It is 28th January and the first month of the year has practically gone. 2018 promises to be another of those years where all 12 months seem somehow to be compressed into 6. Some scientists say that as we get older, time passes more quickly. I know what they mean.

A story in the Jersey Evening Post caught my eye this week. "The Snow Hill Fish and Chips Take Away" in St Helier, has consistently been in breech of the State of Jersey Food Safety laws. Apparently, this food outlet has been failing the compulsory inspections since 2014.If you happen to be in Jersey this year, this may well be a "chippy" to avoid. If it is so bad, why have the "Authorities" not just closed it?

It is rare indeed for the American legal system or the US International Trade Commission or any other "official" American body to rule against their own organisations and companies (especially Boeing) and in favour of companies from outside the United States borders.
This is one of those rare occasions, but it remains to be seen whether Boeing will appeal this decision to higher American Courts.However in the short term at least, Bombardier have achieved a significant victory and for now thousand of jobs in Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom appear to be safe.

Nadhim Zahawi is one, perhaps the only one, MP to emerge untouched by the events at the Presidents Gala this week. With his chequered past he is fast becoming the "Teflon Man" who once claimed 10p for a glue stick on his MP's Expenses form and has a £25 million prperty port folio.

In a comment straight from the old "News of the World" reporters, when he observed what was going on at the charity gala, he "made his excuses and left". Perhaps nothing was happening at the previous 7 Presidents Gala's that he has attended.

The Premiership of Theresa May is in terminal decline and rapidly approaching the end. Any credibility and authority that she may once if ever, have had, crumbles away almost by the hour, and her enemies within the cabinet and wider conservative party have not failed to recognise the

degradation. In much the same way as a pack of lionesses identify the weakest of a herd of Impala and then move in for the kill, conservative MP's are positioning themselves for a leadership challenge within weeks.

It has been raining for the past three days. It is predicted that there will be showers and wind into this week, but turning colder from Wednesday with a cold blast coming down from the Artic.

Strange that my seaweed is still showing "Fair".

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.
