The Toll of Innocence: Child Fatalities in the Shadow of Conflict – A Tribute to my marvellous Welsh Grans

Sir Afilonius Rex and Good Strat Contributors

Madrid, Sunday 11 January 2026

NB Our service provider OpenAI could not process our prompt due to a moderation system. We have been asked to rephrase it, changing potentially problematic words, and try again. This is censorship at its crudest. They can of course go **** themselves.

My Gran had a stock response to expressions of racism, prejudice, and xenophobia in her presence. It was invariably, “We are all God’s children.” She loved all children, everywhere.

Let’s switch focus.

The Israel-Palestinian strife is unrelenting. It has now dragged into its third sinful, evil and merciless year. The true measure of this catastrophe is not land seized. It is not the strategies pursued. It is the stolen futures of innocent children. These are not mere statistics; they are lives extinguished, dreams crushed, families shattered forever. We face the human abyss of global crises. The cold data from UN agencies demands our moral outrage. It calls for urgent action.

In my opinion, Brexit, any Brexit, could spell economic, political and social disaster for the UK. Brexit could ensure the demise of the Good Friday Agreement, with seriously damaging consequences. It could see the independence of Scotland – not necessarily a bad thing for Scotland, but yet another unintended consequence of Brexit. And, it could significantly deteriorate the rights and conditions of workers in the UK.

So, I wish to put a Brexit question to Jeremy Corbyn.

Will the working people in the UK be better off if the UK leaves the European Union?

When you offer people all of the benefits of the single market and the customs union, but without any of the EU bureaucracy, constraints and costs, what happens?

We ran an experimental consultation last year in the UK just to demonstrate what happens when bat-shit-crazy mad-cow Britain has a chance to throw a spanner in the works. Some people will inevitably believe the boloney whilst others will use it as a mere tool in a simple-minded and obtuse attempt to rationalise their own irrationality and misanthropy. Nobody can throw a spanner in the works quite like the Brits.

What will the UK look like ‘post-Brexit?

Will Brexit result, as I read on Twitter, in the UK “taking back what we never lost to lose everything we currently have.”?

My concern is about what could happen to the people in the UK when we have finally run-away from Europe.

With Brussels gone, with the EU and the Single Market gone, with our EU citizenship ripped from our cold dead hands, who will Brexiteers have to complain about once we have become an isolated, tiny and populous ex-colonialist island to the east of New Jersey?
