UK: Jury Refuses to Convict Seven Palestine Action Activists Over Elbit Factory Raid! (21.8.2026)

The defendants were accused of assisting or encouraging an action at Elbit Systems’ Filton site in August 2024, during which activists allegedly destroyed equipment, including quadcopter drones.

The court heard none of the defendants were at Elbit during raid but were alleged to have helped to plan it, including by compiling an equipment list, reconnaissance, purchasing tools and weapons used by others, and co-ordinating the break-in and its filming.

Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest weapons company and has faced repeated protests and direct action from Palestine Action over its links to the Israeli military and the war in Gaza.

The Filton 25 are a group of 25 pro-Palestine activists, mainly associated with Palestine Action, who were arrested and prosecuted in connection with an action targeting Elbit Systems‘ weapons facility in Filton, near Bristol.

Four other Filton 25 defendants — Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Charlotte Head and Fatema Zainab Rajwani — were sentenced under terrorism legislation following convictions for criminal damage just days before the latest trial began.

Spectres of Marx - Jacques Derrida - Deconstruction

UK: Arday – Who Art in Heaven – Hallowed Be Thy Name! (21.8.2026)

I respect Dawn Butler, and have listened to her opinion over the years, but I was forwarded a video of a speech she made at a pro-Arday rally recently, where she firmly mounted the bandwagon and claimed that the act of “unmasking dishonesty” amounted to a “racist attack” – on the grounds that the right supported the exposure. Who cares what the right thinks? It is this kind of flawed logic that permits corruption to become normalised and whistle-blowers to live in fear. If this bourgeois game is all about “equality” – then surely “equality of accountability” is a part of this process? As you can see, the days of a united front between Black and non-Black people has not existed for sometime. Just as long as Black people align themselves with establishmentarian capitalism – then these sociological ruptures are bound to happen. There is no point digging the hole you fall into – and then blaming “Whitey” for inventing the shovel. You are being manipulated by a ruthless class-system. It is designed to make us hate and fight one another. Toughen-up, sort your life out, and get your mind straight.

Police Used to Direct Traffic at Cross-Roads Prior to Traffic-Lights

UK: How the Bourgeois State Uses “Suppression” to Control Society! (20.8.2026)

Herein lies the root contradiction that often leads to a profound shock with many workers suffering PTSD when encountering police officers. And this even before being handcuffed and locked in a cell is experienced. This experience is precisely how a Fascist State operates all the time. The liberals claim their version of society is superior to fascism – but it inflicts a fascist-type law enforcement upon its citizens. This is an interesting contradiction to consider. Liberal democracy possesses very little freedom to chose from in reality – and has the tendency to inflict a fascist-style suppression upon its own population. Should the workers group together and demonstrate solidarity in the face of police oppression – then the Bourgeois State will unleash the military. Whereas the police deprive an individual of freedom (and occasionally of life) – the military always deprives the individual of life. After-all, the bourgeoisie secured its political power by force of arms – and retains its power by force of arms.

Migrants - Do Not Have Sex With Children!

UK: Home Office Instructs Migrants Not to Mistreat Women – Not to Sexually Assault Partners – Not to Have Sex with Children! (20.8.2026)

Hong Kong had double-decker buses and you could tell the British had been there – although I was harassed by the police for being a European in a Chinese area (I went in 1999). Portugal had TV sets with no volume buttons – so that the government could turn the noise down at night. It was the poverty that I saw outside the tourist spots that effected me the most. Holland was perhaps the most laid-back and tolerant country I visited. Labour has no intention of removing the anti-union laws or stopping mass immigration. This leaflet smacks of desperation as Labour faces the threat of being voted-out and a far-right party taking its place. This leaflet is cosmetic. indeed, it comes across as farcical. The far-right portray the issue as the migrants committing crimes against the (White) British – but the migrants (or at least a certain strata of that population) commits crimes against other migrants – whilst crime is also committed against migrants by non-migrants. Migrants are also raped and robbed. It is the concept of the free movement of cheap labour over national borders that is causing all the problems. Now, Burnham has announced that there are “too many” White areas left outside of the major cities that he intends to fill-up with new arrivals. It is stupid statemets like this that leads to mass protests and lost elections.

Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

DPRK: Comrade Kim Jong Un Receives Greetings from Palestinian President on 81st Liberation Anniversary! (17.8.2026)

You can see the issue. Most in the West do not understand the minutiae of what is happening in Palestine – and mistakenly believe their is a united front. As an aside, the only organisation that attempts a broad united front is the “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine” (PFLP) headquartered in Lebanon. Meanwhile, PA, whilst collaborating with Israel locally (a point that angers Hamas-supporters), backs the “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions” (BDS) campaign that seeks to economically isolate Israel by encouraging ordinary people in the West not to give their money to Israeli-supporting businesses. PA, therefore, the organisation that has praised North Korea below, advocate collaboration with Israel locally – whilst encouraging those living outside the Middle East to wage an economic war against Israel. Yes – PA complains continuously about the ill-treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the violent behaviour of Israeli-settlers – but does very little about it in practical terms.

VI Lenin - Working Class Science

China: College Students Successfully “Launch” Self-Developed Satellite into Orbit! (8.8.2026)

Socialist science is superior as it rejects the “inverted” bases of the bourgeois system – whilst dismantling the internal barriers that maintain racism, discrimination, and oppression. Lenin predicted that without much more effort other than simply re-orientating the creative powers inherent within the working-class – the Soviet Union would rapidly develop, catch-up with the West, and soon transcend its capitalist achievements. This is why Lenin advised that all men, women, and children should sit down in the kitchen, discuss ideas designed to make society better, and communicate these ideas to the Authorities. Working-class science emanates-out from below – originating from within the ranks of the proletariat (those who have nothing to sell but their labour – or bodily movement). Yes – workers can become “experts” in scientific endeavours – but they cannot exclude the lumpen proletariat from its creative process. Bourgeois academia, by way of contrast, is elitist and exists as an oppressive “top-down” process. By comparison, working-class science is “up-lifting” and “inspirational” – as can be seen from the contents of the below article!
