Sutton Council: 20mph Speed Zones and a “Loose” Definition of Democracy! (6.2.2025)

Apparently, everyone in our street received this missive from the London Borough of Sutton Council (LBS for short). I had heard rumours that a 20mph zone might be coming to our local area. However, at no time were we consulted about it in anyway. Now, according to Sutton Council, the consultation has been completed – and it is all going ahead. Really? Throughout the UK this policy has been greeted with a general sense of pure hatred. It would seem that driving 20mph is no safer than driving faster – and that the real motive behind this policy is simply to raise extra revenue in fines for Local Councils (a Tory initiative that Labour has not stopped).

UK: Bleak Poverty Statistics "Wearily Familiar" - Joseph Rowntree Foundation! (6.2.2025)

UK: Bleak Poverty Statistics “Wearily Familiar” – Joseph Rowntree Foundation! (6.2.2025)

Larger families with three or more children have consistently faced a higher rate of poverty, it says: 45 per cent of children in large families were in poverty in 2022/23. Disabled people, carers, renters, people claiming benefits, and people in workless households were also at a disproportionately higher risk of poverty.

More recent figures were equally bleak, owing to the continued affects of the cost-of-living crisis. In October 2024, about 2.6 million of the poorest fifth of households (44 per cent) were in arrears with their household bills or behind on scheduled lending repayments; 4.1 million households (69 per cent) were going without essentials; and 3.2 million households (54 per cent) cut back on food or went hungry.

Beautiful Laos!

Ebony and Ivory!

An Ovis Aries Revolution! – My Contribution to “Unherd” – I Doubt It Will Be Printed! (31.1.2025)

Sheep are very sensitive animals. This includes goats and rams – not always the same thing. Under Labour, the manner in which sheep congregate together has subtly shifted. In the average flock today, the shepherds will tell you that their is a profound sense of fear seven-days a week – and not just on Market-Day – or when the “special” lorry arrives. The texture of the wool has diminished in quality – as has the production of milk and meat. As you know, sheep-milk is used to make a myriad of alternative dairy products – including niche cheese and yoghurt. Yes – such products cost a little more – but this reflects the greater extent of labour required to manufacture these products.

News Briefing!

Russia: Defeating Neo-Nazi Ukraine & Rejecting US Hegemonic Use of NATO! (30.1.2025)

I applaud the work of our law enforcement bodies. Now I would like to mention punishment for the Kiev regime’s crimes. Russian courts continue to convict Ukrainian neo-Nazis and mercenaries of war crimes.

An American citizen, Patrick Thomas Creed, was sentenced in absentia to 13 years’ imprisonment for participating in hostilities on the side of Ukraine. This soldier of fortune is a retired US Army Ranger, who also served in US National Guard, infantry and airborne troops, and was repeatedly dispatched to Central America and the Middle East.

Latvian mercenaries Uldis Volmars and Juris Alberts Ulmanis were sentenced to 14 years in absentia. All these foreigners are on the international wanted list.

Ukrainian combatants A.Voloshin, V.Arshulik, S.Karayev, A.Doychuk, Z.Sigerich, A.Kulbaba, and O.Vovk have been sentenced to 15 to 16 years in prison for committing acts of terror against Russian servicemen and civilians in the Kursk Region.

Ex-Labour Leader Arrested!

UK: Jeremy Corbyn “Interviewed Under Caution” for Israeli “Anti-Genocide” Protest! (20.1.2025)

The BBC and Sky News both colluded with the (unelected) British Establishment and Israel (which interfered in the internal functioning of the UK political system) to keep Corbyn out of political power because he wanted to a) recognise Palestine and b) return the NHS to the principle of “care” over “cost” (restoring the “Socialist” principle behind it – that Thatcher took away). Although Corbyn is a Trotskyite who has made numerous (false) anti-China statements – for many leftists, the restoration of the NHS was good enough to support Corbyn. The right-wing Labour Government today has not (and will not) reverse one single Tory cut or policy! Starmer’s idea for saving a collapsing (privatising) NHS – is more privatisation! The damage done by US and EU-demanded cuts to the Socialist NHS – is more cuts! What we are seeing below – is the consequence of a dictate issued by 10 Downing Street! The right-wing of the Labour Party wants to permanently “separate” from its traditional left-wing component (and then reform the left out of existence). The antics of Jeremy Corbyn (who had his fellow Trotskyite – George Galloway – “banned” from an earlier Pro-Palestinian march) is a damaging reminder for Starmer of what the Labour Party used to be! Although I quote the BBC and Sky News below – remember these bourgeois entities revel in the demise of the left and are thoroughly right-wing in nature!
