Rough sleepers will no longer be criminalised with the repeal of the Vagrancy Act (Yui Mok/PA)

UK: Labour Scrapping [1824] Vagrancy Act in Publicity Stunt – Replacing It With “New Offences” in Crime & Policing Bill! (11.6.2025)

11/06/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

In other words, the Police cannot properly punish the homeless in the modern era under the 1824 Act – and it must be updated and reformed. Labour thinks it can gain some short-term credit for an apparent “humanitarian” act – when in reality all the powers contained in the 1824 Act are being updated and transferred into a reformed Crime and Policing Bill. This change is superficial and will see the Police given far more relevant powers to arrest, persecute, and/or move on the homeless in many more imaginative and creative ways that by-pass all the legal powers that charities currently use to support and protect the homeless, etc. This is a Labour “attack” on homelessness – disguised as “progress” and “improvement”.

The now-retired Bishop of Durham, Paul Butler, is among those facing action

UK: Ongoing Church of England Child Sexual Abuse Scandel – Seven Clergy to Face Disciplinary Action! (9.6.2025)

09/06/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Retired former Bishop of Durham the Right Reverend Paul Butler is among those who could be banned from ministry following a review of evidence in the report into the prolific abuser John Smyth QC.

Smyth, a barrister who died in South Africa in 2018 at the age of 77, attacked more than 100 boys and young men at his Winchester home in the 1970s and 1980s, the Makin Review found.

That report, published last year, concluded the abuse was covered up within the Church for decades.

While the review led to the eventual resignation of Mr Welby, the Church’s national safeguarding team (NST) undertook to look at all clergy criticised within the report.

In an update on Thursday, the Church said Bishop Butler and six others would face disciplinary proceedings under the Clergy Discipline Measure (CDM).

PAUL HERE! You may already know my work as the Joker and various other characters. Firstly, I’m not gay – and do not like underage girls. By getting that out of the way, I can say that I want to offer you a free pair of sun glasses in recognition of the good work you do. Also, please can I come on your show? I need the revenue boost to pay for all these out of court settlements not related to the above.

DPRK: Trump Threatens World with “Golden Dome”! (28.5.2025)

28/05/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

According to the memorandum, the U.S. plan for the “Golden Dome” missile defense system setting it as a goal to closely defend the Continent of North America from the ballistic missile, cruise missile and supersonic missile attack by its strategic enemy states is a typical product of “America first”, the height of self-righteousness, arrogance, high-handed and arbitrary practice, and is an outer space nuclear war scenario supporting the U.S. strategy for uni-polar domination with the preemptive establishment of the outer space-based military substructure, not a “defensive measure” to cope with the “threat” from someone.

France: UK Fishing-Boat “Impounded” – Hindering Migrant Dinghys? (27.5.2025)

27/05/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said they had failed to stop thousands of migrants crossing the Channel in small boats, accusing France of “taking no action whatsoever at sea and often ushering the illegal immigrants into UK waters”.

“Yet when a UK fishing vessel is in French waters all of a sudden they are magically able to act. If the French can now intercept boats then they should start stopping the boats with illegal immigrants – as international law obliges them to do.”

The UK and the EU have struck a deal that covers fishing, trade, defence, energy and strengthening ties in a number of policy areas still up for negotiation.

A key part of the deal involves giving European fishing boats a further 12 years of access to British waters in exchange for easing some trade frictions.

Critics from the Conservatives and Reform UK described the deal as a “surrender” to the EU, while the Liberal Democrats said the government had taken some “positive first steps” to rebuilding ties with Europe.

Doctor Who and the ‘Betrayal” of Its Futurist Ethos! (25.5.2025)

25/05/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Decades later, Peter Capaldi starred in an episode that featured a large wall containing an impressive picture of VI Lenin! This is the Doctor Who that flirts with the far-left – when at no time did this series similarly flirt with the far-right (partly because such a dalliance would have been “illegal” at the time). Today, British society has visibly shifted to the right – where what was not tolerated in the past – is common-place today. At no time during the 1960s episodes was the hippy movement mentioned. Punk was not mentioned in the 1970s. Thatcherism was not mentioned in the 1980s. Doctor Who was cancelled during the 1990s and so had no chance to mention the collapse of the USSR. The Vietnam War was not mentioned, and neither was the Falklands War. The Golden Rule was that contemporary human society should not impinge upon the imaginary processes that fuelled Doctor Who’s scientific speculation.
