Not just another "couple having a row."

Boris Johnson's late night 'plate-smashing' bust-up with lover

Frankly, I don't give a damn (as they say) who the Conservatives  elect as their next leader. They can elect Jack the Ripper to lead them as far as I am concerned, but this Tory leadership election is different. They will be electing the next Prime Minister of this country. The holder of the highest position of State in the country should be "squeaky clean" in both their private lives as well as their public lives. However, Tweddle Dumber shows yet again how unfit he would be to become Prime Minister, as more allegations concerning his private life emerge in the media.

Screams of "get off me" and "get out of my flat" from partner Carrie Symonds, together with sounds of banging and breaking crockery were reported coming from M/s Symonds flat in the early hours of this morning and were recorded by a neighbour. At one point M/s Symonds is alleged to have shouted "You do not care, You are just spoilt". The police were called by a neighbour who was "concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour." It seems that this was more than just another couple "having a row" as one Tory MP tweeted. 

Domestic abuse and violence is a growing phenomenon in our society and we must ensure that we do not trivialise it or dismiss it as just having a row.  Who ever the conservative members elect as their leader, neither could be described as "squeaky clean"and the events of last Friday morning certainly indicate that at least one of them is not fit for the post of PM.

This whole sequence of events, is a compelling argument that the position of Prime Minister must carry the legitimacy of a general election, which will certainly not be the case with the next incumbent.

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.
