United States, the United Kingdom and France,attack Syria.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/syria-air-strikes-trump-chemical-weapons-russia-latest-three-targets-mattis-dunford-a8304126.html US says it hit three targets related to chemical weapons programme The madman Trump drags the world to the very brink. Theresa May, desperate to have electoral success in the council and other elections, follows lemming like towards the and edge and without reference to Parliament or the country. May behaves like a dictator and will ultimately pay the price. Macron, the French Poodle desperately seeking a place on the world stage, joins in.  The overwhelming desire to attack Syria has finally come to action. Surely we must now expet "consequences" as Russia prepares a response. The people of Syria, the region and the rest of the world will pay the price for one man's megalomania and the sycophantic "Me Too" devotion of May and Macron.

Not nearly as clever as they think they are

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/14/syria-air-strikes-us-uk-and-france-launch-attack-on-assad-regime US, UK and France launch air strikes in response to chemical attack The Media (BBC and Sky in particular) have wasted no time in launching their propaganda campaign in support of the madman Trump and the sycophantic camp followers, May and Macron. The usual presenters on both channels are lauding the "accuracy" of the strikes, but glossing over the number of civilians killed in Homs, the British "Target for tonight". In addition, both channels have managed to find "experts", both military and civilian, to praise the "precision" of the strikes and the technical superiority of western technology against the second rate air defences of the Syrian government. The smug attitude of most of these pundits may be a little premature as they derogate the Russian capability to defend Syrian airspace and then go on to promote an &qu

The "chemical attack" on Douma and the hypocrisy at the UN

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/04/09/politics/haley-un-russia-syria-attack/index.html The US will respond to the Assad regime's alleged chemical attack against Syrian civilians.  I have mentioned before how I loathe and despise hypocrisy and those who peddle it, without it seems, them having even the slightest hint of shame or embarrassment. Yesterday, at a special meeting of the United Nations Security Council, Nikki Haley the America Ambassador to the UN, delivered a speech which was dripping in hypocrisy and repetition as she condemned Russia, Syria and Iran for the alleged chemical attack on Douma on Saturday (7th April), killing 49 people and leaving many injured. In a long and rambling diatribe, Haley used the phrase, "I could hold up a photograph", on so many occasions that it was not possible to keep count and her description of the photographic "evidence", was presumably as graphic as the imagery of the photo. Initially, her "I could hold u

New Agenda on Sunday is out! Edition of 8th April 2018

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone An absolutely incredible  story relating to  Capita, the company subcontracted  by the government to carry out disability benefit assessments . It seems that a Mrs Moloney,  who  suffers from bipolar disorder type 2,and severe anxiety, was informed by the DLA that her Disability Living Allowance (DLA) would stop and her Personal Independence  Payment (PIP) had been refused. Her "crime" according to Capita was that she had not attended her disability benefit assessment appointment. All very well you may think , that is  until you learn that the " assessment "  was   to be carried out in her own home and that it was the assessor from Capita who failed to turn up. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that these privatised companies who make large sums of money from the taxpayers pocket have failed the very people who they are supposed to be helping.  The farming out of this and ot

A campaign of smear and personal insults

Justice Secretary David Gauke gives an interview to the Sun. Former Conservative Whip and "Bully Boy" and now Justice Secretary and "Bully Boy" David Gauke, is the latest to wade into Jeremy Corbyn with more lies, smear and calumny suggesting that "Jeremy Corbyn is not on the side of law-abiding citizens". In an interview with the Sun (who else) and enthusiastically repeated in the Express (surprise), Gauke went on to state, "He’s never been a supporter o f the police".“Repeatedly, he has failed to stand up for the law-abiding and too often been prone to put crime down to inequality or poverty, rather than addressing the issue of personal responsibility.” This latest attack is just part of the anti Corbyn campaign, which has been raging in the media and on television for months and over recent weeks has become even more hysterically preposterous as the Conservatives and the media desperately seek more vilification to throw at the Labour

It is not really about anti-Semitism. It is mostly about stifling criticism of Israel

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/apr/03/jeremy-corbyn-called-irresponsible-after-attending-radical-jewish-event Jeremy Corbyn criticised for attending radical Jewish event. For some weeks now, there has been a strong suspicion that there is an "agenda" behind the relentless campaign against the Labour party and Jeremy Corbyn in particular, with stories and "revelations" being reported on a daily basis, of some new twist on the anti-Semitism allegations in the media and on television as well as those emerging from some MP's. The "agenda" has today revealed one, perhaps the main motivation for this insidious campaign. Paul De Laire Staines The publication of a story in "Guido Fawkes" an extreme right wing Blog published by Paul De Laire Staines and which bears more resemblance to another gutter press newspaper rag than to a publication apparently claiming to be a serious political forum, reports the attend

New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 1st April 2018

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone Welcome to April. One quarter of 2018 gone already. Time passes so quickly now and I have already seen advertising for Christmas Clubs. Incredible. With everything that is going on in the world, in Syria, in Brussels, in Palestine, in Parliament and numerous other places, BBC News has the lead, most important story, devoted to another blubbering Aussie being interviewed about his part in the "ball tampering" scandal in South Africa. The mind boggles. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson runs into the rough end of Speaker John Burcow' tongue after referring  to Emily Thornberry as "Lady Nugee" (her husband is Sir Christopher Nugee). Another gaffe from the Buffoon Johnson, which this time warrants a strong rebuke from the Speaker. A justified ticking off which is long overdue. There is clearly an "agenda" behind the current spate of media fuelle

Sky Television's Tomorrow's Newspaper Preview, crosses the "Red Line"

 Reviewers exceed the limit with   smear, lies and personal insults.   ,  Sky Television News, "Tomorrow's Newspaper Preview", has this evening (Saturday 31st). overstepped the mark, allowing their "reviewers" to descend into the world of personal abuse, lies and insults in their comments about Jeremy Corbyn and anti semitism in the Labour party. Christina Patterson and Bobby Friedman vied with each other for the distinction of being the most vehement reviewer, and although not agreeing on Jeremy Corbyn's ultimate political fate, both agreed that he is currently a  member of or at least closely associated with, more than 400 anti semitic groups on social media and elsewhere, with Patterson even suggesting that some of Corbyn's comments or endorsement of others comments is in breach of "Hate Crime" legislation and as such should be prosecuted accordingly. Friedman, with his legal background did no
