Priest House - Easton-on-the-Hill - Family

Easton-on-the-Hill: Priest House [Chantry] 15th Century! (28.7.2025)

Although we have visited the general area a number of time – we had never seen this exhibit or been told about it. As we are currently staying in the locale – this place came-up in an internet search about something else. Like many such attractions, even at the height of Summer, there is only ever a trickle of visitors – which is a good thing for all concerned. We were handed the key, instructed to be careful on the old spiralling stone staircase, and turn-off all the lights when we are finished. There is even a toilet on site that is accessed with a key. Everything was perfectly clean, tidy, and in good order. Our two-daughters watched a short video film about the area, its history and industry! The photographs will tell the story of what we saw. A truly magnificent historical site that emerged out of the single most important and Revolutionary event (the “Dissolution of the Monasteries”) that forged modern Britain and the world!

Sutton is a Wealthy Borough with a Well-Managed System of Corruption!

Inside Croydon: Surrey, Lambeth and Bromley Beat Croydon as Rotten Boroughs! (23.7.2025)

The Council, by law, must then offer you a chance to contact the ombudsmen and explain to you how you go about doing this – an email is the simplest method). Individual taxpayers, however, possess the right to refer their complaint to the ombudsmen for judication. Most of these referrals (which do show-up on official statistics) are dismissed – with the ombudsmen often arbitrarily ruling on behalf of the Council. The Council and ombudsmen know that most people who complain possess no financial resources to hire a lawyer and hold the Authorities to account – so the process of complaint will often halt here. Of course, there is always the chance that an individual’s case might be taken-up by a charity – so Councils must tread carefully whilst trying to prevent this. One tactic the Council uses is the fake apology. Bear in-mind that an apology runs the risk of admitting liability – something a lawyer could take advantage of later on in a “no win – no fee” scenario (another way that ordinary people can acquire legal representation).

Sutton & Cheam: Family Outing in Nonsuch Park! (13.6.2025)

There is an irony to it all. Although Henry was acting to empower his own position, and in so doing strengthen the English crown, by creating a capitalist economy premised upon trade, profit, and individualistic employment, (we are forced to earn profit to “pay” to keep the inequalities and injustices of the capitalist system at a distance) – he inadvertently and simultaneously generated the conditions that led to enriched peasants who specialised in the “trade” of linking the aristocracy to the rare and precious goods they craved and desired. These “merchants” (burghers) were wealthy citizens living in towns and cities who could mimmick the aristocracy by dressing like them, sending their children to the same schools, and standing for Parliament. Eventually, so many were elected and empowered in this way (forming a new “middle class” termed the “bourgeoise”) that they raised an army, defeated and beheaded the King (Charles I) – and abolished the very institute of absolute monarchy that Henry thought he was saving.

Paper Letter - St Albans Road - Sutton

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).

"National Agency for Blue Badge Fraud Investigations

UK: Emails Exposing the Far-Right “National Agency for Blue Badge Fraud Investigations”! (1.2.2025)

Furthermore, this firm takes great pride in “evicting” disabled people from their premises, aided and abetted by Local Councils, so that (and I’m quoting from their website) – “Homeless people can be housed in their place!” This is the bouncing of one vulnerable group off another for the entertainment of the mainstream. This firm “denies” that the Tories abolished Social Housing and that there is a lack thereof. Finally, the bad spelling and poor grammar on the website smirks of the poor education often associated with the far-right! Of course, Local Councils are notorious for using these kind of intimidatory tactics – so it only makes sense that they would use tax payer’s money to employ those with a limited enough educational background – so as to suffer no moral qualms!

DPRK: Criteria of Thinking and Practice of Officials! (27.11.2024)

Saying that all consumer goods are directly related to the people’s living, he added that to fully supply quality consumer goods is not merely an economic and technical affair but an important matter of valuing and defending our own things and demonstrating the advantages of our social system.

He stressed the need for industrial establishments to put production on a normal footing and steadily improve the quality of products so that the people can benefit from them, not content with the production and display of samples.

His instructions clearly indicate the criteria of thinking and practice of officials who are directly responsible for improving the people’s standard of living.
