Felice Beato - British Photographer!

UK: The Historical Background of Colonial-Era Western Photography in Beijing! (26.10.2026)

What is truly curious, however, is that more than 30 years have since passed, yet this particular panoramic scene remains in my possession alone; I have neither encountered nor discovered the existence of a second copy. Thus, for the time being, it can be said that the earliest images of the Inner City of Beijing—specifically the area around Tiananmen—(found in printed materials from the Republic of China era) exist only in my personal collection; no one else possesses them. In terms of historical narrative, this photograph—a view of Beijing’s Inner City forcibly captured by Anglo-French aggressors—represents an eternal source of pain for the Chinese people. It serves as stark, tangible proof that a nation left behind will inevitably fall victim to aggression.

Surat Priest Arrested for Allegedly Sexually Assaulting Woman

India: BJP-Era Sexual Deviancy – Hindu Priest [Naresh Bhuva] – Accused of Sexual Assault! (19.7.2026)

As per the complaint, in April 2025 the accused allegedly called her to a hotel near Singanpor Crossroads under the pretext of offering blessings. The woman alleged that after consuming prasad given by the accused, she felt dizzy, lost consciousness and later found herself unclothed inside the hotel room. She further alleged that when she confronted the accused, he threatened to circulate her nude photographs and videos if she disclosed the incident to anyone.

The complainant alleged that the accused subsequently used the threat of leaking the photographs to repeatedly call her to the same hotel and sexually assault her against her will. She further stated that the alleged blackmail continued even after her marriage in February 2026, causing distress in her marital life.

Brixham Down Wind Mill Road!

Brixham: A Photographic Strole Down “Windmill Hill”! (3.4.2026)

Gee had to park the car at the top of Wind Mill Hill – as that was the only place a parking-space was available not patrolled by militant locals who still seem to think WWII is ongoing. I jest – but one or two were a little bit prickly – commenting about “Townies” and “City-Dwellers” with “their big cars”! And so on. Still, at the end of the day, we are the visitors and we will be gone tomorrow. After carrying-out my duty – and visiting my various family relatives – I thought it would be a good idea to make a record of the journey down the hill from the parking-spot to the rented house. The view was quite beautiful and I hope I have captured our journey on foot down a steep Brixham hill – although we could not actually find a “Wind Mill”! Come to think of it – we are supposed to be near the Brixham Army Cadet Centre – but we never found this place either!

Uncle Joe Will See Us Through!

UK: Red Family Solidarity Montage! (16.1.2026)

A Red tribute to being working class and on track for a Socialist Revolution and the eventual Communist transformation of society. Trotskyism and politicised religion will be no more. Trotsky can be studied in the libraries – whilst religion will become a private matter. The working class is created generation after generation by the bourgeoisie – simply because the capitalists cannot exist without workers – which they need to exploit. It is the greed of the middle class which ensures that the working class is perpetuated from one era to the next. This cycle of breeding for exploitation will continue until the bourgeoisie is overthrown.

Zen of Galmpton! (24.8.2035)

Here we are. Zen is Ch’an in reverse – which is good as perception is the wrong way around. Turn it the right way around – and Zen becomes Ch’an the right way around. Not always an easy task – like catching a steam train whilst it is obscured by it’s own smoke. What a joy such contradictions are. They exist to test our perception and determination. As such, nothing else matters. We all look up – and we all look down – just like every koan (gong-an) you may have viewed. Still, none of it matters if you cannot lay it all down. None of it matters at all.

Love Binds Humanity Together!

UK: Father’s Day – June 15th! (15.6.2025)

Seriously though, When I look back at the perfect days of the late 1970s – the UK was basically a Soviet State managed by not too convincing representatives of the bourgeoisie! NHS Staff were paid fully and received everything a grateful State could provide. Our NHS friends would go on holiday to Cuba and Yugoslavia – two Socialist States with free cradle to the grave healthcare. Tony Blair blanket-bombed Yugoslavia for 78-days in 1998 – simply because its people wanted to stay “Socialist” (the US deliberately bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade as a “warning”). Although I recognise the bravery of the RAF during WWII – I am reticent to visit RAF Museums on the grounds that since WWII – the RAF has been involved in one bombing atrocity after another – including killing our Comrades in Yemen. As an Englishman – I refuse to accept this behaviour from my country. England has a responsibility to bring peace and harmony to the world – emanating from Stone Henge – and not to participate in the destructive underbelly of US anti-intellectualism.
