England thump Scotland to seal Six Nations title

Swing low, Sweet Chariot.

England 61 pts Scotland 21 pts.

England are the 6 Nations Champions of 2017 and with one game to spare and took the Calcutta Cup with their best team performance of this years competition.

Scotland were swept aside as England stormed to victory scoring seven tries in their 61 points total. Admittedly Scotland's game was littered with injuries, but even if that had not been the case, it is difficult to envisage any other result given the England passion and drive. Scotland were down to 14 after only two minutes of the game when their hooker Fraser Brown was given 10 minutes in the sin bin for a late and dangerous tackle on Elliot Daly dumping the English wing on his back.

Most of the crowd, the television commentators and I, felt that Brown was very fortunate that the French referee Mathieu Raynal did not produce a red card for the offence.

England travel to Dublin next Saturday as 6 Nations Champions for the match against Ireland, where a win would seal the "Triple Crown" and give England a back to back "Grand Slam" a feat last achieved by France but which would be the first in the revised 6 Nations Competition.

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.
