New Agenda on Sunday. is out! Edition of 13 March 2016







Good morning everyone.

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.





England 25 Wales 21. England took the Triple Crown at Twickenham yesterday defeating Wales in what was probably the best England performance in this years 6 Nations. The scoreline tends to flatter Wales as they managed to increase their points total by 14 points only when England were reduced to 14 as Dan Cole was sent to the sin bin with just 10 minutes left on the clock. Another of Craig Joubert,'s bizarre decisions. Only France now stand between England and a 2016 Grand Slam.
Late news: England are the Six Nations Champions for 2016 after Scotland win at Murrayfield. Only the match against France remains.

Sir George Henry Martin CBE (3 January 1926 – 8 March 2016) was an English record producer, arranger, composer, conductor, audio engineer and musician and "5th Beatle".
Great talent R I P.A video of one of his best arrangements (In my opinion) can be viewed in the Video section of New Agenda on Sunday.

Meanwhile, back in Jersey.
The Jersey Evening Post, known locally as the JEP, is reporting that Condor has not been "given two weeks to sort out service".
In fact they have been given two weeks to come up with a "plan to improve their service". This is in addition to all the previous plans, produced with monotonous regularity over the years, to add to the mountain of excuses, reasons, justifications and all the other weasel words used by Condor to vindicate their existence as the only ferry service provider for the Channel Islands, United Kingdom St. Malo (France) routes.
What is staggering is that over the years, the Jersey States have been gullible enough to believe the mitigations trotted out by this wretched company and have accepted their words as plausible thus allowing the company to carry on with pathetic performance and the money grabbing extortion of their customers.
In fact, it is so staggering that people may wonder if there is some covert agenda lurking in the background.

Following on from the hailstorm of last week, we had another downpour on Wednesday. Yes it was bad. I had to use the A35 to Poole .It was "challenging" in the morning and even more so coming back in the afternoon. Today, the sun is shining!
Oh the vagaries of the British "climate".

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 ...
