Cheam: School Case Sparks Landmark Ruling on Disabled Pupils’ Rights! (23.8.2026)

I have added the single comment this article has a) attracted, and/or b) been filtered-out and included by the paper (who knows?). Although the readership does not possess all the details that the Tribunal considered – The Sutton Guardian thinks it is reasonable to include a comment from an obvious right-wing troll. Presumably the “presence” of a disabled child would be considered “disruptive” (regardless of disability or behaviour) – or perhaps the a “wheelchair” would be considered “disruptive” because able-bodied students have to “make adjustments” by walking around it? Or, the school needs to “ensure” that the alleyways and corridors are “wide-enough”? The far-right speculation is endless and it is interesting that Sutton Guardian feels the need to share it with the general readership.

UK: Jury Refuses to Convict Seven Palestine Action Activists Over Elbit Factory Raid! (21.8.2026)

The defendants were accused of assisting or encouraging an action at Elbit Systems’ Filton site in August 2024, during which activists allegedly destroyed equipment, including quadcopter drones.

The court heard none of the defendants were at Elbit during raid but were alleged to have helped to plan it, including by compiling an equipment list, reconnaissance, purchasing tools and weapons used by others, and co-ordinating the break-in and its filming.

Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest weapons company and has faced repeated protests and direct action from Palestine Action over its links to the Israeli military and the war in Gaza.

The Filton 25 are a group of 25 pro-Palestine activists, mainly associated with Palestine Action, who were arrested and prosecuted in connection with an action targeting Elbit Systems‘ weapons facility in Filton, near Bristol.

Four other Filton 25 defendants — Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Charlotte Head and Fatema Zainab Rajwani — were sentenced under terrorism legislation following convictions for criminal damage just days before the latest trial began.

Spectres of Marx - Jacques Derrida - Deconstruction

UK: Arday – Who Art in Heaven – Hallowed Be Thy Name! (21.8.2026)

I respect Dawn Butler, and have listened to her opinion over the years, but I was forwarded a video of a speech she made at a pro-Arday rally recently, where she firmly mounted the bandwagon and claimed that the act of “unmasking dishonesty” amounted to a “racist attack” – on the grounds that the right supported the exposure. Who cares what the right thinks? It is this kind of flawed logic that permits corruption to become normalised and whistle-blowers to live in fear. If this bourgeois game is all about “equality” – then surely “equality of accountability” is a part of this process? As you can see, the days of a united front between Black and non-Black people has not existed for sometime. Just as long as Black people align themselves with establishmentarian capitalism – then these sociological ruptures are bound to happen. There is no point digging the hole you fall into – and then blaming “Whitey” for inventing the shovel. You are being manipulated by a ruthless class-system. It is designed to make us hate and fight one another. Toughen-up, sort your life out, and get your mind straight.

HMS Blessing of Burntisland Sank 1633

UK: King Charles I – 1633 Wreck of Royal Ferry [Blessing of Burntisland] – Located on Sea-Bed! (21.8.2026)

A community heritage group believes it has located the wreck of the Blessing of Burntisland, a timber ferry that sank in Scotland nearly four centuries ago while carrying royal baggage and treasure across the Firth of Forth.

Burntisland Heritage Trust said that underwater surveys, physical exploration and the recovery of timber had identified a possible wreck-site about 1.5km from the Fife town of Burntisland, describing the evidence as “promising”.

The Blessing foundered in unexpectedly rough weather in July 1633, while sailing from Burntisland to Leith during the Stuart King Charles I’s Scottish coronation tour. Only two of the 35 passengers and crew onboard are believed to have survived.

The ferry was reportedly transporting royal possessions valued at about £100,000 at the time, including jewellery, textiles, coins and precious-metal plate.

Police Used to Direct Traffic at Cross-Roads Prior to Traffic-Lights

UK: How the Bourgeois State Uses “Suppression” to Control Society! (20.8.2026)

Herein lies the root contradiction that often leads to a profound shock with many workers suffering PTSD when encountering police officers. And this even before being handcuffed and locked in a cell is experienced. This experience is precisely how a Fascist State operates all the time. The liberals claim their version of society is superior to fascism – but it inflicts a fascist-type law enforcement upon its citizens. This is an interesting contradiction to consider. Liberal democracy possesses very little freedom to chose from in reality – and has the tendency to inflict a fascist-style suppression upon its own population. Should the workers group together and demonstrate solidarity in the face of police oppression – then the Bourgeois State will unleash the military. Whereas the police deprive an individual of freedom (and occasionally of life) – the military always deprives the individual of life. After-all, the bourgeoisie secured its political power by force of arms – and retains its power by force of arms.

Migrants - Do Not Have Sex With Children!

UK: Home Office Instructs Migrants Not to Mistreat Women – Not to Sexually Assault Partners – Not to Have Sex with Children! (20.8.2026)

Hong Kong had double-decker buses and you could tell the British had been there – although I was harassed by the police for being a European in a Chinese area (I went in 1999). Portugal had TV sets with no volume buttons – so that the government could turn the noise down at night. It was the poverty that I saw outside the tourist spots that effected me the most. Holland was perhaps the most laid-back and tolerant country I visited. Labour has no intention of removing the anti-union laws or stopping mass immigration. This leaflet smacks of desperation as Labour faces the threat of being voted-out and a far-right party taking its place. This leaflet is cosmetic. indeed, it comes across as farcical. The far-right portray the issue as the migrants committing crimes against the (White) British – but the migrants (or at least a certain strata of that population) commits crimes against other migrants – whilst crime is also committed against migrants by non-migrants. Migrants are also raped and robbed. It is the concept of the free movement of cheap labour over national borders that is causing all the problems. Now, Burnham has announced that there are “too many” White areas left outside of the major cities that he intends to fill-up with new arrivals. It is stupid statemets like this that leads to mass protests and lost elections.
