International Women's Day - 2025!

Laos: International Women’s Day [March 8th] Celebrated in Vientiane! (9.3.2025)

“In 1910,” she added, “the first international conference on women’s issues was held in Denmark, with over 100 representatives from 17 countries. The conference officially recognized March 8 as International Women’s Day. Since then, March 8 has become a significant political event, marking a fundamental victory for the international women’s movement in the struggle for the legitimate rights and interests of working women worldwide. The movement’s slogans include ‘8 hours of work a day, equal pay for equal work for men and women, health protection for women and children, opposition to war and aggression, and the preservation of world peace.’ Today, March 8 is celebrated in many countries around the world.”

Yemen Stand-Up to Zionism!

PFPL Condemns US Declaration of the Yemeni “Ansar Allah” [أنصار الله] Group a “Terrorist” Entity – When America is the Greatest Terrorist Threat! (9.3.2025)

The United States, which ignites wars around the world and supports the Zionist entity in its aggression against our Palestinian people, and provides it with political and military cover for its crimes, is not in a position to classify Resistance Organizations and Freedom Fighters, but rather it is the Americans who are the number one enemy of people who are seeking liberation and independence!

The Popular Front affirms its full support for the Yemeni people and Ansar Allah in the face of these US sanctions, aggression and siege, and respects the Yemeni people’s steadfastness as a model to be emulated in resisting colonialism and its tools in the region.

Black Dr Who

UK: A Black Dr Who Requires a Black Script-Writer! (4.3.2025)

I do not like the new Shogun series as many of the lead-roles are played by Western-born Asian women – who “pretend” to be ethnically Japanese (again the script-writers are White). Japanese-born women are “Japanese” – they do not have to hide their “Americanness” to play a stereotypical part (usually the insane and deceptive temptress). I do not agree with the fascists – who hate everyone who possesses a different colour skin – but I do draw the line at White people thinking they can talk for non-White people. This is not an appropriate way of doing things. I do not like Nccuti Gatwa’s Dr Who because I can see clearly the dissonance between his “Blackness” and the “Whiteness” of the pen of RTD!

Two Revolutionaries!

UK: From Workers’ Rights – All Other Rights Flow! (1.2.2025)

The problem is so bad that even gay groups side with the opinions of bourgeois reaction and attack the progressive record of the USSR. This is why I do not support “bourgeois” gay rights groups per se (although I do support gay people in general). This is because bourgeois gay people are class enemies who support predatory capitalism. On the other hand, I do support Revolutionary workers who might choose to identify as Socialists or Communists first and foremost – and who are also distinctive in their other self-perceptions (a small number of the original Bolsheviks are said to have been gay – with this being known to Lenin). The point is that fighting for bourgeois acceptance is not good enough – as it leaves all the injustices of capitalism in place. It is through the overthrow of capitalism that all other Revolutionary change will come. Just being bourgeois and gay is not good enough!

PRC Places Trade with US Ahead of Solidarity with Cuba!

Cuba: Outgoing Biden Removes Socialist State from “Terrorist” List! (15.1.2025)

I thank all those who contributed to the decision announced today by the United States to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, where it should never have been and which, along with two other measures adopted, has had a high cost for the country and Cuban families .

It is a decision in the right direction, although it was taken late and with limited scope . The blockade and most of the extreme measures that were put in place since 2017 to suffocate the Cuban economy and cause shortages for our people remain in place .

toilet warning city road

London: City Road [EC1V 2NR] – Shoreditch Side-Street “Not a Toilet”! (5.11.2024)

After being in the vicinity of Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road – Shoreditch – East Central London), we had just visited a new Chinese Supermarket [Fu Lai], we stumbled upon a very strange side-street which cannot be fenced-off because it is publicly accessible. We had seen this place years ago – but we did not record it at the time. Apparently, the sign on either side of this narrow in-dent states that the area is NOT a “Public Toilet”! How odd! This is a posh place full of new high-rise (and incredibly expensive) flats strictly for the elite. As there are no public houses of clubs – it is difficult to understand just why it is that the local population would use this side-street as a toilet. It seems to me that this might be a fake landmark designed to attract bemused tourists and incredulous locals. Perhaps an urban myth.
