Historical British Army “Ranks” & “Formations”! (30.8.2024)

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.

Sutton Friends of Palestine - 2024

South London: Sutton Friends of Palestine – March! (29.6.2024)

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.

Remembering the Mighty Soviet Red Army of Peasants and Workers on May 9th – as the “Immortal Regiment” Marches On! (9.5.2024)

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!

How the Bourgeois Labour Party Destroyed Itself – the Corbyn & Starmer Years! (7.5.2024)

Before Covid-19, Gee, Mei-An and Kai-Lin took part an anti-fascist march in London. As usual, we were the only Communists proudly carrying the Red Flag – but my family was racially attacked by a group of Socialist Workers’ Party, a Polish migrant who stated he was proud his grandfather had fought for Hitler – and a number “White” Labour Party members. They told Gee to go back to China and for my children to be deported. Gee was born in the UK and is British – whilst all my children were born in Britain! I reported this to the Communist Party of Britain – but as usual nothing was done. Having listened to what Kier Starmer was doing during Jeremy Corbyn’s tenure as Leader – I now believe we suffered at the hands of the deliberate right-wing insurgency which Kier Starmer led! I think we were the victims of Labour Party sabotage aimed specifically at the far-left – and to undermine Corbyn’s Leadership.

May 1st – The US Origins of Labour Day! (1.5.2024)

In 1890, May Day “reached” the Russian Empire, where it was first marked by a strike of 10,000 Warsaw workers. Since 1900, various demonstrations and strikes have been held annually on May 1st, but it became possible to freely celebrate May Day only after the victory after the February Revolution (February 1917) – before this date, the holiday was considered “Sedition” and was officially banned by the Czarist government. And already on May 1st, 1917, under the Bolshevik slogans “Down with the Imperialist War” and “All Power to the Soviets,” millions of workers marched along the streets of Russian cities!

William Cecil - Closet Revolutionary!

The Lord Burghley – William Cecil (1520-1597) – Closet Revolutionary! (30.4.2024)

To remedy this situation, during March 1563, William Cecil drafted a “Bill for the Succession” designed for Parliament to debate and pass (as an “Act”) providing it received Royal Assent. Cecil suggested that if Elizabeth I died suddenly with no direct (or suitable) heirs, the Crown (and all its powers) should be temporally transferred to the Privy Council (effectively making England a “Republic”). Whilst this was happening, the English Parliament was to sit, discuss and then “vote” for the most suitable candidate to ascend to the throne – thus creating an “Elected Monarchy”! If this idea had been successful – virtually everything earned during the English Civil Wars of the 1640s would have been peacefully achieved around 80-years earlier! As matters transpired, Elizabeth I quashed the Bill by refusing to allow it to be discussed – or move to the voting and assenting stages.
