Good
morning everyone.
I
consider myself to be fortunate that I am English rather than
American. In a land of around 320 million, they can only find two
people (I am reluctantly discounting Saunders who seems to be out of
the race) to stand for election for the Presidency. What an awful
choice remains! The screeching hysterical megalomaniac or the
ranting, demented megalomaniac. Just goes to prove that in the
political arena of the United States, money is infinitely more
important than principle, integrity or even talent.

The
war of words between the
two camps of the In/Out EU Referendum debate becomes more acrimonious
and will grow even more bitter as we move closer to Polling day. The
chasms in the Conservative party (too wide to be called splits)
appear to be terminal for a
party
which once labelled itself as the One Britain party. The
Labour party on the other hand, has some differences of opinion on
Brexit, but generally seems to support the “remain” option.
Whatever the result of the referendum, it seems very clear that
Cameron will be removed from office and we shall have a new Prime
Minister. Even that however may be quite short lived and we face the
prospect of an early General election, perhaps even before Christmas.
The ramifications of the EU vote will be wide ranging and long felt.

Meanwhile,
back in Jersey. The Condor Liberation, you remember that £50 million
“flagship”, which I have written about previously, has developed
yet another “technical problem”, with the engines causing it to
run on reduced power, and thereby extending the crossing times
between the mainland and the Channel Islands. Since going into
service in only April of last year (and even the maiden voyage date
was delayed!) Liberation has encountered a catalogue of “technical
faults”, mishaps, collisions and delays resulting in a widely held
view that the ship is jinxed. Surely the time must come when Condor
are instructed to either dump this ship or loose the franchise.

Stories
in the New Agenda on Sunday this week, include Badgers being shot and
left as “road kill” victims, a Guardsman fainting at the Trooping
the Colour ceremony, Cameron
squirming during a BBC television interview and John Cleese backing
Brexit, Something for everyone in fact.
The
weather continues to confuse everyone. Warm and humid followed by wet
cool. This weeks forecast is humid, sunny periods, very warm with
rain and thunder, No mention of snow however.
Have
a nice week.
