UK: Waitrose & Tom Boyd – A Working Example of Disability, Discrimination & the “Invalidation of the Worker”! (23.10.2025)

In a post on Facebook, she wrote: “Our hearts are broken and we need to share this..

“Our autistic son has been treated so unfairly, and we feel deeply let down.

“For over four years, he’s been doing work experience at Waitrose and Partners store in Cheadle Hulme.

“Every week, for two full mornings, he worked so hard – emptying four or more cages of stock, stacking shelves, and helping wherever he could.

“He loved it there. The shop staff were absolutely amazing with him and made him feel part of the team.

“Many of them would say things like, “You work harder than some people who are paid to work here.

“He gave over 600 hours of his time – purely because he wanted to belong, contribute, and make a difference.

“When we asked if there was any chance he could be offered just a few paid hours – not as charity, but as recognition for all the time, effort, and heart he’s given – we were shocked by how dismissive and cold the response was.

“The manager said, “We can’t just let him do his thing,” when that’s exactly what he’s been doing successfully for years.”

She continued: “After everything he’s done, there was no apology, no thanks, and no recognition for his commitment. Just silence.

Medical Internationalism Exercised By PRC!

Ethiopia: China Donates Medical Supplies to Ethiopia-China Friendship Hospital! (4.6.2025)

Liu Junying, head of the 25th batch of the Chinese medical team, said his team, which began work at Tirunesh-Beijing Hospital in May 2024, has been delivering medical services to Ethiopian communities as part of the long-standing Sino-Ethiopian health cooperation. He further reiterated China’s commitment to sending successive medical teams to provide healthcare for Ethiopians in need, while also sharing expertise with local medical professionals. The newly dispatched 26th Chinese medical team, consisting of 16 specialists across various fields, continues China’s medical mission to Ethiopia, which has been serving the local population since the 1970s.

NHS For Sale!

Consequence of Voting Labour: Wes Streeting to Axe Thousands of Jobs at NHS England After Ousting of Chief Executive! (26.2.2025)

Only the rich will receive treatment – whilst the enriched health professionals who allow this – should be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity. Make no mistake about it, whilst NHS staff are imprisoned due to the effect of the cuts – the Labour government is deliberately and systematically destroying what is left of the NHS – at a time when Australia has refused to follow the UK path of subordination to US dictates! Whatever the case, the Western bourgeoisie at the moment, is in total disarray – as the fascist Trump stampedes around the political landscape – sharing metaphorical cigarettes with Kim Jong Un – as they both lean against a wall nervously awaiting the outcome of an important UN vote! China opposed the UN condemning of Russia for its self-defence fight against Neo-Nazi Ukraine – whilst Starmer’s New Labour voted “for”! The UN has never once condemned Israel for its “aggression” in Gaza – regardless of the body-count!

Sheep Are Generally "Apolitical"!

FBI: Surname “Crooks” NOT Related to Habitual Crime! (14.7.2024)

FBI Files report that the surname ‘Crooks’ is an ancient English surname relating to an individual who specialises in the care of adult sheep or juvenal lambs. As a surname, it is related to the surnames ‘Shepperd’ and ‘Lambert’ – with ‘Crooks’ referring to a six-foot wooden staff that possess a ‘hook’ (or ‘crook’) at one-end – used to ‘envelop’ the neck-area of a sheep or lamb – ‘at a distance’. This piece of pre-modern technology allows for troublesome and quick-footed sheep and lambs that need to be captured and brought near to their human carer. 

CPC Sanctions - 2024

China: Five US Defense Industry Companies Sanctioned! (7.1.2024)

The countermeasures consist of freezing the properties of those companies in China, including their movable and immovable property, and prohibiting organizations and individuals in China from transactions and cooperation with them, the spokesperson said.

“I would like to stress that the Chinese government remains unwavering in our resolve to safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity and protect the lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies and citizens,” said the spokesperson.

China urges the United States to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, observe international law and the basic norms governing international relations, stop arming Taiwan, and stop targeting China with illegal unilateral sanctions, the spokesperson said, noting that “otherwise there will be strong and resolute response from China.”

Remembrance Sunday: Wearing My Veterans’ Tie! (12.11.2023)

There was a huge Pro-Palestinian March in London yesterday – despite the US, UK and EU (Bourgeois) media trumpeting the Israeli (Zionist) cause! The UN was correct in 1975 to declare ‘Zionism’ a form of Jewish ‘White Supremacy’ that discriminates against all non-Jews, Jews who disagree with its fascism and ALL non-White people regardless of origination or political and religious outlook. Indeed, some of the most well-attended (protest) Marches we have attended in the past have been in support of Palestine – when the British media has been looping pro-Zionist propaganda around the clock! NO – freedom from fascism is a Universal Human Right for which we all must fight!
