£31billion for 4 submarines while 1 million families rely on Foodbanks.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-could-boycott-trident-vote-to-stem-internal-rebellion-a6844071.html The Conservatives want to hold a snap vote in the House of Commons to approve the construction of four new submarines HMS Vigilant, one of four submarines carrying the Trident missile   The government can "find" £31billion to renew weapons of mass destruction, but cannot afford to build houses for people crying out for homes. They can find £31billion to build 4 new submarines, but cannot afford to adequately fund welfare for the sick, disabled and pensioners. The government can ignore more than 1 million families, reliant on Foodbanks and other charities, to fund a prestige project implemented with the ultimate objective of killing millions of men, women and children. Rather than boycotting a vote in the House of Commons, the whole of the Parliamentary Labour Party, together with the wider Labour movement in the country and trade unions

Meanwhile in Jersey.

The end of an era as the Living Legend finally shuts its doors   The centre, which opened on the site of the former Strawberry Farm in 1992 THE Living Legend – a once-popular tourist attraction enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers a year – has closed. Not many places (if any) left for us tourist to buy the very low quality very high priced tatty rubbish in the "Sale" which lasts all season. They should restore the "Strawberry Farm" to its former glory. http://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2016/01/26/the-end-of-an-era-as-the-living-legend-finally-shuts-its-doors/ Fewer technical issues for new ferry expected in 2016 The £50 million vessel is currently in dry dock in Falmouth THE technical problems which have plagued Condor Liberation since it came into operation almost a year ago should be significantly reduced in 2016, one of the firm’s directors has said.

  https://paper.li/f-1346065353 New Agenda on Sunday. A round up of New Agenda and much much more Good morning everyone. Osborne backs Christine Lagarde Davos, a town in the Swiss Alps, boasting several ski areas, including Jakobshorn, Pischa, Rinerhorn and Parsenn, which have downhill slopes and cross-country pistes. It’s also home to a large natural ice rink and the Vaillant Arena ice-hockey stadium. At the moment, Davos is the venue for the "World Economic Forum 2016", which is little more than a "jolly" for "World Leaders", where loads of hot air conversation is intermingled with quaffing very expensive alcohol and consuming large quantities of rich food and "working lunch" sandwiches. The net results of these three days of meetings will be a few inches on the waistlines of many of the attendees, a few ruffled feathers of ego's and perhaps some severe hangovers. The effects of the meeting to ordinary pe

https://paper.li/f-1346065353 New Agenda on Sunday.  A round up of New Agenda and much much more   The great British breakfast is under threat. Good morning everyone. The Jersey Inquiry in Historic Child Sex abuse at the Haute de la Garenne and other municipal establishments on the island continues in St Helier. This week, former Jersey Deputy Police Chief Lenny Harper has been giving evidence, highly critical of the States and the Jersey “establishment” accusing them of deliberate obstruction of his investigations and his subsequent “removal” from the case. Harper also alleged that no charges were ever brought against police officers when his evidence was submitted to the Law Officers department went on to state that there was, "a culture emerging in Jersey of systematic child abuse" which was "far worse" than a single paedophile ring. Responding to Harper's testimony, Frank Walker, who was Chief Minister between 2005 and 2008

The incompetence of Hotpoint customer services.

Service? Nothing like it I have just put this onto the Hotpoint page and Curry's page. Complete incompetence. "Does anyone actually work in your Customer Services Department? I ask because over the past week, I have been trying to arrange a service engineer visit to fix our cooker, which is the same cooker that your engineer "fixed" on the 9th November last year. Same cooker, different fault, which was reported but ignored as he considered the fan and motor replacement would "solve the problem". You have ignored my telephone calls, not even bothering to pick up the phone.You have ignored the calls from our Service centre Agreement call centre and now you even ignore the calls from Curry's, where we bought the appliance (as you did back in November when we had the initial problem). I was in Curry's when you ignored their telephone call for 25 minutes (it was on their loudspeaker phone just playing musak). I am getting very hacked off with you

New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 10 January 2016

  https://paper.li/f-1346065353  New Agenda on Sunday.  A round up of New Agenda and much much more "we are striking as a last resort, to try to stop a terrible scenario unfolding."      Good morning everyone.  After many months of negotiations, the Junior Doctors will be on strike next Tuesday. Ignoring all the hype, disinformation and smear about the reasons for the strike as pushed out by Jeremy Hunt and certain parts of the media, particularly the Sun (who else?), I believe that they have valid arguments and are justified in taking action. It is regrettable that it has come to this point. However, when governments choose to take on what they consider to be the softest targets in industrial disputes, doctors, nurses, police and others, it is inevitable that sooner or later the targets will say enough is enough. The government will still seek to undermine the validity of the workers arguments, as witnessed by the “sexed

Exaggerating lies to "create" truth.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/demands-for-inquiry-into-whitehalls-sexed-up-letter-from-nhs-boss-warning-of-junior-doctors-strike-a6802926.html Demands for inquiry into Whitehall's sexed-up letter from NHS boss warning of junior doctors strike Jeremy Hunt: Part of the problrm No one should be in any doubt about how members of this Government, particularly Hunt, Duncan-Smith or Osborne will cheat, coerce and lie in order to achieve their objectives. Pressuring people in positions of influence, civil servants, intelligence chief's and even a head of the NHS, to embellish and exaggerate their reports or letters in order to meet the position adopted by Minister is not new. The sinister aspect of this practice is when the media either by accident or design put their own embellishment on the "story" and convince ordinary people that lies are "truth".

Getting away with murder as the sniping against the leadership continues.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jan/06/shadow-rail-minister-jonathan-reynolds-resigns-labour-reshuffle   Three junior shadow ministers have resigned in protest at Jeremy Corbyn’s reshuffle Kevan Jones, Jonathan Reynolds and Stephen Doughty This Conservative government is literally getting away with murder. In the meantime of course, there are certain people within the Parliamentary Labour Party, motivated by their own personal agenda's and encouraged by the television and media (who also have their own but different agenda's), who are actively and enthusiastically engaged in a war against the democratically elected leadership of the party. They spew vitriol and derision against any who criticise them while at the same time accusing all who do not share their views, of spreading division within the party and engaging in “civil warfare”.They seek a renaissance of a quasi Blair philosophy, wrapping diluted conservative policies in a veneer of
