.

They also raised concerns about the treatment of hunger strikers in detention, citing delayed medical care, excessive restraints during hospitalization, denial of family and legal contact and insufficient independent medical oversight.

Labour Party lawmaker John McDonnell said the hunger strikers have also secured meetings with prison officials about their health and conditions, following the news.

“I pay tribute to the dedication of the hunger strikers,” he said on the US social media company X.

Palestine Action was banned in July under the Terrorism Act after members of the group entered a Royal Air Force base and spray painted two aircraft, causing £7 million ($9.44 million) in damage, according to police. Hundreds of pro-Palestine activists have since been arrested across the UK.

Hong Kong: What Really Happened to Chan Yin-lam [陳彥霖 – Chen Yan-Lin] -Inquest Verdict Debunks Murder Conspiracy! (3.1.2026)

I have a particular fondness for these people as they rather comical approached me in early 1999 – when I was stood outside a shop in Kowloon that was so “small” I could not fit in it. Two armed Police Constables – in perfect English – asked me what I was doing in a “Chinese” area. It was a good question and I have to admit I was stumped to furnish a convincing answer on the spot – until a Chinese relative appeared and explained in Cantonese that my “ugly” Western appearance “was too big” for the “properly designed and shaped Chinese shops” (I am 6′ 2″ and weigh around 20 stone – so you can see their point). My relative also told me-off for not “bowing my head” out of respect and keeping my eyes looking humbly at the ground – where they belong. One Constable then answered in Cantonese – saying to my relative that “Hong Kong is no longer a British colony and the English should not be allowed to walk around like they own it.” We were let-off with a “Warning” – which I very much appreciated at the time as it was my first offense – and I believe I taught gongfu to one of the sons of the Constables! It was a little bit nerve-whacking, as the Constables authoritatively “fingered” their truncheons during the entire encounter.

UK: Convicted Extremist Murderer Wins £237,500 in “Human Rights” Ruling! (2.1.2026)

And the Establishment wonders “why” over 150,000 far-right thugs are congregating outside Migrant Hotels, Migration Hostels, and Migration Centres, attracting vast swathes of political support from ordinary people who hold political views of a lesser bias. Not only is the media continuously printing a daily tally of crime (usually “sexual”) committed by migrants in the UK – but it is purposely ignoring (and omitting) all similar crime committed by “White” people (including “White” migrants – usually Ukrainian and Polish, etc). The news – like the structure of UK society – is being deliberately “engineered” by the ruling bourgeoisie. A continuous and brutal “Austerity” and withdrawal of all Socialist support for the indigenous population – and the ladling-out of the most lavish and opulent care and support for random groups of incomers – designed to water-down the work-force. We are importing selfish individuals – not collective-minded proletariats – and that is exactly what the bourgeois intend and want. The UK is being transitioned into a US State where the workers possess no rights and are paid so little by their employers – that the customer is expected to “tip” (to supplement their meagre wages) – something that used to viewed as vulgar in the UK before the rapid spread of US-owned businesses.
