Pressure-Point Therapy is an Important Aspect of TCM!

China: Buddhist-Marxist Alliance (UK) “Socialist” Medicine Upgraded – 70% of TCM Patents Withdrawn Due to Safety! (31.1.2026)

On top of this, some aspects of TCM have developed through added-on superstitions that became popular in the past – but are not related to the philosophical foundation of TCM (probably the “Change Classic”). These Chinese superstitions are culturally comforting – but are not premised upon genuine TCM philosophy – and cannot be materially (objectively) proven to work either traditionally or cotemporally. In the West there are two strands of TCM – one practiced and passed-on by ethnic Chinese people (who may or may not – be linked directly to Mainland China) – the other practiced and passed-on by (usually “White”) non-Chinese people. The latter category evolved out of the Western invasion of China – and the “enforced” teaching of TCM to Westerners. In the UK there are TCM centres (specialising in “acupuncture”) that have no links with any authorising ethnic Chinese institution. These are considered “racist” in historical origin and function – as such entities represent the “White” appropriation of Chinese TCM culture – a process which “excludes” the ethnic Chinese from their own culture. This remains the case even if certain ethnic Chinese individuals are taught this stream of Westernised TCM (which actually happens).

This report sets out the nature of poverty in the UK, and evaluates changes under the last Conservative-led Government. It also sets out the scale of action necessary for the current Government to deliver the change it has promised.

Joseph Rowntree Foundation: UK Poverty 2026: The Essential Guide to Understanding “Deep” Poverty in the UK! (27.1.2026)

Disabled people face a higher risk of poverty. This is driven partly by the additional costs associated with disability and ill-health, and partly by the barriers to work that disabled people face. However, the proportion of disabled working-age adults in work increased from 42% in 2010/11 to 53% in 2023/24, while poverty rates remained steady over that period. In the latest data, there were 17 million disabled people in the UK — that is, 1 in 4 people (24%) — and almost 4 in 10 families contained at least 1 person who was disabled. The poverty rate for disabled people was 28%, 8 percentage points higher than the rate for people who were not disabled. Half of all people who were disabled and living in poverty in the latest data had a long-term, limiting mental condition — around 2.4 million people. The poverty rate for this group was 34%, compared with 28% for people with a physical disability.

Athika Ahmed - a Wonderful Person!

Wales: Supporting the Wonderful Work of  “Athika Ahmed” – Whilst Exposing and Opposing Hideous UK Media Racism! (23.1.2026)

NHS Voices, an initiative to promote the work of NHS staff and volunteers, praised Ahmed as an “unsung hero” who has contributed for many years: “Athika has been instrumental in many of the Health Board’s children’s plans and now the women’s health plan.

“She is an ambassador for the Love Your Period campaign and supports and educates young Muslim girls when it comes to the stigmatised topic of menstruation and cycles.

“All of her time she volunteers amongst her studies and has gone an unsung hero for many years.”

Misinformation has spread on social media channels including X, Facebook and YouTube across the world claiming she leads health affairs and holds a senior position in the Welsh Government, with some incorrectly claiming she is the Welsh health minister – a role held by Neath Senedd member Jeremy Miles.

Civilised Islam - Free Food & Drink Given Daily in Dubai!

UK: NHS IT Worker Stole [& Sold] Government-Issued Laptops to Buy Food! (17.1.2026)

Instead of granting NHS staff more pay (fitting to their qualifications, profession, and workload – they work day and night 12-hour shifts contrary to Union legislation and trading law) – the Tories came-up with the demeaning idea that between shifts, Midwives and Nurses can present a special letter of dispensation to their nearest Food Bank and receive a Food Parcel to feed their families. This is part of the ongoing “de-skilling” and “false crisis” that has its root in a deliberate lack of government funding at source. We continue to pay for a fully-funded NHS through Income Tax (a tax that is currently at an all-time high) – but receive a sub-standard service which is getting worse everyday – in preparation for full-privatisation (our tax is being given to Zionist Israel, Neo-Nazi Ukraine, and privileged groups of incomers – with even North Americans now seeking asylum from Trump in the UK). Until 2010, people in the UK had never heard of Food Banks – but the Tories and LibDems abolished the old UK (1948) system of welfare – which granted a money income to retain dignity – and adopted the US system which is designed to demean as it assists (barely). I am not surprised this individual (below) stole UK government laptops to eat (I certainy do not judge him) – as these devices are military-grade, sold at cost price, and do not have the usual “redundancy” built-in that is common-place within the commercial market. Consumerism demands that longterm stability is abandoned for short-term market stimulation (i.e., things need to be replaced regularly – and this costs money). This prevents the working class from saving their income and using items designed to last decades – not weeks, months, or years (such as denim jeans and the like). Credit where credit is due – within Islam – free food and drink must be provided “free” to every citizen and it is not a crime to steal to eat.

Rest in Peace Chan Yin-lam [陳彥霖 – Chen Yan-Lin] - We Love You!

Hong Kong: What Really Happened to Chan Yin-lam [陳彥霖 – Chen Yan-Lin] -Inquest Verdict Debunks Murder Conspiracy! (3.1.2026)

I have a particular fondness for these people as they rather comical approached me in early 1999 – when I was stood outside a shop in Kowloon that was so “small” I could not fit in it. Two armed Police Constables – in perfect English – asked me what I was doing in a “Chinese” area. It was a good question and I have to admit I was stumped to furnish a convincing answer on the spot – until a Chinese relative appeared and explained in Cantonese that my “ugly” Western appearance “was too big” for the “properly designed and shaped Chinese shops” (I am 6′ 2″ and weigh around 20 stone – so you can see their point). My relative also told me-off for not “bowing my head” out of respect and keeping my eyes looking humbly at the ground – where they belong. One Constable then answered in Cantonese – saying to my relative that “Hong Kong is no longer a British colony and the English should not be allowed to walk around like they own it.” We were let-off with a “Warning” – which I very much appreciated at the time as it was my first offense – and I believe I taught gongfu to one of the sons of the Constables! It was a little bit nerve-whacking, as the Constables authoritatively “fingered” their truncheons during the entire encounter.

New Labour Continues Its Attack Upon the Disabled!

UK: New Labour Attack on Disabled Continues! (5.12.2025)

Meanwhile, DWP’s controversial new anti-fraud bill – now to be known as the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error, and Recovery) Act – has become law after receiving royal assent on Tuesday.

Last month, cross-party MPs warned that ministers’ refusal to introduce a key protection into the bill could see a repeat of the countless deaths caused by the austerity measures of past governments.

And they warned that future “authoritarian” governments could misuse the powers the Labour government has claimed through the bill, which applies to England, Scotland and Wales.

One of those powers will allow DWP to force banks to examine the accounts of claimants of means-tested benefits and then provide details of any accounts where there have been potential breaches of benefit eligibility rules.

Disability Rights UK said it was “deeply concerned” at the “bank spying bill” becoming law.
