Historical British Army “Ranks” & “Formations”! (30.8.2024)

There are a number of exceptions to this observation. In 1571, for instance, Queen Elizabeth I raised the “Holland Regiment”. Monck’s Regiment of Foot served the Parliamentary Cause during the English Civil Wars and is today better known as the “Coldstream Guards”.  The “Royal Regiment of Guards” fought for King Charles I during the English Civil Wars and is today known as the “Grenadier Guards”. It seems that early examples of the use of the “Regiment” designation might have included newly formed units with no fighting history or direct links to a British geographical location. These attributes had to be earned through blood and honour. However, eventually very well-establish military units seem to have voluntarily taken on this designation – or been given it by the British government.

Main Street - Forest Hill (Oxford) - OX33 1EB

Oxford: John Milton’s “Mounting Stone” – Forest Hill! (29.8.2024)

As to “why” Oxford Council resorted to this tactic is a matter of conjecture considering how overgrown the bank and stone is – and how difficult it is to actually locate the stone (there is virtually no signage). Perhaps a flat stone was becoming easily obscured by dirt, leaves and over debris – and an upright position rendered it better protected. John Milton (1608-1674) was a literary genius and esteemed poet who lived across the road from this stone and was a supporter of Parliament (and Oliver Cromwell) during the English Republic (1649-1660). His thinking was both progressive and Revolutionary! He (and his wife) were wealthy landowners in the area of the stone – owning property either side of St Nicholas Church in Forest Hill.

Chinese Language Media Hide the Face of the Victim Out of Respect!

London: Horse of the King’s Guard “Bites” Chinese Tourist – British Vlogger “Laughs”! (21.7.2024)

The tourists are attracted by the pomp and ceremony attached to the methods of combat last practiced on the battlefield around 150 years ago! The British Royal Family are actually protected by the armed Royalty and Specialist Protection (RaSP) Unit of the Met Police – which includes the Royalty Protection Group (Special 0perations 14) and Specialist Protection Command (Special Operations 1) – SO14 and SO1. These men and women are highly trained, do not stand-out – and will shoot a suspect dead in seconds if the need arises – needless to say no photographs are allowed. This is a very different reality to modern soldiers having to obey government orders by dressing-up in old uniforms and posing for tourists – tourists who are then (racially) criticised for daring to approach! Apologies to this injured woman and her associates. The British Army has high standards of discipline – standards which were not upheld during this incident.

Nigel Farage is a Fascist Empowered By the British Media!

Fighting Against Reform UK – the Latest Incarnation of Neo-Nazism! (5.7.2024)

All that is cared about is that a politician is seen as supporting Islamic cultural attitudes – and that such a politician can be rightwing or leftwing. Whereas Marxist-Leninists rejects all religiosity in the fight against Zionism (including the ignorance of Islamic theology) – Galloway advocates a rightwing Catholicism and general Islamacist attitude – often influenced by the attitudes of his current partner – who publishes rightwing and far-right attitudes against gay and trans people on her X channel. These fascist attitudes are unacceptable – but who is attacking Galloway’s Workers’ Party? As it is viewed as a pro-Muslim Party – rumour has it that members of Britain’s far-right (possibly within or outside of REFORM) have targeted Galloway’s movement.

Wil a Hung Parliament Be Achieved?

UK: Independent Left & Right Strive for Hung Parliament! (5.6.2024)

What will happen? Interestingly, both the left and right are looking to achieve a Hung Parliament within which no single Party possesses over-all control. This would mean that the “Independents” would exercise an inordinate amount of political power and influence – prevent Labour, the Tories and the LibDems from following their usual neo-con policies in perfect sync with the US. It would also prevent the LibDems from attempting to take the UK back into the European Union (EU) – and hinder a UK government from continuously giving-up sovereignty to an out of control Brussels. Whether this scenario will play-out – only time will tell. As matters stand, a right-wing Labour Party looks like winning as a replacement for a failing right-wing Tory Junta that has spent its time placating the US and pursuing an obvious BJP trajectory!

Hundreds of Labour MPs Support Israeli Genocide in Gaza!

UK: Labour Party “Hides” Friends of Israel List! (1.6.2024)

Israeli embassy front group Labour Friends of Israel has deleted its public list of “Parliamentary supporters” ahead of the UK’s upcoming general election on 4 July.

The deletion appears to be a way to protect pro-Israel Labour candidates from electorial challengers on their left flank.

But copies of the list made as recently as 5 April are still available on internet archives. You can also read a full copy of the most recent list at the end of this article.

It seems likely that the list will be updated and republished later this year after the election.

Labour Friends of Israel did not respond to a request for comment.

The deletion came to light on Monday when right-wing Labour lawmaker Jess Phillips denied in a posting on X (formerly Twitter) that she was a “member” of the group or had “taken money.”

“I’m not a member of LFI I don’t know what being a member even is,” she wrote. It is unclear whether Phillips is denying having taken money from Labour Friends of Israel or from the Israel lobby generally.
