Stairway to Heaven!

Northants: Kirby Hall – [1570] Elizabethan Home of Nobility! (1.8.2025)

This building reminded us in structure of Hampton Court (not far from where we live in London) – and Berry Pomeroy in Totnes, South Devon (not far from where my parents live). This is not surprising, as I believe from reading the available “English Heritage” literature that the same architects and engineers were used by the Court of Queen Elizabeth I and the nobility that served her. The front of the Hall faces North – with the back of house facing South (built on a North-South orientation). Local serfs (landless or homeless peasants) and peasants (land-occupying peasants) were employed by the nobility when large-scale building projects were initiated. Indeed, with the development of Guilds (primitive unions) – certain groups of peasants became highly skilled in specific construction and maintenance skills. Whether any such labour was employed from nearly Kirby Village, (situated to the South-West of what became the ornate rear garden of the complex), is open to debate.

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).

British Foreign Office Statement Condemning Israel!

London: 28 Countries Condemn Israel Over “Suffering of Civilians in Gaza”! (22.7.2025)

The statement in question was signed by the Foreign Ministers of the following countries – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Just “why” so many of these countries are outside the EU (even Europe in the case of Japan) is something of a mystery (although ALL might be said to be allies of the US). Either way, and perhaps ironically, China did not sign – or was excluded from signing – I suspect the latter (as China has been calling for peace since day one – when all these listed countries were busy funding, arming, and politically excusing Israel’s criminal behaviour). A cynical take on statements such as this is that they are issued knowing nothing will be done to help Gaza – and that Israel will continue its brutal land-grab unopposed. Is such a scenario, this type of statement serves as a security measure in case any of the international legal actions against Israel gain any legal traction. Should the Israeli leaders end-up in the dock and answering for their War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity – then the Western enablers of these monsters will be brought to the fore. Being able to produce this rather feeble effort of a statement probably amounts to something akin to a “legal defence” in the mind of David Lammy!

Gee Wyles - Covid Star Medal for Bravery 2020-2021

NHS: Gee’s “Covid Star” Medal for Bravery! (18.7.2025)

Of course, when medals are issued en masse like this, as also seen at the end of WWII) it often takes some time before the medals are a) made, and b) presented to the recipients. Gee’s work record and demeanour under pressure were assessed and found “suitable” for the awarding of the “Covid Star” during 2022. Since that date, we have been patiently waiting to receive the physical object – and hold it in our hands. Gee volunteered to work with NO protective-clothing or equipment on the NHS frontline saving human-lives in the UK – so I would say she has earned the right to be called “British”! Gee showed more English-grit than the “White” keyboard warriors sat behind their computer screens concocting all kinds of stupid and anti-intellectual nonsense! These very bad and poor examples of “Englishness” will never know the “grace under pressure” that people like Gee exhibited during a National Emergency. Indeed, Gee saved their ungrateful lives.

York Watergate - 1626 - Victoria Embankment!

UK: Beautiful London – the York Watergate Our Children Have Played Around! (7.7.2025)

The gate was originally the private riverside entrance to York House, a grand 17th-century mansion owned by the Duke of Buckingham. Think of it as a luxurious mooring point at the bottom of the duke’s garden.

York House itself stood on the Strand, which name literally means ‘shore of the river,’ and was considered one of the finest residences in London. At the time, much of the south side of the Strand was lined with palaces boasting direct access to the Thames.

That all changed with the construction of the Thames Embankment between 1864 and 1870, led by visionary engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette. The massive project reclaimed land from the river and shifted the shoreline dramatically forward.

You can find a memorial honouring Sir Joseph Bazalgette just a couple of minutes away from Embankment Gardens, by the Thames. He designed the Victoria, Albert and Chelsea Embankments, reclaiming a strip of land in front of Somerset House and York Watergate.

The Watergate was almost lost during this transformation – plans were even drawn up to move it to nearby Whitehall Gardens. But in the end, it was simply abandoned where it stood, left behind as a relic of a river that had retreated.

UK Border Force - 2025

London: Local Council Faces £5m Shortfall – as Central Government Fails to Finance 3000 Asylum Seekers! (11.6.2025)

he Tory author should visit Sutton – after-all, the Tories imported around 10,000 Hong Kong Rioters all in one go about four-years ago. This is on top of the tens of thousands of Neo-Nazi Ukrainians. As of today, Starmer has stopped this mass importation of the Rioters (and they have been distributed onward) – but there are some streets where only around 20% of the residents are genuine (White) British. The other 80% are “White” foreigner (getting in the way of the good relations we have with non-White people from the British Empire) – being from Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and Hungary, etc. Half fought for Hitler during WWII and complain when British people mark D-Day and Armistice Day. Many are now new followers of Hitler – with their children whispering into the ears of our children at school that “your grandparents were on the wrong side during WWII”. Perhaps if the UK stopped blanket-bombing developing countries – their people wouldn’t feel the need to arrive at Dover on rubber dinghies.
