Biography: This site, Sahara Supposition, is mainly a political site but it is also an interesting information data bank. The subject here, Jimmy Somerville, has been chosen not only because of his political views but because of his success with Bronski Beat and the Communards. Not forgetting one of his greatest songs, Don't Leave Me This Way, which you can listen to here.

For Jimmy Somerville and many other young left-wing idealists, the mid-eighties was a nasty and bitter time in Thatcher's Britain. Prime Minister Margaret Hilda Thatcher, a right-wing realist, and the unions were going head to head over her resolve to take apart worker's collective right to an unofficial strike.

The Communards - The Paris Commune was a brief socialist, reformist state in Paris from March 26 to May 30, 1871.

The Communards

Paris Commune

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Paris Commune was a brief socialist, reformist state in Paris from March 26 to May 30, 1871.
The Franco-Prussian War ended with French defeat. The Prussians included the occupation of Paris in the peace terms. The city and its National Guard had withstood the Prussian troops for six months. The population of Paris was defiant in the face of occupation—they limited the Prussian presence to a small area of the city and policed the 'boundary'. The French government of the Third Republic, headed by Louis-Adolphe Thiers, was concerned that the workers would arm themselves from the National Guard weapons and provoke the Prussians, so on March 18 French troops entered Paris to seize arms within the city. The National Guard refused to give up the weapons and the French government fled from the city to Versailles and declared war on Paris.
On March 26, a new municipal council of 81 was elected with Louis-Auguste Blanqui as president, and the Paris Commune was proclaimed on the 28th, although local districts often retained the organizations from the siege. They ended conscription and replaced the standing army with a National Guard of all citizens who could bear arms. The Commune also put a moratorium on unpaid war-time rents and stopped pawnshops from selling goods, as they were concerned that skilled workers had been forced to pawn their tools during the war. They separated the church from the state and made all church property state property, excluded religion from schools, postponed debt obligations, and abolished interest on the debts.
The Commune was assaulted from April 2 by the government forces of the Versailles Army, and the city was constantly bombarded. All captured Communards were shot, against what is now known as the Communards' Wall in the Père Lachaise cemetery. The government advantage was such that from mid-April on they refused to negotiate. The city wall was reached and breached in the west by May 21. The toughest resistance came in the more working-class districts of the east, where fighting continued for a further eight days of vicious street fighting (La Semaine Sanglante, the bloody week), before the final defeats in Belleville and Menilmontant. The government troops were culpable in the slaughter of unarmed citizens. Thirty thousand are believed to have died. Of the more than 30 000 more who were arrested, many were shot and 7 000 were exiled to New Caledonia. Few Communards escaped, mainly through the Prussian lines to the north. Government losses were around nine hundred. Paris remained under martial law for five years.
The commune adopted the previously discarded French Revolutionary Calendar during its brief existence.

For   Jimmy Somerville and many other young left-wing idealists, the mid-eighties was a nasty and bitter time in Thatcher's Britain. Prime Minister Margaret Hilda Thatcher, a right-wing realist, and the unions were going head to head over her resolve to take apart worker's collective right to an unofficial strike. Each side was shouting over the other, and the collision between the government’s deemed oppressive attitude and the union leaders mulish fervor, that they were right, was severely problematic. Thatcher introduced legislation significantly regulating strikes and their procedures. Some considered that the gulf between the supposed haves and the have-nots, between what socialists call, us and them, were looking as wide as ever and enough to unsettle a whole society. Unemployment was at historic levels; that proved to the communards in Britain, that Thatcher wanted to only undermine the poor defenceless worker. She foolishly saw it as a solution to the historic over-manning levels reached in the late seventies, under the Labour    government that brought about the     Winter of Discontent.   Thatcher wanted British Industry to be competitive in the world markets, even if this meant throwing many onto the dole.

Jimmy Somerville   is a highly talented performer, but being a tough, left-wing, Scottish, Gay, red-headed, diminutive individual, where else could he go but to the side that Romanticized the struggle of the poverty stricken, hard pressed, down trodden jobless citizens of Thatcher's Britain.

In times of devilish destitution and depression, the luckless losers of the proletariat always go for the idealistic dreams of escapism rather than reality. Early America moving Pictures are a typical example, closely followed by the opium-like, soothing yet dreary popular music of the early fifties.

However, in the mid-eighties, out of the blue we had the most unlikely pop star and standard bearer for left-wing politics; the lead singer of Bronski Beat. Just as today, [2004] Pop-Idols, Ruben in the USA and Michelle in the UK, they also have broken that typical pop-star shape and style, and they also have bulldozed their way onto the superficial pop-arena, by having just a huge singing ability and raw talent.

