Good morning everybody.

What has been happening this week? Well, there was the Eurovision Song Contest which produced the usual collection of rubbish songs and the United Kingdom came last as is almost the norm for our performance. I did not watch any of this annual show as the contest came from Tel Aviv (but that is another story), but apart from the results section which is usually hilarious anyway I rarely if ever see the programme. The mystery remains however, that since when has Australia or Israel for that matter, been in Europe?

I quite enjoy red wine, but never in a restaurant or anywhere else, have I been served with a bottle of Chateau le Pin Pomerol 2001, (at £4500.00 per bottle) by mistake. I have had a few bottles of cheap tasting plonk poured into my glass by mistake, but never a very expensive Bordeaux. It seems that the member of staff responsible for the error however was told that management still loved them anyway. The diner who got the wine was not available for comment.

It now seems that the Bundestag has capitulated to the growing pressures from other quarters that anything remotely critical of Israel and its government is automatically antisemitic and must be condemned or even outlawed.

Filming for a new series of 1980s TV show Bergerac could begin in Jersey early next year.I shall be glued Gagarin. John Nettles is probably too old for the role now,but it will be interesting to see who is the new Jim.

The Prime Minister has finally lost it. After three previous attempts, she is now seeking to bring the Withdrawal Bill back for the fourth time. The only thing that has changed is the slogan which she attaches to "her deal", to frighten renegade Brexiteers into supporting her attempts to get the withdrawal agreement "over the line". She now uses the blatant threat that the choice is either her deal or no Brexit. A strange choice of words which may be construed as exactly what any Remainer MP's have actually have been striving for. No matter which solution the Prime Minister seeks to present to the Commons as a way to "deliver Brexit" the one fact remains which so far, nobody has resolved. That is the problem of the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Until such time, if ever, that a solution is found, it seems to me that we really have no alternative but to revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU

As I have argued before.A united Ireland is perhaps the best solution and probably the only solution to the "hard Brexit" Irish border problem.

Trump is threatening to "destroy" Iran again. John Bolton is busy winding up anyone who will listen to get in with this insanity. God protect us from Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber.

SHH. The sun is shining !

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

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.

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
