New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 06 March 2016




Good morning everyone.

It is March already the 3rd month of 2016 and even with the extra day, the year seems to be hurtling by at an even faster rate than last year!


John Longworth
BCC Director general John Longworth

 Which ever side of the European debate you happen to sit on, it is outrageous that you can be suspended, and ultimately loose your job (did he jump or was he pushed?), for suggesting that Britain would be better off outside the European Union. This high handed, arrogant and dictatorial behaviour, demonstrates the lengths of bullying that the pro EU lobby will employ to frighten the people of this country to vote "Stay" in the referendum. There is even growing speculation the Downing Street was involved in this hounding of British Chamber of Commerce Director general John Longworth. The referendum debate is fast becoming a sordid scaremongering farce, with each side throwing out smears, threats, bullying and disinformation to blacken their opponents and few actual facts to support their side of the argument. It is a depressing thought that this pantomime will continue right through till June!



Going in for the tackle during a secondary school rugby match.



Some doctors and “health experts” have called for a ban on tackling in school rugby games. More Pc garbage. Rugby is a contact sport and as with all sports of that kind will contain an element of risk. The 70 doctors and "health experts" are trying to create a nation of wimps. They would be better utilised doing their knitting and playing Tiddly Winks.


Ginger Nut Cookies
Ginger nuts


You will be pleased to learn, (well I assume you will be pleased), that McVitie's ginger nuts are to return to the shops and supermarkets after a three month absence following flooding at one of Britain’s biggest biscuit factories. This “staple” of the British diet will be available from the middle of this moth. I shall place an advance order with our supermarket.

Economic Development Minister Lyndon Farnham


Meanwhile, back in Jersey.
Is someone in the Jersey States legislature finally beginning to see the light? Condor Ferries have been taking the p**s and taking the money for years.
“Time is running out for Condor” Senator Lyndon Farnham the Island’s Economic Development Minister warned this week following a weekend of technical issues and cancellations.



We had quite a hailstorm on Wednesday morning, with winds over 95mph recorded at Portland.
More to come and even worse so they say.
This weather seems to be the norm now rather than the exception.
Ces't la vie.


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

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
