Escalation pursues America at sea, strikes shake the heart of the Jewish entity, millions fill the squares with crowds, and chants whose messages are heard by the whole world… This is the global Yemen of Jerusalem.
Million-man march on!

At the Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery of St Petersburg (Leningrad), the President laid a wreath at the Motherland monument to honour the memory of the fallen Leningrad residents and defenders.
At least 420,000 civilians of Leningrad who died from starvation, cold, and disease, or in air-raids, as well as 70,000 soldiers are buried in the cemetery’s 186 communal graves and 6,000 individual military graves.
The memorial wall behind the Motherland monument carries the words by poet Olga Bergholz: “No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten.”
As many Arabs feel uneasy about the US policy of converted every nation to a pro-Israel State – the Yemeni people once again asserted their sovereignty and took control of their own country in 2014! Of course, the UK and other satellite countries of the US refuse to recognise the new Yemeni State – and have had the RAF (which saved the UK from Nazi German invasion during WWII) bomb the Yemeni people! I consider this a UK War Crime at exactly the same time that the UK government is arming Israel and Neo-Nazi Ukraine, not to mention granting Asylum to millions of far-right Ukrainians simply on the grounds they hold anti-Russian viewpoints! What a magnificent site it is to see the Yemeni people marching in defiance of UK and US fascism – whilst protecting their own waters from hostile Zionist shipping!
There are a number of exceptions to this observation. In 1571, for instance, Queen Elizabeth I raised the “Holland Regiment”. Monck’s Regiment of Foot served the Parliamentary Cause during the English Civil Wars and is today better known as the “Coldstream Guards”. The “Royal Regiment of Guards” fought for King Charles I during the English Civil Wars and is today known as the “Grenadier Guards”. It seems that early examples of the use of the “Regiment” designation might have included newly formed units with no fighting history or direct links to a British geographical location. These attributes had to be earned through blood and honour. However, eventually very well-establish military units seem to have voluntarily taken on this designation – or been given it by the British government.
Of course, we support the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) – and I often translate their Arabic-language articles into English translation. I have no idea what the internal politics are for the Sutton Friends of Palestine – as all these groups are affiliated to this or that orientation. As matters stand, this group formed-up in the square outside of the Waterstones Book Shop. I over-heard that they would soon be marching through Sutton High Street. We tried to acquire a leaflet – but was told that there were none – but we could “purchase” a badge – which seems a little lax. Leaflets can and do travel far and wide. We are Veterans of protest marches in the UK – most through Central London and involving millions of people! The anti-Israel marches have usually attracted huge numbers – primarily of Muslim people and their supporters. Perhaps half of this group were Muslim people.
A very dear friend of mine forwarded the above video – taken in the City of “Chisinau” – the capital of Moldova! This is the May 9th Victory March of the Immortal Regiment comprised of those who fought, died, were wounded or survived the terrible war against fascism during the 1930s and 1940s! Of course, this war was led by the massive USSR in the East and tiny Great Britain in the West! The British are Celts and do not give-up with a fight. What we lack in size of country we make for in strength of fighting spirit! The unelected Tory Dictatorship we currently have tyrannising the British people (and the world) at the moment are far from being Celts – and are linked quite clearly to Tory and Indian BJP fascism!
