The Telegraph now resorts to the "reds under the bed" smear tactic.

Jeremy Corbyn hints at Russia ties

Michael Wilkinson, Political Correspondent of the Telegraph

The Telegraph (who else?) enters the smear and discrediting campaign with a scurrilous piece of journalistic absurdity, suggesting that the "Reds under the bed" may not have actually arrived yet, but will soon be with us in the event of Jeremy Corbyn winning the Labour leadership and subsequently becoming Prime Minister. (The Telegraph seems to acknowledge that this is a possibility, in marked contrast to their and the rest of the media views of a few days ago . "Corbyn would be unelectable! and all that nonsense.) The acrimonious campaign against Corbyn and those who support him, both within the Labour party and within the public, has been waged on a daily basis for almost 6 weeks and has demonstrated the depths of maliciousness to which the media and sadly some sections of the Parliamentary Labour Party will sink in order to preserve their position of power and influence in our society. They have waged a campaign of personality and smear rather than policies and debate, a campaign of duplicitous hypocrisy, rather than honesty and truth and now the suggestion that there would be some kind of sinister secret relationship with Russia , exposes Michael Wilkinson, Political Correspondent of the Telegraph as seeking a witch hunt, in the same fashion as the McCarthy committees of the 1950's, to add to the nauseous spectacle of the panic and fear in the media and the right.

Jeremy Corbyn addressing public meeting

Regardless of whether Jeremy Corbyn is declared as the new leader of the Labour party on September 12th or not, the media, television and the right of the PLP, have inflicted severe damage on the credibility of the democratic process in this country and the belief that the media is, on balance, an impartial observer of events. After almost 6 weeks of maliciousness, hypocrisy and acrimony waged against Corbyn and his supporters, it will take some time, to restore credibility.

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 baby. How will the royal baby look as he grows up? Now the latest absurdity, this time f

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

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
