New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 21 February 2016





Good morning everyone.

Why is it that all supermarkets and shops do not have any McVitie's Ginger Nut biscuits on their shelves? It seems that this particular biscuit has been unavailable for some months. Has the world run out of ginger? 




Boris Johnson throws off the mask of duplicity and reveals his real position and his true intention of displacing Cameron as leader of the Conservative party. By linking arms with Gove, Duncan-Smith, Grayling, Pritti Patel and incredibly Nigel Farage, Johnson add significant weight th the vote “Out” camp. A direct challenge to the Cameron "rabbit from the hat", deal with the EU which Cameron says is a deal that he will recommend to the British people and vote "Yes" in the referendum to remain as a member of the European Union. He is probably a tadd miffed with Boris this morning.
As I said back at the beginning of this pantomime,"Cameron would claim the same "victory" even if the "deal" was no more than a blank sheet of A4 paper, which of course it actually is".
All very predictable and now, all very boring.


Boris joins "No" campaign


George Osborne has reportedly received a dividend pay-out worth £1,230 from the wallpaper business With family connections to HMRC, it is hardly surprising that the Osborne & Little Group Ltd paid no corporation tax or that Osborne received a dividend of £1,230 from his family’s wallpaper business.
If you have the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is the Second Lord of the Treasury and head of Her Majesty's Treasury as part of the firm, it would be a complete waste of resources not to make the most of it.

Condor Rapide
Meanwhile, back in Jersey, Condor have again shot themselves in the foot and upset a number of people. The Condor Rapide, which operates between St. Malo and the Channel Islands (and sometimes to the mainland when the Liberation has again been taken out of service), managed to “miss” the tides at St. Helier stranding around 200 passengers on the ship for more than 3 hours. The ferry sat in St Aubin bay while Condor people on shore and on the ship wandered around in circle muttering repeatedly “what do we do now?” When will the States dump this inept operator and its white elephant ships and replace them with a company which will actually benefit the islanders?

Still no snow! We have some very odd weather. Perhaps its global warming screwing things up.

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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
