Free Palestine!

US: What Does Kanye West, Eurovision, and the Young Communists Have in Common? (19.5.2025)

Not so long ago – when I uploaded footage of the mangled bodies of Palestinian children killed in the then latest bombing of a school by Israel – WordPress suspended my account for “spamming” – but there is a more sinister aspect to this. When I tried to upload all my own intellectual property from the WordPress platform – to post it elsewhere – WordPress “prevented” me from doing this under the guise of “still” investigating, thus violating their own Terms of Service. When I asked for evidence of my “Spamming”, of course, none was forhcoming. Meanwhile, pro-Israeli bloggers carried-on posting their misinformation on WordPress without interference. From the perspective of UK Law, Wordpress is in a clear violation by withholding my own intellectual copyright – whilst WordPress has been officially advised of this situation.

Iran: US. Launches “Endless War” to Plunder Others’ Resources! (19.5.2025)

“Iran is committed to diplomacy and expects the cruel and unilateral sanctions, which have directly targeted our people, to be truly and tangibly lifted,” he said.

He added that Iran is ready to open a new chapter in its ties with Europe if the latter has a real determination and adopts an independent approach towards Iran.

The Iranian and U.S. delegations have held four rounds of indirect talks on Tehran’s nuclear program and the lifting of U.S. sanctions in the Omani capital Muscat and Italy’s Rome.

Meanwhile, Iran and three European countries — France, Germany and Britain, collectively known as the E3 — held a high-level meeting in Türkiye’s Istanbul on Friday on the latest developments in the Iran-U.S. indirect talks, the sixth round of such talks between Iran and the E3 since September 2024, which have covered Tehran’s nuclear program and the removal of sanctions, among other issues.

Convicted Paedo Nicola Murray

Scotland: Prominent Anti-Trans Activist – Nicola Murray – Found “Guilty” of 20-Year Campaign of Child Sexual Abuse! (15.5.2025)

She said the victims had been “repeatedly struck, slapped and dragged” while one child gave evidence they had been “treated like a dog” by Murray. Ms Porter said Murray had “repeatedly engaged in sexual conversations” and one victim had been left “naked, injured and distressed” on the floor following one particularly savage assault.

The fiscal said another child had been left so terrified of the repeated assaults at the hands of Murray they had wet themselves.

But following five days of evidence the jury took less than two hours to return guilty verdicts on all 10 serious charges at the capital court on Tuesday.

Sheriff Gillian Sharp said due to “the number and gravity of offences which you have been convicted” sentence on Murray would be deferred for the preparation of social work reports. Murray was placed on the sex offenders register on an interim basis and sentence was deferred to May.

Older People Driven to Theft to Survive!

Starmer’s Britain: “Massive Increase” in Pensioner Shoplifting – as Older People Driven to Theft to Survive!! (11.5.2025)

heft within Islam is permitted if it is related to relieving poverty. Indeed, in some Arab States, pristine vending machines are visible on the streets which dispense “free” fresh and good quality food to whoever needs it. Obviously, this attitude has not extended into Judeo-Christian countries – or their secular (capitalist) equivalents. Whilst we contemplate that irony – it might be worth mentioning that people aged 50-63 are not “Pensioners” simply on the grounds that they are not yet retired – or in receipt of Old Age (State) Pension. As various governments keep fiddling with the exact date a person can retire and receive State Pension – the age may now be higher than 64 (the age I remember). Of course, a person can retire at any age below 64 providing they possess an independent means of income – usually a private pension and/or immense savings.

Meerkats at Hobbledown - Epsom!

Hobbledown: May Bank Holiday! (6.5.2025)

On Bank Holiday Monday (May 5th 2025) we spent most of the day at the local petting farm known as Hobbledown (in Epsom). For about four-years (2005-2099), I taught Taijiquan at a nearby leisure centre twice a week – so I know the area well. Furthermore, throughout the years, we have regularly took our children to interact with the animals and for them to have fun in the huge soft play hosted in-doors. Of course, there has been a massive investment and restructuring at Hobbledown which has been very successful at a time when the economy is in melt-down and political incompetence is at an all-time high. It is well designed, with plenty of different animals living in wide open well-managed spaces.

Breaking Rocks on the Rocks!

US: Trump Orders Re-Opening of “The Rock” – Notorious Alcatraz Prison! (5.5.2025)

It would take an enormous amount of money to make Alcatraz into a functioning prison, Professor Gabriel Jack Chin from the Davis School of Law at the University of California told the BBC.

The federal prison system is actually down about 25% from its peak population and “there are a lot of empty beds” in existing prisons, Chin said. “So its not clear if a new one is needed.”

Alcatraz has “a reputation as a tough prison” and Trump is trying to send a message that his administration will be tough on crime, Chin added.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat whose district includes Alcatraz, said the proposal was “not a serious one,” while the Democratic state senator for San Francisco, Scott Wiener, called the idea “deeply unhinged” in post on Instagram and “an attack on the rule of law.”
