  George Entwistle quits over Newsnight fiasco

 
George Entwistle and BBC Chairman Lord Patten give their statements



Seven out of nine front pages that I have looked at this morning, carry the same story. The resignation of George Entwistle it seems, makes all other events pale into insignificance, apart from one front page which headlines the latest "news" from Strictly Come Dancing. The resignation is of course, newsworthy and the way in which the coverage and reporting of recent events associated with child abuse in this country has been put together, should be examined. However, over the past forty eight hours, what was a series of inquiries into allegations of serious child abuse, the apparent  incompetence of at least seven police authorities in their investigations at the time, the complicity of various Health Authorities and public institutions, has descended into a navel contemplation exercise at the BBC. I make no apology for again raising the specter of a covert operation, perhaps not planned and created  in one smoke filled room, but never the less in existence, to divert attention away from the real issues and direct peoples minds towards the events and personalities at the BBC. We are in danger of sleep walking into allowing people involved in the original crimes and in the subsequent cover up of those crimes, to perpetuate their anonymity and allowing them to bury their evil under very large stones. We must not take our eyes off the ball and allow this to happen by default.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

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