Such was this for ginger Jimmy Somerville, a petite, tough-looking, aggressive, gay activist, with the outward persona of a skinhead, who sang to a rapid dance beat in falsetto. Any one of these characteristics was odd enough, but he was a grass-roots socialist who did not care for anything or anyone, accept his beliefs. When fame got in the way of his cause, he changed groups, which would have been suicidal for run of the mill popsters of the world. Bronski Beat pledged to carry on, but without Somerville, they were nothing.

With Richard Cole, he formed the Communards, named after the Paris Commune of the eighteen-seventies. [See Above]

They were a paradox but also a counterpoint. Cole was two feet taller than Somerville. Cole was a classically trained pianist and self-trained Somerville could sing. Cole spoke the Queen's English so well, and was such an upper class snob that he just had to be a socialist. Somerville was a hard nosed Scot from Glasgow, so he just had to be a socialist also. But they just loved each other and were like either sides of the same coin.

Irrespective of what Jimmy Somerville was or is now will never detract from the immense talent he has, and the great songs he has produced.

ASTEROIDS - also called minor planet, or planetoid, any of a host of small rocky bodies, about 1,000 km or less in diameter, that orbit the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is because of their small size and large numbers relative to the nine major planets that asteroids are also called minor planets. The two designations are frequently used interchangeably, though dynamicists, astronomers who study individual objects with dynamically interesting orbits or groups of objects with similar orbital characteristics, generally use the term minor planet, whereas those who study the physical properties of such objects usually refer to them as asteroids.

Lucifer - In Christian tradition, the leader of the angels expelled from heaven for rebelling against God. Known thereafter as Satan (Hebrew: adversary) or the Devil, he presides over the souls condemned to torment in Hell. He is identified with the serpent that tempted Eve (Genesis 3.1–6) and the great red dragon cast out of heaven by Michael (Revelation 12.3–9). The exact nature of Lucifer’s sin was much debated; the commonest view is that his sin was pride.

John Winston Lennon, an icon of idealism, creativity and hope, was born on October 9, 1940 to a dysfunctional, working-class Liverpool family. He was born during an air raid from the German Air Force, in WWII. So pleased that he and his mother had survived, they chose his second name as Winston, after the great war-leader Churchill.

Athlete's Foot is a skin condition caused by a fungus, that typically occurs between the toes. This picture is the classic condition, and very common. It is also at a stage where it is being restrained, not cured, only by being kept reasonably clean. WE HAVE A CURE.

Sahara desert Facts - The Sahara Desert is a great desert area, North Africa, the West portion of the broad belt of parched land that extends from the Atlantic Ocean eastward past the Red Sea to Iraq. The entire desert, the largest in the world, is about 1600 km wide and about 5000 km long from East to West.

Three thousand acres of life-giving plants are still eaten away by some circumstance every hour of every day. That is FIVE ACRES at every sweep of this clock. - CAN YOU HELP? Greenhouse Effect - An effect occurring in the atmosphere because of the presence of certain gases - Greenhouse Gases - water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide, that absorb infrared radiation. Short-Wave Light and ultraviolet radiation from the sun are able to penetrate the atmosphere and warm the earth’s surface. This energy is re-radiated as infrared radiation, which, because of its longer wavelength, is absorbed by such substances as carbon dioxide, instead of passing through. The overall effect is that the average temperature of the earth and its atmosphere is increasing - the so-called Global Warming or ultimately the Global Ending Syndrome.

Forest Land - Forest covered with trees and undergrowth. Over 20% of the Earth's land-surface is forest, providing valuable oxygen, timber, and habitats for wildlife. Northern coniferous forests consist largely of pine, spruce, and firs.

Anthrax is principally a disease of domesticated and wild mammals, particularly herbivorous animals, such as cattle, sheep, horses, mules, and goats. Humans become infected almost incidentally when brought into contact with diseased animals, which can include their flesh, bones, hides, hair and excrement, or anywhere the germ may be lurking.

