Cheam: School Case Sparks Landmark Ruling on Disabled Pupils’ Rights! (23.8.2026)

I have added the single comment this article has a) attracted, and/or b) been filtered-out and included by the paper (who knows?). Although the readership does not possess all the details that the Tribunal considered – The Sutton Guardian thinks it is reasonable to include a comment from an obvious right-wing troll. Presumably the “presence” of a disabled child would be considered “disruptive” (regardless of disability or behaviour) – or perhaps the a “wheelchair” would be considered “disruptive” because able-bodied students have to “make adjustments” by walking around it? Or, the school needs to “ensure” that the alleyways and corridors are “wide-enough”? The far-right speculation is endless and it is interesting that Sutton Guardian feels the need to share it with the general readership.

UK: Jury Refuses to Convict Seven Palestine Action Activists Over Elbit Factory Raid! (21.8.2026)

The defendants were accused of assisting or encouraging an action at Elbit Systems’ Filton site in August 2024, during which activists allegedly destroyed equipment, including quadcopter drones.

The court heard none of the defendants were at Elbit during raid but were alleged to have helped to plan it, including by compiling an equipment list, reconnaissance, purchasing tools and weapons used by others, and co-ordinating the break-in and its filming.

Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest weapons company and has faced repeated protests and direct action from Palestine Action over its links to the Israeli military and the war in Gaza.

The Filton 25 are a group of 25 pro-Palestine activists, mainly associated with Palestine Action, who were arrested and prosecuted in connection with an action targeting Elbit Systems‘ weapons facility in Filton, near Bristol.

Four other Filton 25 defendants — Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Charlotte Head and Fatema Zainab Rajwani — were sentenced under terrorism legislation following convictions for criminal damage just days before the latest trial began.

Migrants - Do Not Have Sex With Children!

UK: Home Office Instructs Migrants Not to Mistreat Women – Not to Sexually Assault Partners – Not to Have Sex with Children! (20.8.2026)

Hong Kong had double-decker buses and you could tell the British had been there – although I was harassed by the police for being a European in a Chinese area (I went in 1999). Portugal had TV sets with no volume buttons – so that the government could turn the noise down at night. It was the poverty that I saw outside the tourist spots that effected me the most. Holland was perhaps the most laid-back and tolerant country I visited. Labour has no intention of removing the anti-union laws or stopping mass immigration. This leaflet smacks of desperation as Labour faces the threat of being voted-out and a far-right party taking its place. This leaflet is cosmetic. indeed, it comes across as farcical. The far-right portray the issue as the migrants committing crimes against the (White) British – but the migrants (or at least a certain strata of that population) commits crimes against other migrants – whilst crime is also committed against migrants by non-migrants. Migrants are also raped and robbed. It is the concept of the free movement of cheap labour over national borders that is causing all the problems. Now, Burnham has announced that there are “too many” White areas left outside of the major cities that he intends to fill-up with new arrivals. It is stupid statemets like this that leads to mass protests and lost elections.

Young people with physical and visual impairments will have greater opportunities to participate in sport through the expansion of the ISPORT programme into ISPORT+.

Malta: ISPORT+ EXPANDS OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES! (12.8.2026)

The initiative, launched four years ago through a collaboration between The Malta Trust Foundation and the Malta Paralympic Committee, initially focused on children with visual impairments. Under a renewed partnership, ISPORT+ will now broaden its sporting and coaching opportunities to include young people with physical disabilities.

Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, founder and chair of The Malta Trust Foundation, said the aim was to reach as many children and young people as possible and help them discover their potential through sport. She highlighted the confidence, happiness and sense of achievement gained by participants over the past four years.

North Devon District Hospital bosses said temporarily suspending its birthing services was the "only safe course of action"

UK: North Devon NHS Leads the Way in “Closing-Down” [Socialist] Health-Service! (7.8.2026)

I have written elsewhere about how a close friend of mine used to work for the Audit Commission in 2009 – and how she had to attend a meeting with New Labour Ministers (I believe then under Gordon Brown). New (right-wing) Labour was dedicated to abolishing the NHS and Welfare State – everything the 1948 Soviet-influenced Labour government had brought-in. This was the Tory-dream of Tony Blair – who admired Maraget Thatcher (I know – you couldn’t make this up – but it is all true). We knew from 1997 onwards that New Labour was reactionary – but until my friend attended this governmental meeting – I had no idea to the extent. Needless to say, she returned home looking in a state of shock. She told me that the US – via the EU – had instructed the UK that ALL Socialist entities had to a) be privatised, and b) sold into the profitable control of the US. Bear in-mind that ALL the political parties in the UK (so it did not matter who you voted for) had to follow this US directive as the US maintained a direct control of the Bank of England (as it does all EU banks). This ensures that all European countries (including the UK – even though as “Celts” we are not strictly speaking “part of Europe”) do as they are told when the Americans demand it. Doubt this? Look at how everything now costs five-times as much as the US pets of Neo-Nazi Ukraine and Zionist Israel demand your money to pursue their far-right objectives. (Around 1990-1991, I was wandering around the campus of Loughborough University – North of London – when I encountered US [NATO] soldiers in uniform. They “pushed” me out of the way whilst laughing – and went about their disrespectful way).

The U.S. dollars - Essence of Capitalism!

China: The West Wanting to “Decouple” from the PRC is Simply Impossible! (4.8.2026)

Meanwhile, the US is paranoid about the Chinese people possessing high IQs and being able to see things the average Westerner may not. This is believed to the basis of advanced technology hidden in plain site – and voluntarily imported into the West (through the agency of Western greed). In other words, the Americans are paranoid that the Chinese are exporting to the West a “hidden” computerised technology that can, when remotely triggered from Beijing, render useless all US technology and power-generating capability (the National Grid, for instance, could be instantly “turned-off” and Defence Computers short-circuited). Just as China can pursue any path it wishes – it is also true that so can the West. Decoupling, at least for the Westerners, is viewed as a logical strategy of self-defence. It is as if the West believes it has been caught unawares by the “cleverness” of China – and is belatedly doing something about it. Unless there is a change of leadership and thinking in the West (which is unlikely) – this policy will be pursued regardless of the cost. For the (bourgeois) West, the cost is worth the West retaining a) its economic dominance, and b) its cultural independence. This is true even if the policy is illogical or even wrong – as “power” to create or mould material reality is the key operative here. The problem is that China can do nothing to prevent this “decoupling” policy if the West insists upon pursuing it – as “decoupling” is viewed very much as the “reversing” of Clinton’s (mistaken) pro-China policies.
