NO to Heathrow runway 3







http://news.sky.com/story/978020/heathrow-runway-delay-bad-for-business


 Capacity constraints at Heathrow Airport are restricting the UK's economic potential, a report by MPs has said.



 



 "Bad for business" !  Never mind the hundreds  of homes that would be demolished to make way for this monstrosity. Never mind the disruption to peoples lives with the increased pollution from noise, traffic and transport congestion. Never mind the devastating effect on the environment and wild life in the area. This and more is of little consequence to the business must come first lobby. For far too long, people have been dominated, abused and dismissed by the greed and self interest of the business community. The argument that developments such as the third runway at Heathrow is good for the economy, as it will bring jobs and increased trade opportunities has always been a load of garbage generated by the business community to conceal their real objective of generating more profit with the minimum of cost to themselves. More over, it is clearly obvious that these "developments" do not effect those people demanding the "improvements" or the vested interests of politicians supporting and lobbying for the schemes. Ironically, it is the people who are most effected who actually pay for the devastation in terms of taxes, compulsory purchases, loss of homes, loss of environment and facilities.Business and the pro lobby can take their third runway proposals, shove it.....and build another airport (if it is absolutely necessary, which I doubt) somewhere else.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
