Surrey: Mobile Workmen’s Home! (29.5.2026)

29/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

This seems to be an early caravan – although much larger – affixed upon an army carriage dating back to WWI (although the Beatles were playing on the interior radio when we visited). I thought it might have travelled on rails – and think it could travel on a number of different surfaces (the wheels look rail-based – but I might be wrong). Basically, workmen tasked with building or clearing, etc, in remote areas – could live in these types of devices for extended periods – between shifts. This was when labour Unions ruled the roost and this type of relative luxury was demanded! I suspect for many workers this temporary accommodation might be better than the places they actually lived in! It reminded me of the carriage Lenin spoke from when he declared the end of capitalist exploitation in 1917! A left-leaning Labour government improved the lives of millions in 1948!

Surrey: Visiting Farnham Museum! (27.5.2026)

These former workers adopted the mannerisms, culture, and dress of their social betters (the “aristocracy”) and were even able to “purchase” an education for their children. This new bourgeoisie (the “Merchants”) were even able to stand for election in Parliament. After purchasing weapons and raising armies – the bourgeoisie eventually seized control of the means of production (following the English Civil Wars). They now comprise one of the most conservative strands in UK society – and certainly maintain this air of elitism in Farnham. A local book-dealer even tried to sell me Das Kapital Vols I, II, & III (printed in the USSR in hardback) for £100 – claiming they were “rare”. In fact, a full set is usually four volumes and I often find them on the bottom shelves of old book-shops – usually attracting dust – as no one cares for their content. I do collect them and usually spend around £5 per copy. Imagine that – a bookseller in Farnham attempted to reduce Marx’s critique of capitalism to yet another vehicle of that capitalism! But that is the way capitalism works and is exactly how Farnham has attracted its wealth and conservativism. Florence Nightingale gets a mention – Gee trained as a Midwife at St Thomas Hospital (London) – which maintains a Museum recording the life of Florence Nightingale. Indeed, Gee is designated as a “Florence Nightingale Midwife”.

USSR: Joseph Stalin’s Association with Islam! (25.5.2026)

25/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Whatever the case, children tend to over-simplify the behaviour of their parents – not yet mature enough to understand life and what it does to an individual. To this distorting effect can be added all the lies and disinformation that have been poured upon Stalin. Even when Joseph McCabe wrote his excellent biography of Stalin in 1944 – there had been at least twenty-years of misrepresentation. From this book we learn that his mother was a strict Orthodox Christian (this is never said about his father) and that it is through her influence that Stalin was forced into education and learned to read and write. At fourteen-years of age, his mother enrolled Stalin in a local Seminary School with the intention of him becoming an Orthodox Priest (she had already named him after “St Joseph”). Ironically, it was amongst the students at this ecclesiastic school that he first encountered Marxism as a theory. Stalin entered Seminary at aged fourteen in 1894 – and was expelled in 1899.

Zionists Murder Gazans During "Ceasefire"!

Human Rights Watch: Israel Prevented Aid – and Deliberately Killed 856 Civilians During “Ceasefire” in Gaza! (24.5.2026)

Human Rights Watch explained that the Board of Peace, authorized under UN Security Council Resolution 2803, is tasked with assessing parties’ compliance with the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict. It stressed that rapidly expanding and safeguarding aid is central to the plan, alongside restoring essential civilian infrastructure. The organization added that aid volumes remain far below required levels and critical humanitarian access routes have been repeatedly obstructed, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Tilford: A “Red-Week” in a Country Retreat! (22.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

It is a quaint area free off the stresses of the city – and a big sign reads “No Flags on the Exterior of the Building” – so in-doors it is! Even rebelling must be measured and inaccordance with circumstances. There is a nearby river and families of ducks wandering around. My Taijiquan practice will be particularly enhanced in this environment. Thank you to my mother – Diane Wyles! Gee has just driven to the next village to purchase some chips for our supper! We have basically infiltrated the conservative rump of the Home Counties. We are the enemy within – and the Reds Under the Beds – except we have paid to also lie in these beds. The capitalist railroaders are happy – so we let them continue to think that way.
