New Agenda on Sunday is out. Edition of 09 April 2017

Good morning everyone

It seems that the "gremlin" has returned as I have not received "New Agenda on Sunday" in my e=mail box. Consequently. I have had to resort to the fix that I was using a couple of weeks back when the same problem occurred. Hope it still works.

I note with disgust, that both Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury (to name but two) have dropped the word "Easter" from their egg ranges.
Now I am not a particularly religious person, but I will not be dictated to, instructed by, or otherwise taught how to behave by a bunch of self appointed, impertinent, PC brigade meddlers, who seem to have too much time on their hands and little else to do.I shall continue to use the word "Easter" as I will continue to use the word "Christmas" at the appropriate time. Anyone who disagrees with that can get ........and go to ......

Happy Easter everyone !!.

A group of schoolchildren were spotted beneath the cliffs at West Bay despite repeated warnings about the dangers of potential rockfalls. A 20-strong group, including adults, were seen taking measurements and examining rocks, apparently on a school field trip, they even stopped for lunch on the rocks.!

People have been killed in rockfalls at this spot. and yet children are encouraged to work beneath the cliff face. Sheer lunacy.

Brian Moore, 55, former England hooker and one of the Rugby World Cup winning side of 2003 and now a member of BBC's rugby commentary team, is is intensive care after suffering a heart attack.

Hang in there Brian !
Best wishes for a speedy return to the commentary box and those caustic comments especially "feeding" at the scrum.

Since early 2013, the American government closely followed by the United Kingdom government and with the French governments padding along at their heels like some well rained and obedient poodle, have been desperately seeking some justification, no matter how tenuous, to become involved in the Syrian Civil war. In this odious quest, they have been enthusiastically encouraged and supported by a media and television machine, frantically baying for the removal of Bashar al Assad and the Damascus government.

Timothy Peter Pigott-Smith OBE May 1946 – 7 April 2017 an English film and television actor and author.

I remember Pigott-Smith mainly for his brief appearance in Downton Abbey as Sir Philip Tapsell attending Sybil Branson in childbirth, and then as Brigadier Timothy Wilson in Foyles war.
In a career spanning many years in film and television, he was eventually recognised as one of the United Kingdom's great actors.

After a few days of record temperatures, the weather forecasters are now predicting a return of a cold front for next week. Astonishingly, one of them was even forecasting snow! Fortunately, I have not put the De Longhi's back into the garage yet.

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.
