New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

Good morning everyone.

Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California. Unless they are actually doing some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice.

The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of the press" and the right to free speech. Not for the first time, and probably not the last unless they are stopped, the Mail provides a rationale for those who argue that when the media, abuse their powers and position within society, they forfeit the rights associated with a free press. There is a vast difference between reporting, even brutally, that which is true and reporting no more than distortion, lies and embellished innuendo, to promote a political bias. What the Mail glaringly omits from its narrative of course, is the fact that a number of other politicians have also refused the invitation to attend the invitation the State Banquet for Trump in June. The invitation has been declined not as a "snub" to the Queen but as a direct statement to Trump, the racist, hypocrite and misogynist, who has lied and deceived his way around the world from Korea to Israel and Mexico to Venezuela. This view of Trump is clearly shared by many who have already declined the invitation and thousands who have not been invited. Trump is a dangerous two faced liar. It should not come as any surprise that the Daily Mail should endorse him and his visit. Trump is not welcome in this country. The Mail is not welcome as a newspaper on the shelves of our newsagents, or on the internet.

Image result for mercedes first and second in baku

Mercedes 1st and 2nd in Baku with Ferrari coming in 3rd. Is this another Hamilton F1 Championship? Just 1 point behind the other Mercedes driver, team mate Bottas, There are Hamilton's most successful tracks still to come. Let us hope that there are no "team orders" to spoil the remaining races and Hamilton chances of taking another world title.

In an act of "Political correctness" gone completely mad, it seems to have been decided that ships of the Royal Navy are to become "gender neutral". We are no longer to refer to ships as "she" or "her" but must use the word "it".

May God Bless it and all who sail in it". Complete lunacy.

It seems to have cooled down again.I hope that our summer has not gone already !

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.
