BMA-UK: Solidarity with Migrants – Explained! (23.1.2025)

When they arrived, nobody wanted to help. They had to walk the streets for two-days in the Oxford area until a Police Constable directed them to a local school. Here, they were given food and a bed on the floor of a school hall. Eventually, a local family let them live in a small cottage – where they slowly developed a new life. My grandfather joined the Royal Navy Patrol Service (RNPS) and fought in the North Atlantic fighting in-part alongside the USSR. My grand-uncle joined the Coldstream Guards and guard Buckingham Palace for a time. At the beginning, local Oxford people did not like the Cockney accents of my family – but they soon got use to it. My family eventually got jobs in the local area, joined Unions, and integrated into the local community. This is why I was born in Oxford. I am the product of displacement due to war – albeit within my own country. Today, the bourgeoisie loves to make international “war” as a business option that generates billions of dollars each year.

He repeatedly stressed the need for the Party and government organs in cities and counties to always pay close attention to providing conditions necessary for normalizing production at the regional-industry factories, including providing raw materials and training skilled workers, and unconditionally ensure the provision of the conditions so that the new regional development policy of our Party can make a substantial contribution to promoting the material well-being of the inhabitants in the relevant regions.

He affirmed that he would make this year a year of another upsurge in regional construction by setting a higher standard as a goal on the basis of last year’s successes and ensuring the economic profitability, effectiveness and prospectiveness to the maximum.

The inauguration ceremony of the regional-industry factories in Jaeryong County held in the presence of Kim Jong Un served as a significant occasion, which instilled confidence in sure victory and optimism into the people across the country, who have turned out as one in the drive to open up a new avenue for prosperity according to the viewpoint on development and in the spirit of creation of the Korean style and greet the Ninth Congress of the Party as a glorious congress of victors.

London: Broken Biscuits and Paternalistic Capitalism: Was the Bermondsey Biscuit Factory a Worker’s Paradise or is the Truth Less Sweet? (13.1.2025)

The first female clerks, responsible for typewriting invoices and the telephone exchange, were employed in 1885. The new hires may have been surprised to find the company brochure had a dedicated ladies’ section called ‘Matters Feminine’. However, the suffragettes would not have been too impressed with its content. Topics mainly included cooking, family and fashion.

‘It is all very well for a man to smile at the feminine love of clothes, and dismiss them as being of very little importance in life. Women know better. Husbands, who profess not to admire fashions, are not slow to complain at the dowdy appearance of their wives,’ read one passage.

In the following decades, many of the women employed found promotions were very much possible. Anne Edwards, who got a job as a clerical assistant in 1957, wrote: “Brilliant employers, they paid for me to attend Pitman’s College to extend my shorthand skills. They monitored my progress, my typewriting skills and promoted me from junior to manager’s secretary in the same department. I loved working there.”

UK: The Revolutionary Spirit of Blake’s 7! (7.1.2025)

07/01/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

I watched the BBC SciFi series entitled “Blake’s 7” when it was first broadcast between 1978-1981. Like many, I was sad when the series ended. It grew out of Dr Who (Terry Nation) and reflected a left-wing uprising against a right-wing Fascist State. The late 1970s was the last time a left-wing Labour Party was in power. The British workers united and rose-up to secure their rights with strikes, mass demonstrations, and marches. During the 1970s, and as a reaction to the left-leaning Hippy movement of the 1960s, The British “National Front” (NF) was on the march with its rampant message of misogyny, racism, and wanton violence. This led to the defeat of the workers at the ballot box (that’s liberal democracy for you) and the advent of the fascistic Margaret Thatcher – a working class Tory who had benefited from the free milk given to school children, free healthcare, free education, subsidised social housing, and welfare support, etc. During her ten-year tenure – Thatcher took all this away from the British people!

DPRK: Socialist Endeavour Constructs Excellent [Cement] Cargo Ships! (10.12.2024)

11/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The successes achieved by the workers in the field of marine transport in the drive to successfully conclude this significant year and greet the 11th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Party Central Committee with proud labour feats are an expression of boundless patriotism and loyalty of the people who regard the Party’s plan and intention as their sacred and honourable revolutionary tasks and devotedly struggle for carrying them out perfectly.

UK: New Transatlantic Tunnel – London-New York Travel Time Cut to 54 Minutes! (6.12.2024

06/12/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

While the Transatlantic Tunnel may be an ambitious, far-reaching concept that may never come to fruition in the near future, it sparks significant conversations about the future of international travel. It also pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved in transportation infrastructure, encouraging the exploration of innovative, futuristic ways to connect distant parts of the world. As the world continues to evolve and embrace new technologies, the dream of linking continents via tunnels may one day become a reality—changing the landscape of travel forever.