The Taliban - Persian Tālebān - Students. Also spelled Taleban. An ultra conservative political and religious faction that emerged in Afghanistan in the mid 1990s following the withdrawal of Soviet troops, the collapse of Afghanistan's communist regime, and the subsequent breakdown in civil order. The faction took its name from its membership, which consisted largely of students trained in Madrasah's Islamic religious schools, that were established for Afghan refugees in the1980s in northern Pakistan

World Trade Center - A complex of several buildings around a central plaza in New York City that in 2001 was the site of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history. The complex—located at the southwestern tip of Manhattan, near the shore of the Hudson River and a few blocks northwest of Wall Street—was built by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a central facility for businesses and government agencies involved in international trade. Until the 2001 attack, it was notable for its huge twin towers, each of which had 110 stories. The roof of One World Trade Center reached to 1,368 feet (417 meters), and Two World Trade Center was 1,362 feet (415 meters) tall. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki and officially opened in 1972, the towers were the world's tallest buildings until surpassed in 1973 by the Sears Tower in Chicago. (See Researcher's Note: Heights of Buildings.) Each of the twin towers had 97 passenger elevators, 21,800 windows, and roughly an acre (0.4 hectare) of rentable space per floor. An observation deck was situated on the 107th floor of the south tower (Two World Trade Center), and a television-broadcasting mast 360 feet (110 meters) high was attached to the north tower (One World Trade Center).

THE TAKERS TEST - Every minute of every day millions of people make a hot drink for themselves. Whether it is Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate, invariably the process needs WATER and some ENERGY source. Put up your hand, if you did not know this, and also that the planet's WATER and ENERGY sources are dwindling

TERMITES - any of the cellulose-eating social insects that constitute the order Isoptera. Cellulose in this case refers to wood. Termites have for millions of years been eating the majority of fallen trees, dead trees and rotting trees, from all around the world. It is said that the world would be totally covered in a ten meter pile of rotting timber, if it was not for the Termite.

BEDBUG - Any member of the approximately 75 species of nocturnal insects of the family Cimicidae - order Heteroptera, that feed by sucking the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. The reddish brown, or mahogany adult is broad and flat. It is only 4 to 5 mm, less than 0.2 inch long. The greatly withered, scaly vestigial wings are inconspicuous and non-functioning. You know they are about, when you see you have mysterious bite marks - small red dots. You can also see small telltale black marks, on sheets and mattresses. Bedbugs also have a distinctive oily odor, that results from a secretion of scent from their stink glands.

MITES - Any of about 20,000 species of tiny arthropod invertebrates belonging to the subclass Acari - sometimes Acarina, or Acarida, of the class Arachnida. Mites live in varied habitats: in brackish water, in fresh water, in hot springs, in soil, on plants, and as parasites on and in animals. Parasitic forms may live in the nasal passages, lungs, stomach, or deeper body tissues of animals. Some mites are carriers of human and animal diseases. Plant-feeding mites cause damage by feeding on leaf tissues or by transmitting viral diseases. Mites are small, often microscopic in size—the smallest being about 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) in length and the largest being about 6 mm (0.25 inch)—and they usually have four pairs of legs. In general, they breathe by means of tracheae, or air tubes; in many species, however, respiration takes place through the skin

Mosquito - A small flying biting insect that could be described as a type of Fly. It lives worldwide, especially in the tropics. It has long legs and a slender abdomen, Culex Forma. In most species the males feed on plant juices or nectar. The females puncture the skin with a long proboscis, to suck the blood of mammals, quite often transmitting serious diseases, including Malaria, Dengue Fever, Encephalitis and Yellow Fever. The mosquito is not strictly a parasite.

THE LOUSE - also called the Body Louse -Pediculus Humanus, one of the most common sucking lice, found wherever human beings live. There are two sub-species of the common human louse: Pediculus Humanus Capitis, the Head Louse, and P. Humanus Humanus, the body louse, or cootie. The body louse is an important carrier of epidemic typhus; other louse-borne human diseases are trench fever and relapsing fever

Fleas have been around for millions of years - a fossilized flea found in Australia is said to be 200 million years old. It does not differ significantly from today's fleas. Different species can be found from the Arctic Circle to the Arabian deserts - even penguins have fleas which counteract the cold by ensuring that their growth into adulthood coincides with the time when penguins are sitting firmly on their eggs, thereby keeping both fleas and their young in a warm environment!

The June Bug - Cotinus Nitida - Linnaeus - Really a Flying Beetle - " I'm coming to get you!! " - Cotinus Nitida - The June Bug, also called May Beetle, or July Bug - Any insect of the genus Phyllophaga, belonging to the widely distributed, plant-feeding subfamily Melolonthinae - family Scarabaeidae, order Coleoptera. These red-brown / green or even orange beetles commonly appear in the Northern Hemisphere during warm spring evenings and are attracted to lights. The heavy-bodied June beetles vary from 12 to 25 mm - 0.5 to 1 inch, and have shiny wing covers (elytra). They feed on foliage and flowers at night, sometimes causing considerable damage. June beetle larvae, called white grubs, are about 25 mm long and live in the soil. They can destroy crops, like, corn [maize], small grains, potatoes, strawberries, and they can kill lawns and pastures by severing the grasses from the roots.

