St Michael's Cathedral was destroyed during the Coventry Blitz, in which 554 people were killed

UK: Coventry Cathedral – WWII Ruin – Reconstruction Drive! (30.9.2026)

My paternal grandmother – Gladys Wyles – would tell us stories about how she lived in Leicester during WWII. She remembered the bombing of nearby Coventry and how the Luftwaffe pilots came down on parachutes amongst the streets. Many were so polite and smart that the UK government permitted them to roam freely around the city carrying-out various aspects of rescue and reconstruction work. Many were glad to be out of the war – but considering how many British were killed in their bombing-raids – it is interesting that such POWs were not routinely attacked out of revenge. I have never visited Coventry.

Indigenous activist and elder Robbie Thorpe to bring a private prosecution against the monarch!

Australia: Bid to Prosecute King Charles [for “Genocide”] Reaches International Court! (30.9.2026)

The confusion probably arises from the fact that the English Parliament uses the non de plume “British Crown” to refer to itself – and uses a “crown” symbol to represent its power (believe it or not – the crown changes design – depending upon whether there is a king or queen on the thrown). In our election system, capitalism and liberal democracy (both invented by the bourgeoisie) cannot be voted out of office. Only the political parties “representing” and “managing” this bourgeois system can be “changed” by voting every four or five-years. Even if King Charles III was prosecuted – he is of German origin and his family was not on the throne when Australia was discovered. It is the permanent bourgeois institutions that are supported by the English Parliament – the Executive (which enforces laws), the Legislature (which makes laws), and the judiciary (which interprets laws) – and the English Parliament itself, that would probably need to be prosecuted. In other words, the national government of the UK administered from Westminster. In this regard, the responsible Prime Minister (which would be Frederick North – Lord North) would probably be the target of such a prosecution. As he has not been alive for hundreds of years – there may be a legal hurdle here that cannot be overcome.

Buddhapadipa Temple Wimbledon

UK: Visiting Buddhapadipa Temple on Kai-Lin’s 10th Birthday! (27.9.2026)

We travelled by car from Sutton to Wimbledon to visit what we know as the “Buddhapadia Temple” – a Thai Temple financed by the King of Thailand. This caters for the UK’s relatively small Thai population (and the Theravada School of Early Buddhism they follow) – and for other Asian and non-Asian populations that follow all types of different people. The Thais are fairly tolerant. Due to the lack of Buddhist Temples in the UK – Chinese people tend to visit this Thai Temple – as do we. Richard Hunn stayed in this temple studying meditation during the 1970s, and I think he returned their in the 1980s to make a documentary about the famous murals (I am not sure about the exact dates).

Double Star of David - British WWIi Vertex Watches!

UK: James Bond, Vertex & Zionist Symbols! (26.9.2026)

Why were British soldiers (not all White or European) were asked to risk their lives wearing this religious symbol (linked to Zionism)? I acknowledge that there were a number of Jewish British soldiers – and that they were free to do as they please – but what about the vast majority of the others? I personally do not want to wear any religious symbol going into battle. Vertex, of course, The Vertex Watch Company was founded in London in 1912 by Claude Lyons – who was Jewish – and started after he borrowed £1,000 from his father-in-law, Mr. Mayer. I am told that a number of Swiss watch companies today insert this symbol upon the innards of their watches – but never on the exterior – as it is thought this would adversely effect sales.

Deconstructing the Balathal “Samadhi” Skeletal Remains!

BMA (UK): India – Deconstructing the Balathal “Samadhi” Skeletal Remains! (21.9.2026)

Such hate-filled ignorance is the modus operandi of the Hindutva ideologue. Christianity was in India long before the British came. In Pakistan – formerly North India – the Muslims preserve a tomb said to be that of Jesus Christ (who supposedly lived-out his life in India following the survival of his crucifixion). Then there is the story of St Thomas who is believed to have been martyred whilst praying in a cave in Tamil Nadu. Even if neither of these stories are true – Christianity probably arrived in India long before it arrived in England. The Buddha, of course, was “Indian” and born a high caste Hindu (Kshatriya). Buddhists are reformed Hindus and were not foreign (or violent) invaders (Marx refers to Buddhists as practicing “rational Brahmanism”). Muslims did invade a “Buddhist” India, and did use violence against the Buddhists who refused to fight back. Only the followers of Brahma took to the field before being defeated. Yes – followers of Brahma still existed in Buddhist India – being a manifestation of Buddhist tolerance.

A view of Samarkand Olympiad 2026

Pakistan: Samarkand Chess Olympiad 2026 – Israel “Boycotted” in Favour of “Palestine Solidarity”! (19.9.2026)

I had know idea historical Samarkand is now situated in the modern Nation State of Uzbekistan (a former Soviet Republic) an Islamic country. When the US and UK invaded Revolutionary Russia between 1918-1921 – the (58,000) British Army tended to manoeuvre around this general geographical area (the British committed an atrocity in Baku – Azerbaijan – by murdering unarmed Soviet POWs). So ashamed was the British Nation after this shameful event – no regiment in the British Army claim these actions as “battle honours”. The US tried to extend WWI to happening between 1914-1921 (these dates actually appear on some plaques) – but Great Britain refused this designation and limited WWI to “1914-1918” (although occasionally a plaque will read “1914-1919”) when the Soviet Red Army prevailed (the formation of the USSR was established in late 1922). Now, I know people from Pakistan sometimes access this blog – so I have added a few “Urdu” texts with English translation. Never stop learning.
