The u.s. seem inclined to police u.n. orders, seemingly relating to breaches of human rights, being the perceived dominant party with regard to the sanctioning of various countries, the latest being China.

The u.n. reportedly collaborate with interpol, both of whom seemingly are rarely questioned.

A recent news item reported that the as called Child and Family Agency made an application to extend a care order for a pre-school child whose mother, the agency told the court was living in a tent somewhere and unable to be contacted. The judge seemngly accepted this and agreed to extend the order without the mother’s knowledge.

Interim care orders are believed to be linked to poor school attendance, perceived lack of engagement and parent’s drug addiction nevertheless ignoring the parent’s problems or lack of parental involvement could unsubstantiate any help given or make matters worse.

Bobby Sands was reportedly elected to parliament whilst in jail. He was a writer and wrote, One day in my life, an autobiography whilst in her majesty’s prison Maze. According to media reports he died of hunger. The prisoners’ adamance, the guilty ones, that they were political prisoners was the cause of much acrimony from the British establishment. Some beliefs are the prisoners were not given clean food, which they refused to eat. There have been other reports that the mod may have been involved in abuse specifically designed to retrograde prisoners physically and emotionally.

Rudyard Kipling, author of the Junglebook and the famous poem ‘If’ amongst many poems and some short stories was reportedly the poster boy for the British empire. Thought by some to be extreme, and admired by others, he was said to have been criticised by George Orwell of Nineteen Eighty-Four fame.

He was born in Bombay, India in 1865 to Alice and John Lockwood Kipling. Colonial Britain at the time was believed to have consisted of 13 million square miles of foreign territory, subjucating an estimated 400 million people. Kipling was said to have believed in the absolute invincibility of the British empire. His son was reportedly accepted for the Irish guards at a young age. Kipling’s wife was Carrie Star Belestaire. According to a report their only son John went missing in 1915. Kipling reportedly interviewed soldiers from John’s 2nd battalion of Irish guards who said he died during the battle of Loos in France in 1915 but reportedly their stories didn’t tally. A former report believed John to have died in the Anglo-Irish war which ran concurrent to the first world war, beginning with an uprising in easter 1916. Among Kipling’s many poems there was one entitled, Epitaphs of war, with the line, If any question why he died tell them because our fathers lied.

July 1 2020 was the 23rd anniversary of Britain handing Hong Kong back to China who reportedly took charge on the evening of June 30. Ten people have been arrested amid protests and a further 360 or so according to recent news who are suspected of previous offences. Political groups are said to be disbanding, activists are believed to be fleeing overseas and posters supporting the protests have been ripped down. Issues are said to be the pro-democracy movement and threats to national security such as collusion. The western emphasis on China’s ethics even though they were victims of colonialism and exploitation is believed to be focused on opposition to the secret police, said to be feared.

Prior to his Death, Bishop Tutu spoke via a newspaper item about African aid which he said consisted mainly of rice. According to the report, Africans receiving aid were suffering from protein deficiency which stopped them recovering sufficiently enough to regain their independence. According to more recent data, water is even more of a concern, being necessary for the growing of crops. Charities rarely focus on water even so, and without explanation. There have been reports that major water sources have been targeted for political reasons, leaving Africans dependent on western contingents for survival. This could conceivably mean that any objections to western plans such as the selling of local oil sources are kept to a minimum, likewise, complaints about previous theft and exploitation. Some believe the African contingent who are part of the u.n. force in Mali are an example of this. Western contingents tend to blame any conflicts on extremism but there is thought to be oil in the border region, the real reason for their presence.

Reportedly Donald Trump has withdrawn the United States from the as called World Health Organisation (WHO). His political opponent Joe Biden says if he wins the presidency he will adhere to world health organisation rules. Biden’s involvement in a company selling Iraqi oil is thought to be a good reason to elect the next president according to ethical guidelines. It seems unlikely that making money from Iraqi oil will be viewed in a positive light in view of exploitation and the deaths in the middle east.

Reportedly, the last two decades of claims of physical and sexual abuse within the Catholic church has resulted in a change of leadership. This has resulted in Bishops being subject to an as described distinguished royal commissioned, newly formed council who are also involved in the appointment of new bishops and seemingly oversee bishops’ meetings, some of which have been critical of the crown. Many members of the laity have reportedly been appointed to senior posts under the heading of tackling gender inequality, and in view of perceived failures in reporting abuse, which is hard to prove. According to various reports the church has previously dealt with it by moving priests around.

On a grass roots level, a change apparent have been the formation of as called spiritual counsellors. In this arena friendships are designated and friendships are broken. Thought to be politicised. The as called papal nuncio, seemingly a representative of the holy See, the central government of the Catholic church, is seemingly now accountable to various people appointed to oversee, paying particular attention to new appointments. On a local level, newly appointed priests and laity sit on various governing bodies such as local family resource centres. Results in discrimination.