TICK - A widely distributed parasitic arachnid - related to Spiders and Scorpions, that sucks the blood of mammals, reptiles and birds, and may transmit such diseases as Typhus, Lymes Disease and Relapsing Fever. Its round body can be as small as a millimeter, or up to 30 mm long, with eight bristly legs. After feeding, the adults drop off the host and lay eggs on the ground. The larvae attach themselves to a suitable victim, feed, then drop off and molt into nymphs, which repeat the procedure. They have been compared to being similar to the Mite. An insect is a six legged creature, but all of this sized organisms once came from the same ancestor.

Meningitis is an infection of the clear plasma-like fluid of a person's spinal cord and the same fluid that surrounds the brain. Meningitis is sometimes referred to as Spinal Meningitis. Meningitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection; itis mean inflammation, so the infection causes an inflammation of these areas.

MRSA - PLEASE NOTE THAT MRSA IS NOT A DISEASE. IT IS THE NAME OF A BACTERIA THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE AN ANTIBODY THAT CAN KILL IT. IF ALLOWED INTO THE BODY OF A MAMMAL, IT CAN BRING ON MANY PROBLEMS AND CONDITIONS. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE ALTERNATE NAMES AND SOMETIMES MRSA IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED. PREVIOUS TO THE MRSA STRAIN THESE CONDITIONS WERE CLEARED UP QUITE EASILY WITH PENICILLIN ETC. BUT NOT ANYMORE. READ ON!

Asthma is not a new phenomenon, as its recent insurgence would suggest. - Asthma-like symptoms were first recorded around 3500 years ago in an Egyptian manuscript called the Ebers Papyrus. And a word with similar roots as Asthma was also seen in Homer's Iliad. The word comes from the Greek and means Labored Breathing. The word Asthma was first used to describe an illness 500 years later by the famous Greek physician, and father of Medicine, Hippocrates. The Romans also recorded this condition and used various remedies to try and cure it.

SMELLY FEET - Most of the body sweats to keep us cool, and help remove some waste products from the body. Every square cm of the sole of the foot and the palms of your hands have about over 500 sweat pores, totalling 250,000 little holes, that is more than other part of the body, even more that under the arm-pits.

Allergy - An abnormal reaction by the body to certain substances, including pollen, dust, certain foods and drugs, fur, moulds, etc. Normally all foreign substances (antigens) entering the body are destroyed by antibodies. Allergic people, however, become hypersensitive to certain antigens (called allergens), so that whenever they are encountered in future they stimulate not only the normal antibody reaction but also the abnormal symptoms of the allergy, such as sneezing and skin rashes. Allergic conditions include hay fever, some forms of asthma and dermatitis, and urticaria. Treatment includes the use of antihistamines and corticosteroids and desensitization.

CLONE - also spelled clon population of genetically identical cells or organisms that are derived originally from a single original cell or organism by asexual methods. Cloning is fundamental to most living things, since the body cells of plants and animals are clones ultimately derived from the mitosis of a single fertilized egg. More narrowly, a clone can be defined as an individual organism that was grown from a single body cell of its parent and that is genetically identical to it.

STD's - These bacterial and viral infections are related to sex, but of course have historically been associated with oral-sex and the vagina. In most all cases though they can cause some form of bodily infection and are transmitted through some form of sex. HIV/ AIDS is also listed below. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) can often be transmitted even though both partners firmly believe they are infection free. The incubation period of a disease, is the period of time between infection and the appearance of symptoms. So during the incubation period, partners can transfer a virus or bacteria without even knowing.

Hay fever An allergy to pollen, which leads to sneezing, a streaming nose, and inflamed eyes. Treatment involves taking antihistamines or, in severe cases, steroids. - ALLERGIES - hypersensitive reaction by the body to foreign substances - antigens, that in similar amounts and circumstances are harmless within the bodies of other people.

Worms, some say, have been around in one form or shape for about 600 million years. We actually share some DNA with all worms. There are perhaps up to 35,000 different types of these legless invertebrates, that we call worms. Some scurry about on the surface of the land, some live just beneath, whilst others bury themselves deep into the Earth's surface. Many live in the sea, and some have been found deep down on the bottom. Some are so small you cannot see them with the naked-eye, others are so big, they could be snakes. An Earthworm can live for ten years, living and eating in our gardens. They have no eyes, or ears and never sleep. Pound for pound, as they are made of mostly muscle they can be 1,000 times stronger than the strongest man, so next time you call a person a worm, think.

