A Local Park in Gander Green Lane!

UK: Late-September – Time to go “Conkering”! (3.10.2026)

Two people would face-off in a Conkering Competition – with one holding their stringed conquer “still” – whilst the opponent “swung” their stringed conquer at it with as much force as they could muster. The impact would either do nothing – damage and/or smash the conker. The swing could also miss. I seem to remember the one strike each – or agreed number of strikes – often three-swings each. Today, children still marvel at the dropping of horse-chestnuts – but do not really know what to do with them. Kai-Lin, my ten-year old daughter, has gathered-up about 20 conkers from the local park. It seems that local schools banned Conkering due to injuries being sustained by participants and those watching. Although not officially banned – this draconian approach amounted to much the same effect.

Christa Pike Survives "2" Attempts to Execute Her!

US: Christa Pike “Survives” Two Attempts to Execute Her! (2.10.2026)

Of course, the UK abolished hanging in the 1960s after a number of highly publicised miscarriages of justice and a growing public resistance to the practice. Today, only lunatics, fascists, and reprobates would ever consider surrendering the individual power to prevent executions – and give that power back to an uncaring State. Having said that, the various regimes that occupied the British Isles over the last 2000-years or more – did carry-out the arbitrary killing of individuals for all kinds of spurious reasons – the Christian Church being one of the greatest killers. Midwives were routinely executed by the Church for daring to care for pregnant women. Indeed, although the UK still possesses Midwives – the US effectively banned this profession due to its association with Witchcraft. How cool is that? Perhaps the final irony is that after the British traitors assumed control of the colonies the UK had established in the Americas – their first act was to abolish the death penalty because it was a remnant of the old Europe the British traitors had abandoned. That and the fact that these scandrals knew that if England ever assumed control of the colonies again – Washington, Jefferson, and all the rest – would probably end-up dangling from ropes after ten-minute trials for “Treason”.

Extremist Religious Converts Declare Rock Noah's Ark!

Hong Kong: Noah’s Ark Found – Claims Christian Group! (25.9.2026)

The irony (and injustice) is that the Constitution of China guarantees a belief (and disbelief) in religion – and facilitates genuine religious practice (including Christianity) to a far greater degree than the secular UK. The South China Morning Post travelled to Sutton and wrote an article following the migration path of one such rioting family who was given a “free” three-bedroomed house, car, job, healthcare, and schooling in the exclusive area of nearby Banstead – undermining the UK-Tory claims that this was not happening. Furthermore, as this Indian newspaper reports, lunatic evangelical Christians a) still exist in Hong Kong, and b) possess a full freedom to express their fanatical and ridiculous ideas unopposed. Their latest stupidity involves the misidentification of a natural rock formation in Turkey as being “Noah’s Ark” – a lie which even credits the pseudo-history of the Old Testament to be literally “true” (with Zionist undertones) – when such stories are religious myths used to control subjugated populations. Of course, these individuals have a right to hold their belief – just as I have the right to disagree. If you objectively research the religiously-based Noah’s Ark claims – you will find none of them are literally (objectively) true.

China: Boost to Psychological Protection of Children in Difficulty! (24.9.2026)

Beyond strengthening existing programmes, new services, including care programmes for children with autism and assessments of family guardianship arrangements, will be established with stepped-up efforts, Hu said.

He also highlighted the primary-level role in child protection. China currently has about 42,000 “child supervisors” at the township and subdistrict levels and 550,000 “child directors” and workers at the village and community levels.

Hu described them as “strong guardians” of children in difficult circumstances and said their training would be expanded to include mental health screening, safety risk assessments, mandatory reporting and home visits as required components, strengthening their ability to identify and respond to risks facing children.

Hindu Balathal (2006) Page 61

UK: Email – What Do I Think About the Balathal Skeleton? (22.9.2026)

Although 700 BCE is touted around the internet – the remains could be as late as the 4th century CE (well within the date for Yoga). The site is not Indian – the skeleton is Indian. My own view is that if this is a holy man – we are probably talking about the disciples of the Buddha who dwelled at the base of trees – a “root-dweller” no-less. Of course, this is just speculation on my part and I am running with the “meditating in isolation” angle. There is absolutely no evidence for the “holy man” interpretation except for the conveniently positioned hands and fingers (the academic authors of the second paper go out of their way to insert an elaborate Hindu origin for this). This seems unprofessional to me. There is no surrounding (qualifying) evidence for the holy man hypothesis. What should usually happen is that a note would be added that draws the reader’s attention to the fact that these remains, when viewed in a certain light, possess a passing similarity to certain well-known religious postures found within the practices of a number of religious and spiritual paths. Whatever the case, more evidence is needed and none has been forthcoming (these are not “new” digs).

For the new academic year, he called for stronger measures to address teacher shortages, reduce dropout rates, improve vocational and higher education enrolment, and enhance teaching quality through modern techniques and technology.

The Prime Minister urged teachers to uphold professional ethics and continuously improve teaching methods, while encouraging parents to ensure their children remain in school through at least compulsory lower-secondary education.
