Wales: Bizarre “Baumaris Town Council” Functionality Issue Persists! (30.8.2026)

This aligns with the BBC being a (forcibly) publicly-funded entity that behaves in a monolithic manner toward its financiers (the huddled masses). The BBC has routinely misreported about China, Iran, Russia, and has openly supported Neo-Nazism in Ukraine and the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The BBC, whilst being financed by the working-class – operates a ruthless centre, centre-right (bourgeois) trajectory in its reporting. This continuous disinforming has led to the BBC being banned in Russia and China for “racialised” reporting (amongst other places). It would seem that the “Beaumaris Town Council” has a historical issue regarding a rupture between the people who “elect” the Town Council – and how the Town Council that “delivers” all the functions expected of such a (democratically) elected entity. In a similar situation as that highlighted below – half of the “Beaumaris Town Council” (including the “Mayor”) “resigned” from their roles in 2017. It would seem that the local people are not satisfied with how the Town Council operates and is holding it democratically accountable (the local masses possess the democratic power to do this as “voting” equals “function”).

China: Milk Tea Nourishes Grassroots Governance & Ethnic Unity in Xinjiang! (11.8.2026)

For some, the tea gathering may help boost their business. Local craftsman Abduxukur Abdukadir has a problem. His handmade leather boots are of fine quality, yet the steady stream of tourists during peak season has not translated into sales. At the gathering, the neighbours suggested he turn the boots into souvenir keychains, while Zulayat Nurat, a local gourd painting artist, offered to help.

Zulayat Nurat also put forward demands for wider promotion of her traditional gourd painting craft. The community responded swiftly, promoting her works on official platforms and offering a 30-square-metre studio free of rent. “The community truly values our efforts,” she said.

The milk tea gatherings started in 2023 and have been held monthly ever since, according to Nijat Parhat, Party chief of the community.

Support Cuba!

Cuba Confirms Recent Meeting with US Delegation! (23.4.2026)

He said the talks have been handled “with discretion,” as they are considered by the Cuban government to be “a sensitive matter.”

Garcia stressed neither side set deadlines or made any coercive demands, and all exchanges took place respectfully and professionally.

“The removal of the energy blockade against the country was a top priority” for the Cuban representatives, he said, referring to sanctions announced by Washington against countries that sell fuel to Cuba.

“This act of economic coercion is an unjustified punishment against the entire Cuban population. It is also a form of global blackmail against sovereign states, which have every right to export fuel to Cuba under the rules governing free trade,” Garcia emphasized.

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un met for talks in Beijing

China: Putin Meets DPRK’s Kim in Beijing! (4.9.2025)

The two leaders met formally at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse after attending a military parade in the Chinese capital that marked the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Putin and Kim traveled from a formal reception to the negotiations in the same car, the Kremlin said in a post on social media.

After a bilateral meeting between Russian and DPRK delegations, the two leaders held a one-on-one meeting, the Kremlin said.

Putin also invited Kim to visit Russia again, following on from the DPRK leader’s last visit to the country in 2023.

In his remarks, Kim said the cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow has “significantly strengthened” since the two countries signed a strategic partnership pact in June last year during a summit in the DPRK capital.

A Chinese Lion Guards the Stairs!

Peter Wyles Blog – Paignton: Strength Through Peace & Happiness – the Explorers Return! (28.8.2025)

My Dad types with one-hand – his left – so it takes hours just to produce a single (simple) post. This does not stop his drive – despite being 82-years old! Hope springs eternal. I like to share his blog-post to a larger audience – as I think wisdom is magnified through its sharing! Diane Wyles took this photograph and digitally enhanced it for social media usage. Dad has included a poem by Dylan Thomas – and reiterates the fact that we must continue to fight the oppression that runs through the centre of UK culture. Whilst doing this – we can do this on our own terms. Those with power can do whatever they won’t to – but whilst our bodies are being oppressed (and are choices taken away) – we can retain whatever attitude we wish to have. So be it. We will fight and die on our own terms – this is a right that cannot be taken away.
