Northants: Kirby Hall – [1570] Elizabethan Home of Nobility! (1.8.2025)

01/08/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

This building reminded us in structure of Hampton Court (not far from where we live in London) – and Berry Pomeroy in Totnes, South Devon (not far from where my parents live). This is not surprising, as I believe from reading the available “English Heritage” literature that the same architects and engineers were used by the Court of Queen Elizabeth I and the nobility that served her. The front of the Hall faces North – with the back of house facing South (built on a North-South orientation). Local serfs (landless or homeless peasants) and peasants (land-occupying peasants) were employed by the nobility when large-scale building projects were initiated. Indeed, with the development of Guilds (primitive unions) – certain groups of peasants became highly skilled in specific construction and maintenance skills. Whether any such labour was employed from nearly Kirby Village, (situated to the South-West of what became the ornate rear garden of the complex), is open to debate.

UK: The Early 1980s Were Great Days – I Worked at the Interpet (Dorking Town) & the RNIB Tape-Recorder (Wallington) Factories! (15.7.2025)

Nowadays, of course, everybody and their cat listens to audiobooks – but this was certainly not the case then – or for many years afterwards (apps have replace all this industry and mechanisation). This all came about due to the system of free universal education the UK had then (Thatcher abolished it in 1988 if you remember). I spent a year or so at a College in the Reigate and Redhill area between 1983-1984 – before relocating to Hereford (all free at the point of us and paid for via collective taxation). In the Wallington factory I was put to work on the assembly line with the man sat to my left explaining my job. He had managed to come through the UK education system and remain totally illiterate (which is a remarkable feat considering the high calibre of State and Private (Public) education in the area – although neuro-diversity was not recognised at the time) – but to his credit he liked Bob Marley (this was interesting as he was White).

China: From Peasant Uprising to Industrial Revolution – Hero’s Hometown Revived! (15.7.2025)

15/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

GUANGZHOU, July 14 (Xinhua) — When tourists arrive at Shanwei, a coastal city in south China’s Guangdong Province, they quickly notice that red is everywhere.

In what is known as the city’s red block, the upper facades of street-side shops selling fish maw, eyeglasses and savory Chinese pancakes are painted in red, accented with touches of yellow — echoing the colors of the flag of the Communist Party of China.

Shanwei is a famous “red land.” It is the birthplace of China’s first Soviet government, the Hai-lu-feng Soviet, established in 1927, and also the hometown of Peng Pai, a Communist hero who led the founding of the government, hailed by Mao Zedong as the “king of peasant uprisings.”

York Watergate - 1626 - Victoria Embankment!

UK: Beautiful London – the York Watergate Our Children Have Played Around! (7.7.2025)

07/07/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The gate was originally the private riverside entrance to York House, a grand 17th-century mansion owned by the Duke of Buckingham. Think of it as a luxurious mooring point at the bottom of the duke’s garden.

York House itself stood on the Strand, which name literally means ‘shore of the river,’ and was considered one of the finest residences in London. At the time, much of the south side of the Strand was lined with palaces boasting direct access to the Thames.

That all changed with the construction of the Thames Embankment between 1864 and 1870, led by visionary engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette. The massive project reclaimed land from the river and shifted the shoreline dramatically forward.

You can find a memorial honouring Sir Joseph Bazalgette just a couple of minutes away from Embankment Gardens, by the Thames. He designed the Victoria, Albert and Chelsea Embankments, reclaiming a strip of land in front of Somerset House and York Watergate.

The Watergate was almost lost during this transformation – plans were even drawn up to move it to nearby Whitehall Gardens. But in the end, it was simply abandoned where it stood, left behind as a relic of a river that had retreated.

DPRK: Speech By Kim Jong Un at Launch of Magnificent KPA Naval – Choe Hyon-Class Destroyer No. 2 – “Kang Kon”! (15.6.2025)

Saying that we can step up the revolution in the warship-building industry in earnest at present as we have a strong will and have secured our own reliable forces and great technical power to guarantee it practically, he clarified the defence strategy of our Party and practical measures for the rapid strengthening of the naval forces, including the building of two destroyers, which are of or above the Choe Hyon class, and the deployment of them in operational waters every year from next year according to the constant view of our Navy that aggression can be prevented when it has the counterattack strength and capability.

US: Mexican Flags Fly in Defiance of Trump Fascism! (12.6.2025)

12/06/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Incidentally, at that time, the State of New England “protested” about this US invasion of Mexico – referring to it as “un-American” on the grounds that the war with England was supposed to have put an end to this type of blatant imperialist activity. The people of New England threatened to “Secede” from the Union (as was their right) if the US moved forward with this plan. The situation was defused by President Polk – who guaranteed NOT to use any military force (amateur or professional) originating within New England – or comprised of New England men (if recruited outside of New England). This agreement prevented New England from “Seceding” – and effectively rendered that State “neutral” for the duration of hostilities.
