Lest We Forget!

UK: Remembering the 1917 Russian Socialist Revolution & Supporting Venezuela! (8.9.2025)

Even after taking into account all the anti-worker policies perpetuated by the bourgeoisie – I have got to say that many in this new generation are nothing but selfish, self-hating, pampered, and self-indulgent scum. Yes – the scum of the earth – but without the balls ever to do anything to rectify the mess they represent. There is no equivalent of the French Foreign Legion for these deficients – because its “foreign” – and they do not like foreign things. This degenerate scum could not discipline themselves even if their lives depended upon it. There’s no point conscripting these morons as they would weaken any national army. These degenerates would simply look messy when they fall down in a disorganised heap – blaming everyone else for the problems they themselves are creating.

Labour Government Betrays Fire Brigade Union!

London: Labour “Austerity” Cuts Betray Fire Brigade – as 1 in 5 Fire Engines Unavailable! (8.11.2025)

Jon Lambe, Fire Brigades Union regional secretary for London said:

“Senior leaders of the London Fire Brigade cannot claim to be keeping Londoners safe while 30 fire engines are unavailable due to cuts to firefighter crews. The service is operating beyond safe limits, overstretched and severely under-resourced.

“On Bonfire night this week, the service took over 800 calls in London. Yet we have fewer firefighters and resources to respond to increasing incidents due to years of cuts.

“We’re seeing millions borrowed for property while frontline equipment is facing being written off. This false economy will put the people of London at greater risk.”

Tianwen-1's high-resolution camera,

China: Tianwen-1 Mars Orbiter Captures Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS! (7.11.2025)

It is thought to have formed around ancient stars near the centre of the Milky Way and may be older than the solar system itself, offering rare insight into the composition and evolution of exoplanetary material.

The Tianwen-1 team began preparing for the observation in early September this year. With ATLAS moving at about 58 kilometres per second and appearing 10,000 to 100,000 times dimmer than the Martian surface, the mission faced an extreme technical challenge in image targeting and stability.

Originally designed for Mars surface observation, Tianwen-1 has been orbiting the planet since February 2021.

The successful observation of ATLAS marks an extension of the probe’s mission, serving as a test for China’s upcoming Tianwen-2 asteroid mission.

South Africa: G20 Report Warning of Global Inequality Crisis Unveiled! (6.11.2025)

Drawing on data from the World Inequality Lab, the analysis showed that the world’s richest one percent have increased their average wealth by 1.3 million U.S. dollars since 2000, while the poorest 50 percent gained only 585 U.S. dollars, adjusted for inflation. Though income gaps between individuals have narrowed largely due to growth in China, the wealth divide between the Global North and South remains substantial.

“The world understands that we have a climate emergency; it is time we recognized that we face an inequality emergency too,” said Stiglitz, who chaired the six-member committee behind the report.

Much of the wealth at the top stems from “monopoly power and exploitation,” he said, adding that inequality is “not the laws of nature, but the laws of man.”