Clostridium Difficile, is now recognized as the chief cause of HAI - Diarrhea in the US and Europe, and not only in hospitals but also in nursing homes and other facilities for long term care. Initial recognition of this disease began in the 1970s, with reports of a serious, sometimes lethal colitis, characterized by the formation of pseudo-membranous plaques. The cause was identified as Clostridium Difficile in 1978.

STARVING WORLD OF FAMINE - But something can be done; something that would not only help millions of Africa's starving impoverished citizens; not only help facilitate a world financial resurgence but also create a new global environment that might save humanity. It would cost nothing.

The human papilloma virus - HPV, causes several different types of warts, which are the most common type of skin infection. In some cases, the HPV virus dies within 1 or 2 years, and warts simply disappear. Verrucas, also called Warts, well-defined small growth of varying shape on the skin surface, caused by a virus. The wart is composed of an abnormal proliferation of cells of the epidermis; the overproduction of these cells is caused by the viral infection. The most common type of wart is a round, raised lesion having a dry and rough surface; flat or threadlike lesions are also seen. Warts are usually painless, except for those in pressure areas, such as the plantar warts, or Verrucas, that occur on the sole of the foot. They may occur as isolated lesions or grow profusely, especially in moist regions of the body surface.

Huntington's Disease is due to a dominant and faulty genetic disorder on chromosome 4. The consequence of the fault with this gene starts around or just before middle age, and leads to a gradual physical, mental and emotional change in its victim. Huntington's Disease was named after the American, Dr. George Huntington, as in 1872 he was the first person to document an accurate description of the symptoms and the route of the disease. - The loss of these cells causes intense symptoms and eventually death. As the condition advances, it becomes more difficult for the patient to walk and speak. Memory and intellectual functions continue to decline, until the end. By far of the majority of patients are placed in hospices for special care.

Acne can affect people from ages 9 through to middle-age. Acne can show up as any of the following; congested pores, whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, pustules, or cysts - deep pimples, spots. These blemishes occur wherever there are many oil or sebaceous glands, mainly on the face, chest, and back. Acne is commonly referred to in slang as zits.

PILES - Hemroids and their symptoms are one of the most common afflictions in the Western world. In fact, hemroids can occur at any age and can affect both women and men. Because the presence of hemorrhoidal tissue is normal - it acts as a compressible lining which allows the anus to close completely. Unfortunately, hemroids tend to get worse over time, and disease should be treated as soon as it occurs.

ANTS - any member of the approximately 8,000 species of the insect family Formicidae - order Hymenoptera. Ants occur worldwide but are especially common in hot climates. All ants are social in habit; i.e., they live together in organized colonies, and they range in size from 2 to about 25 millimeters, about 0.08 to 1 inch. Their color is usually yellow, brown, red, or black. A few genera, e.g., Pheidole of North America, have a metallic luster.

Rabies A virus infection of the brain that can affect all warm-blooded animals and may be transmitted to man through the bite of an infected animal (usually a dog). Symptoms, which appear after a period of from ten days to two years, include painful spasms of the throat. Later, the sight of water can induce convulsions (hence the alternative name—hydrophobia, “fear of water”) and the patient eventually dies. Antirabies vaccine and antiserum given immediately after being bitten may prevent the infection from developing. The UK has strict quarantine regulations for imported domestic animals to prevent the disease from reaching Britain.

COCKROACHES - Dictyoptera - An order of insects comprising the cockroaches - suborder Blattaria) and the mantids - suborder Mantodea, occurring mainly in tropical regions. Cockroaches are oval and flattened in shape; some have a single well-developed pair of wings, folded back over the abdomen at rest, while in others the wings may be reduced or absent. They are usually found in forest litter, feeding on dead organic matter, but some species, e.g. the American cockroach - Periplaneta Americana, are major household pests, scavenging on starchy foods, fruits, etc. In most species the females produce capsules - the (oothecae containing 16 - 40 eggs. These are either deposited or carried by the female during incubation.

Elvis was born Jan. 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Miss., U.S. He died Aug. 16, 1977, in Memphis, Tenn. His name in full was Elvis Aaron Presley or more correctly, Elvis Aron Presley, the popular singer widely known as the King of Rock and Roll. He was one of rock music's most dominant performers from the mid-1950s until the present day and forever.
