UK: DWP Issues 2nd Dodgy Press Release Designed to Trick Media into Supporting Disability Benefits Cuts! (22.3.2025)

The department’s fourth misleading statement came as it claimed – again in a footnote – that 70 per cent of the increase in the number of disabled people receiving the health element of universal credit and ESA in the past five years “was not expected by the Department”.

But it failed to mention the impact of the pandemic, with research by the respected Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) – published the previous day – finding that “mental health has worsened since the pandemic”, which was “consistent with rising disability benefit claims for mental health”.

The IFS report found that “deaths of despair” – those attributed to alcohol, drugs and suicide – rose by 24 per cent in England and Wales in 2023, compared with the 2015-19 pre-pandemic average.

Revolutionary Blake's7! 2024 Bluray!

UK: The Revolutionary Spirit of Blake’s 7! (7.1.2025)

I watched the BBC SciFi series entitled “Blake’s 7” when it was first broadcast between 1978-1981. Like many, I was sad when the series ended. It grew out of Dr Who (Terry Nation) and reflected a left-wing uprising against a right-wing Fascist State. The late 1970s was the last time a left-wing Labour Party was in power. The British workers united and rose-up to secure their rights with strikes, mass demonstrations, and marches. During the 1970s, and as a reaction to the left-leaning Hippy movement of the 1960s, The British “National Front” (NF) was on the march with its rampant message of misogyny, racism, and wanton violence. This led to the defeat of the workers at the ballot box (that’s liberal democracy for you) and the advent of the fascistic Margaret Thatcher – a working class Tory who had benefited from the free milk given to school children, free healthcare, free education, subsidised social housing, and welfare support, etc. During her ten-year tenure – Thatcher took all this away from the British people!

Paris Para-Olympics: BBC Celebrates “Non-Chinese” Victory! (6.9.2024)

The BBC “celebrates” that the “Chinese” Para-Olympic Athlete – Gao Gang (高芳) – was defeated, not as an opposing sportsperson, but simply because she happens to be “Chinese”! The reality is that the capitalist West does not value people with disability – as their minds and bodies are considered “unexploitable” from a typical commercial perspective – or if exploitable, to a far lesser degree then a person considered “able”, and so on. This is why the capitalists have referred to disabled people as being “Invalids” – that is a “person without validity”. Nothing has changed in essence – despite much appearing to change on the surface. I fully support all people with disabilities – including Sammi Kinghorn (what an achievement) – but I do not accept BBC racism disguised as sporting commentary. Furthermore, people with disabilities are stronger joining together in an “Internationalist” collective – rather than separating into competing camps of Bourgeois spite, pettiness, and reaction. Socialist China values people with disabilities – the capitalist West does not – and this is demonstrated through the PRC’s total domination of the Medal Table at the Paris Para-Olympics!

T?FL Takes Private Cash!

London: Cash-Strapped TFL “Rents” Publicly owned “Stations” to Fill Funding Shortfall! (28.8.2024)

A TfL spokesperson said: “Partnerships like this help us and brands positively engage with the hundreds of thousands of people who pass through our stations in a fun and playful way, while still ensuring they can use our network safely.
“Signage within trains, including the in-car digital displays which show what the next station is, automated train announcements, and route maps within the trains, were not changed as part of the temporary take-over.”

Resist Like Nature!

Email: UK – Losing Our Freedoms! (15.3.2024)

The wise amongst us are keeping our heads down and resisting in any way we can. Official support for Neo-Nazi Ukraine (even by the left in the UK) has been tantamount to the UK supporting Hitler in 1939. The US is extending NATO into Eastern Europe through the agency of fascism due to its hatred of Russia. As for Palestine, there is a clear example that non-White people can be systematically subjected to a genocide by a White people following a religiously motivated form of fascism! The Bourgeoisie has really got its act together nowadays!

Zionist Tony Blair

Palestine: PFLP Warns of the Suspicious Movements of Zionist War Criminal -Tony Blair! (2.1.2024)

The PFLP considered that the return of this war criminal (with blood-stained hands) to the international and political scene – the perpetrator of the “weapons of mass destruction in Iraq” lie – is a bad omen! The PFLP stressed that the Palestinian people (and their Resistance) will fight any efforts (or plans) aimed at developing the forced (or voluntary) displacement of the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people will also RESIST any efforts to place the Gaza Strip under any form of international control – as this will be an indirect victory for the Zionist Occupation!
