Good morning everyone.
What a week for David Cameron !


"Deep Throat" told Bob Woodward to "Follow the money".


 Five days and five different story versions, culminating in a potted account of "the truth". Cameron says that he "should have handled this better", now there is a self evident truism. He then says  "I know there are lessons to learn and I will learn them" when what he actually means is that from now on he will be better at it and he won't get caught again. It would be difficult for the Conservatives to select a new leader as all the possible contenders are "all in it together". 




Matt Armstrong with a parking ticket he received
Matt Armstrong was slapped with an £110 fine by Lambeth Council

Lambeth Council painted a "Disabled Car parking bay" in the road outside Matt Armstrong's home. The bay had been requested some two years ago by Mr Armstrong's next door neighbor for a resident who had actually died earlier this year. The council workmen eventually arrived and overnight, painted the white markings in the road. Unfortunately, the markings were painted around Mr Armstrong's car! The following morning, along came the obligatory Traffic warden and slapped a Fixed Penalty notice for £110 on his windscreen. I assume that he told the Council to go to hell. Local authorities are notorious for employing too many jobs worth morons who have little else to do but to dream up more outrageous ways to rip off the public.
(The fixed penalty has since been rescinded)

biscuits will be delivered to retailers in the comings weeks
 Meanwhile, back in Jersey.Some of the most popular biscuits have been absent from Jersey shops in recent months after floods forced the closure of the factory in Carlisle which supplies shops across Britain.The United Biscuits factory produces several well-known products, including custard creams, bourbon creams, McVities ginger nuts and Carr’s table water biscuits.Retailers Waitrose, the Co-op and Sandpiper CI stores replaced some products with alternatives to bridge the gap until the factory was reopened, but the Carlisle factory has now resumed production, and biscuits will be delivered to retailers in the comings weeks after being off the shelves since December.

Sir John Chilcot 
 


 
It seems that the long awaited Chilcott Report will be subject to further delay as British spies will next week, begin the task of "vetting and editing" the text. The influence of Blair still prevails in this saga of prevarication and delay. Blair's "Spooks" crawling all over the draft report, deleting or even now amending the text to reflect Blair's version of "the truth", reeks of cover up and conspiracy.
Still no snow!
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 ...
