New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 20th August 2017

Good morning everyone.

England beat West Indies in two days by an innings and 209 runs. Moreover they used a PINK ball!! (Problem is, the pink ball is apparently, not easy to shine on one side no matter how much scubbing in the groin area of the trousers the bowler imparts to the leather. I assume that the ball is still leather no matter what colour it is.)

Jeremy Hunt accuses Stephen Hawking of, "most pernicious falsehoods", in respect of Haking's suggestion that the NHS was being steered towards an American style Health Insurance system and that the NHS is under threat with Hunt "cherry picking" favourable evidence to support government claims that "The NHS under Conservatives, has seen more money, more doctors and more nurses than ever in history".

Jeremey Hunt launched a spiteful and vicious attack on Hawking in attempting to defend his record as Secretary of State for Health. A post which he has held since 2012 and during that time has authorised and implemented cuts which have resulted in wards being closed, increased waiting times, fewer nurses and doctors on wards, more privatisation of elements of the NHS in health care (Virgin now provides more than 400 former NHS and social care services), junior doctors strikes and an alarming decline in the number of nurses in the profession. It is a record which Hunt has defended with lies and falsehood for the last 5 years, and he has the brazenness to accuse Stephen Hawking of peddling "pernicious falehood". Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt has a very unhealthy arrogant attitude and his record as Health Secretary is littered with deceit, lies and deceptions. He does not have a strong position when criticising others.

Sky News weather presenter Isobel Lang, has joined the growing list of people intent, it seems, on destroying the English language.

Given the introduction from the Sky News anchor, "It seems that we shall have some nice weather next week Isobel",
Lang responded with the now (apparently), obligatory , "Yeah, well, I mean".
If these people will insist on using the corrupted, lazy slang versions of English, why do they not just push off to the United States and live amongst those who would not even notice?

Liam Fox, Theresa May and Philip Hammond.

Theresa May announces yet another "policy initiative" and plan to table at the Brexit negotiations. It is promised that she has another five initiatives up her sleeve to present this week, all of which join the heap of paper on the table in Brussels and all of which have so far only drawn chuckles and shaking of heads in disbelief from the rest of the EU members.It is a pitty for the rest of us that these clowns in the conservative paty did not have a plan before embarking on this exercise, allowing Dave to call the referendum.

They are having to make it up as they go along and turning the whole Brexit question into a farce. The rest of Europe laughs at us as we lurch from crisis to crisis. Complete chaos.

The "weather" continues to have more twists, turns and red herrings than an Agatha Christie novel.Today it is raining. It may rain tomorrow but may have sunny periods. Hurricane "Gert"came and went but nobody noticed. It may get warm and humid later this week.

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
