Joseph Rowntree Foundation: UK Poverty 2026: The Essential Guide to Understanding “Deep” Poverty in the UK! (27.1.2026)

27/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Disabled people face a higher risk of poverty. This is driven partly by the additional costs associated with disability and ill-health, and partly by the barriers to work that disabled people face. However, the proportion of disabled working-age adults in work increased from 42% in 2010/11 to 53% in 2023/24, while poverty rates remained steady over that period. In the latest data, there were 17 million disabled people in the UK — that is, 1 in 4 people (24%) — and almost 4 in 10 families contained at least 1 person who was disabled. The poverty rate for disabled people was 28%, 8 percentage points higher than the rate for people who were not disabled. Half of all people who were disabled and living in poverty in the latest data had a long-term, limiting mental condition — around 2.4 million people. The poverty rate for this group was 34%, compared with 28% for people with a physical disability.

London: Highest Unemployment Rate in UK! (27.1.2026)

This was the attack on our psychological, intellectual, and emotional freedom (the Tories effectively banned the Red Flag – equating it with the Nazi German swastika and far-right terrorist groups) – whilst on the economic and material front, prices rose by five-times over-night! This has not stopped with the election of Trump – but has got far worse whilst wages stagnate (we were already suffering from so-called Austerity) and even reduce in real terms! Businesses are collapsing, doors are closing, and it looks more and more like the bourgeois capitalists are preparing the UK and EU for a major global conflict as a means to achieve full employment through military conscription, and achieving full industrial output via arms production. Any excess working-class population will be reduced by massive losses on the battlefield. This process will re-set the populations of the US, UK, and EU to the point achieved in 1945 – and prepare the populations for decades of recuperative economic and social growth. It does not matter who the enemy is – just as long as there is an “enemy”. We must all hate the government decreed “enemy” and agree to kill each other. This is the boom and bust economic activity associated with predatory capitalist. Capitalism collapsed in the US in 1929 – with Hitler coming to power in 1933 (Mussolini had already came to power in 1922), with the Spanish Civil War occurring (1936-1939), and then finally WWII (1939-1945) – with America joining in in 1941. All the mechanisms introduced post-1945 supposedly put into place to ensure a perpetual peace – have failed due to a lack of will to maintain and perpetuate them. Once again, the myth that “war” is easier and preferable to a “just peace” has been fully established. We are on the brink people – with the US, Neo-Nazi Ukraine, and Zionist Israel (the war-monger triad) – about to push us over the edge!

UK: Day-Out in London – Chinese New Year Dim Sum [Yum Cha] – Cute Toys and Old Buildings! (24.1.2026)

24/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

This is our celebratory Chinese New Year meal designed to welcome-in the New Year (4724 – the longest continuous civilisation in the world). In so doing, we traversed around the West-End and moved in and out of cute shops in search of this or that toy, cake, or drink! Along the way we attempted to educate our daughters – explaining history here – philosophy there! Furthermore, it is a time of renew the “qi-energy” and creating an environment of peace and blessings for all life-forms (not just humans). The fire horse will burn away all the obstacles that hinder your progress – and will possess the strength to carry through the year from ebd to the next! All this we wish for you! Stop all wars – stop capitalism – increase love and tranquillity!

China has established a comprehensive support network to address the growing challenges faced by Chinese businesses expanding overseas, according to a press conference on Friday.

China: Network Established to Assist PRC Companies with Overseas Intellectual Property (IP) Disputes! (24.1.2026)

24/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

This is me being oppressed: “Dr Wyles, can you justify your continuous pro-China output?” Me: “Yes – if you’d like to check this reference and that reference you will find my work to be a fair appraisal of the existential situation.” Them: “Oh, sorry to have wasted your time, Dr Wyles, have a nice day!” Chinese people, however, are placed in darked or lightened rooms that are hot o cold – for days on end, and refused food and drink – whilst the Western authorities investigate whether they are “Communists” – or their parents are “Communist”. So what if they are? Indeed, every loyal PRC citizen should be a card-carrying “Communist” – and we in the West should celebrate this fact (we can compare cards). Besides, it is a fallacy to suggest that if Socialism ceases in China – anti-China racism will end throughout the world. The Soviets were told in 1991 that if only they give-up their collective resistance to US aggression and war-mongering – the West will greet them with open-arms. Just look where that has got the Russians and Ukrainians (not to mention Chechnya, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, etc). Whenever you meet an ethnic Chinese person please be aware that no matter what their personality represents in the world – first and foremost they will be a victim of White racism. Start from there – and try to perpetuate some type of random act of kindness to undue all this hatred. Perhaps with all these pebbles – an avamche of change will occur!

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Makes Speech at Inauguration Ceremony for First-Stage Modernization Project of Ryongsong Machine Complex

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un – Speech at Inauguration Ceremony for First-Stage Modernization Project of Ryongsong Machine Complex! (23.1.2026)

23/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Today the qualitative transformation of the machine-building industry, a basis for the development of the economy and progress of technology, has posed as a more urgent task. The remarkable trend of development and change, which the Ryongsong Machine Complex with the longest history and tradition started for its technological transformation aspiring after the modernization of the machine-building sector, can be called a stride ahead that instils confidence and encouragement in all of us including the relevant sectors.

But what I regard as a greater success is the following fact.

It is not merely that an enterprise has been modernized, but in the course of this, we have become better aware of our officials’ approach to the Party’s decisions and their present preparedness, and dealt a telling blow to the deeply-ingrained sense of irresponsibility and self-protectionism that hinder our advance and development.

This has reaffirmed which we should focus on and how we should solve them for our present and future work, and as such it is a success more meaningful than any economic achievements.

China: PRC Online Harassment Laws – Far More “Liberal” Than UK Labour Equivalent! (22.1.2026)

22/01/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Although the US-controlled Western internet is banned in China – some Chinese people still manage to access it – or they encounter it whilst travelling to the West. The point for the US is to uproot the collectivity of Chinese culture and Chinese Socialism – and replace it with a capitalistic (bourgeoise) individualism (and bring down the 1949 Revolution from within). By strengthening these laws in the PRC – any attempt by the US to access the Chinese internet hinterland has been severely dented and holed beneath the water-line. Draconian internet laws in the West ensure the continuance of predatory capitalism – whilst in China the equivalent defends and supports Socialism. Either way, an unregulated internet space is considered a danger to the smooth functioning of broader society – as one aspect is considered able to seep into the other and unduly influence it. Whatever the case, I enclose all the details for the general reader to make-up their own minds.
