New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 31 January 2016





 
Good morning everyone.





Frank Finlay and Terry Wogan passed away this week adding to the list of “celebrities” including David Bowie to Alan Rickman, who have died in 2016 and it is only January. It may be imagination, or perhaps a factor of getting older, but it seems that the news of people passing away is about figures who I have almost grown up with. A sobering thought.


 'Sir Michael Terence "Terry" Wogan, KBE DL 3 August 1938 – 31 January 2016

Wogan will be missed by many people. R I P Terry.'                   'Francis (Frank) Finlay, 6 August 1926 – 30 January 2016.

Casanova (in the BBC serial of the same name), John Carter (in Cromwell),Father Geoghagen (in The Wild Geese), Peter Manson (in Bouquet of Barbed Wire), Frank Finlay has played these and many other many roles. A great talent. R I P Frank.'


February brings the 2016 Six Nations Trophy competition to our television screens. I shall liberate my England Rugby shirt from the wardrobe, and practice my rendition of “Swing low Sweet Chariot”, in the optimistic belief that England cannot perform as badly as they did during the World Cup competition last year. It may be a case of “the triumph of hope over experience”, but we shall see.

Meanwhile, back in Jersey in Jersey.

              

“The Living Legend” (or Jersey Experience), 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.

The technical problems which have plagued the “Flagship” 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.
You may be forgiven for thinking that in view of the number of "issues" that this white elephant had in 2015 (it came into service less than 12 months ago) there could not possibly be more problems this year.
Could there?

No weather report or forecast today as my little piece of seaweed has dried up.

Have a nice week

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
