Shami Chakrabarti criticised for award but Tory donor give £2.5 million for a peerage.








New peer on Cameron's resignation honours list gave Tories £2.5m


Keith Vaz


Wes Streeting









Tom Watson










Yesterday, Tom Watson, Keith Vaz, Wes Streeting and others, were grabbing television interview time and inches of column space in the media, to proclaim hypocritical indignation at Shami Chakrabarti and her peerage nomination, when their real agenda was to have yet another swipe at Jeremy Corbyn.
Shami Chakrabarti who has done much for human rights and civil liberties over the years, is criticised not because she has been nominated for a life peerage, but because the nomination was made by Jeremy Corbyn.


Shami Chakrabarti


Today, after examining David Cameron's Resignation Honours list, which takes cronyism to a new level even for Cameron, the news is revealed that at least one of Cameron's new Conservative peers is a party donor who has given £2.5 million. More over, the list named Andrew Fraser as a recipient, saying only that he was Conservative party treasurer. However, it is now revealed that Fraser’s full name is the Hon Alexander Andrew Macdonell Fraser, who as Alexander A Fraser gave the Conservative party around £2.5m under Cameron’s leadership. The motivation for this apparent attempt to conceal the real identity of the Honours recipient and the Conservative party donor is perfectly clear.



"Alexander A. Fraser"



We have heard nothing from from Streeting, Vaz, Watson or in fact any of the others who were so vocal yesterday on the award to Chakrabarti, expressing outrage at the circumstances of the peerage awarded to Fraser and grubby deception surrounding it.
It is hardly surprising that the conspirators PLP are held in such low esteem, when every act, every piece of publicity, every interview or briefing or public appearance is used as another opportunity to attack or undermine the leadership of their own party.

The hypocrisy of these opportunists has always been stunning, but to besmirch the work and achievements of Chakrabarti in order to attack Corbyn and at the same time ignore the sordid award by Cameron of a peerage in exchange for cash is unforgivable.

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
