New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 28 May 2017

Good morning everyone

The week has been dominated by the events at the Manchester Arena atan Ariana Grande concert. This appalling terrorist suicide bombing, carried out by Salman Abedi, which killed 22 people and seriously injured many others, has been rightly condemned by all as an atrocity and reminds us all of the threat of terrorism.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims.

R I P the 22.

Regular readers may have gathered from previous e-mail that I am not a great fan of Kelvin MacKenzie. (He is despised by thousands of other people too and is still persona non grata in Liverpool.) Without entering into a discussion on the offending Sun front page, which was published the day after the Manchester bombing, and was the only "newspaper" not to cover the story, I just offer the following observation.

Another reprehensible and crass Front Page from the Sun.
I was under the impression that the obnoxious Kelvin MacKenzie had finally departed from the Sun, the "newspaper" of infamous misrepresentation and lies, and rode off into the sunset to grow roses in his garden (preferably in some other distant country).
Unfortunately however, his ghost still wanders around the offices on the editorial floors of the paper and worse, still seems to have use of processors upon which to write his loathsome stories.

Lord Brett Sinclair and James Bond. Two of the greatest roles (amongst many others, Simon Templar, Shaun Fynn, Ivanhoe to name but three) any actor would be proud to have filled. His portrayal of James Bond is considered by many to be the definitive 007 and I think that I would agree with that view. He also had a tremendous sense of humour.

R I P: Roger George Moore KBE 14 October 1927 – 23 May 2017.

Perhaps I might mention some Blogs which I wrote during the past week. Should you have a few moments to spare and have an interest in these things, just copy the link and paste into your browser.

The Conservatives can produce a child's breakfast for just 7p per meal.It seems that they can also feed thousands of people on just 5 farmhouse sliced loaves and 2 medium sized mackerel from the Asda fish counter. With this miraculous sleight of hand, the conservatives and their manifesto promises have, also, at a stoke, found their solution to the Food bank scandal.

Do I detect another U turn coming?
With so many U turns we hardly know in which direction they are now facing. Frankly, neither do they.

Today it is raining very heavily with associated thunder and the occasional flash. Tomorrow it will be raining very heavily with associated thunder and the occasional flash. It seems that all the available "weather pundits" are predicting that this pattern will last for the rest of the week. It must be coming up to Wimbledon Fortnight (or three weeks if it rains) so gather up your strawberries, get in some extra thick cream and set up a stall in Church Road, Wimbledon, SW19 5AE.

You can charge £5 per strawberry (yes per strawberry not per pot!)

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.
