New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 06 March 2016




Good morning everyone.

It is March already the 3rd month of 2016 and even with the extra day, the year seems to be hurtling by at an even faster rate than last year!


John Longworth
BCC Director general John Longworth

 Which ever side of the European debate you happen to sit on, it is outrageous that you can be suspended, and ultimately loose your job (did he jump or was he pushed?), for suggesting that Britain would be better off outside the European Union. This high handed, arrogant and dictatorial behaviour, demonstrates the lengths of bullying that the pro EU lobby will employ to frighten the people of this country to vote "Stay" in the referendum. There is even growing speculation the Downing Street was involved in this hounding of British Chamber of Commerce Director general John Longworth. The referendum debate is fast becoming a sordid scaremongering farce, with each side throwing out smears, threats, bullying and disinformation to blacken their opponents and few actual facts to support their side of the argument. It is a depressing thought that this pantomime will continue right through till June!



Going in for the tackle during a secondary school rugby match.



Some doctors and “health experts” have called for a ban on tackling in school rugby games. More Pc garbage. Rugby is a contact sport and as with all sports of that kind will contain an element of risk. The 70 doctors and "health experts" are trying to create a nation of wimps. They would be better utilised doing their knitting and playing Tiddly Winks.


Ginger Nut Cookies
Ginger nuts


You will be pleased to learn, (well I assume you will be pleased), that McVitie's ginger nuts are to return to the shops and supermarkets after a three month absence following flooding at one of Britain’s biggest biscuit factories. This “staple” of the British diet will be available from the middle of this moth. I shall place an advance order with our supermarket.

Economic Development Minister Lyndon Farnham


Meanwhile, back in Jersey.
Is someone in the Jersey States legislature finally beginning to see the light? Condor Ferries have been taking the p**s and taking the money for years.
“Time is running out for Condor” Senator Lyndon Farnham the Island’s Economic Development Minister warned this week following a weekend of technical issues and cancellations.



We had quite a hailstorm on Wednesday morning, with winds over 95mph recorded at Portland.
More to come and even worse so they say.
This weather seems to be the norm now rather than the exception.
Ces't la vie.


Have a nice week.

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...

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

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ 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 t...

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 ...
