WWII Home Guard Emplacement - Waverly Abbey - Farnham

UK: WWII Home Guard Fort Revisit – Waverly Abbey – Farnham! (23.5.2026)

23/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Perhaps a platoon (30-men), or a “section” (10-men) would have manned this small fort. There was a small artillary gun at the front together with a machine-gun – whilst others defended the walls via “murder-holes” in the centre of the walls or high-up from the Parapet (Merlons) and Battlement. A team would man the front gun(s) – whilst the other soldiers would be positioned on the outside and inside of the “zig-zag” structure. The enemy would have to advance past Embrasures blasting with vicious fire-power. When entering the interior (over the dead bodies of the exterior guard) the enemy would be met with sharply changing brick structures all defended round blind-corners. The interior guard would fall back to the rear of the front-gun to make a final stand. The heavy guns would be destroyed to prevent capture. These young and old men (and some women) formed static infantry formations designed to stand their ground and buy time for the regular army to reach the location.

Tilford: A “Red-Week” in a Country Retreat! (22.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

It is a quaint area free off the stresses of the city – and a big sign reads “No Flags on the Exterior of the Building” – so in-doors it is! Even rebelling must be measured and inaccordance with circumstances. There is a nearby river and families of ducks wandering around. My Taijiquan practice will be particularly enhanced in this environment. Thank you to my mother – Diane Wyles! Gee has just driven to the next village to purchase some chips for our supper! We have basically infiltrated the conservative rump of the Home Counties. We are the enemy within – and the Reds Under the Beds – except we have paid to also lie in these beds. The capitalist railroaders are happy – so we let them continue to think that way.

UK: The Great Charlie Chuck! (22.5.2026)

22/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

When I was young, I worked in a number of factories and wore over-alls. We were all fully Unionised workers. The Social Clubs used to collect fees from its members (small weekly or monthly amounts) which were used to fund the two-week “Works’ Holiday” in August – usually paying fully for a break in a Holiday Camp (all-inclusive). Later, during the 1970s, the Unions (via Social Clubs) would fund flights to Spain (all-inclusive). If any government dared to take away the Welfare State, the NHS, or Social Services – the Unions would threaten to paralyse society through “all-out” General Strikes! Workers would even turn-off the electric to prove their point. All this was destroyed by Thatcher and all of the UK Social Clubs are now gone – with workers wallowing in self-pity and personal greed (open to manipulation by the far-right). How sad it all is. Still, Charlie Chuck has a “Zen-Like” quality about his prose – although many of my international readers may not understand his Northern-drawl.

CSA: Celebrating the Confederate 1862 “Liberation” of Maryland from Lincoln’s Tyranny! (19.5.2026)

19/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

I am blessed to have been born a free Englishman. British academics are the best in the world when not under duress from oppressive governments. I have piles of English books written fairly about the Confederacy – a movement I believe would have led to a “Socialist” North America if it ha prevailed. The CSA would now be supplying the Comrade-State of Cuba (instead of killing it through sanctions), rewarding a Socialist Cina, Vietnam, Laos, Venezuela and Iran – whilst blockading what is left of the Federal States for their greed and belligerence toward Socialist States. The Native Americans would have their own Independent country in what is now the Western United States – free of Eurocentric interference – whilst the State of Israel would be in a remote area of Brazil with “Zionism” being outlawed as a form of Jewish-derived “White Supremacy” (see the 1975 UN Resolution) and the subsequent ICC and ICJ Declamations regarding the Zionist Genocide in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. South Africa would be rewarded for holding Israel accountable for its Crimes Against Humanity and Trotskyism (as a right-wing attack on Marxist-Leninism) would be an imprisonable deviation. Thank you to the Confederate soldiers who gave their lives in pursuit of a higher freedom!

UK: Palestine Action Hunger Strikers Speak for First Time Since Being Granted Bail! (14.5.2026)

14/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The group included four activists who had participated in a hunger strike against the proscription of Palestine Action and their treatment in prison. They told a press conference in London that they were subjected to medical mistreatment while in prison and are exploring legal avenues for restitution.

Heba Muraisi, 31, said she had to use a pillowcase as a hijab during prayer, as the prison staff at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, where she was held, took away her keffiyeh and refused to replace it with a different hijab.

Muraisi, who spent 15 months in prison, during which she was on hunger strike for 73 days, also said her body was “exposed on the street in the presence of a man” during arrest, though she did not give details. When Muraisi was sent to hospital for refeeding, after 30 days of her hunger strike, she added, she was cuffed to a male guard.

“They tried to force me to change out my clothes, meaning I would have to strip while cuffed to a man, vulnerable and exposed, waiting for this male guard to hand me my clothes,” she said. “There was a second guard who was female, but she refused to swap places with him.”

Like other hunger strikers, Muraisi said that she was not given electrolytes — essential minerals that help muscles and nerves to work, which normally come from food — and that staff delayed granting her medical attention.

Far-Right Restore UK "Purge" Caravans from Roads!

Great Yarmouth: Robert Lowe Applauds “No Nonsense” Approach as Restore UK Council “Purges” Caravans within 7-Days of Taking-Office! (14.5.2026)

14/05/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

Why is there a lack of Council Housing? The reason is two-fold following the steady but relentless selling-off of all Council Housing stock into private ownership since 1979 – and the requirement (by Human Rights legislation) to house recently arriving migrants (illegal and legal) before established British people. Indeed, it is this latter policy which has led to a substantial working-class vote deserting the left and falling-in behind the more right-wing and far-right parties (the far-left is dead in the water in this respect – a victim of its own cyclic ideology). Although the Greens did well in the Norwich area in general – with Reform UK coming second – it was in Great Yrmouth that Restore UK won all nine available seats being contested (Robert Lowe was thrown-out of Reform UK for being “too far-right”). As Restore UK also won a seat on Norwich Council – as a party it won all ten-seats it was contesting. The far-right is a one-trick pony in that its policies are fuelled by short-term “hate” that only really work in knee-jerk reactions to perceived threats. As the supporters of the far-right are fickle – what seems like a problem today – might not be viewed as a problem tomorrow. This is why moving quick is important for the fascists and you cannot move any quicker than just seven-days after taking-power.
