Proletariat Blogging in the Heart of (UK) Predatory Capitalism! Exploring the Interface between Matter and Perception, Chinese Buddhism, Daoism, Hakka Ethnography, and All Aspects of Radical Politics, History, Psychology and Philosophy – 全世界无产者联合起来!
Every Monday evening at around 5 pm – and after a long day at school – Kai-Lin gets her sport gear on and heads out to train in Gymnastics at Wood Field School. Sundays are usually the only day Kai-Lin has a complete rest – but she was up at 7 am and loosening up for today’s challenge! The Judges ruled that over-all – the points Kai-Lin earned – secured a “Bronze Medal” in her group! Kai-Lin demonstrated that sheer will-power can prevail!
We join with the hundreds of thousands of free-thinking Chinese people in the UK (and throughout the world) that do not believe in Christianity, reject the Falun Gong Cult, reject the Pro-Tibetan Cult and are loyal to the UK, whilst accepting that the Chinese people in the PRC possess an absolute Right to pursue the ‘Socialist’ Path that over one-billion people have chosen! We support the right of the PRC to self-determinate – whilst fully rejecting any and all attempts of US and UK Neo-Imperialism to subject the minds and bodies of ethnic Chinese people to persecution, oppression and total indignity! The fan-base of Sutton Unite Football Club should understand how the Owners of the Club are misusing the Stadium their money pays for! Below is an email exchange between myself and a Representative of Sutton United and the so-called ‘Hong Kong Christian Church’ – make of it what you will – but always think for yourself!
As immense wealth was generated through the labour of the exploited masses (which involved the development of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade) a privileged middle-class developed – particularly after the English Civil Wars of the 1640s. This development saw the successful transference of the control of the ‘means of production’ (and political power) from the Aristocracy (the upper-class) to the Bourgeoisie (the middle-class) and with it the unleashing of tremendous creative force (a process magnified enormously by the ‘discovery’ of the Americas and the effective stealing of immense tracts of ‘free’ land and other resources)! Of course, the spread of British power and influence throughout other countries of the world – including Africa and Asia – opened all kinds of diverse markets which spread commodities to the four corners of the earth!
The memorial was unveiled on 16 March 1921 by Admiral Sir Arthur Henry Limpus KCMG, CB and dedicated by the Archdeacon of Kingston, Robert Charles Joynt.The carving and erection were carried out by a local mason Mr Snook of nearby Worcester Park. Among the dead commemorated on the memorial was Flight-Commander F A Brock (son of Brock of Brocks fireworks manufacturers) who invented the smoke screen. Following the Second World War, three names of those who lost their lives in that war were also added.
Since around 1539 CE (and Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries) this Church has been ‘Protestant’. This is a large Church built for a substantial Township and can probably hold at least 100 worshippers at any one time. Bear in mind that there used to be a greater number of Churches in the UK per small area than there are today – and that populations used to be far smaller despite virtually everyone professing a faith. Perhaps the ample and impressive size of the Church is linked to it serving a local population with a higher social status and wealth – requiring certain standards as being seen to be kept! As far as we are concerned, archaeological structures retain the data of the past, and by studying these structures we are able to glimpse into that past!
Obviously, ‘water’ is a very special and divine substance for the Christian religion as it washes away sins and through its purifying agency – allows the ‘Holy Spirit’ to enter the minds, hearts and bodies of those being baptised! This is why our family was very grateful for the care and attention we received – as we were the proverbial ‘weary traveller’ in need of sustenance! As our children habitually took to drawing a colouring in pictures (in the wonderfully equipped children’s section) – myself and Gee traversed the structure – recording in photograph and video all the data we could find!
